Commando:The Autobiography Of Johnny Ramone

What can you say about The Ramones that has not already been said? That they forever changed music history by intercepting rock music and injecting it with a heavy dose of adrenaline and attitude. Famous for being contemporaries and friends with fellow new wave bands Blondie, The Talking Heads, The Clash, The B-52'S, Patti Smith, and The Sex Pistols.  Well the library now owns Commando:The Autobiography Of Johnny Ramone. Read on and I will give a brief description  of the book.

Into The Wild

So Fred and I have decided to try doing a "dual blog" since we are both fans of the film Into The Wild. One of our favorite soundtracks is also one of our favorite movies, and books. "Into the Wild" is a true story, with a soundtrack by musician Eddie Vedder which is haunting and brilliant and uplifting and sad. A score that truly films the film.

"Into the Wild" tells the (true) story of Christopher McCandless, a young man who abandons his college life to find himself by hiking and living a life across the United States in 1990. McCandless made news when his body was discovered two years later in Alaska, where he had been living off the land inside an abandoned bus on National Park land. Director Sean Penn and musician Eddie Vedder came together to compose a soundtrack to the film that tells Christopher's story, and the result is one of the most haunting and joyous albums we've ever encountered.
