Wes Anderson Commercial Starring Brad Pitt
Posted in: UncategorizedThe latest Wes Anderson commercial, this time for Japan’s SoftBank Mobile, involves a Mr. Brad Pitt in a yellow pith helmet fussing about during a particularly dense bit of action, strongly reminiscent of Jacques Tati’s 1953 Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot. The song is Poupée de cire, poupée de son by France Gall.
Perpenduum regulars will note the use of the Citroën 2CV.

TuneUp for iTunes
Posted in: UncategorizedJust got wind of a new plug-in for iTunes called TuneUp. They just released the Mac software a couple days ago (PC version had already been up.) It’s supposed to do all the music library housekeeping for you. That includes cleaning mislabeled music (artist names, genres, track numbers, genres, etc.), finding missing cover art. It can also alert you of concert dates and pull in YouTube videos and news. It’s refreshing to see a new product with a clean-looking website too!
