Mad Men Opening Credits
Found this curator’s notes interesting on the ideas and innuendos behind the opening credits for the amazing TV series Mad Men. If you haven’t watched Mad Men I highly suggest it. But for starters - watch the opening credits, they might intrigue you.
Mad Men’s opening credit sequence is full of obvious and hidden clues as to what this series is all about. The program is a stylistic...

Cedrick the Bellman: [presents a pair of boxers] Your drawers, sir.

Cedrick the Bellman: I was very careful, sir.
Kevin McCallister: You can't be too careful when it involves underwear.
Cedrick the Bellman: I understand.

My Favorite Tunes Of 2009 (thus far)
I have been sitting here for the last 4 hours going through my 3 of music and trying to organize my best of the decade list. I realized I should first reveal my favorite songs of 2009, all of which happen to be on my favorite albums of 2009 as well. So here it goes and yes this is the legit list, even though I have been blogging about some of these since 2008 thanks to advanced music. It would...

Imogen Heap - 'Wait It Out'
‘Wait It Out’ lyrics off of Imogen Heap’s new album Ellipse.
Where do we go from here? How do we carry on? I can’t get beyond the questions… Clambering for the scraps in the shatter of us collapsed. Is cuts me with every “could have been.” Pain on pain on play, repeating. With the backup makeshift life in waiting. Everybody says that time heals...

I Give "District 9" A 10
District 9 does exactly what a reallllly realllly perfect sci-fi film should do to you, makes you hang on the edge of your seat for the next, who knows what to happen or appear? Even in the most comfortable of seats at the Graumans Chinese Theatre midnight showing, I tensed up just in eagerness or anxiousness - whatever you want to call it. This was a great tense. One that I would probably pay to...

I love when new albums remind you ...
I love when a band you love soooo much releases new music and it makes you reminisce over all the memories you have had around their past albums. Well this is totally happening for me mentally and maybe physically (since it is 6:00 am and I have yet to fall asleep).
Throw Me The Statue “Moonbeams” was a past luver, didn’t meant to forget about “Moonbeams”, but now...
WatchBlue Scholars - ‘HI-808’
These guys grew up in Honolulu, have an old school De La Soulish feel but with an bit of an island twist. I can dig it. Can you?
