Joseph Gordon-Levitt Sings! And well!

Jane's Addiction & Studying

     Jane's Addiction are blowing my mind right now with their spectacular new album The Great Escape Artist. Pretty sure I'll be playing this every day for awhile. I'm listening to it on Spotify, which is where I've been testing and trendspotting all my new music lately. This one's good enough for a download purchase though. It's kind of dreamy and ethereal. I admit, my experience with this band ended with "Been Caught Stealing" back in the 90s, so I have no clue as to whether or not this album is a departure or in sync with their usual stuff. I get really excited when I get excellent new albums from actual rock stars.


     I realize I need to get serious about my class work. My attention is divided into so many factions right now, and I tend to compartmentalize or I wont ever get anything finished. I have already wasted so much time today on random web surfing and following various bunny-trails but I tell you: I must study!


     Okay, got that off my chest, and now I will get some lunch and settle down to study all about Martin Luther's Revolt.
Ciao!

I'm obsessed with this song! It runs through my head all day & I love it!

These guys prove good music doesn't need stunts and hype to make people feel...

Obsessions! (February)

The latest album by My Chemical Romance has me obsessed. I can't stop playing it. My favorite track on it is the retro-sounding Bulletproof Heart. This record is a concept album, somewhat in the style of Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown or American Idiot. Even as I'm typing this, I keep repeating the song. It's just that killer.

The book I'm reading right now is Virals by Kathy Reichs. She is the author of the Temperance Brennan books that the television series Bones is based on. This is her first foray into YA writing. It follows the story of a group of friends who become mysteriously infected by something that changes their DNA. Part Hunger Games, part Spiderman...I've only just started it, but it has me sucked in.

My favorite look of the moment. This is a whole lot of look, but it's so well balanced. I LOVE those pants! And they're perfect with those shoes. This is a casual-chic rocker look that is easy, yet totally pulled together. I'm going to have to try and copy it. =)

Lastly, my latest food network crush is on Bobby Flay. Iron Chef Flay is a fiery New York City bad boy chef and also Food Network's television darling. This year he launched a new show on the network's spin-off Cooking Channel called Brunch @ Bobby's. Here he shows us how to use beer for brunch-looking super-hot in the process.Yeah!
