Yea Yea

Every so often I get hooked on a movie trailer. I realize its as much the content as the music behind it. A long time ago it was Road to Perdition and the great piano theme, right now it's Street Kings. While the trailer has some moments that don't seem so great, I consistently seek it out or stop to listen to it. This time specifically because of Lupe Fiasco's "Put you on Game".

My experience with Lupe Fiasco is limited to guest spots on Kanye West albums and my younger brother telling me he's fantastic. I'm no expert, no true aficionado of hip hop, though I do have a passing knowledge of what seems like more talented acts/people. I am a white boy from the suburbs, but good music is good music.

I'm not going to go into a debate, if there is one, on commercializing hip hop with movies or mainstreaming, but its enough of a clip to go seek out more about the album The Cool (And I suppose Food & Liquor as well.)

Speaking of things I enjoy, I was watching my 30Rock Season 1 DVD and it's still funny. Alec Baldwin gets so many great lines, and sells them so well, completely quotable. To the point of pissing people off.

I also have a small addiction to Top Chef. I'm really not into the whole foodie trend. I enjoy trying to cook my own dishes, but they're never complicated, or employ ingredients that were flown from around the world. I also don't like many of the contestants, and don't enjoy reality show formatting. Yet for some reason... I seek it out, and won't change the channel when the new episode is on.
