Excellent Movie:

Yugoslavian romantic screwball comedy, Black Cat White Cat.
a great review with a lot of info on the music is here

Good for fans of fairytale, diaspora, Roma culture and music, Gilliam, Guy Ritchie, steampunk (yes I said it!), rascally old men, true love, and nonstop weirdness.

Totally great.


Excellent Record:

I'm halfway through the new TV on the Radio album, Dear Science, and already have to write a review of it. Awesome, weird, complex and affecting. It's almost impossible to write about, since they really defy description. Singer Tunde Adebimpe's voice is stretchy and resonant and impassioned. Sometimes he reminds me of Joan Armatrading.


here is a video from their first album, that got me hooked on them. I include it because the video is very worth watching. The singer is made up of the visual representation of his own voice, which changes and refracts as he sings. Cool.
It also shows how Adebimpe moves when he preforms in concert (I have seen them twice I think. Thanks to Jordan, who got me into them when they only had an ep out and no one knew about them.)
