Happy Up Here from Röyksopp on Vimeo.

Here is the official Royksopp Happy Up Here. It pays tribute to the Space Invaders game I use to play when I was a kid. Also dig the lights since anything that reminds me of Vegas is a good thing. Enjoy!

Modeselektor is an electronic music band formed in Berlin, featuring Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. Modeselektor is reportedly a favorite group of Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), who has recommended their albums in interviews and included the song Silikon (from their 2005 LP Hello Mom! and featuring vocalist Sasha Perera) in a publicly available iTunes playlist. The song The White Flash (embedded above) includes vocals from Thom Yorke and this version happens to be remixed by Trentemoller.

It appears that all the music I have been listening to is related in some way. My new obsession is Lulu Rouge, a group made up of DJ T.O.M. and DJ Buda. If you dig the Trentemoller sound, you will absolutely enjoy this album. As a matter of fact, DJ T.O.M has been Trentemĝller’s partner for the last 3 years. The Bless You album is almost a year old, but this is a recent find that I will be listening to for a little while.

Yesterday, McCain blew off David Letterman in order to get to Washington and deal with the economic crisis. Turns out McCain decided to go and meet with Couric instead of Letterman. Letterman understandably was pissed.


This highlights some severe issues I have with McCain and his camp.

1- Don't lie. And if you do, don't be stupid enough to get caught in plain sight.
2- We need a president that can multitask important issues at the SAME TIME. You can't just call timeout like a 5 year old and stop campaigning so you can deal with a financial crisis you admittedly know nothing about.
3- Where the hell is Sarah Palin? McCain should have sent his running mate Palin to Letterman. My guess is that the McCain camp was worried to send her in place of McCain. They know she wouldn't be able to handle Letterman, and he would have exposed her as an idiot in the same way he dealt with Paris Hilton when she went on his show.


This Republican is planning on voting for Obama.

I came across this amazing video with a profound message. When a geometric visitor from another planet becomes your new roommate and shares with you the tragic state of its home world, you drop your guitar and see what you can do.

This trailer looks great. A true sequel in the 007 franchise, this movie takes place after the events in the Casino Royale. I am eagerly anticipating this movie's arrival to the big screen. Hmm, that reminds me...

A few months ago, I had a couple of conversations with some friends at maniaTV about the most anticipated films for 2008. Quantum of Solace didn't even make the Top 10. Hellboy 2, Indiana "please don't make anymore the 80's are gone" Jones, Forbidden Kingdom, Semi-Pro, Speed Racer were sadly all on the list. As a matter of fact, The Dark Knight wasn't even number 1?!?! Oh wait a minute, look what I found. Enjoy!

I have been enjoying Adam Tensta for about a year. Good to see that he is beginning to produce music videos to gain more awareness for his music.

A very short film about wrestlers, ping-pong players, fair-play and predestination. Including vivid colors, flesh, twin of Pierre Richard and an original soundtrack by the author of music for the very famous Sandokan.
I don't even know how I came across this video, but man do I dig it. Trying to weed out good video content one video at a time.

So everyone knows The Count is the man. This video just proves that he's more than a counter of numbers.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan in a kung fu movie together choreographed by Wo Ping (the dude who did The Matrix)? I think I just crapped a party bag. This movie looks good and if it has a half decent plot.. it will make tons of money for Lionsgate.

I think Angelina Jolie is a terrible actress, but man is she pleasing to the eyes. Morgan Freeman is a superb actor, but I like the way Angie looks way more. These two are in a movie about assassins.. very provocative. Check it.

Check this viral marketing clip out for the movie Walk Hard. Or, check out the same viral marketing clip for the video game Rock Band. Whatever. It's advertising and it's funny.

What can I say? A pseudo-mulleted triad? Frolicking? Candy-colored high-tops? I can't even being to wrap my brain around this choreography. Check it.
