New Music with a Finn
Rock
I'll Be Lightning by Liam Finn. Finn is touring with the old man's band. In Milwaukee Liam did a solo opening act with his computer and played about five songs. I'm hoping to see his uncle Wednesday evening in Milwaukee.
In Rainbows by Radiohead. Is this the album the band was selling exclusively online?
Grammy Nominees 2008 with Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, U2, others.
White Chalk by PJ Harvey. Polly Jean's latest release.
The Reminder by Feist. Canadian girl sells song to Apple and makes it huge.
MJB by Mary J. Blige. Tattooed singer sings songs. I'm not sure if I've heard heard her sing unless is was in the background of a soundtrack.
Country
Dirt Farmer by Levon Helm. Helm looks like he must have smoked two packs a day for the past 40 years. The disc is supposed to be very good.
Dwight Sings Buck by Dwight Yoakam. Bakersfield resident Dwight sings the Bakersfield Sound songs of Bakersfield resident Buck Owens.

DVDs with Bollywood, Zombie Sheep, Jovovich and Saws
When Hearts Collide starring Sonali Bendre and Kunal. College student gal meets guy over internet. But, she is arranged to marry a rich dude. "Will the power of love be enough to overcome family obligations and pressures?" We own no other Bollywood picture and I figured to give one a try.
Naked Prey starring Cornel Wilde. Maybe you saw this on AMC. A safari expedition is captured by a hostile African tribe. All but one are tortured and kill. The one survivor is stripped of his clothes and set running for some warriors to chase and kill for sport. Their sporting prey turns out to be more dangerous than simple-minded game.
Here is a tidbit from the DVD booklet that you may have missed when watching the movie. That orphan is a girl. Not a boy.
Resident Evil: extinction starring Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Ali Larter. Alice and her friends make a last stand against the undead in a dead Las Vegas that has been abandoned to the desert.
Saw III starring Angus MacFayden. People are captured, tortured and killed. Jigsaw has disappeared with his apprentice but soon returns.
Saw IV starring Darren Lynn Bousman. A captured policeman has 90 minutes to "overcome a series of traps and save an old fried...or face the deadly consequences."
Damages: the complete first season starring Glenn Close, Ted Danson, Rose Byrne. Recent law graduate Ellen joins big-time firm of Patty and is involved in class-action lawsuit against a wealthy CEO. Murder comes next.
No End in Sight: Iraq's descent into chaos. "The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy. No End in Sight is a jaw-dropping insider's tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003."
Black Sheep starring Nathan Meister (and other people you never heard of). The bucolic farmland of New Zealand turns red. Henry returns to the family sheep farm to sell his share of the farm. In Henry's absence his brother has been genetically altering the animals. The altered sheep go on a flesh eating rampage across the countryside. ZOMBIE SHEEP!
