I took the little man to see Walking With The Dinosaurs Live at MSG the other day. It was brilliant. It reminded me of the first Star Wars. Very un-now. No CGI. Just reality sized computerized dinosaurs. Plus a few maned by Humans in what would be the coolest Halloween costume ever. It is traveling around the States right now. When it comes to town make a little one very happy and take them.
The dinos do "fight" but there is no real interaction thus no blood or really even violence. The pace is slow and plodding but filled with good information. It really is a throw back. Money well spent.
The tunes this week or the more things change the more they stay the same.
Conor Oberst - Self Titled
He still sounds like Bright Eyes. That could be the whole review. More of the same and that should make all music lovers happy. He went down to Mexico with his "crew" to record this one. It makes for a nice, relaxed, intelligent ride but the folk/rock and country/roll and biting lyrics are all intact.
Randy Newman - Harps and Angels
It has been awhile since a non-Pixar album but again like Oberst more of the same. The wit and wisdom shine through on this low production cd.
Carla Bruni - Comme Si de Rien N'Etait (As If Nothing Had Happened)
It's a joke. The title of the CD because the music is wonderful. The joke is that she is now the "First Lady" of France - as if Nothing has happened. Get it? Yes she is the one that recently married the French President. I wonder what kind of cd our "First Lady" would come out with. No way it would be as cool as this one. I had to listen to the cd, well, because of who she was. The more I listened the more I enjoyed. Give her a serious listen. She may surprise you too.
Also to check
Ida if you are into the Indie Folk thing. Or Mike Gordon if you miss Phish. He was/is the bassist and this is a solo cd. Oh and you get a Legacy Edition of "Fumbling Toward Ecstasy" with includes a bonus CD/DVD.
More later

Dinosaurs are pretty awesome. If you're looking for a more adult dino thing to watch that isn't Jurassic Park, may I recommend the History Channel's Jurassic Fight Club. Though I doubt they had their own Project Mayhem.
I saw an advert for that. I may have to check that out. May not be the best for my little man although he is addictive to THE MOST EXTREME countdown on the Animal Planet. Not the most kid friendly show but it is awesome when he mimics the Announcer. Classic.
