8 sex and love things men are RIGHT about (da Glamour Usa)
You don’t need to talk everything to death.
Those long, process-y relationship talks on Grey’s Anatomy are one reason that show has a viewership of approximately 3 billion women and three men.
The Burt Bacharach Mix (da Any Major Dude With Half A Heart)
Burt Bacharach compie 80 anni oggi. Su “Any Major Dude With Half A Heart” c’è una bella compilation da scaricare più un po’ di mp3 random.
Peraltro “Always Something There To Remind Me” l’ho sentita per la prima volta nella versione dei Naked Eyes e per me non ne esistono altre. :-)
Bong Joon Ho, Leos Carax and Michel Gondry’s "Tokyo"!
“Tôkyô!” is the upcoming three part anthology project, a triptych film in the same tradition of “New York Stories” or “Paris, je t’aime”, from directors Bong Joon Ho (The Host), Leos Carax (Bad Blood) and Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine). Each director tells an odd little story set in Japan’s capital.
Sono curiosissima! Anche di ritrovare Leos Carax che non pensavo fosse uscito indenne dagli anni ‘90.

I made this for truck drivers and the blind, but you might enjoy it too. I tried to read it in a way that would make it impossible for you to not get me.
The new MGMT album, Oracular Spectacular, is also pretty enjoyable.
Which is the better album, mine or theirs? Well, if we are judging by length, mine is 5 hours long, so mine wins - but we might not have been judging by length. If judged by yellowness, I also win. But if judging by number of young men in feathers and scarves on the cover, I lose. (Unless you think of the word “Unabridged” as a young man?) I also lose on danceability.
It’s a tie. Go to iTunes and get them both.

Boney M - “Sunny” (1976)
La loro versione, quella disco. Il video mette il buonumore :-)
“Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.”

Marvin Gaye “Inner City Blues” (dal rivoluzionario disco del 1971 “What’s Going On?”) “
“In 1969 or 1970, I began to re-evaluate my whole concept of what I wanted my music to say. I was very much affected by letters my brother was sending me from Vietnam, as well as the social situation here at home. I realized that I had to put my own fantasies behind me if I wanted to write songs that would reach the souls of people. I wanted them to take a look at what was happening in the world.” (Marvin Gaye)
Growing up in Downey Sr.’s house, the commodity was wit, the commodity was political commentary, the commodity was innovation, and that’s what I grew up feeling very inspired by. And I wound up getting recruited … I had the dubious honor — hey Lorne — of being on probably the worst season of Saturday Night Live. And I still had a great time and it was a great experience. Thanks for not kicking me off the show — I was up to some pretty nefarious acts in the dressing room. Unless I need mention the obvious, it was a period of time when being a Gen X guy … if I’m influencing anything, it’s about survival, surviving a time of that post-sixties, we-don’t-know-who-we-are-or-what-to-do. It was a time when being self-destructive seemed in. And we weren’t quite sure what we were rebelling against, but we took a pretty heavy fall and we lost a lot of people. So I remember when I was at my very lowest, my dad, who had put down all that dumb stuff twenty years before, said, ‘Hey kid, stick around. It’s not so bad. Just stay on the planet”
…Jr. turned to his dad, but his voice cracked and he couldn’t quite get out his sentence…
“And so tonight … [long pause] I just want to honor my dad for being every inch the man I remember him to be and thank him.”
…The applause swelled. Not an eye in the house was dry. Then Jr. turned the mike over to Sr., who stared at him blankly and deadpanned…
“I’m not your father.”
…Downey Jr. stood there, mouth agape, for a moment, before crumpling over in laugher and hugging his dad…
“You son of a bitch! You just let me get all fucking emotional?
