Careless Love
I was shopping at Barnes and Noble tonight and I heard a song they were playing that sounded vaugely familiar. I listened to the lyrics a little more closely: "...I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you there..."

That's Elliot Smith's "Between the Bars", but it sounded like it was being sung by Billie Holiday.

I did a little research and found out it was a cover by Madeleine Peyroux on her CD Careless Love (here's another review).

I liked it, so I might check out her stuff if I remember. If you like Elliot Smith, you should try to hear that song.

Top Overlooked Films of the 1990s
Via Triptych Cryptic, The Online Film Critics Society's "Top 100 Overlooked Films of the 1990s".

Some interesting choices on the list. Guess the OFCS is from Rotten Tomatoes.

List of Bests is interesting too. Everyone loves lists.

Radiohead
I never thought the funniest thing I'd ever read about Radiohead would come from a cartoon bear:

Thom and Radiohead hit the big-time right out of college and apparently their mentality is suspended in the early-20s aspic: a lush death-ambrosia of emotional fear, inability to use Microsoft Excel, and terror at the prospect of waking up the next day lest they be a robot with a large black rubber differential instead of a neck.
