Antonio Banderas Rocks

I never saw Evita when it came out a million years ago. It got panned by the critics and I remember Madonna singing a song from it at the Oscars. I saw it last weekend as part of my pre-Argentine education (I know it’s a movie and not accurate blah blah blah so save your [...]

What’s On… My iPod

1. Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack 2. The Killers Day & Age 3. U2 No Line On The Horizon 4. ABBA originals rather than Mama Mia soundtrack (in particular, this is the audio equivalent of pica) 5. Putumayo compilation entitled Turkish Groove

No Line On The Horizon

I don’t even know what to make of it yet. It’s glanced off my grey matter like a pebble. My grey matter is currently too exhausted and occupied to absorb another drop of new information in order to form any kind of any opinion. But I like the album cover. A lot. The only thing [...]

Sawdust

  When iTunes informed me that there was a new Killers album coming out, I immediately signed up to pre-order it. They’re one of the few bands that I’ll buy any and all their stuff blindly. The album isn’t ann all-new album, but rather a collection of outtakes and extras they’ve had lying around, such as [...]

Radiohead Flips Off The RIAA

This isn’t breaking news. I only found out about it today while reading the cheap-o Metro newspaper in the break room. I’ve been too involved in my own personal odyssey to not know until almost a week late that one of my favorite bands has just released an album. Radiohead dropped their latest In Rainbows [...]

And They Can Never Wrong This Right

I had never seen at show at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan’s Midtown, and I hadn’t seen a rock show at all in over two years. I rectified both wrongs Saturday night. As the ghost of a great LV once said, “What a night. What a show.” There are reasons why the Killers, who are [...]

The Last Day of the Year

I didn’t have much planned for New Year’s since I was so focused on Christmas, it practically slipped my mind. I also didn’t finance for it. Since my last minute $900 air ticket, I don’t have much left (well, enough to get myself a new hard drive but that was a need, not an indulgence) [...]

I Love This Band

I haven’t totally adored a band as wholly as I do this one in a while. It isn’t big lyrics or big music and I know they’re not a Great Band, but they sound like they are having so much fun. I don’t know what the reality is, but there’s no much joy in the [...]

It’s Starting Again

Can’t it just be done so I can be over it? Please? Can’t it just be over? I’m already working both big holidays (the people who go around declaring that they hate Christmas should be forced to work it) and am feeling depressed about that. I don’t need to feel even more depressed that I [...]

Life of Edge, Part 2

Where are parts 1 and 3? Update: Part 1 and Part 3. Thanks to Pia.

Everywhere You Go, You Shout It

I was on the train coming back home from DC and I was reading James Michener’s Mexico lent to me by a friend at work. To drown out the cell phone noise (why must everyone make that annoying “I’m on the train” call?), I put on my iPod and picked How to Dismantle an Atomic [...]

Something to Look Forward To

Coming in October. I preordered on iTunes.
