Natacha Atlas
Last night I bought her Best of. D pointed out that she was on the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack, and after looking her up, I realized I had heard her on several other things. I like this album quite a lot. Her voice floating over arabic-inspired beats is quite calming. And it possesses a world-music kind of feel that just makes me all happy. There is a remix album out there (one song mixed by Talvin Singh!!!!) that I would also like to pick up. You have to be right with non-american blandness I think to dig this. I feel like I should belly dance (even when she sings in french!! ::: melt :::: )

Madagascar – I want those hours back. I feel like I was cheated out of precious time and money. What a waste!. It’s dumb, ugly, and boring. Do not see this movie. (the good part was that we went with River and Miss A – that was cool…the movie, however, was not!)

Firefly – There is a movie coming out this fall called Serenity and the story is in the same world as this show. Netflix is a beautiful thing… so we rented the first disk of the show, and I have to say I loved it. It’s based in the future, but there is a definate wild-west feel to the whole thing (including the earth-toned costumes, the use of big cannons strapped to thighs and the theme-song!). I had never heard of the show when it was on, at least, not that I can remember. I am so sad that it was cancelled. This show is funny, good looking (both with the cast and the effects), and seems to have a good sense of character. They are all individualistic. That seems like it should be a given, but with ensemble peices, oftentimes someone gets lost. So, we saw the 2 hour pilot, and then 2 episodes….I like very very much. I can’t wait till we get the other disks from Netflix.

Phone status : fucked. I can’t get back to Sprint until tomorrow (I have class tonight.) It’s still dropping calls……argh!
