RIP Mike Seeger

I'm sorry to hear that Mike Seeger of The New Lost City Ramblers died last night. I know that I'm not alone in having gotten a lot of pleasure out of his music, and my condolences go out to his friends and family.

Thoughts on Moon

Actually, I don't want to say too much. I eagerly anticipate new films, keeping an eye out for trailers and reading up on reports from film festivals and shit, so it's rare that I see something without bringing any preconceived notions with me. I managed to do so with Moon, however, knowing only the broadest details of the premise, and it proved to be quite rewarding. So let me say only this: it's a rough-hewn, evocative, unassuming, atmospheric piece of science fiction, and I recommend it unconditionally.
