MONTHLY REVIEW: March

MUSIC

We're still a little disappointed in ourselves (Mrs. Fitzsimmons 1, especially) but we kind of somehow maybe liked the Bret Michaels & Miley Cyrus duet "Nothing To Loss".

Check out country sibling-band, The Harters, and their debut EP Family. Love. Harmony. before they become the "next big thing"!

The newest video from She & Him, "In The Sun", had us smiling in anticipation for the duo's sophomore album.

In the spirit of charity, Canadian-Somalian hip-hop star K'naan redeems the travesty of the "We Are The World" remake with a sing-along version of his own "Wavin' Flag" courtesy of a slew of Canadian artists.

It's all over the radio dial, but be sure to get on board with Atlanta's own B.o.B. and his hit "Nothin' On You" featuring Bruno Mars.

Better late than never, but we're elated that Joshua Radin seems to be getting his dues with his bubbly single "I'd Rather Be With You".

Remember The White Stripes' song "You Don't What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)"...yeah, that was a good one. (sigh...)

There was some good coverage going on this month, starting with Phone Calls From Home's version of "Don't Matter", originally by Akon. Also check out R & B group Ahmir's de-countrified version of the Lady Antebellum hit "Need You Now".

MOVIE

If you haven't seen (or heard of) The Road, starring Viggo Mortenson, you're not alone. Change that.

The Cove, a documentary about the not-so-secret questionable killing and solicitation of dolphins in Japan, won this year's Best Documentary Feature Film Oscar and it's no wonder.

BOOK

ZONINO! favorite website Awkward Family Photos has compiled some of the best portraits into a great book, by the same name, for you and your family to enjoy together, and be thankful you're not in it!

For a fascinating non-fiction read, check out Charles Nicholl's The Fruit Palace, about the cocaine business in Colombia during the 1970's and early 1980's.

WEBSITE

Go Fug Yourself is one of the best gossip/fashion websites around. Did we mention the writers are hilarious?

Ever had the urge to ruin someone's photo? The people/animals at Photo Bomb did.

Be reassured; those annoying kids in third grade who always got snack time taken away from your class for making shadow puppets on the overhead projector did amount to something. Check out Shadow Art.

YOUTUBE

Not everything on the internet is "fake and gay" like the internet trolls would have you believe. Watch this College Humor Original and see how to defeat them!

Ok Go! has always been making impressive music videos that make you wonder what they'll do next. With "This Too Shall Pass" we now know.

Jimmy Kimmel's star-studded (no pun intended) sketch on what it means to be good looking introduced us to The Handsome Man's Club.

Watch the top four teams from the 2009 World Hip Hop Dance Championship and decide who you think should have been crowned champions!

RECIPE

Start with a PB Banana Tortilla Roll-up for breakfast, have a helping of Tori's Tasty Tuna Salad for lunch and by the time dinner rolls around just treat yourself to some Guinness Cake.
