As summer begins to wind down and the appearance of yellow buses and Christmas decorations in department stores began to show up again, we here at ZONINO! had another great month!
MUSIC
Country new-comer David Nail's debut album I'm About To Come Alive had us cheering for the future of Nashville's latest balladeer.
We still have the infectious single "Runaway" from new country boy-band, Love & Theft, in our ear!
Despite Kanye West's recent foray into being "a jackass" at the MTV VMA's, he did a good thing teaming up with Rihanna on Jay-Z's newest single "We Run This Town". We can't decide what we like better - the song or the video!
Veteran country performer Terri Clark reminded us once again why she is a legend with "The One You Love".
Does new teen rock band Honor Society have what it takes to be the next Jonas Brothers? Single "Where Are You Now?" is a good start!
Even though we gave Kings Of Leon a shout-out for their entire album already, we were obsessed with one track in particular - the sexy "I Want You".
German electro-pop group CASCADA had us breaking the rules and running to the dance floor with there catchy single "Evacuate the Dance Floor".
BOOK
H.G. Bissinger's non-fiction story of the 1988 Permian High School football season, Friday Night Lights, appropriately helped welcome the start of the current football season.
MOVIE
We were intrigued by the trailer for George Clooney's newest film, The Men Who Stare At Goats.
The Hurt Locker, a film about military bomb squads, both painful to think about and beautiful to watch, reminded us of the fragility of life and no matter how bad a day can seem, it could always be worse.
John Malkovich was at his finest and strangest at the titular character in the hilarious and profound comedy, The Great Buck Howard.
The creative and unique science fiction thriller District 9 kept us talking long after the lights in the theatre came up.
RECIPE
It's not that we didn't cook a lot this month, it's just that we don't remember where it went after trying a delicious Beautiful Death shot.
That or we were busy taking our culinary cues from fellow blog My Dinner Plans instead...
WEB
Urban Dictionary kept us up to speed on what a "mascary" woman was and how to spot a "hippy catcher."
The People of Walmart photo blog confused us a little - do we feel better about ourselves or embarrassed for our society?
The creatively humorous movie-themed site How It Should Have Ended entertained us with mush more probable and/or simple conclusions to our favorite films.
Don't get our ZONINO!-lovin' bad side! We might just have to pay a visit to Truth Fairies!
"Dance like no one is watching." OK! Davey Dance Blog is now our mentor in freeing your inner boogie!
Photo blog Up Next In Sports expanded the LOLcatz phenomenon to the sports arena with comic results.
YOUTUBE
We really liked this stop animation video from 2006, satirizing various categories of movies, titled, appropriately, "Genre".
Also satirizing genres was poet Taylor Mali's performance of his poem "I Could Be A Poet".
Every advertiser wishes they could come up with something like this 2005 commercial for Zazoo.
Last month we introduced you to gymnast and stuntman Damian Walters. This month we add a bike and introduced you to Danny MacAskill.
Finally, the Korean Pachelbel Breakdance showed us that classical music, new age street dancing, and traditional Korean instruments really do go together!
