Spot on, I really enjoyed it. My roomate and I were far too hungover on new years day to do anything else, so we watched half of V for Vendetta, Love Actually and Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) and I think I'd place the last one above 500 Days, but it's a different kind of movie. And Marion Cotillard is... damn. Also watched American Beauty last night, another movie I'm glad I saw again.

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

Block Rockin' Beats - Chemical Brothers

It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not a fan of how it's in between Advertising and Truffle Pigs. Yes, maybe it's necessary but I think it's too stripped down in comparison to the songs before and after it. The lack of punch musically just doesn't sit well with me. I think it was placed in the wrong spot in the album, makes it kinda forgettable for me. Still a good song lyrically.

No, but ask me again in about 3-4 years time and I might reconsider. Damn MBA programs, still undecided... Have you ever had an amicable breakup/remained good friends afterward?

Coldplay - Green Eyes

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

Andy, You're A Star - The Killers

White Lies - Death, and then the rest of To Lose My Life. Inspired to listen to it by a compilation of 2009 in film video: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1926918

They're making this into a movie with Natalie Portman. I shit you not. Staying on topic, I'm reading American Psycho and I don't know what to make of it. I read it in spurts and then have to stop, but I keep coming back for more. I've already seen the movie so I'm kinda glad I know what I'm working towards, but I still wonder if I would finish it if I had not seen the movie. Next in the pile - either the Shock Doctrine (yes, I know. It's old news now.) or The Odyssey, although I feel like I should read The Illiad first now...

Still one of my favourite music videos to watch. AoB is a great album - BM was the rise, AoB was the crash and Avalanche was like a rebirth. All of it farkin' awesome, and I'm pretty sure AoB gets the most plays for me of the three.

The usual assortment of clothes (shirts, a pair or two of jeans, socks) plus some Threadless tees ;) new coat, Superstore and Empire Theaters gift cards, some cash and candy, and two wallets. Two. To quote from above, WTH?? P.S. Nice snag on the snuggie..? You're the first person I've heard of that got one as a gift, I was expecting to hear more people getting them.

This is the first year I haven't watched any of it. I usually catch some of it during the holidays but I don't think I've sat through an entire run of it in years. I feel as though seeing the ads for it on CBC have fulfilled my quota for the year.

You've Done It Again, Virginia - The National

Finished with The National's Boxer, moved onto Interpol's Our Love To Admire

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ - free online virus scan, I've heard it's one of the better free ones that actually catch the damn things. I've used it before but I'm generally virus free so I can't personally speak to it's thoroughness.

1) Weapon 2) Tripoli 3) A Single Explosion 4) 99% of Us is Failure 5) Advertising on Police Cars 6) Change of Season

I just think the whole thing is weird, but only because I watched 8 Mile for the first time on Saturday night. Otherwise I wouldn't have really thought about it twice.

Near Fantastica - Matthew Good Never really gave this track the love it deserves. Must be because of the season...

Near Fantastica Born Losers I Miss New Wave Flash Dance II Suburbia Sort Of A Protest Song

It's nothing close up but the original rehearsal video from Duane has the whole band visible -

Anyone see the pic they have of Matt on The Hour's website? Probably the most unflattering one I've ever seen of him...

1) Change of Season 2) The Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production 3) Born to Kill 4) Flight Recorder From Viking 7 5) I'm a Window 6) A Boy and His Machine Gun 7) Avalanche 8) Prime Time Deliverance 9) Apparitions

I'm A Window, Single Explosion and Silent Army? I'm a bit jealous... Next time around I need to start following Matt around the Maritimes, that or fly out to Toronto for a few days
