The Listening Room: Check out this excellent band…Plumerai…

It was an honor to share the stage with this band over the weekend at P4th, I thought this band was fantastic and impressive. One of the better out of state bands I’ve heard in a long while.

Check out Plumerai here:

They rock! I listened to their CD “Without Number” twice, if you live in Boston, definitely check them out at a club near you! This band will not bore you!

Plus, the lead singer Elizabeth Ezell is smoking hot!

Thought: Thinking about bringing the myspace back…

I have been thinking lately that I’m thinking about bringing my official myspace music account back. But if I do though, it’s not gonna be runned by me. I will be choosing a few trusting people to run it for me if they are willing. To post my songs, promote my gigs, etc.

There are plenty of bands/solo artists pages in myspace that are not being runned by the actual artist, some bands/artists pages are being runned by loyal fans, managers, street team, etc. So I figure why not do the same thing?

Myspace is just too hectic for me when I should be spending the time on the music. It’s a waste of time to spend hours and hours on the computer to promote your music online. I don’t see how bands/artists can do it when they should be working on their own music. This is why some bands have other people promote their stuff online ’cause the band rather spend the time on music and performing shows.

I’ll be thinking about this idea.

Report: Ozzy wins lawsuit over newspaper article saying that he was ill at the Brit Awards…

Ozzy Osbourne successfully won a lawsuit over a newspaper that claimed he was ill at this year’s Brit Awards. Ozzy got angry and fired back at the newspaper by slapping them a libel lawsuit. Ozzy said it wasn’t true that he was ill at the Brit Awards, he was perfectly fine. Ozzy won the lawsuit after the newspaper admitted they were wrong, they apologized to the legendary rocker and Ozzy kindly accepted the paper’s apology. The paper agreed to pay the libel damages.

The Associated Press reports:

It’s nice to see a company admit their mistakes. This is a lesson to be learned that you do not mess with Ozzy!

Thought: Ok Mr. Stallone, pick your next movie already!!!!

I can know for sure that all the Stallone fans like myself are going crazy that he hasn’t picked his next movie yet! It could be very possible that Sly is preparing for “Inglorious Bastards” the next Quentin Tarantino flick that he plans to shoot next very soon. Could this be why Quentin finally decided to start the project because Sylvester is now done promoting Rambo overseas? Could it be that Quentin has been waiting for Sly?

Sly has been tight lipped about confirming his next movie for a long while. He has talked about remaking “Deathwish” and doing “POE”, he has been signed to do a two action picture deal with Nu Image/Millenium which those two films hasn’t been announced yet, and now the rumoured “Inglorious Bastards”.

The die hard Stallone fanatics like me just can’t wait to see what his next movie is going to be! He did a great job with the comeback of “Rocky” and “Rambo”. Now it’s time to move on to something new and different. Come on Sly! PIck your next film! The more Sly Stallone, the better! The man deserves a huge comeback and he got it!

Report: Brian De Palma to helm “The Boston Stranglers”…

Legendary film maker Brian De Palma is set to direct “The Boston Stranglers”, a film based on real life events which is about a serial killer raping and murdering several women, mostly women in their 50’s and up. Everyone of those murders were raped and strangled. It happened in Boston, Mass in the 1960’s. While it was rumuored the murders were aimed at a man named Albert Desalvo who they accused of, the murders were not committed by one person.

Brian Depalma had directed other films such as the iconic “Scarface”, “Stephen King’s Carrie”, “The Untouchables”, “Femme Fatale”, “The Black Dahlia” and others.

Depalma is famed and known for using multiple split screens in his films. He has inspired other film makers to do the same ever since.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

I really liked his movie “The Black Dahlia”, so he will do a good job with this one too. I wonder who Depalma is going to pick for Desalvo? Depalma is best at doing dark films.

Report: Guy Ritchie (Madonna’s hubby) bringing Sherlock Holmes to the big screen…

Warner Bros. has announced that Madonna’s film maker husband, Guy Ritchie is signed to reinvent Sherlock Holmes to the big screen. Sherlock Holmes is a legendary classic character based on the novels created and written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The novels created huge popularity emerging into TV shows, movies, comics, etc. Sherlock Holmes the character had other talents besides fighting crime as a detective, he was also a boxer and he enjoyed swordfighting so expect to see all that in the film as well.

Dark Horizons reports:

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080604g.php

It’s great to see Guy Ritchie finally working on a decent film this time. I enjoyed his work with “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch”.

I think he’ll make a great “Sherlock Holmes” movie.

It’ll be interesting to see who he’s gonna get for Sherlock, hope Ritchie picks the right actor.

Report: Well, look like I won’t be seeing “Beverly Hills Cop 4” because typical Brett Ratner wants it kids oriented…

When Brett Ratner announced he is directing “Beverly Hills Cop 4”, it got me worried that he is going to make the film similar to the “Rush Hour” series. It turns out he is doing just that. Ratner explains he wants “Beverly Hills Cop 4” to be more kids oriented with no profanity and violence with no blood. Think it would be rated PG-13? NOPE! Ratner plans to rate it even lower to PG! BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

And STUPID, STUPID, STUPID MTV !!!! NONE OF THE RAMBO FILMS WERE FOR KIDS! All 4 Rambo films were rated R, full of hardcore violence and swearing! No way Rambo is for kids! Why did MTV list Rambo!

Look like Die Hard 4 is inspiring iconic action sequels to be PG-13 so expect other action movies to follow suit.

MTV Movies Blog reports:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/06/03/beverly-hills-cop-4-may-be-geared-towards-kids-says-brett-ratner/

I want to see Axel Foley swearing and cussing up a storm throughout the entire film like he did in the first three. That’s the way they are supposed to be.

“Beverly Hills Cop 4” will feel like the Police Academy films.

Like I’ll be waiting for DVD rental for “BHC 4”.

Report: Metallica, the Guitar Hero videogame for 2009???

First Aerosmith for Guitar Hero, and now Metallica is reportedly saying that they may release their own version of a Guitar Hero videogame that is dedicated to all Metallica songs.

Reports like this:

http://www.nme.com/news/metallica/37067

…confirms that Gamespot says Metallica will release a Guitar Hero videogame in 2009.

However, on Metallica’s official website, they gave it a hint that rumours has been leaked but they still keep things underwraps not really confirming it saying it “might” actually happen.

http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=600913

The band says “more details later this summer” so it must be true.

Will other legendary bands follow suit of their own Guitar Hero videogame? Why don’t Led Zeppelin make one? Maybe Ac/Dc or Black Sabbath/Ozzy?
