My favourite new Christmas song, courtesy of The Killers. Bad-ass video clip too - this Santa seems like he wandered out of a Quentin Tarantino remake of Miracle on 34th Street. Love the jumper that BFlow (that’s leadman Brandon Flower’s new moniker, you know, like PDiddy) is wearing. Hope I get one like that for [...]

“This is Rock ‘N Roll!”

Wow, forget a drum kit for Christmas. I’m going to launch my assault on the music world with this tiny little keyboard. Look out Wolfmother!
I love how he plays the air drums while he hits the keys. I just wish this dude finished up his big finale with a single cymbal crash and a shy [...]

Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation

I don’t know anything about these guys (except their name sounds like Mark Wahlberg’s new sidekick in ‘Shooter 2: Swagger’s Revenge), but I love the George Harrison-esque guitar and the slightly alt-country vibe of the song. I just saw this on the Youtube vid preview screen and thought I’d check it out. Nice little clip, [...]

What’s going on?
December 21st, 2007 · No Comments
So I thought I should write a bit of a catch-up blog on what’s been going on in the last week or so. I’ve been a bit distracted lately, and my writing output has been pretty sub-par, but I plan to rectify that in the New Year (oh, that and cut down my drinking, lose [...]

Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love my Fleetwood Mac. Just last week I finally bought their Greatest Hits album which is not surprisingly a thoroughly enjoyable 60+ mins with hardly a letdown. I would even go so far as to say the trio of Buckingham / Nicks / McVie was probably [...]

Check out this awesome Thai commercial for lightbulbs (you’ll be thinking “lightbulbs?” … trust me, it pays off in the end). Oh, those wacky Thai people and their ghosts….

Na nah na nah na nah na nah nah…. Batman!

Check out this beautiful High Res trailer for ’The Dark Knight’, the sequel to Chris Nolan’s ‘Batman Begins’ …. some very intriguing hints at where they are going with this. Ledger’s Joker should be fascinating if they are really going in the Alan Moore direction i.e. more realistic and insane.
What got my blood pumping even more is this slightly dodgy video [...]

“It’s alive.”

Here’s a sneak peek at ‘Cloverfield’, the new film produced by JJ Abrams and directed by Matt Reeves (the guy who co-created the underrated ‘Felicity’ with Abrams). It’s coming out in the US early next year, and the online hype has been building for months, with many speculating just what is behind the chaos and [...]

Rocky Stefanovic
December 16th, 2007 · No Comments
Gotta give credit to Karl Stefanovic for putting his money where his mouth is - after he bagged out Wendell Sailor’s ‘girlish’ boxing form on the Today show last week, Stefanovic was challenged over the weekend to step into the ring for charity and take a few ‘girly’ punches himself. And it seems like he’s accepting [...]

Love this new commercial for Lebron James new Nike release. Simple, classical, effective - and the homage to the Jumpman in the final frame is classy. It takes an ad like this to remind me that he is only 22 - and on par for who knows how many MVP awards if he stays healthy (starting with [...]
