Read the Exclusive Interview with Miguel Arteta over at We Love You So. It really got me more familiar with Miguel Arteta’s other work and insight into the movie. I saw the movie on Friday and really enjoyed it. I too thought the animation was a kick back to One Crazy Summer, etc surprised it wasn’t.

I first found out about Cody when I picked up his zine “Young, Angry and Rich” off the ground of the Recycled Sounds parking lot in Kansas City. That was ten years ago and a lot has changed about how his art and music are delivered and presented. What his ridiculously impressive biography doesn’t illustrate though is the extent to which Cody and a whole crew of dedicated Kansas City kids have created their own world of near-constant, well, creation.
In addition to touring and recording with Ssion, Cody’s long-running band (full disclosure: I play drums in Ssion), he’s also premiering his first movie, BOY, this year in the U.S. and Europe. It opens in LA at Peres Projects on January 16th. Matt and I will both be headed down to check it out.
Lane: What are you currently working on or just finished that you’re excited about?
Critcheloe: I’m getting ready to premiere my movie, BOY, at Peres Projects in LA on January 16th. I’ll also be showing some drawings and creating an installation for the movie to be shown in. i just finished shooting a video for Peaches and it should be completed sometime this month. It’s wizard of oz themed and it’s basically a parody of being “styled.” Think lady gaga if she was on crack and had a $10 budget.
Lane: Where have you traveled this month or recently?
Critcheloe: I went to europe with my band, Ssion. we were opening for the Gossip. It was the easiest tour I’ve ever been on… getting stoned, goofing around, playing a show and then getting stoned again and eating a shit ton of food… I didn’t really meet anyone or go anywhere, but I didn’t care cuz I was leaving the dream, man!
Lane: What’s your favorite music right now?
Critcheloe:
Wet Look “Wou Wont Die”
Little Richard!!!!!!!!!!
Wham “Freedom”
Marc Almond and Clint Ruin covering Soft Cell’s “Ghost Rider”
Azari and III
Calvin Harris “Flashback”
Akon
Roisin Murphy “Momma’s Place”
Jason Derulo “Whatcha Say”
Lane: Best food you’ve had in your neighborhood lately or while you were traveling?
Critcheloe: My roommate brought home Dominos Pizza last night and it was sooo good! Especially smothered in garlic butter! I’m a freak for sauce!
Lane: Anything else you want to mention?
Critcheloe: Lately i’ve been worried that I’m becoming a woman (mostly mentally and somewhat physically!) Also, people need to see this: Lydia Lunch Interviews on Videowave.
Thank you Secretly Canadian for bringing this to America and for preparing to release their new record this year. jj is from Gothenburg, Sweden and their record is one I didn’t catch the first time around and I’m way late but glad to be here now. I can thank SC and Nathan R. for helping me finally get into it.

Delicatessen is a new blog of vinyl rips by Shawn Brackbill and Kurt Lane.
Shawn had a photo exhibition at Delicatessen Zeeburg in Amsterdam and he and Kurt bought a ton of records there and had no idea what a lot of them were. Now we all get to go on the journey together finding that out.

I’d like to bring in the new year with a “solo mosh” to Converge like I am in that photo above that was taken by my great friend and talented photographer Bryan Sheffield. It’s been slow posting so far but things should get going here soon. There will be new Weekly Check In’s, movie reviews, food reviews, music reviews, products, all with a little help from some great friends. Here’s to a great 2010.
Also very exciting things happening with the website I work at Virb.com so stay tuned for further news on that.
