Stuff of the Week

Record of the Week: My Girl - The Temptations
This song is absolutely an undebatable classic. Truly a beautiful Motown tune with beatiful melody and harmony. And there's something truly joyous about such a happy song. There isn't anything else I want to say, except "CHECK IT OUT!"

Movie of the Week: Up
It is probably too early to say, but I already think this is going to be the best movie of the year. It's truly a beautiful movie. The visuals are absolutely stunning, as per usual on Pixar's films. The script is perfect. It's absolutely heartfelt and complex emotionally, but keeps itself relevant to kids. The voice of Ed Asner alone is such a great contribution to the overall perspective this movie has. Most importantly, it's an adventure movie. That's a type of movie that hasn't really been done well in decades. This movie is absolutely incredible. Go see it in theaters while you can!

Album of the week: Poses - Rufus Wainwright
It's interesting about this album. It's extremely refreshing. The lyrics are funny and contemporary. With songs like "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" it would be hard to deny a proper intelligence, if not a good sense of humor. The album is not trying to be anything, it's pretty catchy and full of emotion. It's worth the listen. I promise.
