Books, Film, and Music, discovered in January, 2010

Books:

1. Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad.
2. The Beginner’s Guide to Immortality, by Clifford A. Pickover
3. Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl
4. Archetypes and Collective Unconscious, by Carl Jung
5. The Interpretation of Dreams, by Sigmund Freud.

Movies:

1. Avatar – twice. A very good movie with Sigourner Weaver, but I don’t think it was quite as good as it was all hyped up to be.
2. Sherlock Holmes – best movie of the month and maybe of the year (haven’t gotten that far yet). Robert Downy Jr. is pure brilliance, and Jude Law is a favorite of mine.
3. Up in the Air – a wonderful, deep movie with dreamy George Clooney.

Music:

1. Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds : a reggae band from LA that was opened at a show by my man’s band, The Bend, at the Clubhouse
2. Sinclair’s Revenge: a local punkish reggae band that played with the Bend at the Clubhouse and Martini Ranch
3. Tribal Seeds: a reggae band from San Diego that played with the Bend at Martini Ranch
4. Midnite: a very famous reggae band from the island st. Croix with strong influences from Rasta, Jah
5. Boards of Canada: a very famous electronic sounding rock band from Scotland
