Forecast


Summer time is around the bend and of course you're wondering "what will the song of the summer be?" All signs point to Boston's own Passion Pitt being this years MGMT (if they already aren't) and all ears will love their latest single "Little Secret" off the upcoming LP Manners. I don't want to put my reputaton on the line but I have a strong feeling this song will be the Indie Cross Over Can't Get Enough Of Then Can't Stand Because It's Everywhere Hit Of Summer 09.

The girl is awesome. The Dad is cool. The Mom is a total bitch.

Bill Simmons, Allaround Guy


EPSN's "Sportsguy" and New England native Bill Simmons is one of my favorite essayist. Though not considered by most in the same league as peers such as the Klosterman's and Sedaris’ of the world, he has offered a compelling, unique and transcendent approaches to sports journalism. I just came across one of his more recent articles describing silly but ingĂ©nues ways to subjectively determine the best actors of all time. It's a great read and indicative of why I like Simmons so much; he combines my love of sports and film and makes it all the same.

Here We Go

Watch this trailer linked here: Away We Go

Sam Mendes? Dave Eggers? A hand full of great actors? Too good to be true right?

I know this trailer is crushing with a certain sense of Garden State meets Juno stigma and if it wasn't for the pedigree involved my eyes would surely be rolling well into the back of my head. But let's play pretend. Let's pretend we don't know anything. We've never seen Garden State or Juno. We missed American Beauty ten years ago. Never got around to reading "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". Have never watched The (American) Office (we saw the British one though). We have never heard an Alexi Murdoch song and have never seen cutesy titling before.

Let imagine in this sovereign utopia you just saw this trailer, wouldn't you think it looks great?
