February 23rd, 2009

As has probably been noticed, there was no content over the weekend; no week in review or editorial. There's enough non-2009 stuff I'm writing essays about that I just don't have the time to analyze my week right now. I will try and do something special at the end of the month.

MUSIC:

The new Pheonix MP3 surprises me with its rhythm, which I like. It's also a shit-fun dance bit.

Vampire Weekend + Miike Snow evidently = massive giddy fun.

Once again, The Lipster provides DiS with a singles rundown. They're spot on with Lissy Trullie, and the Glasvegas video is ace, but I'm not so in love with the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs single.

If you aren't up on the whole Last.fm debacle, an unsourced article was claiming that Last.fm gave all its info to the RIAA. Apparently, the article was a sham, and not only is Last.fm innocent, it's handling the whole thing pretty well.

Pavement = back together? Lost Beatles tape = surface? Dying now = acceptable?

Fader says this best: "Jamaican Government Bans Jamaican Music on Jamaican Radio (Basically)"

FILM:

Slumdog won big, y'all.

AICN has a new Watchmen clip. Cue feverish debate.

If you missed the Oscars, don't stress. /Film hooks you up with the Pineapple Express bit and some of the good speeches, significant in that order. I would recommend youtubing both wins for Milk. They're both very special.

Agora looks fun.

WEIRD:

Oh Seacrest, when haven't you been a piece of crap? Also from /Film, David Lynch is great.

WORLD:

The BBC reports on North Korea's plans to launch a satellite.

PERSONAL:

Today has been a really good day! I got pretty minimal sleep last night, but I felt pretty good all day; now I just need to know enough not to attempt repeating the trick.

Oh, and I'm upping the .5 of a film to a film, because I read Soderbergh saying it was standalone.

2009 FILMS SEEN: 4
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 426
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, enjoying all the movie title puns.
