Appallingly Bad Taste

I actually meant to write about this awhile ago but I just thought I would share with the world what a truly terrible taste in movies I have. See ExhibitA:


That's right I like the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Sure, when we were kids watching Alvin was great, we thought it was hilarious. And The Chipmunk Adventure, awesome. Who wouldn't love a crazy hot-air balloon race around the world which was really an evil plot by a bunch of diamond smugglers? Plus there was singing. But I'm a 25 year old there is no reason for me to love the new movie (and watch it twice in the last week) and yet I do.

Anywho...That's all the sharing I think I can handle right now.

The Frames

This past weekend, I finally got the opportunity to watch the movie Once. After hearing a lot of good things about it, I couldn't wait to see it. Let me tell you, not a disappointment at all. Although not your typical "musical" with huge dance numbers and over the top songs, it was still beautiful and enjoyable.

While cruising around the interwebs afterwards, I discovered that Glen Hansard had a band known as The Frames. On kind of a whim I downloaded their most recent album, The Cost. Two of the songs were previously recorded as part of the movie soundtrack ("Falling Slowly" and "When Your Mind's Made Up") but the versions on this album where just as fantastic and the rest of the album is just as good as I expected. All I have to figure out now is which of their albums I want to download next.
