While sick on my deathbed over the weekend, I watched one of my Netflix movies (which I do far too rarely nowdays)–Velvet Goldmine. Somehow, I never saw this movie when it came out in 1998, but I enjoyed it quite a lot in a campy, flashy Hedwig slash surreal Fear and Loathing but more serious sort of a way. I haven’t seen a movie like it in a while and it satiated that need quite well.

I found myself analyzing who all the main characters were supposed to be based on or inspired by in real life, which actually disturbed me since I didn’t think I knew all that much about glam rock.
