Been neglectful of the blog because of a side project loosely related to the blog. A bit contradictory? Yeah, well, Jesus was a crossmaker:

This past Monday I hosted Plastic Tales and someone called in to request some Arcade Fire. I told them to reevaluate everything and then call back. A half an hour later he called back and requested Blue Oyster Cult. So, one man can make a difference. True story. Seriously.
Here's some highlights for ya:
I played "Lay Down" by The Strawbs because I gave away to tickets to their show (they're still around!)
"It Came in the Night" by the elusive band A Raincoat. The film was originally used in the Kenneth Anger film Rabbit's Moon, seen above. Some kind of lonely clown.
And finally the hilarious "Minotaur's Song" by The Incredible String Band. Now, I know I've played some bad homemade music videos on this blog before, but this is by far the worst. Although... this kid is 15 and he's probably just learning how to animate. Plus he's got really good taste. So I give it a thumbs up!

Plastic Tales Review (May)
Playlist and Archive for Monday (6/2/08)
I've been gone for about two months. What have I been up to? Well, two things. I was in Europe for a while, in the UK and attending the Cannes Film Festival. More on that in the days to come. I've also been working on a video webisode series called Polyester Dreams, loosely based on my radio work. More on that to come as well. Also, Arcana Obscura the radio show is no more and I have devoted myself to Plastic Tales exclusively.
In the meantime, the next few posts will be some videos of songs I've played in my blogging absence:
"Dambala," by the voodoo Obeah man, Exuma. The anti-Bob Marley.
"Rene," by the Small Faces. Whoever made this video is my hero.
"Cries from the Midnight Circus, " by the Pretty Things, a song about how they used to eat at diners frequented by prostitutes after they played shows.
