Various Top 5’s

July Tops

Gosh I seem to get around to these later and later every month. Outside of Cornerstone I didn’t really see too many shows. But I did see quite a few movies so you will have to hear about those instead

1. Cornerstone Music festival
This being my 8th time at Cornerstone and my 3rd time with the label. We kind of turned it on autopilot for promotions. We still had really good shows for State Bird and Max Justus. I was really excited When State Bird showed up with a band new EP that was a total surprise. You can even download the whole from The Record Machine site. This years showcase was probably the most fun I ever had the fest. The one two punch of State Bird and Max was really awesome. My other favorites from the fest were probably Dignan and B. Both are really great Texas bands with lots of promise.

2. The Dark Knight
This is probably one of the best comic book movies ever. I don’t really see how it could be upstaged. It was a little on the long side but I really didn’t mind at all. Heath Ledger as the Joker was awesome.  I really wish we could where he could have taken it had he not passed away. I really need to see this a second time on the big screen.

3. Hellboy 2
It is kind of sad this movie came out so close to Dark Knight. It is a really great movie that to me was eclipsed by a really outstanding film. Outside of that I don’t really know how they could have done to make it better.  A great sequel that does a good job of repeating the look, feel and magic of the first one.
