One of the weirdest things about Cameron Crowe's Singles was that twenty-somethings were meeting and mingling in warehouses at grunge shows. Campbell Scott catches his first glimpse of Kyra Sedgwick at an Alice in Chains show. Layne Staley is going bonkers and Jerry Cantrell is shirtless. How many people out there do you think met the love of their life at an Alice in Chains show? Dennis Rodman once said that their music was tops when it came to love/babymaking music. I think I just answered my own question.

Never really had much of an opinion on Chloë Sevigny, but I can see why people might think she's a babe. I get it. She turns in a heartbreaking performance as a battered motel housekeeper in this video for "I Feel Like the Mother Of The World," one of only a handful he released under that pseudonym. It, like most Bill Callahan songs, will probably make you feel your blues are now in HD.

Figured getting some Soundgarden up today would be timely given the pseudo-reunion that took place last week in Seattle. The "Spoonman" riff has been on the brain since, but that video is snoozeriffic in a bad way. "Black Hole Sun" is a worthy sub, but "Fell On Black Days" is sexier and replete with Portuguese subtitles should you ever need them. Do you wonder what goes in Chris Cornell's head when he watches an old clip like this? I do.
