The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

It really sucked to find this out first thing in the morning. I woke up and turned on the TV, only to hear that he died. ;) Oh well. Somehow, I feel this is fitting. http://www.brandonbird.com/lno_me.html RIP Jerry Orbach

I love the backup vocals in this. It's so funny.

Matthew Good Band - Born To Kill

The NF$ have already been sent, so it's okay. I've got the B-Sides I want right now too. On another note, maybe the song should be added to the store. It doesn't seem like many people got the song, and I think it'd be easier to do that than say... a mass email with the song attached.

Sent. A few NF$ is fine, but honestly I was willing to do it for free.

I'll send it along, sure. It's about 2 MB. Where should I send it to?

I must be the other one then.

I got two books for Christmas, Diary and Choke, both by Chuck Palahniuk. I've started reading Choke. The humor in it is so dark... but I find it so funny. I've also been reading a bunch of comics. I bought a couple of trade paperbacks a while ago, The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank, and the Complete Watchmen series.

I only saw the trailer for this movie twice, but being a bit of a Wes Anderson fan (see also: Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore), I decided to see it. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I ended up walking out happy. The movie's got a lot of smart humor in it, but never to the point where it's pretentious. There's a lot of creative bits and scenes which have to be seen. I won't say anymore, I'd rather not spoil anything. Life Aquatic is one of my favorite movies this year, alongside Garden State and Shaun of the Dead. Go see it, especially if you're a Wes Anderson fan.

Daft Punk - Around The World

Semisonic

I remember I had an English student teacher in class, talking to us about world politics. Don't ask why... but anyways. Michael Moore was brought up by a classmate, and the teacher, almost right away, talked about how he disliked his work, calling him a "master of editing." He brought up how his movies are (obviously, for the most part) quite a bit like propaganda. Always one sided, very biased, and usually touched up to fit whatever agenda it's against. Still though, you raised a good point there, "but he'll at least get people talking about the topic of problems with healthcare." His work may be pretty one-sided, but the issues are brought to light as a result.

Radiohead - Follow Me Around

Lisa Loeb

The song's such a radical departure from Matt's other work, but I really like it. I like that one line, "Her thumbs on the one and she's dialed 91."

The Fearless Freep - Cardboard Stars

Friday Night Lights

Grandmaster Flash - White Lines (Don't Do It)

The Fearless Freep - Bottles

Frank Black - Speedy Marie

While I don't like most of the songs listed, I really hated the cover of Music by Out Of Your Mouth. I'd rather listen to Maroon 5 than have to hear that song again.

My Dog Skip

MGB - A Better Pain

Matthew Good Band - Going All The Way
