Currently on my iPhone (Like you care.)

March 16th, 2009

A list of the artists currently on my iPhone.  No, you don’t care.  No, this is not a comprehensive methodology for examining my psyche based on my listening preferences.

Look them up if you haven’t heard of them though.  There’s something here for most.

The Basement Boys
The Decemberists
Devotchka
Everlast
Gotan Project
Jedi Mind Tricks
Jem
MC Chris
Panic! At the Disco
Silversun Pickups
Third Eye Blind
Verve Pipe
Weezer
Zero 7

“Across the Universe” Soundtrack

Tons of stuff from AdultSwim…Because they actually know what hiphop is, and that it’s not just gangsta rap.

Hardcore Piano from the TED Talks

March 7th, 2009

Tell me that this isn’t hot — hot jazz that is.  Hot as in seriously hardcore and innovative piano playing.  I’m fairly sure that contemporaries of the piano’s inception didn’t have this in mind.

Amy Lee
(Evanescence) probably didn’t either, for that matter.

Dual Deeds

March 7th, 2009

File this one under things I did not know, but am now privy to, thanks to Netflix:

2002: Mr. Deeds


1936: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

That’s right.  Mr. Deeds was a remake of a classic.  A Frank Capra classic of all things.  Mr. Frank “It’s a Wonderful Life” Capra.

I was almost as shocked as when I learned that Bob Barker is an accomplished martial artist, holding belts in multiple disciplines including a black in karate, and could have laid even more of a beating on Happy Gilmore.
