Get FIRED UP FOR: April!!!!

Yipes, these keep getting later and later for some reason. April is here bringing it’s perpetual showers which in turn are supposed to bring Mayflowers. Yes Pilgrims, they’re coming again heathens, be prepared! With the looming pilgrim invasion in mind, here are some things to enjoy in your last month of glorious, extravagant excess and squalor:

Movies- Observe & Report (April 10)- From Jody Hill and Seth Rogen comes this blackish comedy. Apparently it’s darker than it seems in the trailers, which seem hilarious to me. But it’s been getting crazy good buzz and I think seeing Mr. Rogen in a different role would be a nice change of pace. WOW me Rogen. Wow ME.

TV- My Boys- This little show on TBS has one of the cutest actresses on TV today and she also happens to play one of the coolest girls on TV as well. The cast is rounded out by her 5 friends (1 female, 4 male) and her brother (the totally amazing Jim Gaffigan, BACON). The show uses sports analogies as the “lesson” for the show and packs it full of jokes. I think part of the reason I like this show is because of the aforementioned leading lady, but a big part is because the friendships remind me of my friendships. They constantly rip on each other but you can tell they do it because they genuinely care about each other. I’m into that.

Music- Art Brut’s Art Brut vs. Satan- I’m not gonna lie I kinda chose this because of its’ title. How awesome is that title? Also Art Brut have made some really fun super quick blasts of songs. But how great is that title?

Guilty Pleasure- Tinted Windows’ Tinted Windows- The lineup of this band is the following: Smashing Pumpkins’ James Iha, Cheap Trick’s Bun E. Carlos, Hanson’s Taylor Hanson and Fountains Of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger. What? Yes. I have no idea. It’s like a semi-bizarro world supergroup. If the absolute craziest person in the world chose 4 people to form a band, I’m not sure it’d get any stranger than this one. Color me excited to hear some Tinted Windows. I have absolutely no idea what to expect.

So there ya go, before you succumb to the puritanical ways of our future past invaders, a few nuggets of the month for you to enjoy. Anything you’re looking forward to this month?
