GET IT TODAY!

Rolling Stone Has come out with their review on The Killers latest album Day & Age . GoEasy & read it, then buy the album.

Like their hometown of Las Vegas, the Killers have a flair for anything supersize, sparkly and over-the-top: soaring synth-pop operas, multipart arena-rock anthems, “Bohemian Rhapsody”-style choirs. So it makes sense that, after 2006’s massively ambitious Sam’s Town, their third studio album expands their scope even further, adding subtle world-music accents to their glittery New Wave anthems — fitting for a band bent on international megastardom. Produced by dance maven Stuart Price, Day & Age broadens the Killers’ sound with dub-inflected grooves (”Joyride”), Caribbean-style steel drums (”I Can’t Stay”) and a chanted intro that recalls South Africa’s Lady­smith Black Mambazo (”This Is Your Life”) — though it’s performed by the band itself.

When the Killers really push the theatrics, they shine: “Spaceman” re-imagines New Order’s “Temptation” as an alien-abduction anthem with a great singalong chorus. And the rousing “A Dustland Fairytale” moves from somber pianos to an orchestral conclusion so epic, you half-expect some kind of fairy godmother to swoop in and save singer Brandon Flowers. Too bad all that drama sometimes weighs down Flowers — he’s developed quite a persecution complex. “Run and tell your friends I’m losing touch,” he scoffs on “Losing Touch,” and by “Neon Tiger” he’s giving himself pep talks: “They’ll strategize and name you/But don’t you let them tame you!” Relax, dude. With imagination like this, you’re doing fine.

Great Movie

Not long ago I saw this movie Flashbacks of a Fool. It stars Daniel Craig, Jodhi May and Claire Forlani. It’s a movie that traps you into asking, what if? Now, I’m not a die hard fan of 007 or Daniel Craig, but I felt that his performance as a Nostalgic coke addict, mourning over the death of his childhood friend, and the emptiness of his hollywood life was … endearing.

Well,

go see it and let me know what you think.

“Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning”

Great article by Gail Collins for The New York Times Op/Ed section. Definately worth a read:  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/22/opinion/22collins.html?_r=3

Can I see a show of hands? How many people want George W. out and Barack in?

I couldn’t agree more and it is about time FOR SURE. If at least not resign, Bush should have been impeached a long time ago. There are so many problems with his administration that I will contain myself for fear of fingertip preservation.

A great many Americans have been counting the days all year on their 2008 George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown calendars.

Would Obama even be ready ahead of time? We have so many more problems now then ever before. The consequences could be disastrous in the least. We should all start considering our collective futures as entrusted in the hands of Barack and HOPE that he can get it done.

I hope that he can make his claims a reality, and not let them sit in the realm of Hopes and Dreams.
