I still can’t get over Jay Brannan from one of the best movies I have watched my entire life titled Shortbus. I have followed his folk career every now and then and this is his latest.

Röyksopp’s “Happy Up Here” is delicious
1
Everyone’s excited for Junior and this first single is a delicious offering from the band that can’t go wrong. It’s electronic, yet sing-along. It sounds a bit like Télépopmusik on xanax. If this is a clue to the direction of the album, then they are on the right track.
Movie: Slumdog Millionaire स्लमडॉग मिलिनेयर (2008)
1
With all the hype surrounding it and the fact that M.I.A. is heavily featured on the soundtrack, I had to check the movie out from the same director that gave us Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Millions.
The movie is a slice of freshness from a perspective rarely voiced in mainstream cinema. This 15 million dollar budgeted flick follows Jamal Malik’s entire young life while splicing How Wants To Be A Millionaire questions between events.
The plot takes turns and twists as he becomes a young man of courage and independence. The character is belittled by everyone for being a menial chaiwalla, he proves himself through poverty, betrayal, corruption, the mafia, being orphaned at an early age and jumping in a pool of shit just to get Amitabh Bachchan’s autograph.
Tina Dico continues to impress…
A Beginning, A Detour, An Open Ending is highly recommended for all the romantics and folkies. It is getting better and better with time, like wine.

Everything from Bless Homme‘s Spring/Summer Collection is wearable. I like how they are baggy or tight in the right places.

Must-Watch: Milk (2008)
1
I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. I am very familiar with Harvey Milk’s life and work. When rumors of this movie surfaced, I was both excited and anxious. I was afraid that in the hollywoodization of this film his life would be misrepresented and the issues not given the right treatment. I have to say that the movie does as much justice as can, considering the fact that it has to squeeze in a person’s life in approximately two hours.
Sean Penn has always been an actor to reckon with and James Franco is just pure eye-candy. The movie goes back in time to depict the early days of the gay civil rights movement post-Stonewall and pre-HIV/AIDS. In a time that was drenched in ignorance and intolerance towards any sexual minority. San Francisco was center stage for the liberal front, where hippies, gays and other social outcasts gathered to fit in. In the process they managed to elect the first openly gay governmental figure in US history (if you don’t count Abraham Lincoln).
Tech: Flesh-like remote controls for the future…
This remote is meant to rest easy on any surface with its gel-like soft material and then get rigid once you touch it. I wonder where they got their inspiration.
