Gagnant pour la première fois de ma vie

C'est étrange mais c'est la première fois de ma vie que je gagne un tirage,
et en plus c'est un DVD de La Mala Educación. J'devrais pouvoir le
regarder d'ici une semaine ou deux.

Sushi machine

Une machine à sushis qui fait 50 morceaux à la minute! Il semblerait que le prix est assez élevé et ça reste à voir la qualité de ce qui en sort...

OffYul, la mort, et la ressucitation de mon iPod

Trop d'émotions dans une même soirée, d'abord jsuis aller jeter un coup d'oeil (bref) au OffYul question de me pointer le nez, en changeant d'endroit j'ai eut la mauvaise idée de regarder mon iPod. Niet, plus de réponse, geler (et pourtant fait pas si froid dehors). J'ai du retourner au bercail pour tenter des manoeuvres de RCR. Heureusement avec mon talent, en 10 minutes il est back on track... ressuciter. Refait moi plus JAMAIS ça!

CD Review for the past month

Here's what I bought and listened to in March.

Arovane - Lilies

This album is one of the strong electronica release in 2004. The whole concept resolve around a trip to Tokyo, some tracks like Windy Wish Trees and Tokyo Ghost Stories we're compose while Uwe Zahn (a.k.a. Arovane) visited a Shinto Temple in Tokyo. Very moody, melodic, and nice music if you dig electronica from Germany you don't want to pass by this pure gem.


Hood - Outside Closer

Hood's latest release, and it's been anticipated. There last album Cold house released in 2001, has been criticly acclaim. This release is in comparaison a bit more pop (at least for the single The Lost You), really well produced, but we're in familiar ground here, no surprises. Any Hopeful Thoughts Arrive, a 7 minutes almost epic track, is my fav. If you liked Cold House, you definitly want to ear this.


Mogwai - Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003

This album collects some of the best Mogwai's live performances on John Peel. Almost like a live album, it sounds great and powerful. If you dont' know them it's a great introduction to there past releases and for the fans (like myself) you have to pick this up.


Iron & Wine - Woman King EP

A follow up to the 2004 Our Endless Numbered Days release. The sound of Iron&Wine have never been more diversified, really nice arrangements, less minimalist folk approach. Sam Bean's voice is one of the nicest in the folk genra and feels more assured. A must have if you liked the precedent release.


More to come soon.

Sideways

I've started to read the book a week ago, and I'm really into it. Really well written and in case you're wondering:
Sideways is the story of two friends-Miles and Jack-going away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single: pinot, putting, and prowling bars. In the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country. For Jack, the tasting tour is Seven Days to D-Day, his final stretch of freedom. For Miles--who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career and has lost his passion for living-the trip is a weeklong opportunity to evaluate his past, his future and himself.

The DVD is release today, I'll rent it as soon as I finish the book.

Here for the movie trailer.
