the big 7-0.
My dad turns 70 today. You’d never guess it if you met him. He and my mom always had that goin’ for them. I hope I’m the same when I get to that point in my life. Of course I still get that “what’s this kid trying to pull” look whenever I buy [...]

1. Amos Lee – “Arms Of A Woman”: Some slow soulful depressing music. Good stuff.
2. Marvin Gaye – “Right On”: Some upbeat soulful uplifting music. Good stuff.
3. Foreigner – “I Want To Know What Love Is”: After listening to this song about five times today, I realize that I only like the first minute. So [...]

I like this band alright. They’ve got some talent. They sound a lot like a more mellow Incubus. The use of guitars and electronics along with a interesting beats gives Minus The Bear their sound. Honestly it gets kindof boring after [...]

Acually one of my favorite albums ever. Good mix of acoustic and rock. From what I hear he plays all the instruments when he records but I’m not positive. He’s a great songwriter. Good mix of slow and fast, [...]

Combine this one with last week’s album of the day, Chris Garneau, and you’ll have one good ol’ depressing day. Nah I like em both. This one is a little more cheery than Mr. Garneau. I don’t know if this chick’s name [...]

pru-review: Bella
Starring: Eduardo Varástegui, Tammy Blanchard
I saw this preview a while back and all I remembered was the name, “Bella”. Something in that preview burned that title into my memory. It didn’t play at any local theaters, and it was “Coming Soon” on Blockbuster forever. Finally I saw it there the other day. Rented finally. Unlike [...]
