Cerebral Pop's Favorite Things of 2010
Oprah isn't the only one who has favorite things. We here at Cerebral Pop have amassed our own list of things that make us scream in glee like a rabid audience member whose head is about to burst over the last year. In a lot of ways, we're just like Oprah, just not in the way you really hope. Which is to say we aren't giving these things away like she does. Still, you can certainly read and enjoy our list, and maybe buy the things for yourself instead of just expecting us to give it to you in return for an ounce of attention. I mean, we like to think we're interesting enough to pay attention to without having to give away a bunch of meaningless possessions. Right? Oh, just read about our things. I'll be over there, crying. Stupid Oprah.
Shuffled: Assorted Mix Edition
Every other Wednesday I hit the shuffle button on my 90 gigabytes of music and post the results. I might have to justify some of the stuff in my library, but hopefully it will help inform you of new music -- Or at least be entertaining.
I came up with some great tracks in this edition. One of them I couldn't even find a place to buy it online. Now that's obscure! Be sure to read my passion about Big D and the Kids as well as The Vines and take that as a hint to check them out. Seriously, both are great bands that might have flown under your radar or dropped off your radar far too soon.

August Music Wrap-Up
The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. Having trouble keeping up with all the new music? Need some music suggestions? Then the Music Wrap-Up is for you. And please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.
There's no time to catch up this month, there were more than enough new releases to keep up with. Sure, you probably heard all about Arcade Fire's new album, but there were plenty more great CDs you may have missed. Also, I sort of debuted reader contributions this month by spamming Twitter a few days before the end of the month. In the future, if you'd like to write about a new release you've been enjoying, or at least just send me a tip and maybe some YouTube links, shoot an email to CerebralPop [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject "Music Wrap-Up." Now, onto the music.

Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
For comic-book movies, the green-lighting of a new project sends most fans into an anxious frenzy. Whenever we see a favorite book, cartoon or comic of ours being turned into a live-action film, its natural for us to shudder at the thought of the potential changes to the beloved stories when they transfer to the big screen. I can happily say that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is not one of these films.
