    Thanks so much for linking to me. And more importantly, thanks for compiling all this stuff. I've been bad about keeping up with the blogosphere...but there's so much you miss out on by doing that. Lots of talented writers and interesting viewpoints.

      @Dusty McGowan: No problem! I miss out on a lot too in the blogosphere, impossible to follow everything going on in the LAMB community. I just link to the articles that I've stumbled upon and are of interest to me. I agree, lots of talented writers and interesting viewpoints.

    Thanks for the link. Right now, the new My Bloody Valentine is my favorite record of the year. I've been listening to it endlessly. I don't know if I'll have a review of the album out.

    The new Nick Cave I do like as well as the new records by the Joy Formidable and Atoms for Peace. 2013 looks like it will be a good year for music.

      @thevoid99: You're welcome!

      The new My Bloody Valentine LP had a few tracks I liked: New You, is this and yes, in another way.

      Glad you like Nick Cave album as well, I could see that being on my year-end list. I haven't yet listened to Joy Formidable and Atoms for Peace, thanks for the suggestions.

    @Pete: Comedy can be a love it or hate it thing. I Give It a Year (2013) has a 68% rating on rotten tomatoes so far, so not everybody disliked it :)

    I've been sort of out of touch with the blogosphere recently (my google reader has 1000+ unread posts) that I'll never catch up with, so thanks for this.

      @Bonjour Tristesse: I recently unfollowed about 50% the blogs I was following. Now I can actually keep up with my google reader, and don’t have to plow through lots of posts I’m uninterested in. Blogger doesn't make it easy to unfollow,I found a different way. Might be of use to you:

      Yeah I stopped using the followers widget to follow blogs a long time ago for that very reason.

      Now I just paste URLs directly into Google Reader and it makes it easy to stop following at a later date.

    Thanks for the mention Chris. I just got done watching Rear Window and Vertigo back to back today. Two awesome pieces that have continued to increase my admiration for Hitchcock. Both reviews coming soon!
    I'm also preparing something prior to the Oscars, even though I'm not sure how big or small the scope will be.
    Looking forward to your next post.

    @niels85: No problem! Vertigo is amazing, I can watch that every 5 years. I still have a good number of Hitchcock blind spots myself.

    Looking forward to the oscars, even though most of the categories seem to be a foregone conclusion.

What do you think about the post? I look forward to hearing from you. Rest assured I will reply soon.
