A while ago on the blog, Kiznox had made mention to a new Flaming Lips album coming out soon and that got me thinking. What other awesome bands are releasing stuff?
Fall of 2009 is getting some mad love for new music from some of my favorite artists. These records are supposed to be some of the most mature works from these musicians.
9/22/09
Brand New - "Daisy" - It's about time, it has been nearly three years since The Devil and God...
9/29/09
AFI - "Crash Love" - Cannot wait for this to come out!
9/29/09
Paramore - "brand new eyes" - I know, I know. But I like them.
10/13/09
The Flaming Lips - "Embryonic" - DOUBLE ALBUM!
Not to mention, there are some unconfirmed dates for a new Ima Robot and Minus the Bear albums.
Anybody know any others?
or is the blog dying a slow and painful death?

RIP David Carradine
This morning (June 4th, 2009) Kill Bill actor, David Carradine, was found dead in a Bangkok hotel. Reports say he hung himself somewhere between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. He was in Thailand shooting the movie Stretch (for which I can find no info). Carradine was most famous for his role in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, but later immortalized in his role as Bill in the Kill Bill series. I don't know much about his early works, but I will miss him and all his badassness.

A meteor eh? Try again...
Check this shit out that I found on Discovery News. There is a very good chance that scientists have discovered what actually killed the dinosaurs and most other life back all those years ago. This is friggin amazing if it is the reason, and judging by the content of the article, it appears to be a damn good possibility!
Let me know what you think!

New Stuff From My Brain
I'm gonna start off with the story of Paul Newman. He died over the weekend, at the age of 83. Now, I haven't seen much of his work, but I thought he was a cool guy. He used to race cars and act and started up a food company as a joke. A joke that raised over $100 million for charity. He was an amazing man, and I'm sure he'll be sorely missed.
Scarlett Johannsen and Ryan Reynolds got married over the weekend, in Canada. First off, I didn't even know they were dating. Secondly, good job Ryan Reynolds, that's definitely a step up from Alanis Morrisette.
Here's something I haven't done in a while:
Earlier today I saw Eagle Eye. My initial reaction was pure excitement. But after reading some reviews, I'm thinking otherwise. The story is rather thrilling. Everything moves at a rather quick pace, which keeps things exciting but also keeps you going "what the fuck just happened?" Once you figure out what's going on though, you're just like "oh, I knew that was going to happen." Also, the chase scenes are on full throttle, but are shot in a shaky camera way to where things are just thrown around without much logic and with no regard for any innocent person's safety. There are some obvious movie flubs, one notably stands out in my mind: when LeBeouf gets into a gray Sebring that mysteriously turns into a black Avenger by the next scene. That's lazy film-making. I did like LeBeouf's performance in this movie. He brings a certain charm and charisma to any movie he's a part of. He helps the movie with his acting, even with the ridiculous plot. Michelle Monaghan is uber hot and quite charming, if kinda wooden. Billy Bob seems out of place in his role, but he was alright. Rosario Dawson and Michael Chiklis did decent enough jobs. Oh, and Ethan Embry also made a comeback for anyone who was missing him from their lives, but I couldn't have cared less about his character. All-in-all, it was an acceptable techno-thriller with some exciting thrills, but everything seems to work out too perfectly. I give it about a 5/10 and a half assed review.
Tonight I also watched the second season premiere of Californication on Showtime. I'm probably gonna download the first season and wished I had Showtime for the second season, because that show is fucking hilarious. I have a renewed faith in David Duchovny.
Besides going out to watch Eagle Eye, I did absolutely nothing today, but I have watched Clerks II about 4 times in the past week.
Well, I have a week left down here. I can't wait to come back to Okemos. See ya bitches next week.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac
One of the Original Kings of Comedy, Bernie Mac, died earlier today in a Chicago area hospital from complications due to pneumonia. I wasn't the biggest fan of his, but I liked most of the stuff he was in. He did some good work. He was only 50.
