On Come Back to Greater Kazakhstan
There's a documentary called "Capital" on Astana and its rapid rise - I saw it at the Full Frame documentary fest last year. Not sure if it has any distro or anything, but it's worth the time if you can find it.

On The NHL's Goal Horns, In Order
OK, I've heard people complaining about the Hurricanes one before -- but I don't get it. What's so bad about it?
What I really dislike is the end-of-period sound in Boston. That stupid siren.

On The Colonial Vibe Of Destroyer's 'Kaputt'
And I mean, I LOVED 'Streethawk' and 'Thief'. Amazing records. But latter Destroyer has diverged from my taste, sadly.

Um, it doesn't sound like 'Avalon' at all.
Personally did not dig.

On Magnetic Fields Movie Almost Here
I also saw it at Full Frame, back in April. It was okay -- very nice to look at, and a good portrait of the relationship between SM & CG. Ultimately it seemed that the story wasn't super engaging, and I felt like they completely glossed over my favorite MFs era (the name Susan Anway was not mentioned even once, if I remember right).
