Luchadors And Indie Clerks

The first of many small posts informing you on whats going on in the TV, Movie and Music world, along with some other news and downloads. This time around we have TV news, trailers for two new films, and several legal mp3s, plus a few more things.

ON THE TV BOX:
-New LOST this Wednesday. Claire explores the location that she had been taken too while kidnapped, while Jack and Locke argue like schoolgirls about the prisoner. Thank god we don't have to wait for another repeat of past episodes like they do every other week.

-Deal Or No Deal beat The Apprentice premiere last night ratings wise, which I thought was pretty ironic since Trump appeared and promoted the new season on Deal. Don't particurally like both shows since I don't enjoy watching stupid people handling money like their in grade school.

-The Torino Olympics officialy bombed ratings wise, making it one of the highest unwatched Olympic coverage in TV history. Hey, I'm kind of glad they're over now, because that means more Office and Conan for me! The only events I ended up really watching was skiing, just to laugh at Bodie ruin his reputation.

FLICKS:
-Mustache Ahoy!: New trailer for the film "Nacho Libre" starring Jack Black, directed by Napolean Dynamite director Jared Hess and School Of Rock writer Mike White. What do you think?



-Whats next? Manos: Hands Of Fate?: Oh crap, their remaking The Omen? Damn! And whose going to "redo" the amazing work Gregory Peck did? Liev "Manchurian Candidate" Schreiber. Is there some remake list Hollywood has against classic 70's horror films?

-Better Than Tv: Channel 101 and Channel 102 posted it's new pilots and prime time shows a couple of days ago, and their all grade A stuff. I hope Classroom and Yacht Rock stay in their longer, since they're better than most shows on TV these days.

-Minus The Katie Holmes Factor...: ....this film looks pretty good. Don't smoke eithier. I'm starting to love all of these non-sequitar comedies coming out recently. Will this be a good one?



-Boo-Hoo: Slovakia is disgusted by it's protrayal in the new Eli Roth film "Hostel", in which the movie took place, since it makes the area seem "that of sin" and "damages the good reputation of Slovakia". Hey, relax, Slovakia! Just remember it was a real shitty movie anyways.

TUNES:
-Rise Up With Fists: Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins will perform on The Late Late Show (The one with the annoying british guy) on March 21st, seven days before I'll see here down here in Austin. Even though I can't stand that Ferguson guy, he's had a number of great musical guests on his show, including Wolf Parade. Seriously, mad props to that unfunny guy.

-Elliot Smith Fans: Look for the legendary indie hero play another Tupac and sing on Californian singer/songwriter trio Goldenboy's new album in stores now.

-Poetry With Lots Of Bass: Almost of half of Ghostface Killah's album has leaked, and you can scavange various music blogs to find the .mp3s. Two new tracks were released to Spine Magazine, and are free to download. Very very MF Doom-esque, eh?
"The Champ" MP3
"Crackspot" MP3

-Fly Like Superman: Rolling Stone did a great interview with one of my heroes, Kinks frontman Ray Davies, talking about his new album and a Kinks reunion. Cross your fingers.

-Anarchy In The Hall Of Fame: Click here to read the Sex Pistol's statments to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame regarding becoming nominated and inductees. Needless to say, the response is one of the many reasons why the Pistols will always be the most punk a punk band can be with.

-Tune Recommendation For This Post: Architecture In Helsinki. Like Arcade Fire but more electronic popsy. Oh, and a lot more Australian. Check out their songs "Do The Whirlwind" and "Frenchy, I'm Faking."

INTERNET THING OF THE WEEK:

Anybody have some mainstream medication? These guys remind me of me, which isn't a good thing.



See you next post, kiddos.
