I came across this song on kanyeuniversecity.com. The beat is great and the it's nice to see a UK singer mixing it up with Kanye. Check out the video and song and tell me what you think.

Spoon to release new EP on Tuesday.

The fantastic band called Spoon will release a surprise EP on tuesday. The band had not mentioned any release or give their record company enough time to market it. But the band will no doubt have rabid fans flock to the stores in hopes of hearing anything new from Spoon. The EP will include 3 new songs which consist of "Got Nuffin," "Tweakers," and "Stroke Their Brains." Check out them performing live on David Letterman a few years ago.

Inglorious Basterds Trailer

I have been talking about this movie a lot in the blog as of late. Maybe it's because this summer has only produced 5 movies worth watching. (Star Trek, Drag Me To Hell, The Hangover, Up and 500 Days of Summer) I really think this movie can be something fun for everyone. Okay, maybe not children but adults looking for some funny dialogue and violence. Check out the trailer. The film is directed by Quentin Tarrantino and stars Brad Pitt.

Muse - Feeling Good

After listening to all of Muse's albums, I was surprised to find that I had never really listened to this song. "Feeling Good" is a cover that Muse put on their 2001 album "The Origin of Symmetry." The song is classic Muse and is haunting with it's great guitar and piano. Take a listen with the video underneath. Muse's new album "The Resistance" will be released this September. By far the most anticipated album of the year.

Triumph invades Bonnaroo!

Conan O'brien has brought one of his favorite late night segments to 'The Tonight Show.' Triumph the Insult Comic Dog has been made infamous from his trips to Star Wars movie premieres and Bon Jovi concerts. This is one of his better outings because of the hilarious hippies he interviews. Enjoy Triumph making fun of the crowd and artists at Bonnaroo.

Happy Father's Day

Two videos at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. What better way to celebrate Father's Day than with two great clips that really make us think of dad's all across the universe.

New Italian "Inglorious Basterds" Poster

If you are a QT fan than you have to be excited about this August's "Inglorious Basterds." The spelling still confuses me but maybe it will be explained in the movie. After a summer that has only given us 3 great movies (Hangover, Star Trek and Drag Me To Hell) through June, I hope July and this film in August can turn it around. Finally Brad Pitt and Quentin reunite after "True Romance" when QT only wrote the script. This movie is going to be very violent and by the looks of the reviews from CANNES very fun. Brad Pitt is the only real star in the film but QT has a way of brining out the best in character actors. If you haven't guessed by now QT is Quentin Tarantino. Check out the poster for yourselves.

Meanwhile, Mos Def is making meaningful music with a style trying to help the progression of hip-hop. Pick up his new album in stores now or seach "Mos Def" in your iTunes store. Check out Mos Def performing on David Letterman below.

Summer of The Hangover


'The Hangover' has taken Hollywood by storm to become the most profitable film this summer. The Todd Phillips comedy has scored two straight weekends at the number 1. What is it about this movie that is making customers come back for more.? Answer: It's a great movie in a summer filled with disappointing sequels and reboots. 'The Hangover' is an original comedy that doesn't have any real movie stars. Don't take my word for it check out the numbers on movies not reaching their expectations and causing studio executives to scratch their heads.

Angels and Demons
Budget: $150 Million
Actual Earned: $123 Million

Terminator Salvation:
Budget: $200 Million
Actual Earned: $113 Million

Land of the Lost
Budget: $100 Million
Actual Earned: $34 Million

Imagine That
Budget: $55 Million
Actual Earned: $5 Million

The Hangover
Budget: $35 Million
Actual Earned: $105 Million

Maybe it's time to stop rebooting and making sequels? Perhaps studios should stop giving Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell $20 Million a moive until they produce a hit? With next week not providing a guaranteed hit, look for 'The Hangover' and 'Up' to keep up the big money. For now enjoy the music video for 'Stu's Song.'

The Limousines - Very Busy People (Song)

Every summer a song comes along that will take over the radio and make a generation feel like, "this song is about me." I normally see them from a mile away and this summer is no different. It hasn't gotten much radio play yet, but I'm sure someone at KROQ or MTV will find this soon and make us all regret ever liking it. Just like MGMT last year with 'Time to Pretend.' The Limousines- 'Very Busy People' is that song. The band doesn't even have a music video yet because they're record company probably doesn't know what they have yet. Check it out and listen again. You might find that you love this song as much as I do.

Vania and the Master - Forget

Here's a really cool music video I came across on Kanye's page. Check it out and let me know what you think.
