MONTHLY REVIEW: August

The dog days of summer are coming to an end but it was fun while it lasted...and ZONINO! made it that much better!

MUSIC

Be the first of your friends to know Mike Posner by downloading his song "Please Don't Go" now!

German band The Baseballs have the right idea: see if current hits could have been popular in the good ole rock 'n' roll days. Yes, they can! Check out their version of "Umbrella".

Under-appreciated country crooner Sunny Sweeney hits it out of the park with her single "From A Table Away".

Jazz great Herbie Hancock has done it again with his legendary collaboration projects. Go out and buy The Imagine Project, featuring greats like today!

Cross-over artist Sheryl Crow tries her skills at singing the blues with favorable results on her new album 100 Miles From Memphis.

Need something fresh and different fro your iPod? Check out the single "You've Got A Friend" by MC's Far*East Movement.

MOVIE


Have you gotten in line to see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World starring Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Jason Schwartzman yet?

Could Oscar season have started already? Get a head start by checking out The Dry Land about a soldier's journey post war.

Relive the painful days of middle school from the safety of your own home by watching the hilarious adaptation of Jeff Kinney's book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Its a lot funnier than you remember.

Also, don't miss the incredible German film Die Welle (The Wave) about a teacher who turns his students into the next Nazi regime as part of a civics class lesson.

BOOK

Jhumpa Lahiri has done it once again with a beautiful collection of short stories in Unaccoustomed Earth. The second part of the book is a literary work of art not to be passed over.

WEBSITE

When ZONINO! doesn't have the dirt, bookmark and check Rotten Tomatoes for all your movie-going needs!

Need a midweek chuckle? Visit Buttersafe, Whiteboard Unicorns, or Chain Bear for a much needed laugh!

And never forget about the draw and addictability of the Word Bubble Game!

YOUTUBE

Why can't all classic remakes be as good as Jane Austen's Fight Club? The woman was ahead of her time.

Katy Perry's "California Girls" have got nothing on the "wind chafed legs" of these "Minnesota Gurls"!

Possibly the cutest thing on the internet right now, check out Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, voiced by SNL's Jenny Slate.

Mike Tompkins has a lot of talent...and time on his hands. See his acapella remix of "Teenage Dream" and "Just The Way You Are".

Oh, and then there's this.

RECIPE

Remember when all you wanted to eat was the middle of an Oreo cookie? Now you can indulge your sweet tooth anytime with the recipe for the cream filling!
