The Black Keys are blowing up the rock stations here in LA, with their new track "I'm Howling For You." While it's a great song, my favorite track of theirs is "Chomp & Change" which I originally heard off the TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE soundtrack (yeah, I am not ashamed!).

Facebook Break Up Song (That's Actually Good!)
There are a lot of videos online featuring songs about facebook and making fun of it, but this one takes the cake! Not only does it smartly incorporate Facebook lingo and norms into the lyrics, it's actually a great post-break-up song that reflects modern relationships. Check it out:
Hailing from Australia, Kate Miller-Heidke started in classical music but started incorporating pop and pop culture elements into her tracks. This is the first I've heard of her, but with this song blowing up online, we could be seeing her in the states soon.
If you like the track, you can download it from Amazon here:
What do you think of the track? Can you relate to it?

Movie Title Montage
Not to be confused with the "Movie Title in Movies" montage, this features some great credit artwork. Check it out:
A Brief History of Title Design from Ian Albinson on Vimeo.
While I love movie title artwork, I think it's definitely fading out and being replaced by artwork in the end credits. Movies want to just start with the action already, fearing the audience will tune out if you don't jump in quickly enough, and then use the end credits to either showcase more information (like THE OTHER GUYS' use of financial stats) or to just expand a little more on the world the film created (like the bloopers after many Pixar films).
Which style do you prefer: opening credits or end credits?
