the sadness

1-18-08

from the beginning of it's promotion, cloverfield has been shrouded in secrecy. now that it's out, go see it before you hear too much about it. it's probably the most realistic "monster" film ever made. not an ounce of cheese. I've already said too much. i will post more thoughts after the film has been out a bit longer. go see cloverfield now!

what a difference a week makes

well, i'm back again. this has been a wonderful week at my new job, but at the same time, very busy. 13 & 15 hour work days don't put me in the mood for blogging. nevertheless, here i am on this long and wonderful weekend. the job is fantastic, and i am getting to work very closely with brian henson everyday. i will finally post my number one album of 2007 this weekend, and i am almost ready to start my top films of 2007. I will also be posting little thoughts and such things here and there, so enjoy!

a happy day for me

here is my new place of business.

23

23 sent blonde redhead from a band i liked, to one of my favorite current bands. the track 23 opens the album, and sets the tone for what is a much more accessible record, but i feel like it's also their smartest. there isn't a bad song on the record, but dr. strangeluv, the dress and spring and by summer fall, are easily some of 2007 best. out of the very few live shows i went to in 2007, i enjoyed blonde redhead twice. both were fantastic, and made me see the album in a whole new light. the airy vocals of kazu, the strange and beautiful guitar tones of amedeo, and the complex, yet steady rhythms of simone make 23 sonic crack to me, and i couldn't imagine a better record this year.....until.......

hiatus

i have been getting into the grove of the new year, but i will finish up my top albums tonight!
