Lastly, I saw the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There last weekend and I have to say I was unsure of it at first. I believe I was expecting a normal Hollywood story of his life a la Walk The Line or Ray, however after getting over this realization within the first half-hour (it's two and a half hours long) I was quite pleasantly disappointed. I really think it was one of the best music-based films I've ever seen, it was so refreshing in a way that I can't even describe. Alas, the soundtrack was possibly the very best part of the film.

Jack Johnson, Stephen Malkmus, Los Lobos, Sonic Youth, Jeff Tweedy (amazing), Black Keys, and my personal favorite, Jim James & Calexico performing one of the best Dylan tunes ever: Goin' To Acapulco. It was a show stopper, the entire scene featuring this song--not to mention the fact that Jim and Calexico were in the damn movie to perform it--was by far the best 10 minutes of the movie based on this part alone for myself.

Finals week is upon me (and most everyone in the nation) and I must get back to studying for Microbiology and Physics tomorrow and Thursday respectively. Thankfully
