Odd to hear "Nem Um Talvez" as an opening track, since it's on "Live/Evil."??

For better or worse, "Against Interpretation" had a big impact on me, probably because I read it in 1970 when I was an impressionable 20-year-old. "In place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art."

Hate to be the skunk at the garden party, but I was pretty underwhelmed by Sideways. Don't get me wrong, Paul Giamatti is wonderful, but man, I really didn't want to spend so much time with such a depressed schlub. The film doesn't really get going until he dumps the spit bucket on his head. The general skewering of wine snobs was very funny (I don't want to drink any goddam merlot, either...), but generating any sympathy for these two losers was an uphill proposition for me.
