Stuff of the Week

Song of the week: Little Red Corvette - Prince
     Prince doesn't really get the attention he deserves. He just gets this outcast vibe. It's truly unfortunate, because he's a great guitarist and songwriter. On top of that, 1999, the album that features this song is quite incredible, and worth listening to. Get the song on iTunes here.

Movie of the Week: Superbad
      I heard half of you grunt, and the rest of you laugh that I actually listed this. Funny enough, the movie is great. It's well photographed, acted, written and directed. Let's only hope that guys like Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and the hillarious Christopher Mintz-Plasse lead us into this next generation of comedy.

     During the last years of Cash's life, he did a series of recordings with legendary producer Rick Rubin Called the American Series. This is the best of the series. He is truly incredible. Haunting, but undeniably good. The album is mostly covers that range from Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" to Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". Check it out.
