I just got back from seeing Pan’s Labyrinth, and let me tell you – that movie is a total laugh riot! With all the brutality and bloodshed and death, it’s amazing anybody could leave the movie theater smiling. Oh, wait…I meant to type, “It’s the most depressing movie I’ve seen in ages.” I did laugh a lot watching Lindsey continually squirm through torture scenes. On a scale of ONE-to-BLOOD, I rate this movie BLOOD. It begged for the tagline, “A flood of blood bloodier than any blood bled before.”
Hey, Sunday Mix Tape!
RULES for the uninitiated noobs: I’ve got 100MB of webspace, and every week I birth a new compilation for your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is pushing on you these days. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) to see what sticks. Last week I threatened to devote an entire week to dance-inducing punk songs, and I was not far off in my forecast. The Jam, Wire, Squeeze, and Magazine? What am I, a DJ at a hipster club? Thankfully, I thew in some space rock and acoustic weirdness to even out the compilation. Also, please listen to the track by The Makes Nice. If you haven’t heard, one of the members of the black metal band Weakling is now writing 2-minute power-pop gems. So good! These songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
