Five Reasons to Love Claire from “Elizabethtown”
Despite the negative reviews, Cameron Crowe’s “Elizabethtown” is one of my favorite movies. I love the scenery, I appreciate the eccentricity of the script and it has one of my all-time favorite movie soundtracks (and scores). Sure, Orlando Bloom’s acting … Continue reading
Shovels & Rope – “Birmingham”
Kinda in love with this song. Especially 1:18.

The show will cost you a mere 10 dollars. Please, please go see him. He’s great.
