Where the Wild Things Are

Oh My Gosh!! This movie is going to epic. I am sooooo excited for it and I have only seen the trailer. This is legitimately one of the things I have looked forward to the most in this year. If you do not know Where the Wild Things Are is a beloved childhood tail of adventure and awesome creatures. This movie is directed by Spike Jonze and is derived from this wonderful book by Maurice Sendak.

BEHOLD....the trailer


Be excited!

The Dead Weather

Jack White is back! This time though, he is with yet another new group, The Dead Weather. This may be his best side project yet, and he isn't even playing the guitar! They sound alot more like the White Stipes, especially compared to the Raconteurs. Here are the band members:

Alison Mosshart [The Kills] - Vocals
Dean Fertita [QOTSA] - Guitars
Jack Lawrence [The Raconteurs] - Bass
Jack White - Drums and Vocals

I am especially excited about Alison Mosshart. Her and Jack's voice go so well together, and she is superb with The Kills. Little Jack Lawrence is always great too, and Jack's drumming is hot and fresh. You can listen to their first two songs on their website: www.thedeadweather.com. I am especially loving Hang You From the Heavens. I look forward to seeing this band shape up to out-do the Raconteurs.

Coachella Adds!

Its that time again! The Chemical Brothers, The Orb, Etienne De Crecy, Plump Dj's, Devandra Banhart, Murder City Devils, and Busy P have all been added to this years Coachella lineup!! Finally, the Sahara is set for Saturday and Sunday.

In addition, Amy Winehouse has been forced to cancel her scheduled appearance. Appartnely, she was unable to obtain a work permit for the US, since she is currently in a court case for assaulting a fan. This leaves some room on Saturday, which hasn't been taken up yet. Maybe there is yet another add in store for us? We will see soon enough.

Heres some live videos to get you aquainted with some of the new adds:

The Chemical Brothers


Etienne De Crecy


Plump Dj's

Daft Punk to do TR2N Soundtrack

Thats right, Daft Punk is going to make the soundtrack to the sequel of TRON, titled TR2N. The film is scheduled to release in 2011 though, which is quite a way off. Nonetheless, this is coming from the duo that brought us some of the best electronic music and arguably the greatest live show ever. Not to mention the highly overlooked Electroma and Interstella 5555. I am definitely looking forward to this. Here is the article from Billboard:

Have You Ever?

Have you ever been kidnapped at 5:30 in the morning, blindfolded, and forced to jump in a pool?
That is what I experienced this morning. I woke up to find my fellow service org members telling me to jump out of bed and not grab anything except for my key (to get into my room) and sandals. We were then lead to hold hands with other new members as they guided us through obstacles to get us to where the pool is on campus. When we got to the pool I knew that we would have to jump in. I jumped in with my sweatshirt, shirt, pajama pantss, and sandals on (as well as my underwear).
Good thing that this was all for fun...we got donuts afterwards!
YAY!

Grapevine Fires

This is the new video for Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie. Directed by Walter Robot.
Based on a true story.
Artistically rendered, and pretty darn emotional.
I love this song and I especially love it in this form.
