- "Torchwood: The Complete Second Season" - I've already explained how much I enjoy this Doctor Who-spinoff; now you can find out too! Season one was excellent, and from what I've heard the second season is even better.
- "Snow Angels" - This film centers on tragedy in a small town and how seemingly little things can grow to become life-changing events. I really wanted to see this movie when it came out in April, and now that it's on DVD you should check it out as well.
- "Dirty Sexy Money: Season One" and "Pushing Daisies: The Complete First Season" - If you haven't seen either of these television series, well, you're not alone. Both DSM and PD were cut really short by the writer's strike and, as such, didn't get a chance to really find an audience. But now that they are both coming back with brand-new seasons in October, now is the perfect time to catch up on them. Trust me, both of these series are worth checking out.

My picks for CD:
- Amanda Palmer: "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" - The debut solo album by one-half of punk/cabaret act the Dresden Dolls. Palmer brings the same passion and craft as she does to DD, but she also experiments with different styles and instruments to come up with a sound all her own. I've gotten to listen to most of this album already, and it's amazing. Whether you're a Dresden Dolls fan or have never heard of Amanda Palmer before, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.
- Taproot: "Our Long Road Home" - I've been following this band for years, and I love them for two reasons: 1) they do an excellent job of mixing hard-driving-rock with some downright beautiful musical compositions, and 2) because these boys hail from nearby (to me) Ann Arbor, MI. In fact, on Thursday they'll be performing and signing autographs at Borders in Ann Arbor.
