The Italian Job

Saw the Italian Job last night. Was pleasantly surprised. Enough to put it on my Recommended list. Great soundtrack. Especially enjoyed the film's understated tone .. featuring an abundance of subdued scenes .. a welcome respite from the relentless inuring sensory-overload we usually get from Hollywood.

Surprised to see Mos Def, who I first saw hosting Def Poetry on HBO. Nothing else like it on television. Great entertainment. Again, his understated style added to the film's enjoyment. No weak performances. Lots of big names.

Napster creator Shawn Fanning made a cameo appearance. The message "You'll never stop the real Napster" was displayed for all to see. You'll have to see the movie to learn the humorous spin they put on this statement. But anyone with a broadband connection who knows anything about today's new file-sharing methods, understands the subtext of what they really meant.

Speaking of Napster, I recently discovered a good site named AudioCoding.com. I especially like their intro's to the different file formats such as lossless,.. MP3 & MPC. I did something like this a couple of years ago with the Radified guide to Ripping & Encoding CD audio.

For example, I discuss lossless audio codecs here. That guide has been the most difficult to keep up-to-date, cuz things change so quickly in that field. This topic really needs an entire site to address it properly .. which is why audiocoding.com is so attractive.

Thx for feedback, bro. I'm jealous of the stereo hook-up. That's the e-ticket way to do it.

It might be nice to see the RAD Recommended Film list as a hyperlink!

Yeah, I've thot of that, and have even began working on it .. but got side-tracked. In other wors, there is no "Rad-Recommended Film list" .. even tho I make reference to one whenever I see I film I enjoyed good enough to put my name behind.
