Michele Gondry's (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) next film looks like another winner.

Jack Black and Mos Def - nice!

unfiltered singing

I had a paragraph written on the vocal and lyrical talents of Ray Lamontagne and promptly deleted it knowing that this does the job just as well:


This man can sing.
I'm not talking Michael Buble or Josh Groban sing, I'm talking about words of pain and hope from the heart, so real, to convince you he's been in the deepest of deeps of suffering yet still manages to see the beauty in life type of sing.

ok. enough of that.
have a listen.

let me know what you think on aim, in person, on facebook - if the response is positive, I'll post some more :]

O'Hare

I'm going to Chicago this Friday O_O
Can't wait to see my nephew & niece :]

I'll see you all when I get back

new music

I've had Oren Lavie on my sticky of music to check out for a couple of months now. I've heard his new and first album "Opposite Side of the Sea" and can only say that I'm super dismayed that the album hasn't been released state-side and doesn't seem like it will ever be for now. Luckily, iTunes had it - much better alternative to paying $30.00 to import it in from the UK, right?



Oren Lavie apparently grew up in Israel and has traveled around the world since.
"In 2001 Oren Lavie moved to New York where he tried to make a living by means of various jobs and where he focused on writing songs. When they had piled up he went to Berlin (2003) and started to do recordings, working as his own producer. His first album, "The Opposite Side of the Sea", was completed in 2006; it was released in Europe January and February 2007." - wikipedia.com
