i need to see this ...

living in baltimore has its perks like natty bohs, cheap rent, the ottobar, and a new mayor in the beginning of february. but living in charm city has its draw backs for sure, and in terms of draw backs right behind our astronomical murder rate comes the fact that we are a secondary market for movie releases.

this means that when you read reviews online or in papers like the times or the post you get excited for a movie that you inevitably have to wait months to see. i am currently in this purgatory like situation with the new film, 'crazy heart'. i mean this movie looks like it has it all. the washed out boozed soaked troubadour who has seen it all, the dust covered southwest usa where tough life exists and soft stories permeate, robert fucking duval, and a soundtrack that has a new ryan bingham track! it seems like the pairing of bingham and bridges in this film is like a nice braised short rib and a smooth barolo.

i want to see this right now but i have to wait. and it kills me, but i think i can hold out for a little bit knowing that this oscar studded film will live up to its musical and theatrical hype ...

here is the trailer




and here is a taste of bingham ... 'tell my mother i miss her so' off of ryan bingham & the dead horses 'roadhouse sun'. also check out 'mescalito' one hell of an album

happy new year ... take 7:49 out of your day for this one

stumbled upon this the other day ... enjoy.
