You Want a Piece of Me?

First off, I can truly express how much distaste for I have for Megan Fox being on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Second, what she says in the article is totally bullshit. I suggest to avoid reading it at all costs.

To top it off, I really like what she has to say about flying in airplanes. Apparently Megan is afraid to fly so she listens to Britney Spears on the plane. Her reasoning is that "You are not going to die listening to Britney Spears."

I don't think this is necessarily true, but I would think that it would be horrendously cruel for God to let someone die listening to Britney.

In the past, I would sometimes ask people what music or song they would like to listen to while they die. Various answers ensued. My answer five years ago was "Hello goodbye" by the Beatles. I don't discount this choice, but I have changed my mind.

Lately I've been thinking that while I pass on I would like to listen to the sweet disintegrating sounds of Interpol. That would be oddly beautiful and cynical. Perhaps to "Obstacle 2" or "Narc". Dying to Britney would definitely be ironic, especially to "Toxic" or "Piece of Me".

Damn, Disney...

Dear Disney,

We all know I am a slave to those black mouse ears, but doing a remake/sequel of Tron is even questionable to me.

I think Tron should be left alone. Every movie they attempt to remake lately ends in disaster. Especially when it will be this costly (reported costs are estimated at $150 million).

However, Disney's choice for Sam Flynn I completely agree with. According to sources Sam Flynn is to be played by Garrett Hedlund (from Four Brothers and Georgia Rule). I don't mind watching that hot piece on the screen while the revamped Tron crashes and burns.

Death of the Typewriter

Forget Kate Moss, Hunter S. Thompson is in town and here to stay. He showed the typewriter who's boss. He is my idol/muse. From him I'm to learn how to show the keyboard who's the new sheriff in town.

Time to rehash the 'vegas book', pound through his biography and read some of his old articles. It's time to experience Hunter through Hunter's eyes, his writings. Let's just hope this time I survive and come out Gonzofied.

Oooh Ohhh

Daniel Wesley

Straight out of Vancouver, this B.C. native is sure to make you "get your groove on.

I have had the pleasure seeing Mr. Wesley live 3 times and also recieving 1 random hug.

His music is as if Jack Johnson and Damian Marley gave birth to an albino child.

It's intimate and raw at the same time.

His new album drops Oct. 20th!

Would You Hit It?

Nicky Cage in all of his glory. His acting skills can only go up from here....

Beauties

Empire of the Sun- Magical frolicing music, other-worldly videos and now sell outs. I'm not overly impressed that every band/artist out there feels the need to sell their songs to some corporation ie- Apple, Cadillac, Sony, etc. I didn't think this would happen with Empire of the Sun, but it did just the same as Justice. I guess the wise words of Liz Lemon can sum it up: "Suck it monkeys, I'm going corporate!"

Of Moons, Birds & Monsters..

So this is really delayed but let's finish up the music month of August.

Honorable mentions: The Teenagers, MGMT, Phoenix, At the Drive- In, Empire Of the Sun, HIM, Tori Amos, The Faint, N.E.R.D., Lo- fi Fnk, Turbonegro, Broken Social Scene, K-os,The Arcade Fire, Tegan and Sara, Blondie, and Nirvana
