These are things that I've enjoyed over the last few weeks. Perhaps I can be like Oprah or Martha Stewart some day, endorsing books or kitchen implements, but for now its just going to be podcasts and music.
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast - Marc Maron has been living in my head for the last month. The podcast is addicting, funny, sad and it feels honest. Creative people talk about their craft and their calling, their depression and failures! How novel! Marc has said in interviews about the podcast that he feels its become popular because its recapturing a lost art form: conversation.
Joe Henry's"Odetta" is lovely, perhaps another fantastic album is around the corner. (Please come back to The Ark, Joe!)
"Sweet Land" - this had been languishing in my Netflix instant queue for months, but on vacation last week I finally watched it. What a sweet, earnest, romantic movie with more sexual tension than any movie I've seen in years. Plus, Inge (Elizabeth Reaser), the heroine, rocks her huge brunette hair like a goddess. Power to the curly haired women!
And (ok sorry) U2's 360 Tour is done. This video of "40" (the last song, of their last show) also lovely.
