Lost treasure I just rediscovered: The Pretenders first album, especially “The Wait” and “Precious.” Yup, Chrissie Hynde swearing and breathing heavy pretty much turned me into a man back in 1979.

Film Club
Brooke has come up with a great idea. Every month, probably on the first Friday, we’re going to host a film night at her place. It’s a great way to keep in touch with our friends, and even if not everyone shows up, we get to see a good film anyway. It’s a low maintenance party. Our first one will be Friday July 6, and we’ll be watching The Apartment (1960), starring Jack Lemmon, Fred MacMurray, and Shirley Maclaine. It won the Oscar™ for Best Picture that year. If you’re going to be in Toronto that night, let me know! The best part of the whole thing is using Evite, which I just think is a really cool tool.
MORE MUSIC GAMES
Take a letter of the alphabet. Come up with a great song by an artist whose name starts with that letter, for each decade from the 60s until now. Today’s letter is M:
- 60s: MC5 – Kick Out The Jams
- 70s: Magazine – The Light Pours Out of Me
- 80s: Morrissey – Interesting Drug
- 90s: Modest Mouse – Dramamine
- 00s: Magnetic Fields – All My Little Words
I might be cheating with the last one, but I seem to remember 69 Love Songs coming out in 2000. If I’m wrong, let me know. Now, your turn…

Experience Design
I just bought what looks to be a very interesting book. Nathan Shedroff‘s Experience Design 1 is not only an incredibly beautiful book, but it also promises to be very useful in my “designer’s education.” Derek Powazek is featured twice, both for The Fray and for Kvetch. Anyone else read this book or have any comments on it?
