In Brightest Day

He gets to do all sorts of things to Scarlett Johansson and now he gets to take flight as Hal Jordan in a big screen adaptation of Green Lantern. I’m thinking he’ll be great as long as the script doesn’t rely too much on humor. Look for it in 2011.

Endless Possibilites

I was flipping through stations earlier and stopped at CMT. Now I admittedly do not care for country music. I will never understand why it’s so huge considering that the more popular artists venture into pop. BUt I was compelled to stop when I heard this song. The artist is Sierra Noble and the song is Possibility.

She’s Canadian made, born in Manitoba, and the song is one of the softest, sweetest songs I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t know much about her and she doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page yet. The song is very simple, lacks percussion of any kind and her voice is perfectly fragile. I got that caving in feeling inside when I heard the song and it reminds me of better times with better people. I hate these songs that create sentimentality but at the same time I’m always impressed by the ones that can do it. And this song does it almost better than any other I’ve ever heard. I’m hoping to hear big things from her someday soon. Highly recommended.

Can’t, Won’t, Don’t Stop

Captiol Records has announced that Ill Communcation by the Beastie Boys is getting a re-issue on July 14th. This album has a pretty special place in my heart as it was one of the albums I credit with my upbringing. I was in high school when this came out and I had the cassette tape. Later in life I actually bought the CD and even later in life I downloaded the album.

The re-release will feature two discs packed with extra tracks and there’s a special 90 dollar vinyl edition you can order at the Boys website but it’s only limited to 1500 copies so if you want that one order now. One of my top albums in my life and I suggest you pick up any edition when it comes out.

Beastie Boys – Sure Shot
Beastie Boys – Get it Together

Signed with Anaheim. 1 year. 3.25 million. This one stings but isn’t unexpected.
