Fame trailer is Fame-azing!
July 3rd, 2009
I already love this movie.
Take that High School Musical! Fame forever! This movie is a re-make of the 1980s movie which inspired a TV series, a reality show, and then stage musical. And now we are back to film again! Woohoo! Also! Kherington Payne from season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance is in this! She plays the dancer.
As I love me a good musical (I actually just watched the trailer five times in a row) I am quite excited about this. What about you guys? Are musicals your thang? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

Funny People looks very funny!
July 3rd, 2009
The new Judd Apatow film Funny People looks hilarious; His past films 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up were great, and this time he’s adding something else to the mix. Apatow explained in a recent interview saying, “It is more emotional than my other two films, but if you hate emotions you will still like it. And most people do hate emotions.” Apatow is also doing some amazing viral marketing. There’s almost a website for every character. Check it out.
Adam Sandler’s character, George Simmons, is a comedian. On his website, you can watch clips of movies he has stared in, including “Re-Do” and “Dog’s Best Friend”.
Jason Schwartzman’s character is an actor named Mark Taylor Jackson. You can go to his website to read about how he participated in a hot air balloon fiesta or head over to the Yo Teach! (Mark Taylor Jackson’s TV show about a cool teacher helping out the kids) website and watch clips from the show.
Aziz Ansari character is a foul mouthed comedian named Randy who’s got his own DJ/hype man. You can watch videos of his stand up and play on the Randy soundboard.
See what I mean? They are going all out. The dedication to every detail is amazing. Love it. What site is your favorite? Are you going to go see Funny People when it comes out July 31st?

News for Thursday: Jiggery Pokery Edition
July 2nd, 2009
* In Michael Jackson news, more proof that artists can be equally famous after they’re dead: there are supposedly “dozens and dozens” of unreleased MJ songs - including some collabs with will.i.am and Akon - locked up in his music vaults. Great news for fans, bad news for those who hate “Best Of…” compilations and Christmas CD’s.
* Aerosmith’s Joe Perry wants Twitter to help name his upcoming solo album. Uh, this is probably a bad idea, unless he wants an album called “OMG on mi way to teh club 4 partay timezzzz!!!!”
* TwiHard much? Summer School in Forks: a Twilight Symposium happened last weekend in Forks, Washington. Attendees had the chance to go to a prom at Forks High School, just like Edward and Bella. Not sure if this is a <3 or more like a o.O...
* Didja ever think Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, and none other than Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones would EVER release an album together? Hold onto your iPods, kids, it’s coming…
* And in completely confusing news: Speidi are crazy conspiracy theorists.

New Bloc Party Video!
July 2nd, 2009
The video is out for Bloc Party’s new single “One More Chance”!As Jessica said before the song is a little bit creepy but I don’t mind at all. The piano bit makes it. Favorite part.
It’s my favorite part in the music video too, as we see a jolly fellow playing along on the keys as drummer Matt Tong kinda bobs his head along. Lightens the mood as the rest of the video is more haunting. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean.
Kele sings “this time things will be different” and they sure are! Give “One More Chance” a chance.

New Death Cab Video! Brought to You by People Like You.
July 2nd, 2009
Death Cab for Cutie - Little Bribes from Ross Ching on Vimeo.
Have you ever sat down with your camera and a computer, or maybe just a computer, and made a video for your favourite song? Or maybe just imagined doing it? You can admit it, we’re all huge nerds here. I mean, at least I am.
Where I’m going with this is that this dude, Ross Ching, decided to put a video together for the Death Cab for Cutie song “Little Bribes”, from The Open Window EP. It’s this cute stop-motion thing you see above you. And it was actually good, unlike videos that maybe someone has done with a paint program: so good that DCFC said “Hey! We want to make this our official video!”, and that’s what happened.
Cool huh? Means that maybe even you with your powerpoint slides might get somewhere one day if you keep at it.

First Official Drake Video = Come ON!!!!
July 2nd, 2009
You’ve got the hype of a billion souls behind you, you’ve got a BIG TUNE that sets clubs on fire, and you scored KANYE WEST to direct your video. But somewhere, somehow, something went a liiiiiiittle bit wrong. For your first music video out of the gate, it had to come HARD. And this? Doeeesssss not. I am saying this constructively, with love. MAD, crazy, wild, monkey love. We, the people, are disappointed.
I’m not putting this on Drake - I’m putting this in the hands of Kanye or management (I’m not sure if there was actually a record label to deal with at the time of shooting). With ‘Ye’s unique catalogue of directed videos, I would have imagined something innovative and stylish. With Drake’s viral spread of his mixtape, I would have hoped for a video that was equally shareable. Am I being too much of a hater? What do you think of it?
