Friday Random Ten

My New Year's Resolution is to see more live music. But here's some of the taped variety:

The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get - Morrissey
Sol (Batucada) - Kinky
Lion's Jaws - Neko Case
Tryin' To Breathe - Dilated Peoples
Readymade - Beck
Vive Le Week-end - Stereo Total
Mama & Papa - Supergrass
The New Workout Plan - Kanye West
Mean Ole Frisco - B.B. King
Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy - Glen Hansard

Just to break off of that last song, Once is certainly in the top 5 best movies I've seen this year, and maybe the best. It's an absolute gem, a small film in the best sense of the word, a paean to the power of creating art.
