Watching Ronin on AMC.

I love this movie. Love it. LOVE it!

If you're not too busy listen to This

The show is called This American Life and it is my new love. This show plays on one of the few remaining good radio stations in Los Angeles: 89.9 KCRW. In the mornings, you can be introduced to a world of original and brain stimulating music all gently guided along by the soothing timbre of the NY/Austrailian/British accented Nic Harcourt, my sister's secret crush (don't tell her I told you that), and on the weekends you can groove along to the supremely well chosen songs of Chris "Coke-er" Douridas.

Recommended Tunes of the Day:

Today I've got a whole album to recommend..


+ Sean Lennon - Friendly Fire
The first album kicked ass and nobody gave a shit because the work was compared to his his fathers. Why didn't anyone compare it to Cibo Matto's work baffles me, because it obviously had more influence on Into The Sun (the 1st album) than any of Lennon senior's work. I'm not saying he's not his father because everyone has a lot of their parents in them. Heck, I am and emulate my father in many ways but that doesn't mean we're not ourselves either. Anyhow, I feel stupid even having to talk about this. It is just a good album - plain and simple. It certainly doesn't have the funky eclectic-ness of his freshman effort but Friendly Fire is a more intropsective contemplation. The melodys are mellow and hip but suggest a richness and lyrics quirky enough to be fresh. Honestly, if this album was attributed to anyone other than Sean, there'd be more talk.

The only thing I don't really understand about this is the use of Dead Meat as the single. It is one of the weaker songs of the album and I really think Falling Out of Love should've been the choice but anyhoo thats just my opinion.

Friendly Fire Trailer
If you can believe, Sean did a whole cinematic trailer to promote his album. How cool is that.



+ John Martyn - Singin' In The Rain
(I reeeeeaaaally hope someone doesn't use this song in a commercial. It is simply too beautiful to be desecrated as a product pusher)

+ Dr. John - Careless Love
(Beautiful piano work. Then again, would you have expected anything else from Dr. John?)


oh yeah,

watch this:

Its as fabulous as everyone says it is.
