I'm Obsessed with Matt and Kim

Here's a review of the Brooklyn duos sophomore album, Grand, from Spin magazine:

Matt and Kim (their real names) come on like a punked-up Mates of State -- a couple so cute that you'd walk away from their frantic live shows feeling mushy, if someone hadn't just mushed you. But the love songs on their second album are for their home borough of Brooklyn as much as for each other. The tap-dancing keyboards and pounding drums of "Daylight" and "Don't Slow Down" soundtrack the duo's reflections on what it's like to be poor and young in the city, where your fire escape is your backyard and your summer wardrobe is your spring wardrobe plus scissors.

I am Obsessed with Step Brothers.

For whatever cockamamy reason, I did not go Step Brothers when it was out in theaters. I did, however, just get it on DVD.

John C. Reilly is one of my favorite supporting actors, although my appreciation for him was previously based strictly on his serious roles such as Officer Jim in Magnolia, Reed Rothchild in Boogie Nights, and Amos Hart in Chicago among others. Of course I loved him in Talladega Nights, but apparently not enough to go see Step Brothers. And Will Ferrell - Oh, don't even get me started. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him starting from way back in his SNL days.

Anyway, now that I've seen Step Brothers, I have a new arsenal of insults to sling at people (mostly my bandmates) and more laughter in my life - and who doesn't want that? I think I'm gonna' go watch it again.
