Great form brings out the seraphim in things. Ha!
Too bi mad men season 1-3 at 12 bucks a sd year.? Isn’t dnla situation? (The orphanage is closing in an hour)…
To the political solutions. Oh yes rape laws- all for them in this new government all up in your bedroom because hello, crimes happen in your bedroom in no time at all these days. Also case you missed it, the triangulation happened and like most any successful political move, it’s nearly impossible to pin point when it started, was it the speech “no to two Americas?” in 2004 or maybe this tax failure. The obsessive conspiracy theory angle in me got thinking that maybe guy debor didn’t kill himself. It’s Obama fault right? That’s kinda sort edgy. It’s Frosty! I blame no one/ monkey on my back,,,,keeps me.. it’s the catch baby.
Besides the no label movement or party with strong man joe form the television ;) know what’s up!?
Typing with my new gloves as my hands always get cold on the computer – these are nice Cause they are open fingered if that’s a term.

Top ten lists
tv
1. Treme. Nothing else came very close in terms of all season long. Really better than any season of the wire. Better than expected to say the least. One liners like, play for that motherfuckin money, great music, and no show broke your heart like this one did. In my quick judging, the best season of tv since season 1 of mad men.
2. Mad men. The clips of draper saying what alone would get it on here in a way. On a side note, youtube took that down!!? It’s so funny. It may rank 2nd to the first season in mm history and as you can tell that season ranks high for me. The off broadway episode with the boxing match, the women of mad men episode that many didn’t like (they are wrong if you’re wondering), the kids, the hipsters, the fucking swimming, the exit of cooper, classics! Goes a long way to supporting the idea that this is the/a golden age of tv.
3. Boardwalk Empire. Bit of drop to this one as only treme and mm where like must see every second and really that was just treme but I digress. Tons of great lines that I’d want to get exact so I won’t bother right now with them. Stunning visuals, great direction of course, and steve mother fucking buscemi’s on screen persona transformation from a loser in say ghost world, reservoir dogs etc., to the man with grace kelley’s phone number. And micheal pitt rocked that guy from arcade fire’s haircut way better than the rocker did/does. If only there was more violence right?
4. Parks and Rec. – funny times. Ron swanson, the character who’s an anti-government, government employee with a heart buried deep under his thick mustache performed with awesomeness by the actor. Really could have 30 rock/the office here but this just seemed fresher on first run.
5. Breaking Bad. If folks were up in this show’s ass about craftsmanship details like they are with MM, it would be nice cause as it is, this show is the golden child along with community of the “they” of critics. But don’t let that stop you from watching. It’s very clever with great acting from the two leads. It’s like weeds in that it took a simple drug dealing set-up and has extended the premise a long way perhaps past the point of reality but who cares.
6. Eastbound and Down. Even in the first couple episodes but delivered the best couple minutes in comedy this year with his entrance to taking the mound for the first time. After that episode, it seemed like everything worked well enough to make it can’t miss.
7. The Daily Show. Would’ve been higher but the rally didn’t register as classic so as sinfield does in his routine now, everything now, it’s either great or it sucks. I watched most every night.
8. Men of a Certain Age. It still feels odd putting this show on here but just watch it, it’s amazing nearly every second.
9. Weeds. – Yeah man.
10. How to make it in America. A breath of fresh air/shot of energy one of the funnest shows to watch on tv.
Was Curb on this year? If so it would be number 3. Shout outs to PTI and Entourage both had great years.
Music
Singles
1. Boyfriend – Best Coast. Might have gone with bad romance not sure if that was even this year or a ke$ha track as they are both clearly more single oriented. This song though came out of nowhere, was a hipster hit single and god is just so easy to listen to. 2nd place goes to dancing with myself by robyn which if you’re looking to rock out at the club is a better choice but boyfriend would be the song you know that you start going steady to!! Also goldfrapp had a couple good ones and xxxo by m.i.a.. dude bands need better singles clearly though I like it by Enrique was great.
Albums
1. Come around Sundown –King of Leon. I recommend it.
Concerts.
Bonnaroo – the Dead Weather. See there was this girl, it was so hot out, then the dead weather started and it started raining and then of course they rocked oh so hard.
The posies. Played the exit/inn opening for another act. One of the best shows of my time in nashvegas. Hard to explain.
Retro.
Aailyah, the true Queens of Noise, Nirvana
Movies
This is a bit of tough list as there’s a few still to see but my ruckus you’re looking for will be on display…
1. ?/Somewhere. By all accounts this is the movie. Just it hasn’t opened here yet. The tech geek in me is pumped to know she shot with old lenses that give a soft look which in this hd world makes that part of me so happy.
2. Winter’s Bone. Does the critical dismissing of this movie deserve my lashing? Probably not. Great acting, great storytelling, some of the shots burn their memory into your brain.
3. Social network. Again a bit of a drop off from the first two. Hard to tell weather all the various parts that seem to be, in a post-modern way intertwined into the story but are barely there should be counted. Like is this a movie about the dot-com world in general or is it limited to mark zuckerburg? It’s not that big of a deal but for me the best parts are the big picture ones like the value of generating revenue vs. getting a valuation on your idea which like the best critics point out, is an issue with so much of American/western business particularly in this day and age.
4. Banksy – I recommend it.
5. Wall Street 2. Overlooked for some reason.
You could round out a top ten with the fighter, black swan, the American, godard’s last film, and maybe the runaways or twilight 3.
You’re welcome America.
