Life is complicated and busy. Did you notice? Keeping up with the music, movies and books that fed your youthful imagination and conversations is harder than ever, but even more important. Here's the good news: there's never been more great new stuff. The challenge is to find it.

So here are my highly opinionated views on sounds, sights and words that will help you keep it fresh and real, and links to the veins where the richest motherlodes can be found.

Feed your head.

Reeling: Silver Linings Playbook

 A quick post, a fanatic rave really, because this is one extraordinary film from David Russell -- a funny, touching movie for grown folks about the possibility of redemption.  Go for the Oscar worthy (I mean it!) performance of Jennifer Lawrence, who was criminally neglected for "Winter's Bone" and lately smoldered in "The Hunger Games."  Go for DeNiro in the most restrained and affecting he's ever been.  Go for Chris Tucker's honest-to-God acting.  And go for Cooper, in the role that will make us forgive and forget the endless "Hangovers".  Tough subject, brilliant script, Russell at the peak of his game.  You get the idea - go!
