New Pete Yorn & Kinky

One Pete Yorn track deserves another...although I never thought I would be posting a Pete Yorn and Kinky track...but then again I never thought I would still be interested in writing this blog nearly a year after starting...

This awesome track is from an album called Altered States which is a soundtrack for a non-existent film put together by Robin Danar...you still with me?....okay, besides this Pete Yorn/Kinky combination there are tracks by Rachel Yamagata, Inara George [of The Bird and The Bee] and Lisa Loeb.

Gone, Baby, Gone

I have been meaning to write this for a little bit now but I had more pressing things to write over the past few weeks.

No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood have been supplanted for my Best Picture of the Year by Gone Baby Gone...and I nearly fell off the couch when I remembered that it was directed by Ben Affleck. I had forgotten that completely and I don't really remember seeing him do much promotion for it on the talk shows...or maybe I just wasn't watching that night...

The movie is based on Dennis Lehane's novel [he also wrote Mystic River] so I knew going in it was going to be a solid story but Casey Affleck gives a great performance that I think should have been nominated for something...make up a category if you have to.

Nathan Fielder

For people who live along the US/Canadian border you may be familiar with the Canadian Broadcasting Company's show This Hour Has 22 Minutes. It is essentially the Canadian Daily Show but mainly the jokes are "Bush is dumb!" or "Hillary wears pants suits!" Hidden in this mediocre show is a comedy treasure called Nathan Fielder. He is a corespondent of some kind that has a segment called "On Your Side" in which he tries to give you helpful tips. Here are two of my favorite segments, one on sex in advertising and one on lying. Give this man his own show in America now!
