Stranger Than Fiction

So I just sent off my first scratch tracks to their secret session player(s) to get tracked. I am so psyched...the writing is phasing into tracking.

Speaking of being psyched, "Stranger Than Fiction" just came out on DVD this week and I was so excited! I know there were a lot of people that didn't like it, but I am certain it is because they went into it expecting a really goofy Will Ferrell film like "Taladega Nights" or "Anchorman". This film is great, mostly because it points out what I have told people for years: that everyday things make life a great story. It spent almost the entire movie riding lines of comedy and drama and I loved it. So if you haven't already, check it out, but don't expect "I WANNA GO FAST! I WANNA GO FAST!" This is Will in a different plane of his talent.

For the past week, all I have been listening to is the Motion Picture Score to the film "The Fountain". The movie will hurt your head because it is 100% abstract art, but the music is absolutely genius. The strings, the piano, you can feel the pain, hurt, joy and everything in every note...it is amazing. My favorite track is "First Snow" although "Together We Will Live Forever" is awesome too, all if it is great. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into good music and you like a good string quartet like me, this should be added to your collection.

Anyway, time for bed...g'night all,
