MONTHLY REVIEW: July
With all the summer has to offer, it only got better with all we found here at ZONINO! in July!
MUSIC
80's pop-maker Cyndi Lauper released her surprise blues album, Memphis Blues, with guests like Jonny Lang and Allen Toussaint.
Check out New Zealand's Gin Wigmore and discover what fusion-pop music done right sounds like.
Country new-comer Jaron and the Long Road to Love (of the early 2000's pop duo Evan & Jaron) have commendable debut with Getting Dressed In The Dark.
Rediscover an old rock favorite with Blue Öyster Cult's "Astronomy" from 1974.
Gnarls Barkley's video for their single "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" is worth a second look as well.
VV Brown is likely to be an awards season name if her catchy debut pop album Traveling Like The Light is any indication.
An outstanding song by an outstanding vocalist, "Black Sheep" by Maureen Murphy should be on your playlist if it isn't already.
If you like your country music with a little soul and a lot of blues, check out Keith Gattis and his album Big City Blues immediately!
"The House Rules" single is definitely not a bad way to introduce yourself to the country music lovin' people, if your Christian Kane.
If you buy one album this summer, make it folk-pop duo Sam & Ruby's "The Here and the Now".
BOOK
Tana French turns the mystery novel into a brilliant work of fiction in Faithful Place.
And for those who love a good bite of logic, there are the accumulated essays of Malcolm Gladwell's What The Dog Saw to keep you turning pages.
MOVIE
The French animated short film Get Out is genius and available for complimentary viewing online.
Believe the hype. Inception is one of the best movies out right now. Unless you're impatient or have ADD; then just stay home.

Also impressive is the time, effort, and creativity of the PEN story, another camera advertisement.
Have you purchased your $500 giant iPhone, er...iPad yet? Check out Bleep Bloop's spoofy review of the device before you do.
EAT OUT
If you're in New York City, don't leave before visiting a local landmark - McSorley's Old Ale House has seen a lot in its storied history.

MUSIC
Jakob Dylan's genre-crossing old-timey solo album, Women + Country will be big come awards seasons, for sure! Get familiar with it now!
Written by the under-appreciated Keri Noble and sung on Kelly Clarkson's latest studio album, "When No One Will Listen" is a painfully enchanting song.

The B.o.B. obsession continued this month with the music video for "Nothin' On You" and the rapper's debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

As terrible as the concept might seem, Zombieland is Hollywood's answer to Britain's fantastic horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead.
Get in line now for September's retooling of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic, The Scarlet Letter, with a film called Easy A starring Emma Stone and Lisa Kudrow.
WEBSITE

10 Year Old Movies takes a comical and strangely introspective and intelligent look at films that made an impact on our collective psyches a decade ago.

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!

MONTHLY REVIEW: February
It's appropriate that February is the month of loooove since we here at ZONINO! loved at lot of things the last 27 days!
MUSIC
With the Grammy Awards being held recently, we were reminded of a Grammy great, Alison Krauss and her classic rendition of Shenandoah's "Ghost In This House".
Irish band The Script's single "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" is phenomenal but their performance at the 2009 Oxygen Music Festival was epic!
Go to DJ Earworm's website to download and rock out to his Pop Music Mash-up 2009 all of the Top 40 hits of the last year all in one song!
Mariachi El Bronx and their eponymous new disc is a necessity in any good party hosts' collection.
Maroon 5's cover of "The Way You Look Tonight" from the romantic comedy "Valentine's Day" is a victory for the old standards!
The hottest pop music collaboration these days is the Beyoncé and Alicia Keys duet "Put It In A Love Song".
But the hottest music video goes to Colombian sensation Shakira and her hot "Gitana" (Gypsy) video with special guest Rafael Nadal.
Also, check out the first single, "Need You Now", off country trio Lady Antebellum's sophomore CD by the same name.
MOVIE
It's definitely Oscar-season and we here at ZONINO! are definitely doing our research. First up is the inspiring and sweeping Invictus, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, about Nelson Mandela's efforts to unite a nation through sport.
Also notable is Precious, the tragic and moving story about a poor and abused teenage girl from Harlem, starring new-comer Gabourey Sidibe and Mo'Nique (both Oscar nominees).
RECIPE
Try out these Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Thingies at your next party; beware, these appetizer will fly off the platter!

We had a lot of laughs on YouTube this month, starting with the British parody group The Midnight Beast.
Ever wonder what would happen if Indie film master Wes Anderson directed Spiderman?
I wish the news would show the same creativity. At least we have this Generic News Report from Charlie Brooker.
Cyanide & Happiness short animated film will bring you a little of both served with a hefty side of dark irony.
The stop-motion film work in T-shirt War is amazing and exhausting!
Can you believe this Shiny Suds Commerical PSA for the "Household Products Labeling Act" got pulled from TV for being risqué?!? Loofah!!!!

MONTHLY REVIEW: January
If the first month of 2010 at ZONINO! is any indication, we sure started out the new year right...
MUSIC

MONTHLY REVIEW: October
Happy Halloween!!! Tonight might be the scariest night of the year, but the month of October was definitely "spooktacular"!!!
MUSIC
If you didn't listen to us the first time, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Canadian Anjulie's self-title debut album now! In the past month we've heard a couple of her song on the radio and in a couple television shows! Next big thing...?
Paramore had us screaming for more after hearing their cover of ZONINO! favorite Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody".
James Hunter's album, The Hard Way, was a rediscovered favorite after a song popped up on a random playlist. If you haven't heard this amazing artist yet, its time to treat yourself.
We can't keep out feet off the pedal after listing to country sibling band Jypsi's latest single "Mister Officer".
Country legend Patty Loveless covers the heartbreaking "Busted" on her most recent studio album with repeat-button results.
Before we leave Nashville, another country band, Little Big Town, caught our ear with their inventive yet faithful version of "Go Tell It On The Mountain", available only online, for the time being.
The incredibly gifted guitar duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela will blow away anyone who even looked at the instrument; it's hard to believe their recordings do not contain any other components!
BOOK
Jhumpa Lahiri's 1999 debut, Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of short stories, had us hanging on every beautiful and effortless description.
You Shall Know Our Velocity, a story of two friends traveling the world and giving away money, by Dave Eggers, will make you want to figuratively do the same.
Colombian author James Cañón's debut novel, Tales From the Town of Widows, sheds light on an ongoing political and societal issue all the while celebrating the human (and feminine) spirit.
Comedic writer David Sedaris once again slays with his latest collection of short true-life stories, When You Are Engulfed In Flames.
MOVIE
The hilarious Julie Delpy wrote, directed, and starred in the quaintly beautiful film 2 Days in Paris, about a relationship on the brink...of something.
And ensemble cast for once doesn't wreck a movie! Watch The Taking of Pelham 123 and see names like Travolta, Washington, Turturro, and Gandolfini play like a team for the excitement of pretty good story!
RECIPE
Serve some greasy Fries Cuatro Queso and spicy Pumpkin Cider at your next fall gathering...Sunday football marathon anyone?!?!
Throw in some apple bites too, or save those for your spooktacular Halloween party!
WEB
You thought it was bad when you bumped your mailbox backing out of the driveway? Check out these wrecks on That Will Buff Out.
In the same vein, There I Fixed It celebrates homemade solutions that give professional repairmen (and women) job security.
Artist Jan Vormann creates the uniquely ingenious "installation" artwork and displays her creations on Dispatchwork.
Still don't have a costume idea for Halloween?!?! There's still time! Check out WTF Costumes for some inspiration.
Sick of the new fall line-up already? Don't have time in your busy schedule to watch a full television show? Check out FilmCow and laugh at these hilariously random animated shorts.
YOUTUBE
Ever wonder why those Disney kids are so squeaky clean and wholesome? The Onion's Today Now "news" program has the answer!
Can a team of preteen and teen girls jumping rope bring an entire arena-full of basketball fans to their feet? You bet they can!
The Black Eyed Peas' summer hit "I Got A Feeling" just got better. Be sure to see what some creative communications majors at UQAM in Montreal were able to pull together in just over two hours.
TV
We got a little nostalgic this month with an Oil of Olay ad from 1989. Remember it?
Elmo and Rosita teach us how to sneeze in this Sesame Street spot in cooperation with the Ad Council.
WORD
After methodically palpating the mind of the serial killer, the psychologist determined his chimeric mind was an emporium of evil.

MONTHLY REVIEW: September
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!

BOOK
Futuristic and apocalyptic page turner The Children of Men, by British author P.D. James kept our attention in made us image a world slowly dying out be means of infertility and paranoia.

MONTHLY REVIEW: July
We sure enjoyed our July here at Zonino! Lots of sun, breeze, cook-outs, and letting summer do what summer does best...
MUSIC
Nashville-based family band, The Bridges, bring their own brand of poppy folk music to the stage with their debut album, Limits Of The Sky.
Kristin Andreassen's quirky alt-country charm is a winner with her album, Kiss Me Hello. Check out the single "Crayola Doesn't Make A Color For Your Eyes" to see why!
Who's arguably the most rocking married couple? Why, The Weepies of course! We here at Zonino! have been loving their 2006 album, Say I Am You.
Newcomer Shane Wyatt brings back the old school feel of genuine country music with his debut album, The Last Cowboy.
The always great Michael Franti (with long-time band Spearhead) has been recently discovered by the masses because of a new hit single, "Say Hey (I Love you)," and their album, reggae-tinged All Rebel Rockers.
Brad Paisley had us all reminiscing about a time not too long ago when you somehow found your friends in a crowded room without a cell phone and no one freaked out when you were five minutes late with his newest single "Welcome To The Future."
Not that summer is winding down, but don't let it end without putting "Toes," by the Zac Brown Band, on your playlist for the remainder of your beach-going days!
BOOKS
Jonathan Safran Foer's sophomore novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close about a boy looking for meaning in a mysterious key owned by his recently deceased father, who die in the 9/11 terrorist attacks touched our hearts and awakened our child-like wonder.
The quickly advancing field of genetic science brings with it many moral, ethical, and political questions. Next, by Jurassic Park author, Michael Crichton illustrated them all in this layered novel.
RECIPE
Kick up your next grill-out with some Blue Cheese Burgers! Pour yourself a cup of Beerquila and you've got a party!
Add some Arroz con Coco to your dinner the next time you need a tropical touch!
Rain got you inside? How about some tasty Chicken Pesto Pizza to brighten the mood!?!
EAT OUT
In the Big Apple? Start with a stop at New York City's oldest functioning bar, McSorley's Old Ale House. Then head over to Crif Dogs in the East Village for a prohibition era hot dog and more!
MUSICAL
While you're in Metropolis, swing on by Broadway and check out the award-winning musical, In The Heights.
WEB
Love proving people wrong? Skeptical about an email forward? Take it to Snopes and check it's validity...or lack there of.
Thought your wedding cake tasted bad? That's not the least of it! At least it looked nice and not like some of the travesties at Cakewrecks, one of the funniest food blogs out there!
Speaking of, food wrecks, how about taking something already hideous and making it look better? The people at Fancy Fast Food do just that, and you can too!
YOUTUBE
How did people ever think these music videos were good in the first place?!? At least the creative people who made these Literal Videos had the opportunity to improve them.
In between gigs in the country music capital of the world, Canaan Smith apparently dabbles in street interviews for his "show" Donkey In A Box.
Who doesn;t love a good parody? You'll think of this video the next time your friend changes their relationship status on Facebook.
And who doesn't love the newest Foot-By-The-Foot television spot? (Who new they even made this stuff still???)
WORD
It would not be pernicious to this autonomous blog that we did not include any movies this month for lack of lassitude.
MUSIC
Nashville-based family band, The Bridges, bring their own brand of poppy folk music to the stage with their debut album, Limits Of The Sky.
Kristin Andreassen's quirky alt-country charm is a winner with her album, Kiss Me Hello. Check out the single "Crayola Doesn't Make A Color For Your Eyes" to see why!

MONTHLY REVIEW: June
Another great month here at ZONINO! In case you missed something or just need a reminder of how great June was, here's your June recap:
MUSIC
We started off with a semi-blast from the past with the Trisha Yearwood's cover of Rosanne Cash's Seven Year Ache.
Feeling summery? Get a little Hawai'i flavor with Jack Johnson inspired soul pop from Ahuhea.
Check out our favorite country music up-and-comer, Sarah Lou Richard's myspace page.
Get addicted to the sound that seemingly all the prime time drama's already have and give Brett Dennen a listen!
We got in to Nashville rockers Kings of Leon and so should you!
One of the most addictive and impressive debuts in a while, Britain continues to export quality musicians with the grooving sounds of James Morrison and his debut album Songs For You, Truths For Me.
Sing-songwriters will relish in the raw beauty of soul of me, the newest album from Massachusetts native Rebecca Correia.
Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses continue to impress with the raspy, raw, and real sound of country music on Roadhouse Sun.
MOVIE
Feeling like the movies out now lack a little culture? Immerse yourself in the class and style of BBC's original production of the Jane Austen classic Pride & Prejudice.
No? Then check out one of the most recent films worthy of a view - the new to DVD The International.
BOOKS
Or...you know, you could just read the aforementioned Pride & Prejudice. You'll look pretty smart on the morning train!
RECIPE
Only one book this month, huh? We must have been too busy stuffing our faces...
Have an unforgettable summer picnic with a sad apple pizza and some strawberry spinach summer salad followed by some infamous PB Max cookies and maybe some raspberry topping sauce on a little scoop of ice cream!
TRAVEL & EAT OUT
Or you could take a Great Lakes road trip and visit Chicago's Coast Sushi, then head up Hwy I-94 and stop in Eau Claire, WI, for some coffee and bread pudding at the Grand Avenue Coffee Cafe, and continue on to the beautiful inland port city of Duluth for some tortilla-wrapped goodness (and beers) at Burrito Union.
Or, you know, you could just head down to the bizarro world of Dinosaur Kingdom in Natural Bridge, Virginia.
WEB & YOUTUBE
After all your traveling from above you'll definitely have tons of ZONINO!-worthy photos to show your friends. Don't show us though, unless you use Animoto, of course!
Did you check out precocious little Lucy Leith at Lemon Squared*? That'll make you feel a little worthless at your job, yeah?
We were definitely amused this month online!
Kristen Chenoweth brought her stage genius to her cabaret performance of "If" from the 1951 musical Two On The Aisle.
Vince and his quotable antics made us seriously question the validity of the Slap Chop! food chopper. (It's real!)
Jake and Amir reminded us both that 1) we are not that funny and 2) it's possible to waste more time at work than we do.
The Do-Re-Mi Spontaneous Dance Performance in Antwerp had us smiling like fools at the computer screen.
And finally, we paid tribute to the passing of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, with an appropriate dance performance of our favorite MJ tune, P.Y.T. by the Jabbawockeez dance group.
WORD...
Would it be notional of us to say that June was ZONINO! but July will be definitely not be acrid in comparison!
Oh yeah...Go get yourself a pair of TOMS Shoes and check back soon!
