It’s Aaron Johnson! The lad who plays John Lennon in Nowhere Boy! I know one should not judge a film based on its trailer alone, but it is a great trailer and it did get nominated for four British Academy film awards meaning it should be good. AND it’s about John Lennon & The Beatles!!!!! AHHHHHH! SO EXCITED. October 15 can’t come fast enough.
P.S. can someone—anyone—please send me this issue of Man About Town? I don’t think I’ll find it anywhere here in Canada.

“Life isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day.” — Barbara Sher -

“ dismissing something based on genre or hype, is buying into capitalist ways of organizing information. there are good songs in every style of music, and all musicians have to promote themselves in order to earn a living.
not buying coffee at “insert name brand here” because you don’t want to be perceived as a certain kind of person, feeds into the idea that a brand or a logo or what you consume is who you are.
similarly, not going to a ‘black-metal’ show because you are in an indie-pop band or only like country music made in the 1930’s is to substitute genres for logos and is another form of conspicuous consumption. obviously this is not a threat to capitalism. if you are into a certain kind of music, fine, but don’t let that define you or close you off to a world of experience.

Joe Hisaishi—really the only composer, aside from Michael Giacchino (he made the score soundtrack for Up), who can bring me to tears EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Here’s his music composition for Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbour Totoro.

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.” —Carl Jung
So all loners need is a blog right?

“I’m sure you have heard it said that appearance does not matter so much, and that it is what’s on the inside that counts. This is, of course, utter nonsense, because if it were true then people who were good on the inside would never have to comb their hair or take a bath, and the whole world would smell even worse than it aleady does.” — Lemony Snicket (via thesnicketfile) -
