1. TheSixtyOne

I&#8217;ve only just started using this site today, but I already love it. Think Pandora + Digg + XBox LIVE + Virb + VH1 Pop-up Videos. Here&#8217;s the process. The whole idea is that musicians upload songs to the site, and listeners vote on [...]]]></description>

Sarah, Matt, Allen, and I got around to seeing the new film by Tarsem, &#8220;The Fall,&#8221; last Saturday. It definitely deserves a post. The story takes place in a hospital in LA in the 1930s, and centers around a stunt-double who&#8217;s broken his legs and who tells an epic story to an adorable foreign girl [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s rare that I watch a pilot episode of a new show on television. In fact, it&#8217;s rare that I watch TV at all; I much prefer downloading videos off of iTunes or getting the season DVDs (I&#8217;ve actually never seen an episode of &#8220;Lost&#8221; on TV).

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just discovered the best show ever! It only ran for 6 episodes on the BBC back in 2004, but it&#8217;s this hilarious spoof of 1980s sci-fi / horror shows, sort of like Quantum Leap or Dr. Who. It&#8217;s intentionally low-fi, with awful acting and writing, but in a brilliant way.
You can watch the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard about Pitchfork Media awhile ago, but only recently have read some of their articles. I wasn&#8217;t really shocked or impressed in either direction: their reviews were either nose-in-the-air music snobbery or somewhat witty essay-ettes. But then - then I came across this sparkling gem of a review. It&#8217;s for Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;Kid A.&#8221; The [...]]]></description>

The gist of the post is that these people are making gross assumptions of what &#8220;works better&#8221; on Web sites based on what really just amounts to people&#8217;s surfing habits. An [...]]]></description>

Muse, &#8220;Black Holes &#038; Revelations&#8221;
Really good! More accessible and than Absolution, and also more fun, funky, and hard rock. Highly recommended. 8.5/10
The Weepies, &#8220;Say I Am You&#8221;

On Friday I went to the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and saw The Rocket Summer, along with three opening bands.

Sufjan Stevens, &#8220;Greetings from Michigan&#8221;
Absolutely wonderful music. Iron &#038; Wine mixed with the Polyphonic Spree, maybe? By turns haunting, silly, cheerful, hopeful, and poignant. My favorite tracks are &#8220;Holland,&#8221; &#8220;Romulus,&#8221; and &#8220;Vito&#8217;s Ordination Song.&#8221; He&#8217;s evidently a Christian, but very subtle about weaving [...]]]></description>
