My bad on the worst songs link. Had posted it while stateside.

Here's a link that does work, but it's about movies and has nothing to do with film. Still, think it's worth reading.

As for music, I have been slowly getting into the latest Panda Bear, which works best at two or three tracks at a time, and with the headphones cranked to moderately loud. There's a soothing quality to the circular, disembodied incantations that comprise the vocal contribution on most of the tracks. But the effect of hearing them one after another is one of diminishing returns: what once sounded special now just sounds like the same snippets of a beach boys album being played backwards in a room down the hall from where i'm listening. Still, it says something (either about the album or about me, not sure which), that I keep going back to it and wanting to understand it.

Haven't been listening to much rdio lately but will try to correct that today. Lots of interesting new releases, including Moby, Danger Mouse, Let's Wrestle, and Wu-Tang. And yes, I'm absolutely certain this is a set of artists that will excite all of you. Enjoy.
