When asked in an interview by British newspaper The Daily Mirror about how she would describe her music, Bareilles said, "I guess I would say it's piano-based pop/soul," and said she listened to a lot of early soul and jazz when making the album.

Because of You
"Because of You" is a song recorded by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson for her second studio album,Breakaway (2004). It was written by Clarkson along with its producers David Hodges and Ben Moody. It was released on August 16, 2005 by RCA Records, as the third single from Breakaway. Clarkson originally wrote "Because of You" when she was 16 years old to cope with the emotional distress caused by her parents' divorce. She wanted the song to be included on her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), but her record label thought that it was not suitable to be included in the album. She then polished the song with Hodges and Moody before successfully convincing her label to include it on Breakaway. Lyrically, "Because of You" explores the pain of a deteriorating relationship. Critics noted that the lyrics are Clarkson's ode to her father. The song begins with a piano-led melody and as it launches into the chorus, the sound of a roaring guitar becomes apparent. Critically, "Because of You" garnered positive reviews by music critics, who praised its expressive lyrics, creative arrangement and Clarkson's vocal prowess. It became Clarkson's most successful single around the world; in the United States, it peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 1.5 million digital downloads.
Love Song
"Love Song" is American singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles' breakout single, released in June 2007 off her major-label debut album, Little Voice (2007). It was nominated for 2009 Grammy Awards in the categories Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It remains Bareilles' biggest hit single in the United States to date, and remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for 41 weeks. Many consider it her breakout song due to it being her first hit and selling more than any other song by Bareilles. In 2011, she explained why she wrote it, saying, "it was actually written for my record label. I had been turning in new music. I was getting the red light. I couldn't go into the studio yet because they were waiting for something. But nobody said what they were waiting for. So I kept turning in new songs, thinking like, 'Is this what you want? Is this what you want?' And it was always a big thumbs down, and I ended up writing 'Love Song' out of frustration." In 2014, she stated it was "very tongue-in-cheek" and "nasty in a passive-aggressive way," confirming it was a response to the record label pressuring her to make safe, "radio friendly" songs.
Chasing Pavements
"Chasing Pavements" is a song by English soul singer-songwriter Adele, from her debut album 19 (2008). It was the second single from the album, after "Hometown Glory". "Chasing Pavements" won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Grammy Award for Song of the Year. The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months. After learning he had cheated on her, she approached him at a bar he was at and became violent with him. After being thrown out of the bar, Adele walked down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She quickly sang and recorded the beginning of the song on her mobile phone and arranged the chords once she arrived back home.
Love Story
"Love Story" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was released in September of 2008 by Big Machine Records, as the lead single from Swift's second studio album Fearless (2008). The song was written about a love interest of Swift's who was not popular among Swift's family and friends. Because of the scenario, Swift related to the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597). However, she replaced Romeo and Juliet 's original tragic conclusion with a happy ending. When describing her inspiration for the song, Swift said Romeo and Juliet interested her because "the only people who wanted them to be together were them." The song was a success with critics, with reviewers complimenting Swift's writing style and the song's plot. It was also a commercial success, selling over 8 million copies worldwide, therefore establishing itself among the best-selling singles of all time.
Hey, Soul Sister
"Hey, Soul Sister" is the lead single from the American rock band Train's fifth studio album, Save Me, San Francisco (2009). The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is Train's highest charting song to date. After collaborating with the Norwegian production duo Espionage in the writing and recording of the track "Brick by Brick", Train's lead singer Pat Monahan decided to record another track with the duo. The song is a mid-tempo pop song characterized by a signature pattern played on a ukulele. Lyrically, the song was inspired by what Pat Monahan, the band's lead vocalist, imagined attending the festival Burning Man to be like. When asked about the inspiration for the song, band member Jimmy Stafford said, "Pat had never been to Burning Man, but he had an image in his head of what it must be like. All these beautiful women dancing around the fire. That was the imagery he conjured up when he was writing the lyrics to, 'Hey, Soul Sister.'"
Bad Romance
"Bad Romance" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third extended play, The Fame Monster (2009). It was written and produced by Gaga and RedOne. Lyrically, "Bad Romance" explores Gaga's attraction to individuals with whom romance never works, her preference for lonely relationships and the paranoia she experienced while on tour. Following an illegal demo leak, Gaga showcased the final product at Alexander McQueen's show at the Paris Fashion Week in October 2009, followed by the release of the single's cover art. Musically, "Bad Romance" features a spoken bridge, a full-throated chorus and sung lyrics about being in love with one's best friend. The song, which is imbued with elements of Germanesque house and techno, as well music from 1980s and the 1990s, was touted by Gaga as an experimental pop record.

It was released as the first promotional single from his debut studio release, My World (2009). An electropop song, which also contains dance-pop and R&B music, the chorus interpolates the 1996 single "Lovefool" by the Swedish band The Cardigans. "Love Me" was one of the most well received tracks on the album, with critics complimenting its electro and club feel, and its usage of the "Lovefool" sample.
"Hero" is a single from Enrique Iglesias' second English album Escape (2001) written by Iglesias himself along with Paul Barry and Mark Taylor. Iglesias first released the song to radio in early September 2001 to a positive critical and commercial reception. After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the song was one of the few songs chosen by radio DJs in New York to be remixed with audio from police, firefighters, civilians at Ground Zero and politicians commenting on the attacks. He was asked to sing the song live at the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes ten days after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Iglesias broadcast his performance from a warehouse in New York alongside Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and Sheryl Crow. The location of the warehouse was kept secret in case of further attacks. It was Iglesias's first televised performance of the song.
You and Me

"Everything" is a Grammy Award-nominated single, recorded by Canadian singer Michael Bublé and released as the lead single from his third major-label studio album, Call Me Irresponsible (2007). Unlike the characteristic big band sound of Bublés previous material, the song carries an adult contemporary sound with its piano and acoustic guitar. Bublé wrote the lyrics of "Everything" for his then girlfriend Emily Blunt. He later explained, "I wrote the song about the great happiness of real love, but at the same time I was making a statement about the world. We're living in really crazy times, and I wanted to say that no matter what's happening, this person in my life is what really makes it worthwhile." With its elements of pop and rock, "Everything" presents a new, modern feel from Bublé. A piano and an acoustic guitar carry the main melody of the song, with electric guitars audible in the chorus.
Big Girls Don't Cry
"Big Girls Don't Cry" is a song recorded by American singer Fergie for her debut studio album, The Dutchess (2006).

"Big Girls Don't Cry" deviates from the hip-hop and urban music of Fergie's previous singles and opts for a more simplistic pop sound that incorporates acoustic and classical elements. The critical reception of "Big Girls Don't Cry" was positive, with many praising the maturity and simplicity displayed on the single as well as the message. Lyrically, the song talks about moving on from the pain of divorce. "Big Girls Don't Cry" was a commercial success domestically, attaining the top position on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Apologize" is a song written by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder for OneRepublic's debut album Dreaming Out Loud (2006). Lyrically, the song alludes to the heartbreak from an apology made too late.

"Fireflies" is the incredibly catchy debut single from Owl City's album Ocean Eyes (2009). Relient K vocalist Matt Thiessen is featured as a guest vocalist on the song. Adam Young, the musician behind Owl City, described the song as "A little song about bugs and not being able to fall asleep at night."

Bad Romance
"Bad Romance" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third extended play, The Fame Monster (2009). It was written and produced by Gaga and RedOne.

I Can Only Imagine
"I Can Only Imagine" (sometimes shortened to "Imagine") is a ballad recorded by Christian rock band MercyMe. Written and composed by the band's lead vocalist Bart Millard, the song was inspired by the death of Millard's father. Through the song's lyrics, Millard considers what it would be like in Heaven and to be standing before God. Millard, alone on a bus in the middle of the night, wrote the lyrics to the song by drawing on his thoughts and personal faith. Millard attests that "['I Can Only Imagine'] is one of the only songs I have ever written where there wasn't any mistakes, it was just written the way it is and left at that", and estimated that it took him only ten minutes to write the lyrics.

When asked about her inspiration for writing the song, Caillat said: "I didn't write "Bubbly" for any [special] guy.

Five years after floodwaters breached New Orleans levees following Hurricane Katrina, actor Brad Pitt is speaking out on how city residents have coped with the devastation and on his efforts to help "make it right" for those who hail from one of the storm's most ravaged neighborhoods.
"There's still a lot of psychological scarring, especially with kids," Pitt told NBC's Brian Williams from the Lower Ninth Ward, where the actor's "Make it Right Foundation" is working to construct 150 eco-friendly homes for those whose structures were destroyed after Katrina.
The "Fight Club" star has commissioned 21 architects to build about 50 homes so far, Williams reported for NBC Nightly News on Friday.
Community residents have helped with the design of the homes and choose their colors, Pitt said.
"These people are resilient. The spirit is alive and well," he said. "I see them having barbecues in the back and I'm thrilled."
In an interview for the Times-Picayune earlier this week, Pitt said that he first fell in love with New Orleans in 1994 while shooting "Interview with a Vampire."
"It got under my skin. Everything was sexy and sultry. I'd ride my bike all over the place, amazed by the architecture," Pitt told his interviewer, the historian Douglas Brinkley.
When the hurricane struck on Aug. 29, 2005, Pitt was in Calgary, Canada shooting a film. He said he felt "gutted" watching people stranded on rooftops from his TV set.
"My instinct said that we have to find a way for those people to find a road home. New homes were clearly going to be needed," Pitt said.
In 2006, he started "Make it Right" and has since bought a home of his own in the French Quarter.
Speaking to NBC's Williams, Pitt said the more he researched the way the city's levy's walls were poorly built and maintained the more angry he became.
"This place that are standing right now there were over 1,500 deaths. That was unnecessary," Pitt said. "That should not have happened. I got angry. I got really angry."
Pitt said he chose the Lower Ninth Ward to try to make a difference because "because it was iconic of everything that was wrong with the rescue, the recovery."
But he said devastated areas still exist all over Louisiana.
"I wish we could do more."

New Berlin Bowl (160th & Cleveland) is a great fun location. My kids absolutely love it. They have great automatic bumpers for bowling, along with the New Berlin Ale House attached to the bowling facility. This is the building that used to be Kuglitsch's and AMF New Berlin. Completely remodeled!!

Freestyle Music in the Bronx
Freestyle music is enjoying its 8th year at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx. Produced by Sal Abbatiello of Fever Records, "Forever Freestyle 8," featuring Stevie B, Lisa Lisa., TKA'K7, Safire, Johnny O, Cynthia, Lydia Lee Love, Nayobe, Sammy Zone and Fonda Rae will bring Latin dance music to the stage on Saturday, March 1, at 8:00 p.m.
I had a chance to talk with singer, songwriter and producer Stevie B about the Forever Freestyle 8 tour, his career and creative projects. "I am pretty much always on tour. We start from the West coast and work our way up northern California coastline where we go with the Free Style Explosion. Then we will head east. There is a large following, especially Latin American following that love freestyle music. We are giving them what they have been accustomed to for the last 27 years," claimed Stevie B.
Although some of the dance clubs have dwindled, people are still longing for the dance era. "Dance music is returning. You have new kids coming into the music but folks are longing for the old sound of free style disco dance music. People are passing the music down the family line with folks introducing the music to their kids and their kid's kids. Sometimes I am amazed how young the audience is that is listening to our music," explained the Latin singer of the music genre that had its zenith in the 1980s.
Freestyle which was often referred to as Latin hip hop began in the Bronx, taking root in the underground hip hop dance music scene. The music was fused with funky rhythms of first generation electro, Latin sounds, ballads, hip hop and pop. It spread throughout the Latin communities in New York and Miami and for a time took over the dance club scene.
Stevie B became a hot commodity. Born in Miami, Stevie B lived in NY for a while, but has dwelled in California for the last 30 years. He wanted to sing and started off in a high school band. He opened up his own studio in 1986-87. His interest in music led him to listen to artists like TKA and Shannon. "The first song I did was "Party Your Body." I was looking for someone to sing but couldn't find anyone so I started laying down the tracks myself, recalled Stevie B, who's hits included "I Wanna Be the One," "In My Eyes" and "Love Me For Life." Also known as the "King of Freestyle," Stevie B is perhaps best known for his ballad "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" from 1990's Love & Emotion. His hit "Party Your Body" went Gold as a single and the LP went platinum.
"I am always writing and creating music but I have been writing my autographical book for the last 13 years. It contains 13 chapters about an hour long. I've finished the audio book and it was scored like a movie. There is 13 hours of listening to my life story. It will be out by springtime. The audio will come with the book which is called "The Journey of the Perfect Man." It's in hardback and I sell it almost everywhere I go but now that the airlines charge so much money it's harder to carry the books with me. So now I will have the distributors forward to the venues where I appear. People can also listen to the digital on their phone, Ipads and computers," said the recent author who is a huge hit in Brazil. "I met my wife in Brazil the first day I went there. My relationship with Brazil has been mind boggling for the last 22 years. The Brazilians love every inch of Freestyle music," claimed the singer/author who is also working on the movie script of his life story.
Interested parties can find out more about Stevie B on his website www.StevieBmusic.com. Also for tickets to the Lehman Center Forever Freestyle 8 concert on March 1st call the Lehman Center box office at 718-960-8833 or online at www.LehmanCenter.org.

When I learned through
the presses Twitter that Krista Simmons, my one-time (OK, one issue) editor, would be a judge on the upcoming season of Top Chef Masters, I was ecstatic that someone that I know, love and respect would get her enormous food TV cred. Wednesday night was a special night dedicated to her current Bravo Top Chef Masters stint, and pretty much the entire food community was there to support. The love was not lost on our star:
"I've wanted to have a cooking show ever since I was a little girl, so the experience of taping Top Chef Masters was sort of surreal. Getting to work with James Oseland, Ruth Reichl and Francis Lam really helped me grow as an on-camera personality as well as in my writing. But the best part of the whole process has been receiving the outpour of support from the LA food community. I can't believe how many people came out last night! I feel so lucky to be part of such a talented group of industry professionals here in LA."
-Krista Simmons
Truth be told, I missed the boxing-themed episode with Sugar Ray Leonard also as a judge at the "viewing" party. Of course, it was because I relied on my DVR to pick up the slack while we caught up with old friends and celebrated with new cocktails from Library Bar and bites from Public Kitchen. Good thing she's on plenty of episodes this season (the more space on my DVR dedicated to friends' appearances, the better) – so be sure and catch her on Top Chef Masters Season 4!!

Governor to sign measure for cold-blooded creature (hold your jokes, please)
Gov. John Hickenlooper will be surrounded by Denver students Friday when he signs a bill making the western tiger salamander the official state amphibian.
House Bill 12-1147 is a result of a coalition of students from several Denver public and private schools, including Steck and Westerly Creek Elementary, the Bill Roberts K-8 School, George Washington High School and Stanley British Primary School.
They took their salamander idea to two Denver Democrats, Joyce Foster and Angela Williams. And now the salamander is about to join other official state symbols, including the state fish, state grass and state bird.
The bill signing will be in the governor's office at 11:30 a.m. Friday.

With the release last month of its report on Violent Television Programming and Its Impact on Children, the FCC teed up the issue of regulating televised violence and tossed it over to Congress with a recommendation that lawmakers go ahead and swing for the fences. And Congress appears ready to oblige, although not necessarily in the way some at the FCC had originally envisioned.
You will recall that FCC Chairman Kevin Martin used the FCC's violence report as another opportunity to engage in his monomaniacal, Moby Dick-like quest to impose a la carte regulation on cable and satellite operators. Martin argued that "Requiring cable and satellite television providers to offer programming in a more a la carte manner would be a more content neutral means for Congress to regulate violent programming and therefore would raise fewer constitutional issues." But it doesn't appear that the chairman is going to get his whale this time around.
Ted Hearn of Multichannel News reported yesterday that the bill that Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) is ready to introduce in the Senate on this front will not include language imposing a la carte regulatory regime on cable and satellite operators. For reasons that remain unclear, Sen. Rockefeller is opposed to the concept.
But that doesn't mean that cable and satellite operators are off the hook. Overall, the new bill is expected to look a lot like a similar measure that Rockefeller floated along with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) in the last Congress. That bill, S. 616, the "Indecent and Gratuitous and Excessively Violent Programming Control Act of 2005," proposed a significant expansion of the FCC's powers in terms of regulating both "indecent" and "violent" programming. So much so that when I wrote about the proposal in this 2005 PFF white paper, I concluded that it represented "the most significant congressional effort to regulate speech since the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996."
It appears that the new Senate measure will likely propose imposing a time-channeling mandate on cable and satellite operators similar to what broadcasters already face for indecent material. Under existing regulations, broadcasters have to channel such programming to the "safe harbor" hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Apparently, the new Senate bill will broaden that time-channeling mandate to include "excessively violent" programming and then extend the requirement to multichannel video distributors.
Ironically, Chairman Martin could actually be correct in assuming that a la carte regulation "would raise fewer constitutional issues" than the sort of time-channeling approach that Rockefeller and other Senators appear ready to endorse. Some scholars have noted that Congress and the FCC could try to sell the courts the notion that a la carte mandates represented pure economic regulation and, therefore, it would not raise serious constitutional / First Amendment scrutiny. That's utter rubbish, of course, as Chairman Martin's repeated comments about the issue have made clear. He and others argue that a la carte is the ideal regulatory instrument to "clean up" cable and satellite TV. So there are clearly some First Amendment issues at stake. (I wrote about all this in another white paper: "Moral and Philosophical Aspects of the Debate over A La Carte Regulation,")
We may never know which argument the courts would accept about a la carte regulation if Congress doesn't mandate it, and frankly I'm happy about that since a la carte represents one the most potentially destructive industrial policy schemes imaginable. While the courts were trying to determine its constitutionality, the wonderful diversity of programming on television could be decimated if the rules remained in effect while legal challenges were pending.
Regardless, with time channeling / safe harbor regs there's just no way that Congress or the FCC can sell them to the courts as anything other than a direct effort to control content on television. Needless to say, proponents would have a huge constitutional challenge on their hands minutes after the bill was signed. I'd bet my house that the affected industries would seek an immediate injunction and get it. And then another long legal battle would ensue. If you want to see how that would play out, read this white paper I asked First Amendment expert Robert Corn-Revere to write for PFF two years ago: "Can Broadcast Indecency Regulations Be Extended to Cable Television and Satellite Radio?"
Bob knows a thing or two about this issue since he successfully litigated the case of United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group (2000). In that case, the Supreme Court struck down a law that required cable companies to "fully scramble" video signals transmitted over their networks if those signals included any sexually explicit content. Echoing its earlier holding in Reno v. ACLU, the Court found that less restrictive means were available to parents looking to block those signals in the home. Specifically, the Court argued that:
[T]argeted blocking [by parents] enables the government to support parental authority without affecting the First Amendment interests of speakers and willing listeners—listeners for whom, if the speech is unpopular or indecent, the privacy of their own homes may be the optimal place of receipt. Simply put, targeted blocking is less restrictive than banning, and the Government cannot ban speech if targeted blocking is a feasible and effective means of furthering its compelling interests.
More importantly, the Court held that:
It is no response that voluntary blocking requires a consumer to take action, or may be inconvenient, or may not go perfectly every time. A court should not assume a plausible, less restrictive alternative would be ineffective; and a court should not presume parents, given full information, will fail to act.
This is an extraordinarily high bar the Supreme Court has set for policymakers wishing to regulate modern media content. Not only is it clear that the Court is increasingly unlikely to allow the extension of broadcast-era content regulations to new media outlets and technologies, but it appears certain that judges will apply much stricter constitutional scrutiny to all efforts to regulate speech and media providers in the future, including broadcasting.
In sum, regulation can no longer be premised on the supposed helplessness of households to deal with content flows if families have been empowered and educated to make content determinations for themselves. That means that any legislative effort imposing time-channeling regulations on multichannel video providers is likely to be struck down as an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. Unfortunately, we're probably going to be forced to endure a protracted, expensive, multi-year legal battle to get to that inevitable conclusion.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, our kids are watching video on the Internet, iPods, PlayStation Portables, DVD players, and cell phones. One wonders what Congress and the FCC think they are accomplishing when they propose "Leave It to Beaver"-era regulations like this.

Former Vol flamethrower R.A. Dickey's transformation into a knuckleball pitcher has reached new heights as he was named to the National League All-Star Team on Sunday.
"It's not an honor just for me," Dickey said. "It's an honor for every person that's ever supported me and helped me along the way. For every fan that believed special things could happen, if you apply yourself."
Dickey becomes the fifth Tennessee player to earn a spot on an All-Star Game roster, joining Ed Bailey (1956, 1957, 1960, 1961, 1963), former teammate Todd Helton (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004), Phil Garner (1976, 1980, 1981) and Rick Honeycutt (1980, 1983).
The New York Mets starting pitcher leads all Major League hurlers with a 12-1 record and 0.88 WHIP, ranks second with an opposing batting average of .190, third with an ERA of 2.15 and fourth with 116 strikeouts.
With Dickey as a prime candidate, starting pitchers for the Midsummer Classic will be announced later this week.
Inducted into the Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame in February, Dickey is the only three-time First Team All-American in UT baseball history, claiming the honors each year from 1994-96. The Nashville native was also a two-time first team All-SEC selection and an academic All-American following his junior year. In addition, he was a member of the bronze-medal winning 1996 Team USA Olympic team in Atlanta.
During his time at Rocky Top, Dickey wrote his name in the UT record book as the career leader in wins, appearances, games started, innings pitched and strikeouts. He also holds the school single-season records for wins and innings pitched and ranks third for strikeouts.
Since being selected as with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 1996 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers, Dickey has embarked on a 10-year career in the big leagues. In addition to the Rangers, he has also spent time with the Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins before joining his current team, the New York Mets in 2010.

And if you're looking for a particular segment to listen to or share, check us out on Soundcloud.
Judy Greer engages in fan-profiling. It sounds kind of sketchy, but before you get upset -- know that it's nothing bad. It's just a useful tool. Strangers stop her in the street, or at the airport, or in coffee shops all the time. It's always a variation on the same question... "What do I know you from?" And they won't let her go until she can help them solve the riddle.
She's an actress, so they probably know her from one of her many roles as "the best friend", in a movie like The Wedding Planner or Thirteen Going on Thirty. Or maybe they recognize her from her role as the slightly unhinged secretary Kitty Sanchez in Arrested Development. It could be any number of things, since Greer has almost a hundred credits on her IMDb page.
She rarely plays the lead, however, and so people often don't know her name.
Greer joins us this week to talk about love for the animated series Archer, the modest Midwestern roots that never allow her to turn down a role, and the freedom she finds in not being the leading lady -- and of course, she'll fan-profile our host, Jesse. Her new book, I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star is available now. You can also catch her in one of our favorite series, Archer, on FX, or on her new sitcom Married this July.

It's time to get out of your winter music rut and spring into something new! Music critic Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times joins us this week to introduce us to some of his own current favorites.
His first recommendation is Le Butcherettes' new album Cry is for the Flies which has a feral, guitar-driven, riot-girl feel.
He also suggests checking out Shriek, the new album from Wye Oak, which uses synthy sounds to give an ethereal, reflective feeling.
You can find Martens' writing in the LA Times or on their music blog, Pop and Hiss.

We often talk to artists about their influences -- the movies, music, and art that inspired them creatively. Some of that stuff is so good and so perfect that they sometimes wish they'd made it themselves.
This segment is about just those kind of things. It's called "I Wish I'd Made That."
This week, we talk to Nick Stoller. He's the director of the new Seth Rogen comedy Neighbors. But the thing he wishes he'd made isn't a comedy. It's a well-crafted science fiction movie that had him sitting in shocked silence -- Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men.
Neighbors is now in theaters nationwide.

If you know the English actor and comedian Richard Ayoade by sight, it's probably from his role as IT worker Maurice Moss in the English sitcom The IT Crowd. Or maybe you've even seen him alongside American movie stars like Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn in The Watch.
He's got a very precise and funny presence on-screen, but he's most comfortable behind the camera. He co-created and directed the perfectly stilted and styled horror-slash-medical drama Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, and he's also directed two feature films. The first, 2011's Submarine, is a coming-of-age movie about a teenager's solipsism and romantic obsessions. His new film, The Double, is a comedic drama, and an exploration of the self and identity based on a Fyodor Dostoyevsky novel of the same name.
'The Double' is about a lonely, unremarkable government clerk named Simon, played by Jesse Eisenberg, whose life is slowly usurped when James, a new employee, shows up -- also played by Jesse Eisenberg. James is a physical double of Simon. Personality-wise, though, they're the opposite. James is self-assured and charismatic, everything Simon wishes he could be, but isn't.
Ayoade joins us this week to talk about working with Jesse Eisenberg, forming identity, and why it's hard to sit back and enjoy his own work.
The Double is in theaters and available on VOD now.

People often talk about two phases of Bill Murray's career. Think of Caddyshack and Ghostbusters in the 80s. Then, Lost In Translation and Broken Flowers in the 2000s. But there's an oft-overlooked Bill Murray movie that was released in 1990; and you've got to watch it.
Jesse shares his love for the only movie Bill Murray has ever directed -- Quick Change.

Talk about a bat-brained idea.
Health officials in Rhode Island are sounding the alarm after a man showed off a bat he kept in box while in downtown Providence – possibly exposing onlookers to rabies.
"This bat, we don't know if it had rabies or not," Department of Health spokesperson Peter Hanney told TV station WPRI. "So out of an abundance of caution we're asking people to please give us a call at the Department of Health."
Two people sought treatment by a health provider after coming into contact with the bat last week at Kennedy Plaza, Hanney said.
The bat had bitten one person, and another was treated for suspected rabies exposure after the encounter, Hanney said.
"There's different types of rabies, and the bat strain is really contagious," Hanney said. "It doesn't need to be from a bite. It can be just from the saliva if it gets into any mucous membranes or small cuts that you may have on you, you can contract rabies that way too left untreated it is deadly."

Today the New Hampshire House is expected to vote shortly on HB 617. It would raise the gasoline tax by 15 cents over four years and add an estimated $980 million over 10 years to fix the state's ailing roads and bridges.
We urge the House to pass HB 617, not because we think the bill is ready for the governor to sign but because we agree that more funds are needed to repair the state's aging infrastructure. To that end, HB 617 should be kept alive by the House and hopefully wind up in conference committee with the Senate.
Passing HB 617 onto the Senate with a strong majority vote will also give the House a chance to signal its skepticism over bringing casino gambling to the Granite State.
Opponents of HB 617 argue it is the wrong way to fund road and bridge repairs. Instead, they, like state Sen. Chuck Morse, want to direct a portion of as-yet-unrealized casino revenues to roads and bridges. But while HB 617 is money certain, Morse's effort to pass a casino gambling bill is problematic.
First, win or lose today on HB 617 the House has historically opposed casino gamble. And nothing on record indicates yet a willingness to change that track record.
Second, there is little to get in the way of tax revenues flowing from the gas tax with HB 617. As amended, the state Constitution limits the use of the gas tax to "construction, reconstruction and maintenance of public highways within this state" and related issues. On the other hand, the use of casino gambling revenues would be at the will and whim of the Legislature — not to mention subject to a powerful gambling lobby should Morse be successful.
As for the raising the gas tax as a separate issue from a casino bill, we think HB 617 was improved as it wound its way through committee. Sponsors were willing to drop an increase in fees for vehicle registrations. In exchange the proposed tax increase went from 12 cents over three years to 15 cents over four years. This stretches out the overall financial impact on users and makes the costs easier to absorb.
That said we are not convinced HB 617 goes far enough in making the proposed tax increase palatable — although we concede its necessity.
Another reason for wanting to see the bill kept alive is to give both the House and Senate time to weigh this tax increase along with others that are traveling the legislative maze in Concord. Taxpayers should not be nickel-and-dimed to financial death as they were at one time by a Democratically controlled Legislature. This time we look to the Republican-controlled Senate to bring balance by looking at the collective wisdom of tax increases overall (with the exception of the cigarette tax increase, which we addressed in an earlier editorial).

4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days he was tempted[a] by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'[b]"
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours."
8 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'[c]"
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
"'He will command his angels concerning you
12 Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[e]"
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.
23 Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself!' And you will tell me, 'Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"
24 "Truly I tell you," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian."
28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit
31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 "Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!"
35 "Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, "What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!" 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.
Jesus Heals Many
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
5 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[h] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
5 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people." 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[i] When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Then Jesus ordered him, "Don't tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."
15 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man
17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
31 Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Jesus Questioned About Fasting
33 They said to him, "John's disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking."
34 Jesus answered, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast."
36 He told them this parable: "No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, 'The old is better.'"
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
6 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. 2 Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"
3 Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." 5 Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
6 On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"
10 He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
The Twelve Apostles
12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Blessings and Woes
17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
"Blessed are you who are poor,
23 "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 "But woe to you who are rich,
Love for Enemies
27 "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Judging Others
37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
39 He also told them this parable: "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
41 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

Recent Caricature Commissions
Here are some commissions I did over the holiday break. I'm glad that they were all caricatures since I've been bitten by the Hirschfeld bug. I really love doing them, so expect more in the future!
John Lennon and Yoko Ono for an old high school friend.
Lemmy from Motorhead.
and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top for the same mustached maniac who commissioned my previous Frank Zappa drawing as a tattoo (these are tattoos aswell!).
Damn, I'm surprised I've been posting as much as I have lately. Well these were done over the break so its not like I'm compromising my thesis work.
WELL! See ya!

Sleepy Sketches from the Hollow
HOWDEE! Here's some stuff from last semester (which sounds like it was long ago but it actually wasn't.) (weird). In my character design class we had to design the characters from Sleepy Hollow in our own styles. I had tons of fun with them.
Ichabod Crane
Brom Bones
Katrina Van Tassel
The Headless Horseman (not cleaned up)
I'll color those guys some day. Now have some random sketches!
Cameo appearance by my pal Danny Jackson. Check out his stuff!
(Me at 8 in the morning)
The End! Now back to work....

Ghosts of the New Year!
Well well well...Happy New Year Everyone! 2011, can you believe it, huh? CAN YOU? This year was cray cray! A lot of thesis work and a lot more to do! So for now I'm gonna post some stuff from my pitchbook project we had to do.
My show is called "Dem Spooks" and is about three ghosts who roam around trying to find a peaceful place to haunt.
"Da Spook" self proclaimed leader and tough guy. Was probably a 30's mobster in his past life, hence the hat and bullet holes in his head. He can be a grumpster since he kinda misses his living life and doesn't like adjusting to his new ghostly body.
"Dis Spook" the positive happy energetic one. He's very happy to be a ghost since his living life was shit. His neck was stretched out from being hanged and he has shackle cuffs on his wrists. He loves playing the banjo and acts as the voice of reason for the trio.
"Dat Spook" the depressing, nervous, spook. When Da and Dis found him his head was missing so they replaced it with an umbrella. He's basically like a nerdy child that Da and Dis have to look out for since he's so small and weak. Though he gives them a purpose by watching out for him.
I don't really have a desire to make this into a show or pitch it to a big network. Just did it for fun/good grade. I do have some other stuff to post but I'll save it for another post.
In the mean time, lets see what 2011 chucks at my face!
