  newest album or first album?

  When first deciding to listen to an artist, do you tend to start with their most current album or their first? For me it's depends on the artist.

  I bought and liked My Morning Jacket's EVIL URGES without having any knowledge of their earlier works. However, when an artist has a large catalog, such as Tori Amos, I like to go back and experience the evolution of their work... Little Earthquakes is wonderful...the Beekeeper; not so much.

  Then again, sometimes an artists earlier albums suck...

  LIVE MovieBlog 2008

  This particular blog is mainly for my own records... but it will have film commentaries; so if you're a movie fan you might be interested. It's just an ongoing list of the films I watch this year.. (feel free to ignore this one if you're not into film!)
  
  JANUARY
  
  1. If Only - A Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle that was a total waste of time. The ending is a huge dissapointment...a better one could have redeemed this film. I do NOT reccommend.
  
  2. The Simpsons Movie - I liked it, but I'm a HUGE fan of the show! If you've never seen the show, try a couple episodes first to see if you like the pop culture humor..
  
  3. The Descent - Hellish tale of cave-dwelling demons preying on women. Well-done scares with good effects; but weak story. Eh.
  
  4. Spiderman 3 - A- Well done comic book film with excellent ending; not quite up to par with the first two but still awesome.
  
  FEBRUARY
  
  5. Waitress - Best thing about this movie was that Andy Griffith was in it.
  
  6. the White Countess - Extremely well done movie; definitely one of Ralph Fiennes' best roles...I highly reccommend!
  
  7. Cabin Fever - Eli Roth's debut; standard...nothing real original
  
  8. Live Free or Die Hard - Liked a lot; excellent pacing. Great popcorn flick!
  
  9. the Fugitive - Seen it a few times before and I still like it. Jones and Ford are a perfect pairing. 90's essential!

  10. Home for the Holidays

  MARCH

  11. Mortal Kombat

  12. No Reservations
