Nirvana Box Set

I just found out the Nirvana box set will be released near the holidays right in time for the Christmas rush.

In case you did not know, I am very big Nirvana fan. Not because of their popularity but because I really enjoy the writing and the type of music in general.

Needless to say, I will buying this set the day it comes out. The remaining band members were finally able to come to an agreement with Courtney Love (who I can’t stand) to be able to release this set. It comes with a DVD and 5 CD’s of previously unreleased ‘B’-sides, demos, and acoustic recordings.

Fast Food and Me

I may never eat fast food again. I watched Super Size Me last night and I am dumbfounded.

If you have not heard about this movie it is a documentary about the fast food industry (McDonalds specifically) and the health problems that it presents. The director of the movie is also the test subject and he ends up eating 30 days of McDonalds three times a day.

I am not going to go into details about the outcome (but you can guess) but I will say that it makes me question myself eating fast food anymore. We wonder why so much of America is obese, watching this movie explains a lot of it.

They spent some time in Houston (at the time the most obese city in the nation) in Memorial City and while he was there he was asked to “super size” 5 times out of the 9 total he was asked during his experiment.

If you haven’t seen this movie go and rent it and you will understand.
