Rich came over to 159 Manning earlier this evening to watch psychedelic movies with Dafne, Nicole and I. The dvd’s were from his collection. He and I seem to have very similar taste in films, and other things.
He asked me if I had any ideas of opening acts for him, for some smaller Ontario dates. I nominated Triple Gangers. They played at Parts & Labour last Friday, and they were really fun and sounded great with just 3 singers and with the guy playing what he describes as a “shitty casio keyboard”. Not an easy sound to make work, but they pull it off! The audio for this video appears to have been recorded with 1 condenser mic in the middle of the room, which in this case really proves they can sing together live.
Tomorrow night is Met You On Livejournal 4.0 at Parts & Labour! It’s also our 1 year anniversary!

I really liked Holy Mountain but it’s been a while since I saw it. I’m wondering what it might be like if I got really fucking high. Oh, I also noticed that the band Seven Sisters of Sleep used footage from the film for a video of a song off their new record. Or a fan might have thrown it together: http://youtu.be/tFzuTGCbIXQ

I’d had trouble watching it after the first half hour when I tried watching it a few years ago, but I loved the whole movie last night (and I was totally sober). Watching it on mushrooms would be TERRIFYING. I suggested to Rich (aka Buck 65) that we make a music video for him recreating the scene with Jesus smashing all the plaster replications of himself (1:20 in the Seven Sisters of Sleep video).
