MUSIC NOTES
- 3 \_/ releases in a row to start off the new year? Talk about foreboding
- Favorite 'new finds' of the month: KIP, The Gizmos, CJ Boyd, Beaulieu Porch, Happy Diving, The Muffs, Tensnake, GDP, Dan Mangan, BlackSmith, Three Man Cannon, Lee Corey Oswald, Todd Terje, Earth. Neneh Cherry, Wyatt Bryan, Pond, Breakbot, Hospitality, Bedemon, Robert Hood
- The first time I listened to that Anubis Gate album its like it didn't strike me at all but this time around, its pretty damn good
- I didn't even realize Foxy Shazam was still a band but here they are with a middle-of-the road new album
- "The Kids, They Are The Future."
- "Adore" is hella underrated still..."Behold! The Nitemare" is amongst the Pumpkins' best songs in my opinion
- That live Heats CD is goddamn AWESOME
- Damn I shouldn't have slept on Happy Diving for so long they really kick ass...Good call Kasey
- "Your Shadow" by Waterdown is so sweet-sounding but so creepy at the same time..."You cannot wipe me off of your shoulder"
- Worst of the month: Jah My, It Boys!, Causers, Icon For Hire, Absurd Tones, Diminish In Eternity,
- Goddamn that Avett Brothers album I listened to is SO much more boring than whatever I had heard before
- It's crazy how AC/DC can churn out literally the same album every couple years and somehow make it work
- Handguns are alright for fans of Set Your Goals, similar bands, etc. but there's nothing to them to set them apart
- I like that chick from The Agonist and its cool shes carrying on the name of Arch Enemy but she is no Angela Gossow. Not by a long shot.
- It should have gone without saying but that early-2000s Snoop Dogg album fuckin sucks
- I had never even heard of Dan Mangan before but his newest album (a collaboration with the band BlackSmith) is one of my favorites from last year
- What was I thinking listening to a Mike Pinto album? Just asking for mental anguish?
- I've listened to "I Get Wet" like a zillion times since I first heard it but this is the first time that "Girls Own Love" was the song that got stuck in my head...Similarly with "Parallel Lines," for some reason it was "I Know But I Don't Know" and "Sunday Girl" that got stuck today
- I wouldn't suggest listening to the entire UB40 Greatest Hits CD if you already find their 2 big hits somewhat annoying...it's just like an hour and a half of the same bullshit, over and over and over

MOVIE NOTES
- Between "Goldmember" and "Dumb and Dumber To" I feel like I saw the worst mainstream comedies every made this month...But I'm sure there are movies out there that could easily prove me wrong.
- That goddamn Cartoon Classics DVD is so goddamn long its like the longest single DVD we own...I think I watched nearly 2 hours of Popeye and then like an hour+ of Betty Boop and if you haven't rewatched or ever watched those old cartoons, many of them repeat themselves and it gets kinda annoying (especially the Betty Boop ones) but goddammit if Popeye The Sailor Man isn't an American hero...His nephews are fuckin brats tho
- I actually really enjoyed "Guardians Of The Galaxy" a lot, and in an unprecedented turn for almost any work of cinema, I kinda wanna watch it again soon. I Am Groot.
- Bad Brains really, really kicked ass live in their heyday.
- WOW. "King Kong" is so long but its like the ENTIRE TIME I was captivated...I always put off watching it because I knew in advance how ridiculously long it was but damn was it a payoff.
- I was really disappointed with "The Interview"...I mean there were some funny parts but goddamn James Franco was grating
- Believe it or not that was the first time I'd ever seen "Aliens"
- There's a lot of sexual tension going on between April O'Neil and Casey Jones in that old 90s TMNT movie that I didn't pick up on when I was a kid...Also Shredder get smashed in a goddamn trash compactor at the end that's pretty gnarly
- When "V For Vendetta" came out in high school I remember a bunch of people told me I'd probably really like it, and honestly high school me very well may have because I was so idealistic, but nowadays all I can see is a series of Aimed Wrenches...so many Wrenches....
- "Battle: Los Angeles" was by far the most boring-ass movie I watched all month and it's a goddamn action movie with explosions and aliens and shit...Troy and Miller and I ended up talking through most of the movie because it just couldn't hold our attention
