What I love is that he points out that photographers, those skilled in the art of capturing a moment are the superheroes in this. So true, it's not easy to tell a story in 1 or 2 images true photographers can and this is just an extension!

Most of you who know me know that for me to stay up this late is rather a big deal, therefore I share with you all one of the songs that has been spinning in my head, Les Savy Fav's "Sleepless in Silverlake." Also just went to a show and saw The Lonely Trees I highly recommend them as well.

Some of the most fascinating highlights are:

Was reading up on Dragonette on the blog forthebeat, which I highly recommend and they have a Fabian remix which I have yet to find anywhere so I'll embed the original song. Original or remixed, it's certainly worth the listen.

Which is, thankfully part of what I should be doing anyway so I don't feel too terrible about it. Also, watching films in the NY/NJ area is much cheaper than LA, I paid 7, yes 7 dollars to see Despicable Me this week. Unheard of in most places. I enjoyed the film, though I was hoping for a few more laughs, but sadly the theater was rather emptyNotorius V-I-Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02260591856268009140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870260138048759130.post-57033710741753612602010-07-22T14:24:00.000-07:002010-07-22T14:24:58.145-07:00The Fish Are Not AlrightI have the honor of being mildy connected to the talented writer Paul Greenberg who just finished writing an insightful and well thought out book about fish, well 4 species to be exact: Tuna, Salmon, Bass and Cod.

Gaslight Anthem and Broken Bells:
The Gaslight Anthem continues to draw me in. Hailing from New Brunswick, NJ (What Up Rutgers) these guys keep making off beat tunes that can appeal to a wide audience. I admit they have a sound that's addictive, and have gotten a lot of play of late, but I continue to love their tunes.
