Thax Douglas On Himself, His Role, and Why He Doesn't Read for Wilco Anymore

MotoringFile Sections: Uncategorized May 31st, 2005 2 Comments

If you live(d) in Chicago and are a Wilco fan, this will no doubt interest you. If you are neither of those things, you may want to skip this one…

Bands and people are complicated creatures, and what i do is take a tangled complex abstract impression of a band, a song, or an aspect of the band musically as well as how it reverbrates in people’s minds-and translate that impression into a brief poem-which when read gives that impression back to the band and the fans as faithfully as a phonograph needle. But when there’s nothing left to record you can’t expect the phonograph needle to try and sound like an orchestra.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Is the second best Star Wars movie ever. Despite a few of bad lines dialogue, Lucas and many of the actors redeem themselves with quality performances that actually make you care about the characters. Go see it now if you haven’t already.

Driven: 2006 BMW 330i

MotoringFile Sections: Uncategorized May 3rd, 2005 27 Comments

I just got back from some quality time behind the wheel of a BMW 330i (6-speed/sports pkg) and I can tell you the thing is phenomenal. The car looks incredible in the flesh - I was totally surprised at how broad shouldered and buff it seems. The chassis is so balanced and neutral, very few other cars on the road can match it… let alone something so mass market. With the DSC off, the car becomes incredibly tossable and eager to wag it’s tail. Just a delightful thing to wring out. While it may lack a bit of the feel of the previous 3 series, it is faster, flatter and bolder.

In a word, incredible.
