April 7, 2008

Watching:
The Break-Up and Everything Is Illuminated. Both were time-killers because nothing else was on tv. The Break-Up is pretty much exactly what you'd think it would be. Mushy angry blah blah whatever. Everything Is Illuminated was a fantastic movie, with a spectacular soundtrack. My only complaint: Elijah Wood. I find him irritating generally, I think big stars ruin independent movies, and they could have gone with someone who looked a little more the part.

Reading:
Nothing. Yep, totally slacking off here.

Listening:
Laura Marling
Indie, simple/real, catchy, melodic, and absolutely the definition of 'cute as a button.'
"I've got this friend and he sounds just like him, and he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore like you."
Laura Marling - New Romantic
While you're at it, check out the videos for New Romantic and Ghosts. They have a beautiful simplicity that perfectly matches the music.
