The Return of Recommendations

Sorry that I haven't done one of these in a couple weeks. Gotta get on the ball.

Band That You've Never Heard Of:
The Atomic Atoms - Yet another band got to review for Independent Clauses. This Cincinnati Folk-Rock band are a little bit Johnny Cash, a little Tom Petty, a little Weezer and maybe even a little bit of The Cramps. Their debut album, Electrophile, caterwauls through energetic power-country/pop-punk and thoughtful ballads. Unfortunately, the band is no longer together. Shame. But you can still listen to the music. I'd recommend it to fans of alt-country music, Weezer, Modest Mouse and good music in general.

A Graphic Novel Almost Everyone's Heard Of, But I'll Recommend Anyway:
Batman: Year One - Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli & Richard Lewis
Why do I recommend this? Why are you asking, moron? This is one graphic novel that I find myself rereading all the time. The main inspiration behind Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and told through the masterful writing of comic book legend Frank Miller (300, Sin City). Batman is still the only DC Comics character I care to read and this is by far my favorite story of the Dark Knight that I've read. Granted, there are a lot of them out there that I haven't read that I've always been told are incredibly. I sadly don't have much spare cash for comics.
Plus, I just wanted something different on the list and I hadn't recommended a graphic novel yet.

Awesome Youtube Video(-ish)
Sarah Palin Got Pranked
(In a Sarah Palin voice) It's just a couple of those cooky Canadians, doing those mavericky things that comedy mavericks do. But this time they did it to Sarah Palin, and garsh, don't you know? She actually believed she was speaking to French President Sarkozy.

I think that'll be it for now.
