It's down to the wire. Down to five couples. One goes home tonight. Donny Osmond scored evenly with Aaron Carter last night. And I'm still fuming, because he was totally lowballed. They did a distinguished, technically good Viennese Waltz and got 9 8 9 that 8? Came from Len. He claimed he didn't like that it was "arty farty". What the HELL does that mean? It was no more "arty farty" than Mya's performance. They were actually on par with each other and all three give her 10s?

( Video and more rantage this way... )

Nail biting time. Should they be called safe tonight, I need you guys to just do me a solid? Call in a vote for Donny & Kym come Monday showtime? The number is 1 800 868 3405 You can also vote online: http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars . You have to register there to vote online but it's free and easy.

Thank you for letting me vent! LOL! And thank you for your votes in advance!!

Concord Street, Nashua, NH

There are more leaves on the ground than on the trees on the 7th of November...

This one is from the lovely little memorial garden in the back courtyard of First Church, Nashua (est 1685). There are several benches there, but the inscription on this one really got to me, and made me wonder who she was and what her was like.

Another film that featured in the London Film Festival, now on general release in the UK is The Men Who Stare At Goats. I saw this today (making an unintentional George Clooney double bill with The Fantastic Mr Fox) and its a winner from its title on down. The film is a fantastic modern fable that explores the fine line between mysticism and self delusion. Clooney is joined by two of my favourite actors, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey and each turn out briliant wry performances in this very funny film. It almost feels like a Cohen brothers comedy - such is the level of dead pan lunacy, and I cant think of a higher compliment to give.

The Fantastic Mr Fox had its UK premiere during the London film festival but has since gone out on general release - I saw it today. Ive got nothing but good things to say about it. Its based on a book by Roald Dahl, one of the greatest (non-patronising!) childrens authors ever. Directed by the ever-awesome Wes Anderson and featuring a stella cast its hard to go wrong. The film has so much of the vibe of a live action heist movie (Oceans 14?) I had to work at remembering that it was an animated film! Even in that department it has a totally unique look, which is hard to come by nowadays.
It seems you have to wait ages for a great animated family film then a bunch all come along at once. Up, Fantastic Mister Fox - whats next?

"Dewrinkle". If only it were that easy. ;)

Tuesday Tunes @ The Music Memoirs

A few fun questions for you:

What is the oldest album in your collection? (oldest as in you've had it longer than the others)
Hmmmm... probably my copy of "Revolver". I've had it since I was six years old. :)

What albums have you bought recently?
I downloaded one by Neko Case on Amazon because I fell in love with one song and wanted to hear more.

Where do you buy the most downloads?
Amazon. Only because of the stupid DRM coding on the downloads from iTunes. Plus I prefer mp3 not m4a. Still have quite a few from iTunes, but more from Amazon.

If you were to get a gift card from one music store, which one would it be and why?
I would love it to be from Amazon. I just prefer the ease and selection.

What do you have more of; physical albums for downloads?
Oh about equal right now I'd say.

Top Five on Friday @ The Music Memoirs

In honor of Halloween...

Top 5 artists or bands that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.

1. Slipknot

2. Mayhem (actually a couple other Norwegian black metal bands could qualify here too)

3. Insane Clown Posse (because a. they're insane and b. CLOWNS)

4. GWAR

5. Cradle of Filth

I love the cinema but there is a combination of three words more cast-iron-guaranteed to get me there than any other: New. Zombie. Movie. This is how Pontypool, the independent Canadian movie was sold on me.
