The Movie Magic of Sound

This is a neat little video about the art of Foley, or making sounds for movies. It features foley artist Gary Hecker as he gives insight to this crucial piece of movie making magic.

The League of Extraordinary Dancers!

If you could have any one superpower, what would it be? Flight, telekenesis, super strength? What about, the power of DANCE! I bring you, the LXD, the League of Extraordinary Dancers! Haha, that's right, this is an actual web series by the creators of Step Up 2 and 3D. Imagine "Heroes" + "You Got Served." From B-boys to pop-and-lock to tapdancing, this show covers it all. It sounds goofy, and it is, but dammit if it isn't awesome and entertaining!

Episodes from season one, "The Uprising Begins" can be found at on Hulu. For those of you with Netflix, the entire season can be found in full-length feature movie format. Check out one of my favorite episodes as it gives instruction on how to be noticed by the LXD for possible recruitment.

Drink up for hidden messages

Oh snap! I gotta have some of these! At first glass, it looks like a bunch of random dots and crap on these glasses right?

WRONG! There are actually hidden messages that can be revealed upon adding various liquids.

My First Concert: Tokyo Police Club, Arkells and the Freelance Whales

At age 23, I've finally made it to my first concert. That's right, it took me 23 years, and what? But, it's safe to say I finally understand the hype in going to them. I recently attended a concert at the Vogue headlining Tokyo Police Club, with opening bands Arkells and the Freelance Whales. The openers were surprisingly good! So I'm going to share with you the bands I saw last nite.

Arkells is a rock band from Canada. They were pretty rockin', too bad there was only one guy dancing to them. Anyways, I hadn't heard of them until this point, but I'm definitely glad I have now.

"The Boss is Coming":


"Pulling Punches"


Next up were the Freelance Whales. This group was interesting. I mean, they had a girl, what!? Not only this, but they did have a xylophone, a banjo, a harmonica, a synthesizer, and some dude playing his guitar with a violin string. They followed the high energy Arkells which I figured would be an odd transition, but they managed to rock out on the xylophone pretty hard (think a drum solo, but on one of these!).

"Generator 2nd Floor"


"Hannah"


After these two great openers finally came the Tokyo Police Club. I didn't like live music in concert would be this amazingly different, but damn was it awesome! Bright lights, loud drums, rockin guitars. Who knew they had it in em? I actually first learned about them on a Nike shoes website that one of my professors pulled up in class! Glad this man loved his Nike's. Well, the Tokyo Police Club just came out with a new album called "Champ" and I suggest everyone go out and grab a copy!

"Your English is Good"


From Champ, "Breakneck Speed"


"In a Cave"


All said and done, my first concert was a great success and I will definitely being going to more now in the future!

OMG there's a Ghostbusters Pachinko Machine!

I. Must. Play! Ghostbuster Hadokens? Hells yes! There is so much going on with this machine, it's insane...from the super cute cartoon versions of the busters (notice no Winston :-p), to the crazy flashing lights on the machine. Check out the official webpage for more info.

I've gotta buy me a Janelle Monae Android!

I've gotta buy me a Janelle Monae android! (See "Many Moons" video below)

This is Janelle Monae (or her alter-ego, Cindi Mayweather). She's got the dance vibe of Outkast, and it's crazy cool! Good luck not dancing while you listen to the video for "Many Moons" (complete with the Haitian from "Heroes!"). She fuses indie pop and soul and it's just straight up fun. Part big band, part soul, part hip hop, and all around classy. Muscian, dancer, songwriter, actor, she's got it all. Originally from Kansas, she moved to New York to pursue a career on Broadway, but decided to go back to music. Good thing too because she gave the world amazing music. Another fact about Monae is that she founded the Wondaland Arts Society in Atlanta with other young artists. And you know how I said it's got that Outkast vibe, well she also starred in "Idlewild" alongside Big Boi and even recorded a track with him ("Tightrope" below). Her newest album, "The ArchAndroid" just dropped, so go buy it and enjoy! (Also, I just loooove the hair!)
