Shiny, Happy, Blog

Seven more weeks!!!



I am loving the scruffy Thom by the way.

Couple of cd's to recommend and a flick bit to check out too.

Chapter 27, the new movie starring Jared Leto, has an exclusive 4 or so min. clip on http://www.comingsoon.net. He plays Mark David Chapman, the man who killed Lennon.

The new Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks cd, Real Emotional Trash, is really good. The group sounds much more like a band on this album rather than just a few of Stephen's friends that he invited over and asked to play some instruments while he turned on the recorders.

Also cool is the Gutter Twins-Saturnalia. Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan (sp) have teamed up and not surprisingly the album sounds like a cross between Afghan Whigs and Screaming Trees, only done by more mature folk. Again, pretty obvious. So far I really like the song Idle Hands. Dulli's voice plays nicely off of Lanegan's, who sounds like a melodic Tom Waits.

I picked up the new B-52's cd yesterday. I haven't quite decided how I feel about it yet. I'm about half way through and while the tunes, for the most part, are quite fun and catchy, the lyrics are letting me down. I still really enjoy the first single, "Funplex."

Okay, Ghosthunters is on so I'm signing off.
