  • Best of 2009: Songs

    Well I don’t think I have listened to much 2009 music, and I know there are a couple of albums that are still on my list of “want to listen” but I figured if I wasn’t rushing to get them, I wasn’t gonna fall madly in love with them.

    So here is my provisional list of best 2009 songs. I’m also planning a Best Songs of 2000-2009, but that’s gonna take wayyyyyyyy longer. At the moment I have pre-selected the songs from 2000-2006 which are nearly 500 songs. I need to listen to all of them and begin taking songs out. I’m pushing for a 100 songs list.

  • Sodagreen – Incomparable Beauty and More

    I have just fallen in love with a new song. Better yet!

    Lyrics live up to the expectation.

    Take a look at Sodagreen from their 2007 album

    Incomparable Beauty. Beautiful lyrics and instrumentation on the song.

    And this is Little Love Song.

    FYI, singer is a guy. But here he is doing a pretty rocking version of Toxic. LOL Now imagine him singing and 2001 Britney Spears performing to that music. Would be sweet.

    I love LOVE Incomparable Beauty. *sighs*

  • 1k Albums on LivingSocial!

    Congratulate me! I just added my 1k ‘have heard’ album to my FB app.
    Yay! And I’m so happy it was an album I liked a lot, and want to add to my
    personal collection~~~ Yay Sodagreen! Yay Chinese music!

    Only 6 more album listens, and I’ll be ready to name my best of 2009. xD

  • Work in Progress: Best Films of 2000-2009

    This is my “work in progress” list of Best of Films 2000-2009. Why a “work in progress”? Because there’s films I haven’t seen, and because there’s films not on the database.

    Best of 2000-2009

  • Where the Wild Things Are Gets Some Chicago Love~

    And the nominations and winners continue, this time with the Chicago Critics’ nominations (and tomorrow with the SAG nominations). It is a busy time.

    Leading the nominees with six is one of the many awards favorites, Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air. But hold on just a moment. It has a co-pilot. Also riding a wave of six nominations is Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are,

    …

    Joining both films in the Best Picture race from Chicago are Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (each with five nominations) and Joel & Ethan Coen’s A Serious Man with 4.

    some nice changes and surprises!
    check the nominees!

  • Full Cycle YAM – 007

    Congrats, Amy! You’ve made it a year!
    Now please, get to work on that website you’ve been talking about all this time.

    Yeah, where is Nate? Yeah, that. Nate and I are working on something else, which is nothing at the moment… just a random gig, which will hopefully fuel our bank accounts a bit and let us work on YAM fully for a month or two…

  • 15th Critics Choice Awards Nominations

    More nominations. Are you keeping up?

    These nominations seem like a pretty random bunch. Especially considering Nine has had little to no love until now… with 10 nominations (a big WEEEE for Marion!!), and also finally some love true for Inglourious Basterds~

    I doubt I will catch any more music videos by now, so here is my random list of best music videos in very random categories, because that’s what I do best, I think.

    I’m writing as I go, so if I don’t make any sense. Forgive.
