Quentin Tarantino is a damn genius...

I cannot even tell you how excited I am for this movie.

Pretty "Bird".

I spend an insane amount of time on music blogs and websites. I scour MySpace for new artists. On one of my hunts, I came across http://www.yellowbirdproject.com/ . This site sells tees designed by musicians. The profits from the shirts are donated to the artist's favorite charity. Cool, huh? I have the Bon Iver, Rilo Kiley, and The Shins (donations go to Interval House, Elliott Smith Memorial House, and Nature Conservancy, respectively) shirts thus far. The Shins tee is posted above. I actually purchased another Bon Iver tee, as well as The National's design for a friend. Check them out...

True Blood - Season 1 was released on DVD and BluRay today.

Season 2 airs on HBO June 14th at 9:00 pm EST.  

(I love the marketing for this show!)

New Music Tuesday...

Eminem

'Bout time...  Eminem's new CD Relapse dropped today.  Rejoice!!

Also, Tori Amos...  Abnormally Attracted to Sin.  So far, "That Guy," "Lady in Blue" and the title track are my favorites. 

Check them out on iTunes.  In the meantime, here are some older favorites...

Eminem (feat. Obie Trice, Stat Quo and 50 Cent) - Spend Some Time
Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

Tunes of the Day... The 80's edition.

What's Your Damage?

The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter
INXS - New Sensation
Georgia Satellites - Keep Your Hands To Yourself
Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself

Just a Friend...

This is the best commercial I have seen in years... I think Heineken has really raised the bar on beer commericials. And no, I don't drink Heineken. I actually don't drink at all.

(Oh, and for the record, I was 7 years old when Biz Markie dropped this song in '89. I feel REALLY old.)

Songs of the day...

Jenny Lewis

I am feeling unusually romantic. It's weird, because, sadly, I have no reason to feel this way. My love life is in the crapper. (When, oh when, are things going to work for me???) I don't know why I torture myself and listen to love songs... Oh, yes, I remember...I am a masochist.

Look for my singles ad soon...I have a feeling it will be similar to this (minus the "famous" shit):

Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony Profile from Lindsay Lohan

Funny shit, huh?

Jenny Lewis w/the Watson Twins - Handle with Care
Jenny Lewis w/the Watson Twins - Melt Your Heart
Rilo Kiley - I Never
Rilo Kiley - Science Vs. Romance

"Shame, shame for the rooster..."

The lovely Fiona Apple (with an apple!)

High five for these ladies.

Fiona Apple - Get Him Back

I don't think there is a woman alive that cannot relate to this song. It really has it all...catchy music, smart lyrics, and Fiona's raw emotion.

Tracy Bonham - Behind Every Good Woman

This song contains some of my favorite lyrics EVER. Tracy is a favorite of mine...and this is her best work (in my opinon).

Martha Wainwright - You Cheated Me

Ah...how I love Ms. Wainwright. I love the entire Wainwright clan, actually. This song is a lot more POP than her other work, but I love it all the same.

Song of the day...

Rilo Kiley - Breakin' Up
