Who needs lyrics?

I'm going to take a bit of a different route with this post - hope you guys don't mind. I think you might enjoy it.

Clint Mansell. Soundtrack buffs might be nodding their heads and saying, "Yeah," but some of you might be thinking, "Come again?" Don't worry; I'll elaborate.

Clint Mansell is the man behind tons and tons of gorgeous music in soundtracks and movie trailers alike. "Lux Aeterna" is easily the most well-known - it started off as the main theme for Darren Aronofsky's 2000 film Requiem for a Dream before being used in practically everything ever. It was even re-recorded for the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer and released as "Requiem for a Tower."

He is also the mastermind behind soundtracks for The Fountain, Smokin' Aces, The Wrestler, 11:14 and Pi (among others). But what brought up this post is actually Iron Man 2. I know, I know: "How did she get from Iron Man 2 to Clint Mansell when he had nothing to do with the movie's music at all?" I'll tell you how.

Iron Man 2 stars the amazing, attractive, talented and hilarious Sam Rockwell. Sam Rockwell starred in the 2009 independent film Moon. And who is responsible for the score? You're damn right! It's Clint Mansell! The score for Moon is creepy and claustrophobic and makes me feel anxious. That might sound terrible, but i

t's actually kind of wonderful. The main title is called "Welcome to Lunar Industries." If you're into that, dive right in and try out...everything!

Here's another fun fact with only makes him cooler: he provided back up vocals for Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album The Fragile.

Mansell's music is haunting, using everything from strings to electronic beats to piano. It's the kind of music that gets under your skin. And while it is instrumental, it's the kind of music that someone who scoffs at lyric-less music can seriously get behind. His music speaks volumes on its own. Get ready for goosebumps, my friends.

P. Diddy's blog. For real.

Hello world! I come to you today not with a recommendation but with something that I found too strange not to talk about.

Sean "Puffy" Combs, A.K.A. P. Diddy, A.K.A. Diddy, A.K.A. Puff Daddy, A.K.A. "Good Lord, do you have enough names yet? You're worse than Prince at this point," has released a trailer for his new blog. Take a second to really let that sink in. P. Diddy has released a trailer for his new blog.

Stranger yet, this trailer features the following things: Diddy speaking dramatically, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Will Smith, M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, Obama, 300, Michael Jordan, and George Clooney. What really ties it all together is a sample of "The Mark Has Been Made" by Nine Inch Nails.

It is one minute of baffling, awesome, mind-boggling images, voice overs, and music. His blog is literally called "DiddyBlog." I don't know what his plans are for said blog. Based on that trailer, one may conclude that Puff is going to talk about minority plights, political ideals, social unrest, and causes he believes in - not counting Ciroc Vodka. But really, I would venture to guess that it will read something more like, "On the road in the bus, laying down some beats. The new album is gonna be sick."

Wait, when was the last time that P. Diddy was actually relevant?
