What’s up bloggers and froggers? It’s been awhile but I am back. We also have a new poster on wayside. Her name is Mckenzie. She is Mckenzie.

So what’s new in the world? Well I tapped into a new comedy goldmine. It’s people scaring the shit out of little kids. Let me show you.

Some strange news in the movie world. David Fincher and Zack Snyder have signed on to direct the new heavy metal movie.

Andrew Heath, roommate and follow wayside blogger, recently turned me onto a very dorky American manga by the name of Scott Pilgrim.


Now it is being turned into a movie,

Negatives:
1. Michael Cera is playing Scott Pilgrim. This is bad because I really don’t like Michael Cera. He was only funny in Arrested Development and has just been playing George-Michael over and over ever since. He has n o future and I want him to retire.
2. It is being adapted by Michael Bacall, who played Perry in the first Free Willy. I’m pretty sure I don’t like him even though I don’t have any real reason.

Positives:
1. It is being directed by Edgar Wright, who did Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.
2. Leading Lady Ramona Flowers is being played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who is not only really cute, but strangely looks like Ramona Flowers.




Here is the new Star Trek trailer. Supposedly it was shown before Quantum Of Solace, but I didn’t see it. I don’t fully understand the opening scene, and Spock looks like a guy dressed as Spock for Halloween. I think anybody who watches Heroes might be weirded out by this.
It’s too new to embed but if you want Watch it here
While I was trying to find the new Star Trek trailer I found this:

reminds me of aphex twin.

Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. Now from today but hey hey hey.


When my sister and I were very young our parents allowed us to watch a mix of G – R rated movies, which included: Aladin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Steak Out, Alien…etc. Of all of those movies there was one that was a little over our heads…this was of course Escape to Witch Mountain. Now 15 years later I am presented with a remake… starring the 13-year old apple of my eye Anna Sophia Robb.


I’m in.

Now don’t get your panties in a twist, but this is a Online Backcountry Survival Guide guide I found.

Also. I don’t fully understand This Website but I recommend looking at it.


Quote of the day:
We are trying to get a full stop-motion version of Gris Grimly’s PINOCCHIO off the ground, with the Jim Henson Company. The idea came from Gris, and everybody loves his book about it. The original story is far more perverse and spooky and semi-necrophilia vibe to it in certain aspects. Gris certainly has that vein in him, he wants to do this with that original spookiness in it, we are trying to get it going The Jim Henson Company is the behind it and we are currently working on the screenplay! Its not coming to a screen near you any time soon, even if it were to begin today it would be about three years in the making, but we are working to make it happen. A full-scale puppet universe takes time.
- Guillermo del Toro
That’s all for now.

Here it is wanda!

I new. I am new to this. I am all new to this. Because of cory's somewhat open arms...here I am! A new baby girl! "Wanda! A new baby girl!"

I havent yet recieved a tutorial on how to post music yet, however I found a few videos that I wanted to put on this first blog....

Lykke Li (pronounced lick-E-lee...) has a voice like nothing I've heard and I watched several interviews to decipher where she is from and still...I got-nothin. I could look it up I guess. Anyway, some of her songs are too poppy-UK for me, but this is a live collaboration between Lykke Li (remember..LIKE-E-LEE) and Bon Iver to the song 'Dance Dance Dance' and I like it. Bon doesnt do very much, but we'll call it good.



And I almost forgot....

You're looking fat

I haven't really been looking for new music that much these days. mostly i've just been working and working. But here are a coupla songs that have been on my mind lately.



Even though I love David Byrne and Brian Eno (probably about equally) i never would have thought to pick up their new split CD, Everything that happens will happen today, if i hadn't heard it on KEXP
. To me they're a coupla old men and old men usually have no buisness making music. this song (and most of the album) is totally rad and funky to the max. the guy who runs the afternoon show always puts in on and when he does I can't help but move my body a little bit.
next...



Strange Geometry is a like a pseudo break up album for me in that i listened to it a lot when i got dumped a few years back, but i never really have connected any big emotions to it. the most vivid memory i have of listening to the album was this one time at Lolita's when Cory and our friend Wiley and I all ran into a bunch of acquaintances and they sat down with us and talked a whole lot. for some reason i felt totally marginalized (as far as conversations in big groups go) so i put on my headphones and listened to the first three songs three times each. then i whispered to cory that we should leave.
Strange Geometry (and all of The Clientele's albums) makes me think of the fall and in seattle the fall has more or less arrived. I think soon i will post a little fall mix or sampler or something.

ok bye

i aint never been

The Knowing
(I knowing this movie is gonna be sick. I see a little mothman prophesies, a little the happening (not just the titles being similar) and a little Nick Cage.)


the day the earth stood still


Blindness


When I started watching this I got really stoked because I thought it might be a “Day of the Triffids” remake…but it isn’t.

Day of the Triffids


It’s not so much that I think Hollywood is running out of movie titles, I just think they are getting lazy. It’s sorta good though that they have the courage to take out the word “the” but I know I wouldn’t have been too keen on a band called “Strokes” but I also wouldn’t have been too keen on a band called “The Green Day” (I think “The Green Day could be a Jose and the Pussy Cats reference but I really can’t be too sure.)

OH MY GOD!

Neat huh?


So true. Sometimes i wonder if the vegan fad is on it's way out or not. but i know im not that lucky.

I challenge all you bloggers and froggers to make something really cool on this website. http://thisissand.com/. Make sure it's good, don't waste my fucking time.

I found an online interactive pop-up story bookonline interactive pop-up story book. It's all internet references and I imagine middle aged people would find it hilarious (like Juno hilarious)

If any of yall have those red and blue 3D glasses go to this site and dick around for like 20 minutes.

I found this site this morning and fell in love. It's like interactive Don Hertzfeldt.

At the end of this summer, two of my best friends are moving to greener pastures. One of which (Chris) made her decision over a couple of Boddingtons at McCabes last Saturday to finally make that leap, without any plans or job prospects-- and to simply move to Philly. Her expected move date is sometime in August, as that's when her lease expires, but other than she's going on "when it feels right". Riiiight... idk.

The other has lined up several interviews in Austin, and at the time of writing this has not only secured a teaching position at a lovely Montessori school, but also an apartment there. Melis leaves August 7th. I've decided to make her a mix-- but I haven't really discovered what it is that I should put on for her. It's a little hard to encompass approximately four years of friendship into a single album, and the woman has an exceptionally diverse range; I can't understand how's it possible for someone to both be super into Lynard Skynard and Joanna Newsome. Here's a sample playlist of what I have so far.


Harry Nillson's "Without You".


NKOTB's "Please Don't Go Girl".


OMD's "If you Leave"


Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now"

Obviously the theme is "I Am Gay for You, Please Don't Leave Me."

I HAVE INTERNET!


So I have been working on this post for about 4 weeks now. It has been very difficult for me because the last 4 weeks have been some of my most hectic. I was finishing school, finishing an album, and packing up my life and moved to Seattle. I havnt had internet since I got to Seattle but now I do. So this post is being written over time. This little prologue is being written now. I will try to separate appropriately. I warn you a lot of this news may be old by now.

George Lucas is at his best (I hope you know what I mean) again and has thought up the most excellent movie idea. Ok, so imagine Indiana Jones, no no no not young Indiana Jones, but old Indiana Jones… like the one that’s in the new Indiana Jones. Except take him out… follow? Ok so it’s like Indiana Jones but it’s all about Shia Lebeouf’s character and it is going to blow minds… I guess.

Lucas said this:
“I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,” Lucas told Fox News. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.”

Me too George… me too.

He also said this about Ford… I don’t want to point fingers… but this sounds undeniably gay to me.

“And it’s not like Harrison is even old,” admits Lucas. “I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me.”

I’m just saying… Lucas is a total gay.

My Jew friend from Brooklyn used to say, (in reference to a kid from our Highschool) “I don’t know about Paul.” It sorta became one of his many catch phrases and was always a good chuckle around the coals. It wasn’t until 5 minutes ago while I was buying two Coca-Cola’s (for $2.22, what a deal!) my wandering eyes moved over to this…


I realized that my long developing “shakiness” about Shia has officially rattled into the unknown. I don’t know about Shia Labeouf.


I just spent the last 20 minutes make that image… that’s how shaky I have gotten about this.

5 Things about Shia:
1. I liked him better when he was a nobody on Even Stevens.
2. The whole young males with sleazy stubble on their face is really gross and they should stop. (Daniel Radcliff did this too and I bet $50 that Zack Efron will do it by the end of 08.)
3. He doesn’t compare to anybody, he is just floating around Hollywood and I have no idea why.
4. He’s dumb looking.
5. I don’t know about Shia

I read that If I go see the new Indiana Jones… which I will I’m just waiting for Andrew. I get to see the trailer for Benjamin Button. So I just searched it on youtube. At first I thought that the diologue in the trailer was running in reverse stylistically fit for the plot, but at the end I realized that the trailer is in Spanish. I still refuse to learn Spanish. It’s a dead language.











INVASION: The Battle For Earth.


No, this isn’t a goof trailer. Mash-Up master Dr. E. Bola has created a web series mashing up clips from several different films to create the ultimate apocolypse film. The first five episodes are out for you to watch. Theres probably a better place to watch them but you can see them here http://youtube.com/user/luckasc

You know what to do. GET IN THERE AND KILL EM ALL!

Shirley Ellis' "The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)"
I usually try to feature music videos or recordings from the artist-- but I couldn't resist posting this. I'm pretty sure that I've posted about Mike Long before, but if I haven't, let me just say-- homeboy is a babe and a half, in addition to being a social rocktivist. Long is dedicated to bringing you a mind-blowing dance video for every single day of the year. How thoughtful.


The Kills' "Last Day of Magic"
This might be a little fucked up-- but I pretty much consider this video to be like three and a half minutes of extended foreplay. I swear, you can take the girl out of derby...


Pat Benatar "You Better Run"
Oh hey, Ms. Benatar. You say you're coming my way August 10th?! Yes please. I'll be there in the front row.
