Stuff of the Week

Song of the Week: Carnival Town - Norah Jones
Norah Jones is incredible. This song is beautifully written and arranged. The Lyrics are perfect. Simple, and mellow. This is a great Pop/Jazz song. It's simplistic sound makes it even better. With only a piano, guitar, two string instruments, bass and vocals, the song holds together very very well.

Movie of the Week: The Usual Suspects
This is the movie that gave director Bryan Singer the credit he deserved. The actors are all very good at acting their specific roles. The Script, while needed some acting to support it, had very good dialogue and plot line. This is one of Singer's best, one of Spacey's best, and certainly one of McQuarrie's best.

Album of the week: The Joshua Tree - U2
The Joshua Tree is Brian Eno's third album with U2, and probably their most popular and critically acclaimed album. This album goes to show that great, simplistic melodies and chord progressions can bring you far with good lyricism, and incredible production can truly bring you very far.
