Start of a New Year

It seems like every year I start a new blog.  Last year it was the photo blog that barely made it a month.  This one, I think, may be a bit of a better fit for me.

Books & Bones. . . what does that even mean?  It means I'll be doing reviews that get right down to the core of things. . . often harsh, overlooking the pretty stuff that may not have anything to do with the quality of a book, or movie, or album.  Getting down to the bare bones of what something is.

Music and Movies won't pose much problem. . . I work in a store that supplies me an infinite number of both (I'll be reviewing everything from the Criterion cuts of I Am Curious - Yellow & Blue to Transformers to terrible trailers. . . even TV on DVD. . . heck, even TV on TV when it comes back).

Books, on the other hand, my undeniable passion (I do have an English Literature BA after all), well, in 2008 I want to get back to reading as much as possible.  Not a difficult task with the seemingly neverending writer's strike threatening the future of my mid-season favorites Lost and Battlestar Gallactica (eep!)

Basically, anything pop culture and media related is fair game.  Upcoming reviews will include:

I Love You, Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle

Flight of the Conchords - Season One

The Frank Warren Lecture (creator of Post Secret, presenting at the Winnipeg Art Gallery)

and many. . . many. . . MANY CD reviews.
