I found this gem on a great blog (that everybody should check out) – Made in England by Gentlemen. The song’s called I Say Fever by Ramona Falls. I was going to post just the song, which I do love, but the video for this song is so amazing that I had to share. It makes the song a million times better in my opinion, not to mention that the animation and visual style is really interesting. It’s slightly weird but wholly awesome; just roll with it.

Well that was fun. I haven’t seen too many newer movies of late, so nothing to review for now. And now my stomach is informing me that I didn’t have lunch and supper time is drawing near. Wish me luck on my hunt for sustenance!
