I've come to a point where finding new music that I actually like is rare. Some of my friends keep talking about all these new bands, and honestly every fucking one of them sound the exact same to me. I have over 700 songs on my iPod now, and hardly any of them are from recent musicians (except for new releases by my long-time favorites such as U2 and Green Day). When was the last time I got into someone new and felt really excited by it? Was it the first time I heard PJ Harvey, several years ago? God, I'm turning into such a music snob....

On a different note, I watched Sideways again last night for the first time since I saw it on opening day in the theater. I swear, watching Miles is like seeing a window into my future, 25 years from now. That's a little disconcerting. But I do have to (once again) give credit to Paul Giamatti. He can create an entire character with just one facial expression, and everything down from the body posture to his tonal inflections will be in tune with that for the rest of the movie. Amidst all the "hot, young movie STARS" of the day, Paul Giamatti is one of the best ACTORS working on the screen today. To hell with the Oscars for not putting him up for Best Actor.
