March 2013: Music & Movies

This month in music listening and movie watching, with patent-pending two-word reviews:

MUSIC
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: Specter At The Feast – not bountiful
Son Volt: Honky Tonk – surprising simplicity
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Push The Sky Away – bad goodness
The Flaming Lips: The Terror – hookless weirdness
The Pilgrims: It’s Not Pretty – fun rock

MOVIES
Jiro Dreams of Sushi – unreal dedication
Argo – unrelenting tension
Wrath of the Titans – unrelenting ridiculousness
Visioneers – uneven dystopia
Friends With Kids – NYC-centered familiarity
Project X – bacchanalian bullshit
The Cabin in the Woods – fun ride
