IN SHORT: September 2009
You know the drill but indulge me for a little reminder here….
We know, for example, that fans prize souvenirs — a tactile take-away that reminds you of the feeling you have when listening to music. It’s kind of like what we’re doing with The Daily Dose — further enhancing the “sensory experience” with rock ‘n roll wine and cheese picks so as to emphasize “more than music.” Certainly, a recommendation isn’t exactly “tactile,” but it does bring us closer, drawing upon multiple aesthetic experiences and uniting them in one place. So, perhaps upon purchasing the wine or cheese of the day, upon tasting them, you’ll conjure up the associated songs, thereby giving the taste an added, well, taste.
All of that, the long way of saying: multiple aesthetic experiences rule the day. And things that you associate with music are likely the same things other people (who like the same music as you) might be curious about. It’s a Tribes-thing.
Hence, this month’s semi-random compendium:
Perhaps one for everyone you know this Christmas? Plus they have action figures, star mugs (sans Jim and Dwight), Office Clue… it was really hard for me to not buy one of everything. And it’s totally overpriced. I don’t care.
Ladies, it’s kind of irresistible. The furry casing complete with cat tail. I love love love it.
3. Empire, My New Favorite
No news here of course but all summer, we’ve been on a retro-blockbuster binge here at Outlandos HQ, to maintain sanity during all that insistent soggy weather. Highly recommend it.
Empire appeared late on the list and it had been ages since I’d seen it. So for the millionth time, we watched.
Of the three (let’s face it, Episodes I – III might as well not exist) this one always bummed me out. As it was supposed to. But as a little girl, it was the scary one and the sad one and the gory one (at the time, Luke losing a hand was gory to me). Now, it’s the one I love the most. Imperial Walkers, Laugh it up, fuzzball, that hot, hot, Han Solo kiss. If only they could get rid of that dreadful added footage.
