Sound and Vision (apologies to Bowie)

Music CDs - there are more titles waiting on new CD cases to arrive.

High School Musical 2: non-stop dance party. Dance remixes from the second movie. In the kid section.

High School Musical 2: soundtrack. The original soundtrack, also downstairs.

American Gangster by Jay-Z. Rapper dude raps. I'm not sure if I've heard any of his tunes or not.

Double Wide and Live by Southern Culture on the Skids (SCOTS). SCOTS is known for being a live band. I've never seen them live so I figured I'd buy this one. I have Dirt Track Date sitting around if anyone wants to borrow it.

Definitive Collection, 1983-1987 by Steve Earle. Lake Mills does NOT have this collection by roots rocker Earle. But, you can reserve it on our catalog and Germantown Public Library will send it over. How does a fat, balding, old, junkie like Earle get a pretty, young wife like Allison Moorer? Earle has a radio show on Sirius satellite radio and, I just found out, has a small role on HBO's The Wire.

DVD

Blonde Ambition starring Jessica Simpson, Luke Wilson, Andy Dick. Judging from the back cover's synopsis this is a remake of Legally Blonde. Ditzy Oklahoma blonde visits boyfriend in New York. Blonde finds boyfriend with other girl. Blonde gets big job and new boyfriend as "revenge".

GamePlan starring Dwayne Johnson, Kyra Sedgewick, NFL quaterback with massive ego is suddenly saddled with his previously unknown 8-year-old daughter.

Inside Man starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe. A highly planned bank robbery falls apart into a hostage situation.

Once. Once is on several best of the year lists for 2007. Follows an Irish guitarist and keyboardist who spontaneously team up for a week and write songs together.

Oswald's Ghost. "How could someone as inconsequential as Lee Harvey oswald have killed someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?" Forty years of obsession over the assassination is studied by PBS' American Experience.
