Bonnie Prince Billy put on a great show last night. The venue, Pico Union Project, a historic temple, was very special and had incredible sound. There’s also onsite parking, which is great!

Angelenos of good taste: Looks like they released a few more tickets for this Friday’s Bonnie Prince Billy show. It says sold out on Folk Yeah’s site, but click anyway, and there you go.

Watch Strange Darling. Not your average serial killer gunk. Very clever, very disturbing. Don’t read anything about it beforehand. youtu.be/4wqsAwoSOd0?...

A friend will be teaching a writing class to English-speaking high school students in the Czech Republic. He wants to give them 20 or stories to read. Suggestions? I’m recommending something from In Our Time. I read it in high school, and it was very influential on my development as a writer.

“Cops and Robbers” by Bo Diddley. Heard this for the first time yesterday on KXLU Los Angeles 88.9 FM’s No More Heroes show (a favorite of mine). youtu.be/Pyi918Fq-B8?...

Had breakfast at Comida Del Pueblo, which serves delicious food in a backyard in East L.A. I had the machaca plate, which was excellent. The loaded birria chilaquiles looked good too. Next time.

RIP David Lynch. He made some great stuff, but, more importantly, he influenced others to make great stuff by changing the way we experience the world.

The closest fire is still pretty far away from us, but the smoke is intense. Here’s a shot from my gym in Hollywood at 6:45 am.

Loved Nosferatu. Super-creepy and disturbing. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Fantastic filmmaking with a real Exorcist/Shining-level feeling of dread. Lily-Rose Depp was great. More of an art film than straight-up horror. Which is a good thing. youtu.be/2oSjet-2_jI?...

Watched Where Eagles Dare last night. Awesome! Nonstop action and suspense, a twisty plot, and great special effects and cinematography. A real movie movie. youtu.be/J80nOz7wFqY?...

Saying goodbye to Patra, one of the last vestiges of the old Echo Park. Delicious utility burgers and breakfast sandwiches.

Didn’t see a lot of new movies this year. Here are a few I enjoyed. Probably a three way tie between Saltburn, Kneecap, and Emilia Perez for my fave. Saltburn Furiosa Quiet Place: Day One Kneecap Joker: Folie a deux Emilia Perez Reptile

I went into Emilia Perez reluctantly but ended up impressed. Not really a musical, more like a crime (soap) opera with a few dazzling song and dance sequences. Whatever it was, it worked for me. Zoe Saldana is incredible and the cinematography is top notch. On Netflix. youtu.be/4h7j_EcZ5fU?...

TBT: This is me some Halloween in the early 1990s, holding a lighter while someone dumps Cremora creamer off the top of the garage at our place on Hyperion. We knew how to fucking party! (Cremora goes up like gasoline if you sprinkle it just right.) Photo by Sarah W.

Caught The Oxbow Incident for the first time the other night. Wow! What a tragic and brutal film. Way ahead of its time (1943). Genuinely moving and disturbing. youtu.be/W7KgAMlQ7kI?...
