As 2009 comes to an end I can’t help but look forward to the films of 2010. Here are a few selections as highlighted by the AVClub:
Iron Man 2 (May 7) 2007’s Iron Man was a surprise smash hit, with Robert Downey Jr. fitting comfortably into the metal suit. It’s almost a shame this next iteration might suffer from inflated expectations. Still, it’s hard not to get excited about Downey...

It's About Time 2010 Got Here Mix
Yes, this is just another year-end list. Every year I put together a mix of my favorite songs. And this year I spent a little less time finding new artists like I have over the past few years. PS - I make this mix to highlight artists you may have missed (hence no Jay Z on the list since I feel like everyone knows his songs). Without further ado, My 2009 Mix. Check out the whole list after the...

Band of The Decade As Chosen By Aaron Long →
Brand New
It’s often dangerous to hold a band you love up. To put so much stock in what they do, and so much hope for what they will do next, but at each point in the evolution of Brand New they have lived up to and surpassed those expectations. It could simply be that me, and the others who dwell within the cult of Brand New happen to come upon the band at a time when their music spoke to us,...

Proverbs for the Future
Her writing is so lovely. Such a unique and amazing voice.
Anne Herbert was a gifted writer who edited CoEvolution Quarterly (the periodic magazine of the Whole Earth Catalog) before I did in the early 1980s. We never worked together, or were close friends, but I really dug her writing. It was telegraphic, lyrical, abbreviated, evocative, extremely personal and mystical. She wrote in short...

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
Truth (see below)
Therein lies the best career advice I could possibly dispense: just DO things. Chase after the things that interest you and make you happy. Stop acting like you have a set path, because you don’t. No one does. You shouldn’t be trying to check off the boxes of life; they aren’t real and they were created by other people, not you. There is no explicit path...
