Part concert review, part travel log, this is the brief account of an excursion this past Sunday to the capital city of Ohio. Yes, this is the third blog entry this year that I’ve mentioned Robyn.

The 3rd annual preview of summer movies… that I’d like to see, so you can count on several indie flicks to be part of this list. I’ve heard mention that this could be one of the worse summer movie seasons in years – but I couldn’t manage to narrow it down to any less than 28 films. Just like last year’s format, for many of these you can watch previews and get the scoop at the Yahoo! Summer Movie Guide.

The new Foo Fighters album came out on Tuesday. I practically passed out while listening to it for the first time on a stationary bike today. I had heard a couple of the first singles before, but I still haven’t read any reviews, so here’s my own quick Wasting Light first listen rating for each track.
A few years ago, I posted a journal entry on Last.fm about film scores (from 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Dark Knight) and why I like so many of them. Here’s a little update – adding Benjamin Button, The Social Network, and Tron: Legacy.
Since the Rate Your Music feed doesn’t work, I present here a few albums I’ve enjoyed lately.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Nelson Mandela
