For this week, I recommend:
Music: Bobby Long - WishboneQuite a different feel from his previous album, Winter Tale, this one has some very good tunes, with a unique blending of sounds. From the amount of times I've listened to it recently, the word I would use is: 'Catchy'.
Good Reads: Michael D. O'Brien - Voyage to Alpha Centauri
If you like a good, detailed sci-fi novel, one that blends the extents of science, faith, and reason in the universe, then look no further than this (considerably large) novel. It also offers a frighteningly accurate possibility of our world's future.
Mr. O'Brien doesn't really write so-called 'small' books, but this one is well worth the investment of time. Thanks Padre Chris for letting me borrow it.
Un film:
Captain America - The Winter Soldier
In my opinion, the best Marvel movie to date. This one had all the feel of a classic spy thriller / political drama. It wasn't heavy handed on the humor, and was quite an enjoyable film. I look forward to the blu-ray release in a week or so. (P.S., this is a sequel, and has tie-ins to most of the other Marvel movies, and the TV series 'Agents of SHIELD'. So if some parts don't make sense, that's why.)
