This song has been stuck in my head all summer. I just cant get it out. Makes me want to go to the beach so bad.
Its by the band The Dirty Heads, and features Rome, the new singer/guitarist that Sublime got a few years ago. They've been around for a few years, but the CD that it is on, Any Port in a Storm is their first release. You should really check it out.Listen to it here

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Angry Men
You gotta love the classics. I have been wanting to see 12 Angry Men for some time now, and I am very glad that I finally have. I am sure I have said this before, but if I haven't, this wont be the only time. There is something that is hard to find in new film that was present in older ones. There is no name to it. No really identity to it. Its what separates Oscar winners from other films. Its just part of the film. I sure hope that it is never completely lost.
A courtroom drama 12 Angry Men is about the 12 jurors in a trial where an 18 year old boy is being charged for the murder of his father and what happens behind closed doors during the deliberations. Initially all but one of the 12 agree that he is guilty and the other, played by Henry Fonda, tries to convince the others on his logic.
Doesn't seem like there's too much to it does there? There doesn't have to be for a great film. All of the action happens in one room, so the story has to be really good to keep everyone interested, and boy does it do that. All of the cast does a wonderful job at what they do. Again, as I said with my review of rear Window not much can be said about the old classics, they just simply are classics.
I know that there are other and more modern adaptations of this story and I would like to see them, but I am hesitant to because of how films are currently. If I do though, you will surly read about it. Overall a great film. Defiantly a buy for the film buff. 4.5/5
