Legendary Pictures greenlights a new music documentary which will be about the life of the legendary guitarist, Jimi Hendrix. This movie was inspired by the idea of, “It Might Get Loud”, the new music movie that stars Jack White, Jimmy Page and the Edge. Legendary Pictures scored the rights to make a movie on Hendrix with Experience Hendrix, the estate that is owned by Jimi’s sister, Janie.

Disney and Robert Zemeckis are in negotiations to remake the famous Beatles movie, “Yellow Submarine”. Disney has bene quietly trying to get the rights to Zemeckis so he can have the full 16 original Beatles songs that were in the original film. The plan with the remake is that they want to make it 3D (plus I’m sure it will be CGI animated too). Disney hopes to release this around the time the Summer Olympics happen in 2012 which is on July 27th in London.

I don’t blog about sports on TV (with the exception of the Olympics) since this isn’t really a sports blog but I’ll blog just this one.
I don’t agree with Michael Vick being re-signed to the NFL, teaming up with the Eagles. I researched dogfighting, it’s illegal everywhere in the world except for Japan. It’s legal in Japan. Dogfighting is animal cruelty. Vick has been doing dogfighting for at least 5 years and we should forgive him? Doing research on Vick, I see that this guy is a complete loser.
Anybody that forgives this douche, needs a reality check, and they must think dogfighting is okay.
The NFL no longer gets my support. If the Eagles make the playoffs before the Superbowl this year, I will not watch. If they do make the Superbowl this year, I will not watch as well. If the Eagles make the Superbowl, the TV ratings would probably fail.
I think, Vick won’t last long in the NFL anyways, because I assure you, he will get busted with the law again down the road.

There’s a new PS3 design that’s just been released, it’s called the PS3 Slim. The point of the new design is that it’s smaller and it looks different.
The prices of the original PS3 dropped down to $399.
The PS3 Slim is still the same game console, just a new design, that’s all.
I would keep the original design that I got now.

At the Phish concert last Sunday night, I was amazed that everywhere you go, there were drugs all over the place. Weed, acid, you name it. People were on everything. I’m sure all Phish shows are like this, of course.
After Trey Anastasio’s drug bust in Whitehall a few years ago, when he got stuck in rehab here in Saratoga Springs, he went through a pretty long rehab journey. When he got clean and was ready to graduate, get out of rehab….I was hoping and looking forward to seeing the Phish fans to follow suit of Trey Anastasio.
I was wondering if the Phish fans were thinking the same thing…”Geez, what am I doing to myself, I should go to rehab like Trey, my hero, and get clean”.
Well, that never happened. Trey going to rehab to get clean never taught the fans anything.
While the band was playing on stage, looking at everybody in the audience, everybody definitely looked really drunk, stoned and were tripping on something.
Trey looked really clean, he didn’t look like he was on anything. He was so happy on stage, he was all smiles and so full of energy throughout most of the gig. He is a much better guitar player when he is clean and sober as well. He was on fire that night!
Trey should start giving advice to Phish fans to go to rehab like he did so they don’t end up killing themselves and Phish wouldn’t have any fans left.
You can still have a fun time and have a blast without drinking and doing drugs.

I don’t do divorce stories that much here in the blog, but I gotta do this one since this divorce affected Sean Penn’s movie career. Sean Penn had several movie projects up ahead, but he pulled out of every single one of them (with the “Three Stooges” movie being one of them) due to personal reasons. Well, if you guess what those personal reasons are, I’m sure you already know what it is. Robin Wright Penn wants to make the divorce official finally. Reports surfaced the web that they were still separated and People magazine wants everyone to know that Robin already filed divorce papers.
More on it here:

Hopefully, this divorce shit will get over with, so Sean can go back to work on film. Being married to a famous person must be a tough life.

Since it was reported that WWE is having celebrities as Monday Night RAW guest hosts, where celebrities get the opportunity to perform on Monday Night RAW for an episode up until this year’s Wrestlemania…I really think WWE should book Sly Stallone to host a RAW episode.
I think it’s very appropriate for WWE to ask Sly. Considering that former WWE star Stone Cold Steve Austin is in Sly’s next movie, “The Expendables”…this would be good promotion for WWE and Sly’s new movie.
Picture it in your head…Sly to run Monday Night RAW for one night? Making his own matches on RAW and feuding with other superstars like Chris Jericho and the Big Show?
I can see it happening.
I always wondered why Sly never performed in WWE as a celebrity guest although it’s no secret the man is a huge fan of wrestling. This would be a perfect time for Sly to get his chance.
Come on Vince, ask him!

Since I’m finding so many unsigned bands and artists selling their music on Itunes, I am thinking of doing the same thing.
I’ll probably sell the songs on my first demo disc that I made back in 2006. I’ll look into on how to upload our own music to sell in Itunes, I’ll look into that today.
Any future studio demo releases, I’ll probably sell on Itunes only as well.
Itunes store is really cool stuff in my opinion.
Say goodbye to buying CD’s at the record store, say hello to Itunes, yeah!
In more music news, I’ve been writing again, writing music down but haven’t started writing new lyrics yet. Been too busy with life lately. I spend most of my time on fitness and just play guitar in between when I want to relax. I’m trying to write new songs. They’ll be coming soon, I hope.

Today, I just picked up a 8GB Ipod from Best Buy. Everybody I know pretty much has one, so I figure it’s time that I would get one for myself.
I set it all up and it’s all good to go. I purchased 14 songs from Itunes from the $15 Itunes card I purchased at Best Buy along with it.
I purchased a mix of local music and national music. Just bought some of these songs: Lady Gaga “Poker Face”, Weird Al Yankovic “Craigslist”, Soundgarden “Outshined”, Phish “Down With Disease”, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Gold Lion”, Joe Nacco “Crazy Scientologist”, Sean Rowe “Old Black Dodge”, Lunic “Love Me”, Railbird “Locomotive”, a couple of Teenage Casket Company songs, and several more.
Itunes store can be pretty useful ’cause if I hear songs on the radio that I really like and if I don’t want to buy the full album, I could just buy that one tune.
I know I said I hated Lady Gaga many times, I still do, but I’ve said a few times in the blog that I like her one song, “Poker Face”. “Poker Face” is actually a really good song that I can listen to, but the rest of her stuff, no. I figure “Poker Face” would be a good tune to work out to, that’s why I picked that one.
Now that I think about it, I don’t have to buy Phish albums on CD at all. I can simply buy all the Phish albums from Itunes. Itunes record store is much cheaper than the record stores at the malls.
I mainly bought an Ipod so I can have some tunes to work out with. Listening to music while working out at the gym or where ever is a pretty important part of the workout. It makes you work faster and harder, gives you more energy. Music does that.
Next I need to buy an Ipod arm band, so I can just have the Ipod on my arm while I’m working out.

This was bound to happen and I think everybody knew that Bruce was going to get confirmed for, “The Expendables”, but I’m happy to see the news finally official by Bruce the man himself.
The three Planet Hollywood icons finally starring in a movie together! Very cool. Now, I’m way psyched for this film!
See the great news here!
