The Sun Hits the Sky

Album listened to this afternoon:
The Promise Ring Very Emergency

I was wearing sunglasses (part of the sky was sunny) and had an umbrella in my hand (the rest of the sky was dark and cloudy) while walking back inside. A cold front is coming in. Next week's high will be 70.

Holding off on buying the Franz Ferdinand record? Wait until November 23rd. Read why here.

Driving home last night, I listened to a record I hadn't listened to in a while: Supergrass' In It For the Money. I think it's still great. I'm curious about their new best of CD and DVD. The DVD looks very appealing. I still need to pick up I Should Coco not just for "Alright" and "Caught by the Fuzz" but also for "She's So Loose." I'm holding off because I think there may be a reissue forthcoming (seeing as how so many 10-year-old records are getting the treatment).

They're now giving gold and platinum awards for purchased downloads. Read all about it here.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
