Usually i don't like covers versions or songs with samples of tool's music in them, they never seem to capture the brilliance of the original composition, but this however... this is... well its fucking amazing.
Tool's 'Lateralus' for 8-piece koto ensemble.Beautiful.
Another new Doctor Who clip was aired this morning (on Cbbc... no I wasn't watching it... I swear)Its from the 1st episode, It doesn't really give anything away except Amy's accent.
Not sure if I'm gonna be able to like Amy's accent for 13 episodes
I've been a wrestling fan since I was 3 years old, I use to watch wrestling on UTV's World Of Sport and when I was 4 my father brought me to a wrestling show in my home town, much to my surprise it was the wrestlers I watched every saturday on tv.
From there i got to watching WCW and WWF (Sting was my favourite in the 90's)
Now before you say anything, i kinda always knew wrestling was fake, from about the age of 8 anyways, but it still didnt take away any of the excitement from it.
Wrestling has change alot over the years, wrestlers come an go even some of the companies come an go as well.
I dont think i will ever "grow out" of my love for wrestling, I still love watching it, I still love going to live events. The frequency of watching my go up and down, but there is ONE event which will always turn me into a 4 year old.
WRESTLEMANIA!!
Today is Wrestlemania Sunday, the BIG wrestling event, it is the Superbowl, the FA cup, the Ryder cup of wrestling. If you've heard of wrestling you've heard of Wrestlemania.
This year the main match for me is Shawn Michaels Vs The Undertaker, a repeat clash of last years show stopping match, which was considering the fact that both these men are in their mid 40's one of the best wrestlemania (or indeed wrestling) match in history.
If Shawn loses, then is career is over (yeah, like that happens in pro wrestling) Its enough to make it that little bit more interesting. If Undertaker wins he takes his win loss record at wrestlemania to 18 - 0, a feat which will never be equalled. These two men are living legends of wrestling and have been involved in some of the most famous wrestling matches of the last 25 years.Im a fan of both these guys, when it comes to wrestlemania Shawn Michaels has THEE match of the night, its a master class. As for the Undertaker, well to me he is the man, my fave wrestler and to be honest he is no slouch in the ring at wrestlemania either.It's gonna be epic.
So tonight i get to remember what it was like watching wrestling as a four year old and for ONE match, wrestling gonna be fuckin real to me.
Oh, an ya gotta love the way wwe put promo packages together:
The BBC have released the 'opening' clip from the first episode in the new series, The Eleventh Hour.
Well, thats the shit the blown out of the old tardis console then. Screw this, I'm watching the shit outta those 40 seconds AGAIN!!! Have I mentioned how I can't wait till next Saturday?
I missed Matt Smith on Jonathan Ross this evening (the joys of no TV connection).
There was a new trailer some interviews and a clip from Vampires in Venice.
Trailer:
Trailer is pretty much the same as the American one i posted during the week, but some new clips (Professor Song = Squeeeeeeeeee)
Interview:
Usual Jonathan Ross interview, no reall revlations to be had... well except for
Vampires of Venice Preview:
Not sure of Matts portrayal of the Doctor in this clip, but I loved the 1st Doctors libary card being used as ID... surely after 908 years it would need renewing?
This is the 1st preview trailer that appeared on Comedy Central at the weekend, I do like the nod to their change of networks. Expect a few digs at fox in this season also.
Movie masks some times become more iconic than the movies they came from. Proof in point would be Jason Voorhees hockey mask from the Friday 13th series (even tho he only got the mask in the 3rd film)
So here is a little fun game can you name the movies these masks are from?
Another Doctor Who Trailer, This one for BBC America, worth watching as there are alot of new clips an dialogue. There is one thing about this trailer I don't like, Its the American voice over at the end. It sounds so.... Alien! For me its that well spoken English lady from the BBC, she is the Doctor Who continuity voice, anything else is just wrong.
Love how the tiltle is for series 1/5/31/Fnarg because no one really knows what to name this series.
This is the semifinalists of the Finnish TV show Kuorosota performing Bad Romance. I have no idea what Kurosota is but im gonna guess its similiar to Last Choir Standing.
I know I've had pretty much nothing but negative comments about the new look Doctor Who (logo, tardis, doctor, time vortex) But at the end of the day, there is NEW Doctor Who series starting in 14 days and six hours time.
*SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEE*
Naturally the BBC is going in to full on with its promotion, the official screening has been had and 1st reports are, its all good.
Now for us mere mortals who weren't luck enough to get to the screening. here are some new trailers and preview clips.
You know.... I think i've got to go an lie down..... Can't fuckin wait for Easter.
It's my sixth annual I don't like St. Patrick's Day blog. Whats left for me to say? This time I think i'll point out why I dislike St. Patricks Day in song.
If you do go out to celebrate your heritage or the culture of the Irish today, please don't make a tit of yourself.
This isn't new, but I just discovered it via SxSW where it got its American premier over the weekend.
Matt Harlock & Paul Thomas have spent the last 3 years making AMERICAN – The Bill Hicks Story. This is the Trailer:
Libertarian, outlaw, shaman, philosopher, romantic, preacher, genius… All words banded about to describe the genius that was Bill Hicks, I have listened to Bills work more than ANY other comedian and it never gets stale, it never gets old. In fact sometimes it gets MORE relevant with age.
It is one of the great tragedies that Bill Hicks died when he did as I often wonder how much fun Bill would have had ripping on the politicians of today. I also KNOW he would hate Miley Cyrus.
If you have never heard of Bill Hicks will you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE educate yourself an go listen to some of his material. The clip below is a great place to start.
There are certain things you need to remember when involved in changing the course of human history forever.
Click on the image to get it full size. It does remind me slightly of the lyrics:
Overwhelmed as one would be Placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the one Born to bear and bring to all The details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see. But I forgot my pen
A school district in northern Mississippi has decided to scrap a local high school’s senior prom rather than let 18-year-old Constance McMillen attend the event in a tuxedo with her girlfriend.
The Itawamba County school board made the call to cancel prom following a request from the ACLU of Mississippi that an unconstitutional policy banning same-sex prom dates be changed. A statement released by the school board announcing the nixing of prom refers to the ACLU and Constance McMillen as “distractions to the educational process” without mentioning either by name.
“That’s really messed up because the message they are sending is that if they have to let gay people go to prom that they are not going to have one,” McMillen said in an interview with the Clarion-Ledger. “A bunch of kids at school are really going to hate me for this, so in a way it’s really retaliation.”
Chatroultte is one of those flash in the pans social oddities. You know its time to leave the site when you start talking to a 5year old Its DEFINITELY time leave the site when you are burned by a 5 year old.
