"Loch Lomond"

In 2007, in Botanique (Brussels), I have seen "the Decemberist's" playing with "My Brightest Diamond" and "My Brightest Diamond" was dreadfully painful. The good news is that "Decemberist" found "Loch Lomond" afterwards because they toured with "the Decemberists" in late 2008.

Well, Loch Lomond describes its music as "sounding like birds, bears, blood banks, ticks, volcanoes, mountains, scabs, and lots of singing", which i find a description to be as close to reality as possible. A video of them for you to decide yourself "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuAWPLdV3H8".

Their latest album is yet to come next month in February.

True Panther Sounds

Glasser's sound of the second album does not really match the feeling its name, True Panther Sounds, suggests. Rather the beat is closer to being more monotone. Though the vocals have capturing twists in some parts. It suits me well when I have to focus on work I tend to avoid for some time, the monotone beat gets me to concentrate while the unexpected vocals keep me awake. "Apply" is somewhat ambitious, and is my favorite in the album, has versions for people who likes to listen to variations.

biutiful...

the most dramatic story I have watched in quite a long time. Makes you wonder what else could go wrong in Uxbal's life... (spoiler!) experiences death of the refugees, gets close to his father's corpse at the time he knows he will experience the same soon. still he does not want to leave behind his life, his son and daughter are the only strings that attach him to life, but they are so strong he still has a case to fight in his life. Inarritu has not been this tragic and has not shown the poverty in such a naked way in other movies. And no need to say Bardem displays a great act in this movie.

the only recommendation I would give would be, go and see the movie when you feel you can take up some misery on yourself..
