release date just announced for this--June 10th.

hell. yes.

no exaggeration, "Carry Me Ohio" is in my top 10 favourite songs of all time. can never get enough of it.

man, i gotta make the trip back to van for that show.

oh, welcome in...

WE ARE BARBARIANS

van

vancity.

i'm selling my soul for tickets.

the new song is gorgeous. so excited for this disc.

still don't understand how you got 12 stars in an hour. that doesn't make any sense to me...

but yeah, the game rocks.

i don't know if i could ever peg this down to a single song.

couldn't stand her at first, grew to like her a fair bit. the main reason i like her is because i still can't figure out whether to root for her or not.

haha, so true. movie was such a trainwreck though. dear lord.

the one concern i have about this franchise is how they introduce villains and how many they introduce at once--i really hope they pace themselves and allow for proper development of characters backstories, leading up to their transformation into villains. especially two-face, riddler, etc. i mean, i'm not a huge comic book buff at ALL, but i have a general awareness of characters and plotlines. and when you have legendary villains like venom finally introduced (in spiderman 3), only to be given lip service and then a hasty demise, it's frustrating.

no juliet in the trailer? or was i not paying attention?

the arrested development reference in the pussy pirates bio cracked me up.

THERE'S THINGS THAT WE ALL NEED TO NAVIGATE

can't get enough of this. the beauty of "no need to cry"-->"open the door" is multiplied exponentially by everything that comes before it...

yeah, that's the one. didn't realize it was being shown in theatres.

season 4 trailer just came out the other day too...real quick, only about 30 seconds, and it's so jam-packed with quick cuts that it's hard to tell what you're looking at. anyway, i'll see if i can dig up a link, ABC might've taken it off of youtube already.

man, i hate clowns. this movie is not going to help matters

i was a little unsure what to think when i heard they were relaunching the batman franchise, although with nolan at the helm i wasn't too concerned. "batman begins" exceeded my expectations, and this...well, it's safe to say that "the dark knight" is the only comic book movie that i've ever been highly anticipating for a year in advance of release. it's the only comic book movie that i've EVER been this excited about. extremely high hopes about this.

and the trailer didn't even show aaron eckhart! i keep on forgetting that this movie will introduce two-face as well...it's gonna be good. real good.

edit: and i just checked out whysoserious.com...all those pictures of clowns in different cities!? i will have a heart attack if i start seeing that around town.

yeah, i'm not getting any nicholson vibes from the trailer.

and ledger's joker is 10,000 times creepier than nicholson's. holy crap.

i've had doubts during certain points--mainly the middle third of season 2 which was so dull, and then the start of season 3 when they had that arc of 6 episodes in the fall--but the balance of season 3 really restored my faith in the show. especially the finale, which i still consider to be one of the best twists in television ever. and i agree that a set point will only help them keep on track and tighten things up.

january 31st can't come soon enough.

the producers likened the cliffhanger at the end of episode 8 to when michael shot ana-lucia and libby.

last track wouldn't bug me so much if it was 2-3 minutes shorter, it's pretty much dead air until the organ powers up.

anyone else notice that the ambient organ melody during We Close Our Eyes (which is sort of a weird reprise of All In It) is basically the same as the Office theme song?

someone mentioned this on another msg board, and now the song's been pretty much ruined for me...i was listening to it on the bus yesterday and almost started laughing out loud when the organ kicked in.

just keeps getting better with every listen

All My Friends--LCD

The Temptation of Adam--Josh Ritter

Fake Empire--National

Mending of the Gown--Sunset Rubdown

Impossible Germany--Wilco

By no means my definitive list, but I don't have my music library here with me and those are the first ones that come to mind. And there are about 30 other songs that could've just as easily made that list.

i'd say animal collective is pretty out there for a 14-yr-old...

the key lesson learned from all this:

don't. date. girls you met. at the bar.
