Basements are Depressing

The world just looks a little shittier when looking at it through a basment window.

It makes me think of Steve McQueen. Why did he have to go an die? He was a totally realistic action hero, believable. Like he might be a guy you know or maybe even you. And likable. And tough but not because he was too stupid to feel the pain, but because he could fight through it. His face was expressive and his physical presence interesting. He'd do normal things and make them interesting. Not like Kommandant Arnold stilted, inhuman and fucking retarded (save Conan and Terminator.) Not a caracture of a human being.

Steve was always in solitary confinement struggling to maintain his sanity.


Today's Song of the Day is "Koyaanisqatsi" by Philip Glass off his 1983 film soundtrack "Koyaanisqatsi."

Crazy Fact: In the early '70s, he formed the Philip Glass Ensemble, a seven-piece group that had nowhere to play by art galleries and Max's Kansas City. Crazy!
