Canadians, Crows, and Cooder

Musical notes and singing digitized and phyiscally embedded onto a shiny surface for playback.

Carry Me Back by Old Crow Medicine Show.  Allmusic.com reviewer says: It isn't easy straddling two different centuries with one's sound and style, but Old Crow Medicine Show pull it off once again on their fourth studio album, the Ted Hutt-produced Carry Me Back, a ragged, breakneck romp that crackles with more energy than a thrash band on Red Bull.

Antennas to Hell by Slipknot.  I thought "attennas" had an extra "e" in it.  Metal guys play metal music.  Booklet has blood and guts imagery.

Spark Seeker by Matisyahu.  Reggae rapper from New York.

Election Special by Ry Cooder.  Cooder complains on politics.

Audiobook on CD

Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny.  11 CDs at 13.5 hours.  Quebec cop Inspector Gamache investigate a murdered monk.

DVD

Headshot starring [Thais and guns].  Policeman is blackmailed and "becomes disillusioned by the state of human nature", starts killing people for pay, shaves his head, sees things upside-down.



Le Havre starring [French].  Shoe shiner in Le Havre takes in a stowaway boy who stranded in the port town.



Moonrise Kingdom starring Bill Murray.  Two 12-year-olds run away for the summer.  Adults look.

Walking Dead: the complete second season starring [actors].  Zombies walk around and eat people.  Non-zombies try to escape.
