Break Up

This is a great CD! I have not been able to stop listening to it repeatedly! If you like Pete Yorn or the SHe & Him kindof sound you will love this CD

Symmetry
$22.98
2009 release from one of Drum 'N' Bass' most in demand DJs and producers. Establishing an inimitable sound over the last couple of years through his seemingly endless output of singles and remixes, Break's stripped back, highly rhythmic and technically unrivalled productions have become a necessary component in every good DJ's sets. This 18 track CD really shows what Break is capable of; whether through the breaks collaboration with SP, the cop themed Beastie Boys-styled "Walk" or the Dubstep of "Thin Ice", Break flaunts his genius without ever succumbing to the obvious.

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - A Film About Wilco
$29.98
When this movie originally came out in the theatres in 2003, it played exactly for one week here in Cincinnati, but you can be sure I did not miss it. Loved it from start to finish. For whatever reason, I never bought the DVD when it came out, until a couple of weeks ago and so this was my first time re-watching the movie, 5 years later.

DVD1 (92 min.) of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" brings the original theatrical release, and re-watching it 5 years later, and knowing full-well the story that it brings, it remains a marvel to watch. Originally intended as simply following how the band makes a new album, it turns into a full fletched drama (band members leaving, label rejecting the album, the band persevering, etc.). One hilarious moment that remains with me is when the band is on the road and Jeff Tweedy and his family walks into a fast-food place and he says "I don't have any money". It's probably not that they were broke, but it's probably not too far from the truth either... Since those days of course, the band has become a huge success.

DVD2 (80 min.) brings a bunch of scenes that weren't included in the movie, including the band performing in various places and settings. There is also a too-brief "making-of" segment that is quite insightful. On top of that, this release includes an absolute fantastic 40 page booklet with insights from the director and others on the making of the movie (with pictures). In all, "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is essential for any serious music fan, on the same level as, say, "DIG!". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Junk, Junk, Junk. Pop rock sellout garbage. The edge that made me enjoy Three Days Grace's music is gone, baby gone.
