Polaroids in the Sun

broderic on June 2, 2010

Summer time!

I can’t believe it’s June, and I can’t believe I haven’t ridden my bike yet. Will this mean cycling into November?

Anywhoo, I’m posting this pic (again?) because it was done with a Polaroid camera. Digital, instant gratification before there was digital, instant gratification. I want to revive it, but they don’t make the film anymore. Except of course, the IMPOSSIBLE project has revived the film. I’m just wondering which camera I have to be able to purchase some film.

Bait and Switch: Movie Soundtracks

broderic on May 28, 2010

Is there a more disappointing album of a movie soundtrack than the CD of "When Harry Met Sally?" The movie did not feature Harry Connick, Jr., but the album has him in spades. Songs sung by classic crooners of the past are sung by Connick on the official soundtrack album. "It Had to be You" sung by Frank Sinatra in the movie sung by Connick. A favorite Gershwin standard, "Our Love Is Here to Stay," sung by Louis Armstrong is sung by Connick. "Winter Wonderland" is Connick on the soundtrack but Ray Charles in the movie. It was a bad bait and switch.What would've been a sweet album with the classic singers becomes lessened with Harry Connick, Jr. as the vocalist to many of the more memorable tunes from the movie. The album reminds you that Harry Connick, Jr. has a long way to go to become a favorite.
