News for Monday: Festival News, and the Future!

Monday, May 11th, 2009

* Virgin Festival organizers have announced which five Canadian provinces (up from last year’s two) will play host to V-Fest installments this year. Which is pretty vague. Perhaps they fail to realize how BIG our provinces are…

* More Festival News! Line ups for Music Waste’s festival in Vancouver, and a summary of the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest line up in, uh, Ottawa, the Oxegen Festival line up in Ireland, the T in the Park festival line up in Scotland, and the Heineken Open’er Festival line up in Poland, of all places. I <3 the Summer Concert Season SO MUCH.

* 17 years later... SNL alum Jimmy Fallon finally gets his college diploma. That’s some victory lap, alright.

* The Future is getting kinda scary. Think about this: a “Guitar Hero” concert tour, or what about a World of Warcraft movie? Talk about taking a good idea too far.

* Oh Oasis, always getting into trouble: this time with a sex turkey (?!)

* Good news: the Snoopy host of Dogg After Dark has been cleared of assault charges for allegedly beating a man who climbed onstage at one of his 2005 concerts. Confusing news: what does anyone need a brass knuckle microphone for?

DJ HERO Controller shown!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

We’ve been waiting for this one for ages.
I’ve complained in the past that my living room looks like backstage of a plastic Lee’s Palace with all the plasticizeg geetars and drums lyin around.
… but this might replace them all.

Activision has released a sneak peek at their upcoming DJ Hero controller. What do you think? It looks pretty slick and would look sharp on a coffee table.

Here’s what Activision has to say. What are your thoughts? Will this be the new Friday night party of choice?

DJ Hero expands Guitar Hero’s signature social gaming to all-new consumers with the addition of diverse music genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. Introducing an all-new innovative turntable controller, DJ Hero transforms players into DJs who rule the club scene by creating original mixes of popular songs and music from the world’s most exciting artists and DJs.
