The People Want Alive 2007 on DVD



Boo to Daft Punk for killing the Alive 2007 DVD. I just got the CD and listening to it is amazing, but I need the visual component to complete the experience. Just knowing how much strobing lights and lasers and LCD screens were at the Keyspan Show, and all we get is one music video from that show on the second CD of the album just doesn't cut it. I want 2.5 hours of all those visuals, combined with the thumping beat mixing sounds and maybe just a trickle of how much energy was in the stadium that hot muggy August night. If Daft Punk somehow reads this, they need to know how much their fans need that experience on DVD.

Sigur Ros is Awesome - See This Film



I just got the new Sigur Ros film Heima for Christmas. It is a film documenting the band traveling around their native Iceland giving free concerts. It is quite surreal and there are amazing shots of the Icelandic landscape interspersed with concert footage and interviews.

Iceland is a must-see if you ever travel abroad. I had the privilege of going there for a week in 2006 (one of 4 countries I have been to outside the US and Canada in my life). The landscape is very sparse and desolate, but is so beautiful and peaceful. Glaciers and mountains can always be seen in the distance, and the geysers, waterfalls, and coastline are extraordinary. Here are some pics of my visit:

Go Out and Buy This Now...


I Insist. This Bourbon is real nice. Very smooth and very drinkable and as some guy in some forum noted: "I tried some 1792 Ridgemont not too long ago at a bourbon bar. If I'm remembering correctly it has a pretty good nose on it, lots of vanilla and maple/brown suger. Fairly smooth going down with a nice tingle." He is spot on. Just don't mix it or shoot it, on the rocks for sippin' is the only way to go.

Elves are Awesome!

These elves have been spotted at the North Pole slacking on their toy-making duties and getting into a dance-a-thon
