Low video

Here's a link to the Foo Fighters Low video that I've been telling everyone about, again. I think its great and remember, it got banned from Mtv, so you're fighting against the establishment when you watch it.

Ok, its not a great link. You still have to choose which video to watch, but hey, watch some of the others too. (Everlong and Learn to Fly are pretty good)

Eagles of Death Metal

I have a link here to the video for the Eagles of Death Metal song, I Want You So Hard. I think its a cool/funny video (featuring Jack Black and Dave Grohl) and I want to hear some more of their stuff. They are going to be playing at the Rave on June 2, so I might be going. The EoDM drummer is the lead singer from Queens of the Stone Age, which is a band that as everyone knows, I love.

* thanks to Dave for the video

Hockey Mullets are Awesome!

My favorite mullet (sounds like a good tv show)

Barry Melrose made a list of great hockey mullets. Some of them are pretty hot.

She Wants Revenge

I went to the She Wants Revenge show last night and had a great time. It was my first time in the Eagle's Club (the dive area under the Rave) and it worked out pretty well for the show. It really has the feel of a dank basement, which is perfect for that kind of rock. I was only about 15 feet away from the stage so I got a nice view of everything. They rocked it out harder than I expected. I was a little afraid going in that since they are only a two man band a lot of their stuff would be prerecorded, but they got another gutarist and a drummer to tour with them; therefore, harder rocking.


*P.S. I'm a little peeved with the Rave right now because I depended on them to post pics from the show, but they suck and haven't posted any.

On Wisconsin

This is so great! I couldn't be more happy that they won AND that they dominated the crap out of BC. All I can say to the asshole Gopher fans is, "HOLY CROSS!"

Joyeux Noel

I also saw Merry Christmas the same night that I saw Neil Young, but that impressed me much less. While I still liked the movie, it just wasn't of the same caliber.

Overall it was a prety good movie. Some of the actors in it were cheesy (see Diane Kruger and Benno Fuermann). They were supposed to be opera singers and both looked hilarious doing the lip sync for the songs. Plus I just wanted to smack the look off Fuermann's face the whole time. Other than the two of them the movie was fairly good.

Neil Young: Heart of Gold

I saw the movie Neil Young: Heart of Gold and it was extraordinary. It started a little like a documentary, but basically turned into his concert at the Grand Ole Opry on film. I have never been a huge Neil Young fan, but the movie interested me because I've heard a lot about his newest CD, Prairie Wind, and he is quite talented. Shortly after he started work on the CD he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. He proceeded to write a record the entire album in a week and a half because he wasn't sure if he would be able to finish after his operation. Well, he got better and decided, along with academy award winning director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), to make his album into a film. What comes out in the end is an incredible narrative of an old man looking back at his life and communicating very openly with his friends and loved ones. It is apparent through the film that Neil Young is a complete musical genius and carries most of his friends along for the ride. After about and hour and 15 minutes, he finishes the new CD and starts playing some of his classics, but the best part of the movie is all the new stuff. I recommend this movie to anyone. I think whether you are a Neil Young fan or not, you will still enjoy it. Personally, I am going to get my hands on the CD asap.

*Colorful side note - All the people on stage with him are hilarious to watch. I suggest the bassist and the back-up singers for the most hilarious award.
