here are a few oldies we still spent time listening to
Donovan- Open Road
Kate Bush- Hounds of Love

Listen to those fuckers and you'll feel drunker than an Irish Man on his wedding day! we promise.
There is more to life than music though. Kevin Bacon said that, and we all agree with him. So here are some fave movies that are worth bustin out at blockbuster.
Brick
Science of Sleep
Lunacy
An Inconvenient Truth
Nacho Libre
Snakes on a Plane
The Departed
Borat
That should be a comprehensive enough list. As far as books go, no one ever really knows when it came out, so here are some we read and want to tell you... they are good!
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Women by Charles Bukowski
Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie
Full Metal Jacket Diary by Matthew Modine
Armed Forces by Franklin Bruno
The Code Book by Simon Singh
So thats the basics. Tomorrow I'll post some more exciting favorites. You Tube videos, friends made, senators... all that good stuff. If 2007 is going to be a good year for this blog, we better space it out a bit.
ps- look for the first couple episodes of Treasure of the Cisne to come out in the next couple weeks!
