Hey, gang. Missed you.I guess I was having the same frustrations with this site that a lot of other people experienced, and when I managed to get back on it a couple weeks ago, I noticed a lot of new avatars, with a picture of a rodent of some sort and a notice of a strike, demanding more reliable cooperation from whatever software governs this thing. I didn't go through the hassle of actuall...

like millions of americans over the fourth of july holiday, i took in a good old summertime blockbuster popcorn flick, superman returns. i enjoyed it quite a bit -- i thought it had a lot of heart, was well-directed, the casting was great, the effects were superb, etc. etc. even if you haven't seen it, you probably are aware that the director (bryan singer) chose to use the classic john willi...

As Harrison Ford prepares to put on the snap brim fedora and whip for "Indy 4," I recall looking for the original march from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." I found this collection, which takes one from "The Sugarland Express" to "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade." I find it interesting that even when the movie wasn't exactly memorable, the music certainly was. (The march from "1941," for instance...

This has got to be one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard. I haven't seen the movie yet, but now I really want to.Next up is the 2 disc Babel soundtrack. It's got several tracks by Gustavo Santaolla, so I'm sure I'll love it. Again, I have yet to see the movie. So many exams, so little fun time. :(It's strange listening to these songs before seeing the films. I almost never...

People really got excited for a new Star Wars movie. Lines around the block - it was an unprecedented event. Now, while there is still quite a bit of excitement for the upcoming Clone Wars movie, set to be released tomorrow, it's not quite the same.I'm not expecting something overly spectacular or deep, nothing that is likely to affect me in quite the same way that seeing the films for the firs...

After a month long sojourn in rural New Jersey (holla, Freehold!), I'm back to the old blogamawhosits world, and frankly I'm feeling a little left behind. That internet moves fast, I tell ya, and you have to be on top of the latest meme or you'll seem, you know, UNcool. So I spent the whole day today catching up on blogs, news, sudden underground phenomenons, and sarcastic nasty commentaries -...

Not too many people are willing to call out Pitchfork Media anymore. The line I hear is "it's crap, but it's unavoidable" (um really, it's not like there aren't thousands of other sites you can rely upon for music knowledge). Jim DeRogatis has been one of the few to continuously call Pitchfork out (his interview with Ryan Schreiber lifted him to hero status in my mind), and he's back at it agai...

In theory, I should hate a band that has adopted the gimmick of being completely Star Wars-themed, but I’m a Star Wars dork and have enjoyed Buckethead’s renditions of John Williams’ awesome score many times in the past. So I’m gonna give a free pass to the UK’s Anchorhead, who not only do metal versions [...]
