Shane MacGowan and the Pogues
I watched If I Should Fall from Grace: The Shane MacGowan Story tonite and it made me all jazzed up to listen to some more Pogues. But I realized that all my Pogues music was on cassette! Never Fear! I downloaded "If I Should Fall From Grace with God" from iTunes and am now fully satiated.

Barney vs. Tupac
It looks like this has been around a while, but I just saw it for the first time. I found it via this website for old folks like us who don't catch all the hot memes: http://www.youshouldhaveseenthis.com/

Oscars!
Since the Academy Awards are on tonight, I thought I'd weigh on on my vote for Best Picture of the year. We went and saw "Let The Right One In" for the second time last night. The Riverview Theater has been playing it at 11:30pm on weekends the last few weeks, and this movie was just as great the second time as the first. It's a hard thing to say, but I think I liked it better than either "Iron Man" or "The Dark Knight", which would be my runners up. What do you guys think?

Amen to This Guy; A Defense of Grant Morrison
I don't know if you boys read any of Grant Morrison's epic summer blockbuster for DC, Final Crisis, but I thought it was AMAZING. As it finished and I had time to reflect, I think it might be one of my favorite comic runs of all time. Despite its flaws (and it did have flaws,) its hard to imagine another comic book that could match the level of quality, ambition, and poetry of this series. I should be specific - I bought some of the related cross-overs (and enjoyed them too) - but I'm really referring here to issues Final Crisis 1-7 and Superman Beyond 1&2 in my gushing praise. If you haven't read it, it's likely you missed the overwhelming backlash and vitriol ALL OVER the internet about this story and Grant Morrison himself (for the past eight months-or-so). That being said by way of introduction, I just have to give it up to Brandon Thomas at Newsarama for writing this:

That's all. Carry on. Cheerio.

Thorns of Life (Live)
The fine lads over at Murmur.com posted a few clips of this Thorns of Life show from a couple days ago. Its the new band featuring Blake Schwarzenbach and Aaron Cometbus. The quality isn't too bad - they sound great. I might need to check these guys out a bit more if I'm feeling nostalgic for Jawbreaker.
