tuesday tomorrow

for me personally, it's a pretty big-deal tuesday tomorrow!

audially:

elvis costello & the imposters - momofuku - this is only available on vinyl and digital, at least for 2 weeks.  then the cd comes out.  you can read about it here, but to sum it up: jenny lewis sings harmony on numerous tracks.  one song was co-written with roseanne cash.  one song was co-written with loretta lynn.  so i guess it looks pretty country.  lots of steel guitars and stuff.  i have absolutely no problem with this direction.

el perro del mar - from the valley to the stars - i don't know much about this one but i loved her debut so much.  so...very excited.  this would easily be my top release of the week if it weren't for elvis costello.

flight of the conchords - flight of the conchords - yeah, they are pretty funny, aren't they?

atmosphere - when life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold - eventually i'll probably want to get this.  i do quite enjoy their free album they gave out around christmas time.

carole king - tapestry (legacy edition) - it's got a bonus disc with live versions of all the tracks, in their album sequential order.  seriously one of the greatest albums ever.  but i own two versions already (vinyl & cd) so i probably don't need a third.

otis redding - otis blue: otis redding sings soul (collector's edition) - strangely enough, i just got this album from the library, not even knowing this was coming out all special style tomorrow.  i don't know how necessary this version is unless you're obsessed, because it looks like it's all just different mixes and takes of the same songs.

lyrics born - everywhere at once - gotta love the quannum projects!

visially:

The Savages - i already wrote about this once, but let me reiterate: laura linney and philip seymour hoffman are two of my very favorite actors.  and they are both brilliant in this movie.

Charlie Wilson's War - speaking of philip seymour hoffman, i really want to see this one.  that's what netflix is for, right?

Cloverfield - i think some people that couldn't "appreciate" the shaky handicam footage on the big screen may prefer the home video version, which probably cuts the puke probability in half!

Death of a Cyclist - i saw this one in my spanish cinema class.  absolutely brilliant look at spain through the eyes of a young anna torrent.

there are also lots of classics out this week.  explore if you so desire.
