Casino Royale

Daniel Craig is been one of my favorite actors and despite all the hate he was receiving since it was announced he was going to play Bond, I did not believe it. I knew he was going to make a great Bond and he did. I saw the first filming of Casino Royale last night and it was good. It was indeed darker than all the previous Bond films and it is something that will take awhile to adjust to because even I was so used to unrealistic Bond films of the past. The film was definitely not cheesy. Okay, a few parts were like when Caterina Murino was riding on that fucking horse down the beach. I wanted to cringe it was so cheesy. There were a few things that I missed from the previous films. Sure, Craig looks pretty creepy in The Jacket, but he is a very talented actor and anyone who does not think he looks hot as Bond is crazy. I did not think that Eva Green was going to make a good Bond girl, but I take that back now. She did a fine job, but at times she looked a bit scary. If you've seen the film already, I'm sure you know what part(s). This film was a lot more realistic and I am sure a lot of people are looking forward to the next one.

From Bloc Party's Official Myspace:

Monday, November 13, 2006

AT THE DISCO Bloc Party has cancelled of the remainder of their current US tour with Panic! at the Disco due to Matt Tong's health after being admitted to an Atlanta hospital with a collapsed lung last Thursday night. While Matt is on the road to recovery, doctors have advised that he not travel or play again for another few weeks in order to give his lung time to properly heal. From Kele: "We would like to apologize to all of our fans here who won't be able to see us on this tour. We were looking forward to playing in a number of American cities that we've never been to before, however, Matt's health is our number one priority right now."

Get Well Soon... Matt Tong Collapses

Bloc Party Drummer Collapses, Dates Cancelled
by Staff | 11.10.2006

Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong collapsed in Atlanta following their show. Tong fell ill shortly after the band’s set, and was taken to a local hospital where doctors assured that he is in a comfortable condition and not in any danger. It is still unclear as to when he will be able to return to drumming.

A spokesperson told the BBC that the injury may be due to Matt’s drumming: "Matt is known for his energetic drumming style," she said. "It's not clear at this stage when he will be fit to resume performing."

A message on the band’s website asserts that they will not be playing at the Charlotte, NC, Fairfax, VA or either New York shows in the coming week.

OLIVER STONE

OLIVER STONE (Lecture)
8 November 2006
CSUS Union Ballroom
Sacramento, CA

It's official. Oliver Stone scares the shit out of me. So he's famous, but he still can get ticked off like any normal person. His lecture was pretty dull and I'm sure his Q&A was less dull. It's an honor to have him lecture at the school, but either he is really tired from other engagements or he is just not a good public speaker. I'll consider the first option because meeting with fans was not THAT great. I'm sure he is a nice person, but when he gets annoyed he is fucking scary. If you are wondering if I annoyed him, then yes I did and I'm sorry for it, but I thought he expected it from me since he was eyeballing what I had for him to sign at the beginning of the signing and I ended up asking him at the end when he was fucking tired. But not so much as the crazy lady who popped up everywhere giving him letters and random shit. I've learned my lesson, now learn yours.

JACKIE GREENE/CHRIS WEBSTER

JACKIE GREENE/CHRIS WEBSTER
2 November 2006
CSUS University Ballroom
Sacramento, CA

Sacramento has definitely not forgotten Jackie Greene. It was one of the best performances I saw all semester long at CSUS. Chris Webster was good, but Jackie Greene was amazing. Greene seems pretty reserved, but that didn't affect his onstage performance. The highlight of the night for me was when he performed "Just As Well". Every part of the performance was perfection. His brother Alex of Walking Spanish joined him onstage near the end of their set as well.

Setlist:

Hollywood
Rusty Nail
Farewell, So Long, Goodbye
By The Side Of The Road
When You're Walking Away
Uphill Road
Tell Me Mama
So Hard To Find My Way
Just As Well
I Don't Live In A Dream
Down In The Valley Woe
Mexican Girl
Closer To You
Lord Mistreats Me
I'm So Gone

OK GO/Quit Your Day Job

OK GO/Quit Your Day Job
3 November 2006
Empire
Sacramento, CA

Damien Kulash is an asshole. There, I said it, but I'm still a Tim fan. Why do I think he's an asshole? He could've acted like a bitch all night because the sound was fucking up a bit on him, but that gives him no fucking right to treat fans that way. Fans pay money to see them perform and to keep them in existence so band members shouldn't act like they're above everyone and that they deserve everything. It's not like OK Go is fucking U2. He pretty much beat my friend up and he maybe accidentally knocked my shit over so I had to pick up the piles. He was fucking pissed about the sound and he ended up pissing me and my friend off. Besides all that shit, I thought they are great to see live because they really interact with the crowd. They also included an acoustic performance in the middle of the room during the middle of the set. They had some fans who entered their video contest to go up and do the "A Million Ways" dance while the band did the dance themselves closing the show. Their music isn't the best, but they're fun to see live.

And Quit Your Day Job? Damn they're weird, but they were seriously high so that is probably a reason why.

Little Radio Headed To A Campus Near You
by Staff | 11.02.2006

Little Radio isn’t just about awesome music, it also has a social conscience. The online radio station/aggregated blogzine/live venue is branching out to teach the world about the wonders of the electric car.

Partnering with LA-based Zero Air Pollution Vehicles (ZAP), Little Radio plans to open the world’s first electric-only car showroom. Little Radio's L.A. Electric Cars showroom, located at 1214 Long Beach Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90021 will open on November 24, 2006, and will showcase the ZAP Xebra 4-door sedan and 2-door truck, both of which sell for around $10,000. The company expects to carry more than 5 different models of 100% Electric Cars by the end of next year.

Not content to just bring this electric marvel to the people of LA, they are taking it on the road, hitting up college campuses and music festivals. The company will travel in a 45' BioBus powered by BioDiesel fuel, with an exterior wrap designed by artist Shepard Fairey (OBEY/Giant), and will bring several ZAP cars with them for local showcases and test drives.

They’ll also be celebrating with a party this Saturday the 4th with Giant Drag, Bloodcat Love and DJ sets from J-Logic and High Noon. Festivities start at 7pm at at 1214 Long Beach Ave.

It's Absurd! Arctic Monkeys Thrown Out

Arctic Monkeys

ARCTIC MONKEY THROWN OUT OF AFTERSHOW PARTY

ARCTIC MONKEYS rocker JAMIE COOK was thrown out of a Q Music Awards after-show party in the early hours of Tuesday (31OCT06) after refusing to pay his drinks bill. Following the newcomers' double win at the London ceremony, the WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN hitmakers joined their fellow rockers at the Met Bar in the British capital's West End. However, the group failed to realise the Met were not providing free drinks like the awards earlier is the evening and guitarist Cook refused to pay a GBP22 ($39) bill for his drinks. Cook fumes, "There was no way I was paying GBP22 for two beers. I mean, GBP22, it's a disgrace. "I'm broke anyway so I was even more annoyed. I threw a bit of a strop and refused to pay."
