Hens Have Ears

More recommends for entertainment or alone time or sounding smart. Sure.

Podcast front: Radio Lab by WNYC. At first the SFX threw me because I've been listening to more lo-fi structures of This American Life et al. But once you get into the flow of the audio style you really find that it's a character of the show. Mostly cool, each episode brings heavy concepts into a place we can all share. Particular ones that I really liked have been "Mortality", "War of the Worlds", and "Placebo". These are just a few. As you can feel, there have been a few times that I felt bored, but rarely. It's worth drudging through any boring moments to get to a grander point.

Music Videos: Snoop Dogg's latest is phenomenal. It's amazing to see how reactive the zeitgeist is to the Photoshop slickness of the past 5 years. Now things are cooler when they're Gondry, do-it-yourself cheesy. In these youtube times of "I can make something cool in my livingroom" the producers and directors aren't skipping a beat. Snoop deviates from his usual stuff and it works. Unlike Madge and her attempts to partner with Timbaland-erlake. Yikes. 4 minutes too long fellas. Sorry.

Music: Eve's new song "Tamborine" is awesome. Play it when you need to bounce around the room.

Let me know what you think on any of this stuff.
