The Morning News has an interesting feature on their site titled, simply, “Albums of the Year.” The distinguishing factor, here, is that these lists cover years gone by, such as yesterday’s “The Top Albums of 1989.”
There are sample MP3s for each album listed along with commentary.

CACHE . 35mm short . from isiah flores on Vimeo.
I don’t know how I let this slip by, but either way, Cache is the most recent short from Isiah Flores. I wish it was a little longer, but I still love the filming and the choice of shots. Penelope Allyn Collins deserves as [...]
Modern Guilt
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Here’s my song-by-song impressions of Beck’s latest album, Modern Guilt, gathered from my recent Twitter postings:

Friday, June 27, 2008
Today I was thinking about our national debt in the United States, as of this entry estimated at about $9.3 TRILLION, or nearly $31,000 per person. This got me wondering whether other industrialized nations suffered from similar financial problems. So I did what any nerd with an internet connection would do, and researched [...]
