tuesday tomorrow

hey there readers,

it's been awhile since i last rapped at ya, but i've been busy. friday i actually did some work (freelance videography job) and then i spent the weekend with the lady's parents. but now i am back. so don't you worry.

i'm back just in time, because it's...tuesday tomorrow. it's actually pretty exciting this week. if only i had more steady work, and could throw my money into the music business. i know twist & shout misses me!

MUSIC:
*Kidz Bop 13 - featuring Hey There Delilah, Big Girls Don't Cry (but little girls do!), S.O.S., and everybody's favorite suicidal hit, "Beautiful Girls." all sung by the kids, because Kidz Bop is for the children.
*Ray Davies - Working Man's Cafe - ok this one I actually am interested in. His last solo album Other People's Lives was wonderful, and this one's all about America. Even though it came out awhile ago in the UK and came free with a newspaper or something. Still, go America! And go Kinks reunion later this year?
*Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool - 30th anniversary edition. Includes lots of bonus tracks, for a total of 21 tracks from that era of cool. This has been out of print for some time. Order it from Yep Roc and get a free download of the album plus some bonus tracks! You get the download even if you get the vinyl! What a steal!
*The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride - This is one I've been super stoked on for some time. That John Darnielle, he's the real thing.
*KRS-One - Adventures In Emceein' - I'm not sure what this is exactly, but KRS-One is one of my favorite MCs and I'm pretty excited about it, whatever it is. Looks like a new album...

DVDs
*American Gangster - I've been waiting for this on DVD, because I was hearing mixed things about it so I didn't want to spend my hard earned money on it. But it's cool because it's a 2 disc collector's edition (for a decent price) and it has the director's cut. Ridley Scott!
*Michael Clayton - I just kinda considered this yet another George Clooney movie but you know, it's probably pretty good.
*Lust, Caution - Ang Lee is pretty cool, and this has a pretty sweet soundtrack...
*Margot at the Wedding - This was recommended to me, so...hurrah for Netflix?
and I've saved the best for last...
*Pierrot Le Fou - Godard + 1965 + Anna Karina = you can't go wrong. Everyone is in top form, and I believe Pierrot Le Fou is one of Godard's finest. Fun, provocative, thoughtful, challenging...I love it. So glad it has reached DVD.

So there you have it. Big week for me and for those with similar tastes to mine. I can't recommend Pierrot Le Fou or Jesus of Cool enough.
