Song of the Day: ‘The Mess Up’

February 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The description for this clip by Brisbane garage rockers DZ says it all…. “2 guys, 1 bottle of Jagermeister, 3 minutes.” No prizes for guessing how this one ends…

Caught these guys playing support for Tame Impala last night and loved every minute of them. Very energetic performance, great stage presence, thundering drumming and howling guitar [...]

Winslet’s ‘Plan’

February 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Check out this clip from ‘Extras’, where Kate Winslet gets spookily prescient with her reasoning behind choosing to star in a ‘Holocaust movie’ (like ‘The Reader’, for which she just won the Best Actress Academy Award):

Clever girl. I’m sure Cuba Gooding Jnr has his agent on the phone at the moment….

The Adam Carolla Podcast

February 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve mentioned it once or twice on the blog before, but my daily dose of The Adam Carolla Show was one of my favourite parts of the day. So the discovery that the show was being axed from the radio last week came as a rude shock. It’s hard to explain to those who don’t [...]

My Thoughts on the 81st Oscars

February 25th, 2009 · No Comments

First off, a big thanks to Channel 9 for making me so pissed off I couldn’t even be bothered blogging about the Oscars yesterday. I’d love to know which moron thought it would be a great idea to a) run an episode of Underbelly 2 beforehand, pushing the start time back to 9:30 p.m., and [...]

WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Colonel Gibson

February 25th, 2009 · No Comments

This post was drafted but not posted last week, before my server went down….
Apparently Mel Gibson is sporting this interesting new look for an upcoming movie.

Are we sure it’s not a Colonel Sanders bio-pic?

It didn’t take long for Jimmy Kimmel live to beat me to the punch….

“Finger Lickin’ Dead.” Love it.

The People vs. George Lucas

February 19th, 2009 · No Comments

I don’t view George Lucas as ‘the Antichrist’, or think that he ‘raped my childhood’, but I can agree with a lot of the sentiment in the trailer for this upcoming documentary. Particularly the evident disappointment in the voice of the subject who reveals Lucas’ ‘pile of scripts’ that he really wanted to make but [...]

Song of the Day: Chips Ahoy

February 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Again I’m way late to the party on these guys, but I’m falling in love with The Hold Steady from Brooklyn, U.S.A.
This is ‘Chips Ahoy!’ (horrible song name) from their ‘Boys And Girls In America’ album. It gives you a taste of what The Hold Steady is about; catchy riffs, singalong choruses, bombastic sonics. [...]

Doubt

February 17th, 2009 · No Comments

John Patrick Shanley’s ‘Doubt’ is definitely an actor’s film, which should come as no surprise to those who have made note of it’s four acting nominations in this years Oscars. I use the term ‘actor’s film’ in both a complimentary and slightly perjorative way. The film’s relatively thin plot means its success relies upon the [...]

Song of the Day: ‘I’m The Man Who Loves You’

February 17th, 2009 · No Comments

Ahhhhh Wilco. When do you ever not bring a smile to my face?

This track, from their amazing ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’ album, is just a perfect love song in my opinion. I can totally dig Jeff Tweedy’s wish that communicating love was as simple as taking someone’s hand, not the dizzying brain swirl of trying to [...]
