Halloween With The Electric President
Filed Under Music Mix Up | Leave a Comment
Sorry I have been so sparse lately, it has been hard finding the time or the energy to post… But my schedule is changing next week and it will allow me a bit more time in my day… I am looking forward to it, I have really missed blogging everyday, it is an outlet for me and we all need some sort of outlet. I will have more on that later but for now lets kick off the weekend shall we? What are your plans? Halloween party? And if you are dressing up you must tell what you have come up with.
Nothing special planned for me… I am just ready for the weekend, I plan to kick back and share a few drinks with the company of friends. Electric President have set the tone. Happy Halloween! Be safe.

Changeling
Filed Under Film Box | 4 Comments
I want you to see this film, but I need you to do some heavy lifting training first because Changeling requires it. If you go into this one out of shape, you’re going to sprain something that much I can guaranty. Most of us know the story by now. This Clint Eastwood helmed feature is a true story about a woman that lost her boy under mysterious circumstances. Calling on the LAPD to help was apparently her mistake, as the corruption and brutality she faces thanks to that department in the late 1920’s is truly a rage-inducing experience.
I give Jolie a hard time in most cases. She’s basically insane and her lips are crazy huge. She plays two characters really well: the bitch and the insane bitch. What she has done in this film, I really do have to give her credit for. Not only did she break out of her bitch (although it was appropriately channeled at certain points), but as an audience member I felt her pain as if she was my own mother.
Clint Eastwood is an amazing director. He effortlessly puts together a story that could easily feel like the History Channel, and gives us a film so gripping the two hours and twenty minutes flew by without being noticed. There are some amazing stories of human spirit and the pursuit of justice melded into the main arc. I went into this ignorant of the story as it happened and I was shocked and, well pissed off as it unfolded before me. Honestly I want to go back in time and start punching LAPD officers in the face.
By the end of the film, one that I will not dream of ruining, you cannot help but hope that what Christine Collins went through happened for a reason. As Rev. Gustav Briegleb says in the film, “..the Lord works in mysterious ways…”

I was a little hesitant to see this movie because of my utter disdain for Bush… It is Oliver Stone though so I thought I owed it to him to give it a chance. The movie itself was good, well done, most of the characters seemed right on, although I had some problems with the Actress who played Condoleezza Rice… I mean Rice is definitely Bush’s puppet but she isn’t stupid and the character just seemed dumb to me. (That may have been more of a glitch in the writing though, not sure)Â
It seemed a half hour too long, which is pretty characteristic of Stone’s films and I left the theatre feeling the same as I did when I walked into the theatre, which was disgust for the entire administration and the complete mess they have made of this country and the American name.

Take My Breath Away
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
It is all about the music tonight… Ray LaMontagne is a bit more popular than the usual suspects here at Untitled but this singer/songwriter is a must have. Gossip In The Grain is a solid third album, Meg White is a 60’s psychedelic rock anthem that took me by surprise, quite brilliant and not what you would expect from LaMontagne. It is an expressive beautiful album that has stopped me dead in my tracks and made me utter, “Damn”. Highly recommended.
p.s. Songs will only be available for a couple days, check out his myspace to stream samples.

For Now Just Sing For Me

It is quite a daunting task to re-install everything and try to get re-organized again… It sucks to be frank. I mean yeah my computer is running faster but my life is all over the place… To make matters worse I totally forgot about backing up my bookmarks! I just lost 6 years of my internet life… Devastating… Yes, I am being a tad over dramatic about the whole wiping of the computer thing but I had a ton of bookmarks and there were memories in those bookmarks… Most of all I miss the way everything was set up like the way Firefox, Songbird and Photoshop were nicely organized just the way I liked them… All of that is gone out the window and I have to try to get it back. Help me!
So I sit here tonight listening to the new teaser from Antony and the Johnsons entitled Another World. A five track sampler of the full length, The Crying Light, set to be released January 09. Another World is a beautiful EP that has totally sparked my interest in the new album. Relax and enjoy.

Clean Slate
Filed Under News & Info. | 3 Comments
So I was really naughty this weekend and didn’t do any work to my computer. My plan was that I would work on it on Sunday but I was so tired from the night before (went to a fancy wedding and had too much champagne) that I totally vegged all day and did nothing of any substance.
Anyways I am backing up all the goods tonight and will be wiping the slate clean tomorrow. I will be back with new music either tomorrow night or Wednesday night. Antony and The Johnsons and much more soon to come. I do apologize for being such a lazy ass, but I do appreciate that you guys still love me!
I just hope I have everything backed up and nothing goes terribly wrong… Such a pain in the ass but this is long over due. My laptop keeps crashing every time I post and it is just ridiculous. Hopefully all of this will be solved. Good night

I didn’t think it could get any worse under this administration… And then this happened.
