I’ve had plenty of time to consume this new solo effort from Jonsi, the lead singer of Sigur Ros, so I should be able to write a review that’s much less bias and full of hyperbole than if I had written it a month ago when I first listened to it. But before I begin, [...]

The Books’ new album The Way Out is released on Temporary Residence in July, and I absolutely can’t wait.  I may be strange to have a band like the Books as one of your all time favorites, but they definitely are for me.  The fact that everyone the band knows claims it to be [...]

Can’t wait.Infinite Arms comes out May 18th.The National – Afraid of Everyone [mp3]High Violet comes out May 10th on 4AD.

I’m not sure if this will actually work, but I randomly stumbled upon formspring and thought it might be an interesting way for you guys to ask me questions of all kinds. Music related or otherwise, that you think I might be able to help with, or questions about things you’ve always wondered about me. [...]

Shutter IslandThis was one of those movies where reading the book first actually ruined the movie experience a bit for me in the end. Scorcese does such a good job retelling the book both visually and in casting the parts, that the obvious feeling of knowing everything that’s to come creeps up and you almost [...]

In case you haven’t seen this video. Many people confused this guy, Merton, with Ben Folds. He does look quite a bit like him, has piano chops, and even sounds like him, but Ben Folds came out and said it wasn’t him. But being the awesome guy that Folds is, he played a live chatroulette [...]

Greenberg is the new film from Noah Baumbach (Squid and the Whale), starring Ben Stiller as a down on his luck forty-something guy looking to start over and reconnect with friends.  Of course, this being a Baumbach film, his luck doesn’t improve much on his journey and he gets humiliated time and time again.  The [...]

MGMT – Flash DeliriumNot sure what to think of this new offering from MGMT.  I don’t want to join the masses out there saying they’re trying to fit too many influences and styles into one song, but they’re definitely not wrong.  I’m used to dancing away to most songs on their last album, and this [...]
