Ryan Bingham/Crazy Heart

From the new country music film Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal, this track by Ryan Bingham should have you crying into your beer by lunchtime. I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on it, but I have heard the song and after just seeing Willie Nelson last night, it seemed appropriate for Hump day. And to be the first post since Nam.

P.S. The image is Jeff Bridges, not Ryan Bingham. Jeff is much cooler looking.

Mark Mothersbaugh Plays With His Monkey

Spielberg hires one of the film industries’ favorite musicians to score a video game about block-shaped monkeys and sheep that blow shit up. I guess even the insanely rich need a few extra million when times get tough. I wouldn’t recommend this collection of songs for any late night baby-making sessions; unless your idea of sex involves a pogo stick and a magical village.
