library trip!!!

Sep 17, 2010 17:40

Okay, I think I'm gonna start doing posts about what I check out at the library and some of the adventures I have in that building of mystery and murderknowledge.



My library has an interesting selection of multimedia to choose from. Books, audio books, CDs, DVDs and of course, more books. Let us delve into my slightly insane, highly informative selections today:



DVD - An Introduction to Scientology

HAHAHAHAHA More like an introduction to insanity and couch jumping! I'm honestly seriously interested in the mythology and culture of cults. I mean, cult IS a small and scary version of culture, after all. Can't ignore etymology (thanks Mrs. Braden...) and the facts are I like to make fun of it insanely, so I must acquaint myself with the insanity.

I've read the Left Behind series and a few books on escape stories involving the FLDS (Church of Fundamental Latter Day Saints, ie - those polygamist fucks) and I thoroughly enjoyed both subjects. I have a twisted fetish for delving into the things I find abhorrent and taking away from the experience more ammo to use against these strange, misguided people. I've even read through the God Hates Fags website and actually joined the Ann Coulter blog site in high school (boy...now THAT was a wienie shrinker).

This introduction into craziness should be interesting. I am eager to find out just what makes otherwise intelligent celebrities jump on the golden bandwagon of anti-antidepressants.



DVD - Is Walmart Good For America?

The answer, of course, is no, but this is like...the exact opposite of my previous selection. I love being told about things I KNOW are true. Walmart is a terrible corporation that prays on poor people and an unhealthy American lifestyle of MOREMOREMORECHEAPERCHEAPERCHEAPER. It exaserbates the cycle of buying cheap, non-recyclable products which break or are discarded after one use, and then the need to replace them with the same quality merchandise because you didn't save your money for something two bucks more expensive that'll last two years longer. IMHO.



CD - Eclipse: OST

Well, it was in the new selections, and check out some of the kick-ass contributing artists:

Metric - Eclipse (All Yours)
Muse - Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)
The Bravery - Ours
Florence and the Machine - Heavy in Your Arms
Sia - My Love
Fanfarlo - Atlas
The Black Keys - Chop and Change
The Dead Weather - Rolling in on a Burning Tire
Beck & Bat For Lashes - Let's Get Lost
Vampire Weekend - Jonathan Low
Unkle feat. the Black Angels - With You in my Head
Eastern Conference Champions - A Million Miles an Hour
Band of Horses - Life on Earth
Cee Lo Green - What Part of Forever
Howard Shore - Jacob's Theme
executive producer: Livia Tortella
produced by Alexandra and Paul Katz

The bolded artists are who caught my eye that I was especially excited about, but the real surprise was METRIC!! My baby is all grown up!!! Doing major movie soundtracks in America :D Awwww makes an indie boy proud. Really excited to hear the Florence song and just now listening to the collab Beck & BFL track...very nice. Loving it.

It's public knowledge that Stephanie Meyers has bomb music tastes, dedicating at least one of her books to the inspiration of Muse, so it's no wonder at the stellar list of artists here. Should be a good listen!!

Have you gone to the library recently? Check out anything good?

So far in 2010 I've saved over a thousand dollars just by going to the library.
