OMG, this looks insanely fantastic. I’m a huge fan of The Doors so a documentary covering from the time of their formation to Morrison’s death and narrated by Johnny Depp is probably gonna end up being one of my all time favourite documentaries.
I hope and pray I get a chance to see this VERY soon.
A friend was kind enough to send me the new album from Them Crooked Vultures. I only heard of the band a month or two ago but when I learned that it was Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones I knew I’d love their material. I absolutely do.
The whole album is available to be listened to on the official website so by now I’d say anyone interested in them has heard all the songs. Still, I wanted to put it up on here just in case someone is reading this and is unaware of the band.
Below is the fourth track on the album.
Them Crooked Vultures - Dead End FriendsIf you like what you hear go and buy the album, because despite the members of the band not liking the term “supergroup”, Them Crooked Vultures are probably the best example of a supergroup seen so far.
Here’s the super awesome The Office webisode featuring Subtle Sexuality and their track “Male Prima Donna”.
My love for Mindy Kaling and Ed Helms knows no end. Ellie Kemper and BJ Novak now join them. God this is so fucking awesome.
From a fairly average episode of How I Met Your Mother comes this fantastic music video from Marshall about the evening Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin had.
This looks fucking awesome. And it sounds like it has a killer soundtrack.
The film tells the story of a mine-worker named Power’s who’s love of drums and lack of musical skill has turned him into the ridiculed “air drummer” of his small town. But when his union-leader father calls a strike at the mine, Power discovers an underground subculture of air-drummers who just might hold the key to changing the world. Power’s journey across America brings him face-to-face with his town’s greatest enemy, and allows him to discover the beat within his own heart.
The synopsis doesn’t sound mindblowing, but the trailer makes this thing out to be a cross between Napoleon Dynamite, Zoolander and Almost Famous. Or something like that anyway. Whatever it is, it has Michael McKean and Jane Lynch in it, so it’s probably gonna be great due to that alone.
Adventures of Power is due to open on October 9th. No date yet for poor old me here in Oz.
I just got around to watching Letterman from the other day and I was pleasantly surprised to see Silversun Pickups as the musical guest.
I’m a huge fan of their music and they did a fantastic live performance of “Panic Switch” from their album Swoon. Their drummer Chris was just insane.
I absolutely hate myself for admitting it, but I have to say that Lady Gaga appeals to me. She makes catchy bubble pop with a hint of softcore porn, plus she dresses slutty, so in my mind there’s really nothing to dislike.
Here she is rehearsing for the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards.

I haven’t seen the original and I have no interest in seeing this remake, but here’s the new trailer for Fame. Those of you who are in to this sort of flick will probably get a kick out of it, so enjoy.
