Every few months, I check Google to see where my reviews are ending up. Here are some of the more interesting results.Bach Movies:

lot of people are discovering and re-discovering this b-boy gem.]

Endnote: In addition, in the months before David Hudson
left GreenCine—he's now at IFC.com—he linked to the follow-
ing reviews, interviews, and other ephemera: Duplass Brothers interview, 2008 film list, Day of Wrath, A Colt Is My Passport,
i.e. "Billed as a noir, the film feels more like a thriller with Left
Bank overtones; more Albert Camus than Jean-Luc Godard,"
and Matt Wolf's debut, i.e. "There's nothing overtly strange about
[Arthur Russell's] music, except it's ethereal without entering the
more recognizable realms of psychedelia or new age (and intimate
without qualifying as conventional singer/songwriter fare). It's
accessible, in other words, but not commercial. And there you
have it: the kiss of death. You also have the makings of a cult
artist, and that's where Wild Combination begins..."
I'm also name-checked in the following thread at The Stran-
ger's Line Out. It's weird when you're reading a blog and all of
a sudden you stumble across your own name. Happily, no one
said anything unkind. Sadly, some of the chatter is inaccurate,
i.e. a couple of people seem to think I'm a regular contribut-
or to The Seattle Weekly. I'm not. Image from Fatlace.

Love that Vaughn-Bode-style graffiti. There used to be an incredible Bode warrior babe spray-painted in the King Street Station tunnel. It disappeared a few years ago, but it lasted for about 15 years. I wish Bode had lived to see graffiti artists embrace him.
Me too. Saw lots of graffiti in Rome--hey, it's an Italian word!--but nothing quite that creative, and in that ancient city, it just seemed...out of place.
