I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
I have been listening to A HERO COMES HOME, the end credits song from BEOWULF (2007). Much like the film, it's under appreciated. It's a tad cheesy, but very listenable IMHO
I have been rocking Plan B's Defamation of Strickland Banks album all weekend. I heard and bought She Said nearly a year ago, but something made me download the entire albumn.
Actually, the song "owning" me right now exists only in my head...
Got on the metro this morning, and this was on my mp3 player:
When I sat down, I was opposite a pleasant-looking black woman who looked to be in her 40's. She had a kind of thin smile on her face, and looked around at me and the other passengers... and then, in a very low, matter-of-fact tone, she began telling us all that we were Satan-worshippers, going to hell, the Whore of Babylon walks the streets, etc. And since my headphones aren't turned up that loud, it all came through very clearly over the music, almost rhythmically. Went on for a good five minutes, till she got off.

I can't believe that after all these many times I've heard this song only today I've sat and really listened to it. It makes me feel so weird. It's creepy how much he nails obsession, at least as I have experienced it.
Both from albums that are good (or great, in the case of The Ruby Suns) as a whole, but these are the tracks I find myself playing daily at the moment.
This has been running in my head on more-or-less constant loop for about three weeks now. I'm beginning to suspect it will never stop, but I'm not convinced I want it to.
These two have been dominating my ears for a few days. A friend of mine asked me how does it feel like to have a daughter. That conversation led to this:
