As you may know, the Academy Awards is fast approaching.  What you may not know is that “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, a documentary by graffiti artist Banksy, has been nominated for Best Documentary.  What is for certain is that Banksy has been denied the request to attend the award show in disguise, the Red Eye reports.

V-Day Love Songs

Let’s face it, there are a lot of songs about love and Valentine’s Day, songs about breakups and makeups.  Instead of making a V-day playlist (because I’m sure you already have one) I’m just going to list three quick-pick songs about loving love.

“She Loves You” – The Beatles

“Boys of Summer” – The Ataris

“Digital Love” – Daft Punk
