Lost Sock: Sight And Sound Website

Sight and Sound is my personal favorite film magazine around. The only problem is that its tough to find actual copies of it in America. The magazine is printed in Britain and features some of the most educated and in depth criticism of film currently available. Thank god for their website that features some selected articles from each issue of the publication. Check out a fine interview with Sydney Lumet talking about last year's "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead," a completely overlooked masterpiece. And make sure to check out the article about the Indiewood/Fratpack movement in film. http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/

Lost Sock: Vampire Weekend

I am really diggin' this Cape Cod band who is being described as African pop. I don't really think that term fits them although it is clear these boys have listened to Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints a few hundred times. The quirky, witty lyrics mixed with the bands catchy music makes for one of the most listenable albums since The Shin's first album. Check out some of their videos.
