Where the Wild Things Are

I was largely unaware of this project until a couple months ago when I heard Dave Eggers (Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius; What is the What) cowrote the screenplay with none other than Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and just about any sweet music video of the last 15 years [yep that one with Christopher Walken])

This trailer was just released today and I've watched it almost a dozen times already. I can't believe how freaking cool this movie looks and having the trailer set to the Arcade Fire music only ups the potential cool by a factor of 100.

But don't take my word for it...

Wozofoto

Sorry to use this blog for shameless self-promotion, but just in case your walls are looking a little bare, please check out my new website:

Wozofoto.com is a deal-a-day site, offering a new photo by a different photographer everyday. For $10 you can get a 5x7 or 8x10 that would cost you multiples more elsewhere. Larger sizes are also available for an additional fee. Photos are printed at professional photo labs with archival quality inks and paper. Your photos will be printed and shipped to you so fast they'll be on your wall in about a week.

What's the catch? The photo of the day is here today and gone tomorrow. One day, one photo. Thanks for checking it out the site - let me know what you think.

Animal Collective

Am I the last one to discover the band Animal Collective? Hope not. If you don't know em, give their newest album Merriweather Post Pavilion a whirl. 

If Beta Band suddenly became DJs they might sound something like these guys. If you don't know Beta Band, then shame on you. Watch High Fidelity and then we can talk. 

Animal Collective is categorized, somehow, as "psych folk" or "noise rock", neither of which really describe what they do. They are melodic and electronic, crisp and eccentric, high energy and utterly irresistible. Honestly it took a couple listens before I got it, but now I cannot stop. Try "Brother Sport" or "My Girls" as introductions, but be sure to give the whole album a chance.

I have not gotten my hands on any of their older work, so if you perchance get lucky, maybe pass it along?
