5.12.06 BIFF fever

This one was all songs about movies, mostly. The first annual Berkshire International Film Festival has taken over the town. After the radio show I hit the opening reception, saw the new Altman film Prairie Home Companion (my review: WTF?) and then hunkered down at Helsinki to see So-Called (my review: hysterical!) and binge drank slivovitz with my temporary spiritual advisor, life coach and stunt double Seth Rogovoy.
