The Organized Confusion Playlist - Archive to inspire Resurrection?

For a while back in 2007, I was creating podcasts called the Organized Confusion Playlist. Though there were only three episodes, I'm definitely interested in pursuing this project again. Here is the archive from that musical venture.

Organized Confusion Playlist - Episode #1
Back In the Day (The College Years)

This podcast episode was dedicated to my then college-bound cousins. Includes indie rock staples such as They Might Be Giants, Magnetic Fields, and Barenaked Ladies, among other hidden gems from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Via Audio, and Call and Response.

Organized Confusion Playlist - Episode #2
Asia meets Organized Confusion

Includes clips from Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animated Series), and
Soundtrack Selections from Zhang Yimou's Curse of the Golden Flower, Hero and House of Flying Daggers.

Organized Confusion Playlist - Episode #3
R.I.P. Six Feet Under: A Musical Tribute

Includes songs featured in the HBO Series Six Feet Under and scenes from the show (Warning: there are some pretty terrible sound clips in here. For shame on mediakare beta.)

I'm thinking I might start the podcast up one day (hopefully with better equipment).. But it's fun to look back at what was accomplished. :)

Ben Kalmen: What are you getting out of the transaction?

DVD Review

The fall (not rise) of financial tycoon where reality checks are paramount and consequences for living outside the rules of morality play out as they should, resulting in humbled loss and despair. Not the first attempt at this kind of story, but the collective acting talent of Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Jenna Fischer and Mary-Louise Parker peaked my curiosity enough to give this film a chance to bring heart to a man failing in business and in life.

Released just prior to Douglas' infamous role reprisal of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (the long-awaited? sequel to Oliver Stone's classic), Michael Douglas proves there can be much more humanity in a storyline that centers around a man consumed by greed.

This review is a work in progress which began with my first viewing in theaters in 2009. Forthcoming DVD viewing to pick up where I left off in my head required.

Recommendation: Worth viewing on DVD, an especially good Friday night rental. Solid character development and performances by entire ensemble cast.

Welcome to the new ORGCONFUZ!

We have retired the Wordpress blog to a brand new Google site! Looking forward to using this new format and hope that it will inspired more reviews in the future.

Thanks for reading Organized Confusion!
