Peter, Bjorn and John - Gimme Some (2011)

I had been excited for weeks to listen to this album. It was definitely enjoyable. It didn't floor me, but I got out of it what I wanted.

PB & J have a distinct rock kind of sound that makes them accessible to mainstream audiences, but also keeps them in a niche market.

Definitely good background music at a party, or something to chill out to after a long day.

Tracks that caught my ear on first listen: Dig a Little Deeper, and I Know You Don't Love Me.

I'm debating going to their show in May, not sure if it is sold out or not.

Peace.

Rubber (2011)

This movie is pure shits and giggles. I definitely think it's worth checking out at least for the reason that it will blow your mind literally and figuratively.

On one hand I felt like Rubber was this incredible art film, comparing to Jean-Luc Godard who actively breaks film conventions and goes out of his way to say "fuck you" to his audience. And on the other hand, this film was pure eye candy with a tire literally blowing things and people up.

I don't think I will ever see this movie again, unless someone I know insists I see it with them, but it was definitely worth seeing at least once.

Cheers.
