There is way too much cool stuff coming out this year...

The new album from Arcade Fire, Neon Bible, is out. If you're a fan of Arcade Fire, I think it's their best album to date. With all of the terrible pop music people listen to today, Neon Bible reminds me that good music still exists. It's a really amazing album.

On Saturday I saw the much anticipated 300. There's nothing to say about this movie except that it is really, really cool. Like Sin City before it, it has great artistic direction and use of colour. The reason they could do this is because the entire film was shot against blue screens - all of the backgrounds and special effects were added in via computers. It is definitely a movie that is experienced, not just seen, so go check it out at your closest movie theatre or IMAX. And prepare to walk out with a huge feeling of satisfaction.
