NEW RELEASE: TAKEN

I think Taken looks totally boss.  It’s hovering around 60% fresh on rottentomatoes.com.  The general consensus on it is “…undeniably fun with slick action, but is largely a brainless exercise.”  Sounds good to me.  Count me in.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I bet this kid gets his ass kicked at school.  I’d kick it too if I lived in Scotland.

KITTENS ESCAPE FROM A CASTLE

Let me preface this by saying I don’t like cats (sorry Carter), but damn it if these kittens aren’t cute.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE: TRANSATLANTICISM

This morning I got Death Cab For Cutie tickets for their show in Nashville.  I’ve never seen them before, so I’m pretty excited.  I understand that they’re probably not as cool as they were 3 years ago but that doesn’t bother me.  I still like them.

I also can’t get this song out of my head.  “I need you so much closer”  – I love that line.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE: MY GIRLS

I’ve tried and tried not to post anything Animal Collective related, but I can no longer hold back.  Their new album Merriweather Post Pavilion is going to be the album to beat in 2009.  It’s really really good.

I’ve dipped my toes into the proverbial Animal Collective pool a couple of times now (Strawberry Jam and Feels), but just didn’t get it.  And to be honest on my first listen of MPP I didn’t get it either.  Three listens later I’m hooked.  Here’s the video for “My Girls”.  Please enjoy.

ZOMBIES AHEAD

A couple of days ago a hacker hacked into a road sign in Texas and changed it to read “Zombies Ahead”.  I’ve got to admit that’s pretty funny.  The Texas Department of Transportation should be glad they didn’t do something completely tasteless (I’ll spare you from the ideas I have).  To read the rest of the story click here.

YOU GOTTA PLEASURE YOURSELF ONCE A WEEK

Hard to believe this dude is talking about hamburgers.  I’m assuming he can’t go anywhere now without someone pointing and laughing.  Poor guy.
