Scarlet Street. I just watched this movie tonight, and boy, was it great. It’s probably best classified as a black comedy. The plot, which is delightfully complex, is full of “oh no!” moments that keep you on the edge of your seat. Edward G. Robinson’s performance is great, and the costumes are really fun to look at. And because it’s in the public domain, you can watch the whole thing at archive.org, which you should go do right away.
This is, I think, my favorite live recording of “Old College Try”, an excellent Mountain Goats song from their excellent album Tallahassee. Listen to the bass. Especially at the very end. It’s superb.
I was an assistant for CCAD’s saturday morning art classes this year. This is me and the guy I taught with, Derrick, who is a SMAC legend and a really swell dude.
