| Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs (2008) |
[May. 14th, 2008|04:33 pm] |
On the chopping block today we have some Death Cab for Cutie, a fairly well known indie band from the States. This album brings a new sound to their songs. They have said that they included more heavy, slow metal type sounds into this release. It sounds pretty cool, worth a look. Enjoy!
Narrow Stairs is the seventh studio album by rock band Death Cab for Cutie. It will be released on May 12, 2008 in the United Kingdom and May 13, 2008 in the United States. The first single of the album was “I Will Possess Your Heart”, released on March 18, 2008.
Death Cab for Cutie is an American indie pop rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band takes its name from a satirical song of the same name, written by Vivian Stanshall and performed by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band on their 1967 album Gorilla and in the Beatles’ experimental movie, Magical Mystery Tour.

| SUSAN HOLMES LOOKS GORGEOUS AS GUNS N' ROSES HUBBY DUFF McKAGAN TALKS GNR REUNION |
[May. 14th, 2008|05:31 pm] |
In a worldwide exclusive, former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan talked about the possibility of a one-night-only GNR reunion on the latest installment of THE HEYMAN HUSTLE, the flagship program of NewsCorp's new global broadband television network. The interview was conducted by Hustle host/producer Paul Heyman, the Extreme Sports Entertainment Icon whose Extreme Wrestling concepts revolutionized the pro wrestling landscape in the 1990s, and whose performances in World Wrestling Entertainment from 2000-2006 included co-hosting Monday Night Raw and acting as on-air "General Manager" of Smackdown.
Heyman's interview with McKagan is inter-spliced with clips of Supermodel Lydia Hearst, Miss USA Cristal Stewart, heiress Ally Hilfiger, and McKagan's wife, Supermodel and bikini fashion designer Susan Holmes.
McKagan also tackles the tough subject of Scott Weiland's departure from Velvet Revolver, and the search for a new lead singer.
But the highlight of the show just might be his wife Susan's dress, which has Heyman practically speechless.
This week's Heyman Hustle can be viewed in its entirety here: http://thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/heyman/article1159951.ece

International rock star Miley Ray Cyrus is being accused of stealing a song from Los Angeles based band Lustra. They claim that Miley Ray's hit 'Rock Star' is a copy of their 2004 tune, 'Scotty Doesn't Know' from the movie Eurotrip. Lustra claims they learned about the song when fans alerted them. The tune is virtually the same, just with different lyrics. Lustra guitarist Nick Cloutman said: 'Although we are very flattered that Ms. Cyrus took this route, we would have preferred some credit..' The band is considering various options to rectify this situation. The spokesman stated: 'The immediate solution is to minimize leaks, and keep all future recordings in a vault, under extreme security.' The hook sounds EXACTLY the same, what do you think? |

Coldplay: 'We won't do a Radiohead'
Chris Martin says he enjoys being on a major label
Coldplay have praised Radiohead and The Raconteurs for pioneering new styles of album releases, but insist that they won't follow suit by giving away albums on the internet or short announcement releases.
Frontman Chris Martin said he enjoys being on a major label, EMI, but talked about the inevitability of the band leaving one day.
"Being on a major label at the moment is like living in your grandparents' house," he told Reuters. "Everyone knows they need to move out, and they will eventually, but we kind of like our grandmother.
"It's obviously an antiquated model [being on a major label], because of the internet, but we really love the people we work with. If we knew what the solution was to everything, then we'd do it.
"We have absolute respect for the Radioheads and The Raconteurs and people who can do what they like. We're in contract though, so we're just going to make the most of it and enjoy the people we get to work with."
The band release new album 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' on June 12.

| Tom Cruise buys Kate a golf membership |
[May. 14th, 2008|02:18 pm] |
|
Tom Cruise is trying to bond with Katie Holmes' dad by playing golf.
The Top Gun star has offered to buy Katie a membership at Los Angeles' prestigious Bel-Air Country Club so they can all play with her father Martin Holmes.
A source told America's Star magazine: "Katie's father is not crazy about Tom, but Tom is really determined to win him over. Mr. Holmes golfs a lot, and now Katie is learning to play. Tom is a member at Bel-Air, and he's in the process of adding Katie to his membership so Katie can take her dad to play with her.
"Adding Katie to his membership is costing Tom $150,000 a year. That's a pretty expensive way to try to impress your father-in-law - unless you're Tom Cruise!"
Although Martin has never spoken out about Tom, sources claim he was unhappy when his daughter started dating the actor in 2005.
He reportedly thought he was a bad influence as he encouraged Katie to join the bizarre sci-fi religion Scientology despite her being raised as a devout Catholic.

Skins 'orgy' poster is banned
A poster promoting Channel 4's teen drama Skins has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
It features two of the stars, April Pearson (Michelle) and Mike Bailey (Sid), surrounded by couples apparently taking part in an orgy.
The ASA said the image "could cause serious or widespread offence" and was inappropriate for poster sites that could be seen by children.
It ordered Channel 4 to stop using the poster after receiving 42 complaints.
But the ASA rejected a complaint about a second poster, showing the character Tony (Nicholas Hoult) lying submerged in a bath with his eyes open.
It also dismissed further complaints that the "orgy" poster condoned underage sex and that the images would encourage children to copy the behaviour.
Channel 4 said it did not mean to cause offence and the second series of Skins clearly showed the "consequences of hedonistic and irresponsible behaviour".

| ICYMI: Oprah, Obama and Reverend Wright Are Apparently This Week’s “Trinity Of Hell” |
[May. 14th, 2008|09:12 pm] |
|
http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/05/14/oprah-obama-and-reverend-wright-are-apparently-this-weeks-trinity-of-hell/  Guys, The Hon. James David Manning just got off the phone with JC and would like to deliver his report on who's making up this week's "Trinity of Hell". As he will tell you in his hilariously stereotypical caricature of black preachers, the big winners are presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama, his ex-preacher Jeremiah Wright, and struggling actor/radio talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. Together they have formed an unholy cabal of evil - united under the terrifying acronym "OOJ" - bent on destroying the Christian universe so Satan can plunder it. How, you ask? White women, closet homosexuals, suspected lesbians, long-legged pimps, and the keys of death and hell. I don't know either, but this is still pretty funny (in a completely insane way), if for no other reason than Oprah is referred to as "the whore girl".

| Does Anyone Remember Jim Henson’s Dog City? I Feel Like I Missed Out On Life |
[May. 14th, 2008|08:50 pm] |
|
http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/05/14/does-anyone-remember-jim-hensons-dog-city-i-feel-like-i-missed-out-on-life/  While perusing the Muppet Wiki entry for Philip Balsam, composer of the "Fraggle Rock" theme song (aka, doing my job), I happened upon the page for another Jim Henson cartoon, "Dog City," a show in which muppet dogs introduced animated scenes and sketches and film parodies with dogs.
I did nothing else from ages 1 to sophomore year of undergrad but watch cartoons, especially obscure "just because it's on" stuff like "Stunt Dawgs" and "James Bond Jr," but I honestly cannot remember watching "Dog City," although I feel like if I had, it would have been (and would still be) my favorite show of all time. And the more I read about it, the more painful this show's absence from the banks of my nostalgia grows:
For the third and final season, Dog City underwent a major format change. The noir and detective spoofs and references were fewer and far between, with more science fiction or situation comedy elements as the main animated plotlines.
There were doggie noir spoofs?? Awww, man!!!! What else did I miss out on??
These included... "His Master's Choice Theater" (a Masterpiece Theater spoof hosted by Bugsy from his prison cell)... and "The Woof Pack," a superhero spoof starring The Watch Dog, a guest character from season 2 created as a take-off of Alan Moore's Watchmen.
Without ever having seen an episode that I can recall, I'm gonna go ahead and declare "Dog City" the most underappreciated show in television history, and demand that all three seasons be released on DVD.
Those of you who are fortunate enough to remember the show, please tell me that I'm right.

Parton 'Shocked' At 'Howard Stern' Segment
Dolly Parton has hit back against "The Howard Stern Show," which last week manipulated recordings from one her audio books into seemingly racist and sexually graphic sound bites.
"I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton says in a statement. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this."
"If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this," she continued. "Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this."
The "Stern" show frequently utilizes audio book recordings in this fashion; altered clips from "Star Trek" actor George Takei became a staple of the program in recent years.

| A little salt in the cancellation wound |
[May. 14th, 2008|04:06 pm] |
Fans of Moonlight have been working hard to show their support for the show. Before cancellation was announced, they worked with Red Cross for blood drives, donating blood in lieu of sending garlic or such to the networks. Now they're bombarding CBS with calls and letters and emails.
But Holly Valance, who appeared on the show once and is the real-life girlfriend of the show's star, Alex O'Laughlin, isn't coming across as grateful.
( Holly's MySpace Message )
That was way harsh, Tai. I get frustation with these campaigns, but way to seem like a bitch to a group of fans who have actually done stuff to help out other people while trying to support their show.

| Fug Girls Handicap the Winner of America's Next Top Model |
[May. 14th, 2008|04:48 pm] |
As tonight’s finale of America's Next Top Model looms — at stake for the "lucky" winner: a year of being relegated to terrible TV spots, traveling to CoverGirl factories, and getting almost no other work — we find ourselves struggling to decide which of the three remaining model wannabes is most likely to bring it home. There's Whitney, the first plus-size girl to make it this far; Fatima, an occasionally bitchy Somalian beauty with a heartbreaking backstory; and Anya, who gamely allowed the ANTM crew to wash her hair with peroxide, talks like a Russian surfer chick with an adenoid problem, and somehow manages to win a lot of challenges. It's a tight contest — even resident horndog Nigel Barker doesn't seem to be batting his bedroom eyes at anyone in particular — but that won't stop us from making predictions about the contestants' chances.
 ANYA
Pros: She takes the best pictures (despite that cracked-out makeover), has the best walk, and hardly ever shows up to the panel dressed like a rejected Hot Topic mannequin. As a bonus, happy-go-lucky Anya offers encouragement to her competitors that — gasp! — actually seems sincere.
Cons: Her marble-mouthed accent could be incomprehensible in the finale's commercial challenge — and might make for a very, very long cycle of "My Life As a CoverGirl" spots in which we see Anya putting on WetSlicks for her speech-therapy classes.
Odds: 2-1. Unless she totally bones the ad, Anya’s hard to deny. After all, there’s a long history of Top Model winners being scolded for their inability to speak clearly yet winning anyway (Jaslene and Danielle, anyone?).
 FATIMA
Pros: The most physically stunning of the three, Fatima's genuinely tragic story of genital mutilation should strike a chord with a lot of people — and not just as the subject of Tyra's talk show, although we're pretty sure that's how it would start. It’s about time Top Model used its success to bring attention to issues other than the heartbreak of being forced to model in Paris when you're 17, and Banks & Co. are too smart not to know that.
Cons: Fatima’s walk is … not good. She jukes at the end of the runway like she's trying to dodge a tackler.
Odds: 5-1. We’ve heard complaints that she looks too much like Iman, although as far as we’re concerned, it is impossible to look too much like Iman.
 WHITNEY
Pros: She's sexy, and she's got kind of a sassy mouth on her, which we enjoy. Whitney’s face feels tailor-made for mainstream ads and Seventeen's cover, and if she were to win, crowning a trailblazing plus-size model would get Tyra a nice round of body-positive publicity.
Cons: The judges tell Whitney to own her curves, get cranky when she then attempts to work her booty, and then scold her for not sticking it out far enough. Those sorts of helpful mixed messages have caused stronger front-runners to self-destruct — hell, they almost have us turning to the bottle.
Odds: 7-1. Whitney’s photos have been hit-and-miss, thanks in part to the judges' contradictory advice (bless their lunatic souls). Still, you know Tyra has been itching to anoint a girl with curves, and frankly, we're similarly rooting for Whitney to pull the upset — if for no other reason than to imagine the outrage from beanpole advocates like ex-judge Janice Dickinson. After all, if the show can’t produce an actual top model, the least it can do is stir up a little tabloid drama.
