lucero/baboons

before i get going on a completely urelated topic: two songs from lucero's upcoming album can be heard here



sounds like it's going to be a different kind of thing from that much further west, we'll see though. also the "about" section on the page mentions the documentary about them. there's a good chance that i'm going to be in that thing, they taped my interview with the band last april (damn, it's been a year since then).
hooray for potential 15 minutes of fame in an obscure documentary.

the other day there was a movie called "primal force" on the tv. here's the premise as far as i could tell (i came in late): a group of scientists and military types, led by a grizzled seen-it-all-before kind of guy, are stranded on an island filled with, yes, vicious mutated killer baboons.
that needs repeating: vicious mutated killer baboons.
if that's not enough: the baboons are clearly played by midgets in monkey suits.
i hate to give away the ending, but it involves hand-to-paw combat to settle an old score.
oh yeah, and there's an insane scientist on top of it all who says stuff like "they all thought i was mad! well who's mad now?"

i suggest seeing it, but don't pay money if you can avoid it. you will no doubt feel ashamed for paying.
