And I don't mean, "Hey, this is pretty good!", I mean, "Holy fucking shit, I can't believe how AWESOME this is!!! I can't stop thinking about it!"

It really feels like it's less and less often that something really pushes my buttons in that way... especially with music. I'm probably forgetting something but from memory--

MOVIE: The Dark Knight
ALBUM: The Strokes' "First Impressions of Earth"
COMIC: All Star Superman

What say you? SPEAK!

Movie would be True Grit.

Music -- I'm embarrassed to say.

Comic -- hasn't really happened in my adult life.

Movie: I'm not really a movie guy. Brick really grabbed me, though - film noir, but all high school kids.



Music: The Urban Voodoo Machine's latest album really hit the spot for me. It's like Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello rolled up into one. Maybe a little Nick Cave and Pogues rolled in.



Comic: Journey Into Mystery #622 (I read it in trade form). It was the best fantasy comic I've read since Sandman ended - and it is worthy of that comparison, too.

Brick was....interesting.
Matt really likes that movie. I think I'd have to watch it again before I can make a sound judgment.

Toss up between that Adele's album 21 and that fun song "We are Young."

How predictable of me.
