  1. Wow, I never knew you were such a Willie Nelson fan! This sounds like a nice lazy Sunday morning. What happens in the opening scene of the movie that inspired you?

  2. Neither did I, until I started listening to him. The movie starts with two people waking up to Pale Blue Eyes, which is different, given how they're Vietnamese in Hanoi.

  3. Bizarre: Crooked Fingers features (is?) the guy who used to be in Archers of Loaf. Slowdive pulled a similar genre-shift when they reformed as Mojave 3. Slip the surly bonds of earth, guys!
