July by Youth Lagoon. One of my favorites from YL’s The Year of Hibernation along with 17, Afternoon, and Daydream. I love the way the song builds ever so intently as it moves through its progression culminating in its wonderful finale at the end. It just “sounds beautiful,” yet when its over you’re sort of left longing for more. I also find it interesting watching music videos for songs you like, especially when the visual narrative you’ve constructed in your head to go along with it is presented so differently in physical form. 

Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn. I only wish I could get my body to move like this, especially at the section starting around the 2:25 mark and that quick floor thrust earlier… mad hot, is what it is. I’m going to have to start practicing around the house for sure when nobody’s home. There’s something about her that I just love, like she’s gonna dance no matter what. She’s a feel good guilty pleasure of mine and I can’t help it, her energy is just so infectious (in a good way). You can’t deny the awesomeness that is held within those moves and her shoulder shrugs. I like Dancing On My Own too which is great too.

Monogamy

I don’t know what it is about psychological dramas with plots that seem to unravel more and more as they reveal themselves, but they always seem to draw me in and this film definitely seems like it would fall in that category. From what I’ve read online about the plot it’s basically about this couple Theo (Chris Messina) and Nat (Rashida Jones) who are engaged and about to wed. She is a laid back budding musician and he is a wedding photographer who becomes apathetic photographing brides and grooms as the primary means of his work. So Theo starts a side business where clients pay him to follow them and secretly photograph their lives I guess as a means of revealing something about them in the process. One such client is Subgirl (Meital Dohan) with whom Theo becomes obsessed with and it starts unraveling from there.

I’ve seen Chris Messina in a couple of roles such as Amy Adams’s husband in Julia & Julia, also in Away We Go and Devil which he turned out good performances, but this one looks to be his chance at a strong leading role.

Looking forward to checking this out and if anyone knows the song at the end of this trailer comment below and lay it on me.

Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury by Rachel Bloom. Incredibly funny with an irresistible and infectious chorus, what’s not to like here? I can’t get it out of my head and it brings a smile to my face every time. It’s always nice to see someone giving great authors they love and appreciation they deserve. I haven’t read any of his books, but I think I’m going to read Something Wicked This Way Comes just out of respect.
