The Killers and Voltron Vehicle Force

As before, nothing to do with each other, just what's on my mind.

The Killers' new song, "Human", has some of the sparkling synthesizer sounds of their great first album; unfortunately, it also has the vocal and lyrical pomposity of their terrible second album. In the end, band and fans alike lose.

And there's only five weeks left until the release of the Voltron Collection 6 DVD, containing the earliest Vehicle Force episodes; I always liked the Vehicle Force episodes a lot better than the Lion episodes.

R.I.P. John Daly

An enormously influential figure in the entertainment world has died at age 71. Details below:

The Terminator may not have won any Oscars like some of Daly's other productions, but I think that, with its darkness and ambitious themes, it changed the face of live-action sci-fi entertainment in a much more positive way than, say, Star Wars. That's why it means so much more to me than anything else on Daly's long list of credits.

Delta Goodrem and Silverhawks

No connection, they're what's on my mind and I thought they'd look funny together in the same phrase.

Seriously, though, Delta Goodrem's "In This Life" is a great syrupy guilty pleasure of a pop song (and thankfully free of pseudo-punk and/or pseudo-hip-hop posturing). And the first set of Silverhawks DVDs is due in only three weeks.
