The Week-End Wrap and Review

Another weekly post begins right here with the first weekly installment of The Week-End Wrap and Review for the Week of September 30!

What I Saw: Watched a couple movies this week. First was Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The movie was okay, but the Silver Surfer was amazing, always one of my favorite superheroes! Also started to watch Vacancy but got bored with it fairly quickly and never continued! On the movie front I watched the regulars, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Heroes, Bionic Woman, and the premiere of Pushing Daisies, a new favorite!

What I Heard: On the iPod and in the car CD player most of this week has been the soundtrack from Across The Universe, which was fantastic! I saw the movie a couple weeks ago and it was a visual acid trip, but in a good way!

What I Am Reading: I have gone back to begin re-reading Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, which has always been a favorite book of mine. It was one of those books that makes you love a genre, in this case non-fiction. I've also began to read Ellen's first book, My Point...And I Do Have One, which is just funny

So, that's the basics for this week.

The Monday Morning Mix-Up on Thursday

So while two of the blogs that I read regularly, Pheasantly Fascinating and The Mind Wobbles, have their Friday Shuffle compliments of their computers (or in The Mind's case, a little iPod Shuffle affectionately (I'm assuming) named Lola!) So instead, I have deviated from the norm a tad (insert snarly comment from peanut gallery here) and created the Monday Morning Mix-Up.

The Monday Morning Mix-Up will be my computer's random selection of ten songs...now before I continue I must explain one thing, my music selection is eclectic...and by eclectic I actually mean, anything under the sun! Now, I have endless days of music, so I don't get to listen to it much and some of the songs I might not know, so they will get their first listen!

Without further ado, I present the inaugural Monday Morning Mix-Up, presented without commercial interruptions, on a Thursday evening:

• Pussycat Dolls : Don't Cha - A song that is pure fluff and has no real substance, but is catchy and fun to listen to!
  
• Green Day : All The Time - I actually have never gotten to the point in the Nimrod album to listen to this song...but it is a good song! Before the band decided to leave the punk realm behind for the pop world.
• Willie Nelson : Someone To Watch Over Me - This has to be one of my favorite Willie songs, it is definitely from my favorite Willie album, Stardust. It is a great standard and Willie Nelson adds his unique vocals to this song, making it one that stands out.
• The Wallflowers : Health and Happiness - A very interesting song, kinda down and dark, not quite sold on it yet, even though it is Bob Dylan's son who is the lead singer. Wallflowers were one of those groups that had an amazing first album then just faded.
• Fleetwood Mac : Everywhere - At first I thought the song was something by Electric Light Orchestra from Xanadu, but then the intro ended, and it has begun to sound like a mix of ELO and Men Down Under. It's a good song, but just not Fleetwood Mac to me for some reason.
  
• The Beatles : Her Majesty - All twenty-three seconds of this song are nice, pleasant, and about not being able to tell Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl. In fact it probably took you longer to read this than it did for my computer to play it!
• Bad Company : Feel Like Makin' Love - A CD that is in my computer that I have never listened to. It was one that was imported via a friends CD and now I get to hear a song. Not bad, not what I was expecting either (in a good way)!
• Dolly Parton : Will He Be Waiting For Me - I love me some Dolly, especially the bluegrass years! This is a great little ditty, uptempo, fun, yet not necessarily a positive song. Still, lots of fun!
• Pat Benatar : Ooh Ooh Song - A very fun song, very 80's sound which is great.
  
• 10,000 Maniacs : These Are The Days - My third favorite 10,000 Maniacs song and a great way to end this weeks songs! Natalie Merchant has such a great voice, but for me it only works with the rest of the band!

So that does it for the very first Monday Morning Mix-Up! Let me know your thoughts on these songs, artists, etc!
