Christian Bale Terminator 4 Outburst

Anyone seen this?
It's a few days old, but basically the story goes like this...

A camera operator on the set of Bale's upcoming film - Terminator Salvation, apparently said something while filming, and from there, the rest is history.

I've always had the impression that Bale was kind of a dick based on his attitude while being interviewed in general. Whatever though, this was uncalled for.

CAUTION!!! NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!! LOTS OF LANGUAGE (I think his British accent is fake haha)

Looking For New Music? I've Got Recommendations

I seem to be the source of people finding new music for a handful of my friends, so I decided I would just document it.

These recommendations are for fans of the softer and lighter side of life, so here goes.

Manchester Orchestra
Alot of people in the underground world know about this band, they've toured with everyone from Thrice, to Mewithoutyou, to Brand New, and they've managed to stay JUST enough under the radar to keep a failry unknown mainstream status.

The band mixes up beat tunes, with the occasional down beat and slow anthemic songs, with deeply personal and inspiring lyrics. From love, love loss, and faith, this band keeps a good mixture of cross genre attitude, and original wit.

FOR FANS OF: Brand New, Anathallo, Neutral Milk Hotel
Listen to: Like a Virgin Losing a Child

Bon Iver
This band/artist has had a fair amount of exposure, and was one of the most talked about groups in independent music last year. With songs appearing on Grey's Anatomy, and a spot in an issue of Rolling Stone, and appearances on Letterman and Leno, Bon Iver has kept a steady pace.

Songs are slow and atmospheric, with more elegance than a charity ball. The vocals remain perfect, mixing falsetto harmonies with hooky melodies that you wouldn't expect from such an experimental sound.

FOR FANS OF: Sigur Ros, Damien Rice, Coldplay
Listen to: For Emma, For Ever Ago

The Emerson Letters
This artists, I can imagine, is relatively unknown to most people. This is the side project from Matt Goud, singer/guitarist of the now defunct Christian melodic hardcore band MEANS.

Goud's voice is phenomenal and real. The songs are deep and personal as his voice blends perfectly with the strum of his acoustic guitar. Though sometimes folky, songs might seem reminiscent of early Coldplay. Though he fits the description in form, throw away most inhibitions of a normal singer song writer, Goud does it his own way.

FOR FANS OF: Ray Lamontagne, Early Coldplay, Ryan Adams
Listen to:See This Through

It's been a while...

Sorry about the lack of posting. Been busy with school and life.

LOST S:5:E:1 & 2 Gets Reviewed

You can Google LOST Season 5 Episode 1 Review and find tons of sites that got a chance to get a pre-screening of the episode.

None of them are giving away very much, but they have been great reviews. They've promised tons of twists and answers within the first few minutes, and apparently the first episode will let us know when/where the Island is, and we'll be able to understand how this season will work.

Some of the reviews also drop hints on some big twists.
Here are the two that caught my attention

I GUESS THIS COULD BE A SPOILER, SO DON'T READ BEYOND, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

- Someone on the island saves the island dwellers who we never thought we would see again, someone that we may have thought, or think is dead, and they have a beard.

Could be charlie maybe? I'm hoping so. Could be someone lame like a Dharma dude. Could be Desmond, that would make since... keep reading and you'll find out why.

- Someone who is off the island is still on.

My guess is it's Ben, but it could be Desmond, this would kill two birds with one stone.

The way this works is because, apparently, the Island has moved to a different time, a time when Desmond and Ben were both on the Island.

Looks pretty lame.

Pineapple Express Out Today (thoughts)

Pineapple Express is out today. I'm not a huge fan of stoner flicks, and I didn't want to see this movie. However, I'm a huge Judd Apatow fan, and basically everything he touches turns to gold somehow.

Nonetheless, I watched it, and it's hilarious. It has Forgetting Sarah Marshall qualities in the since that it's underrated.

Very funny, I think it's at least a rent.

Dustin Kensrue & more in Covington

I mentioned this a while back, and I need to snag some tickets to this. Dustin Kensrue is the lead singer of one of my all time favorite bands, and what I will say, will be one of the most important bands of our generation, Thrice.

He also has a solo project which is quite different from his main band. Dustin's music falls under the alternative country category, maintaining sounds such as Ryan Adams. His first CD Please Come Home showed off his faithful side, having most of the songs be mainly faith related. Although this is the motif throughout the record, Thrice, nor Kensrue for that mater are known as much of a Christian based act, however they tastefully pull it off well.

Kensrue is headlining the "Where's the Band Tour" which features quite an impressive lineup, including Saves the Day front man Chris Connoly, The Get Up Kids singer Matt Pryor, and Anthony Raneri of Bayside fame.

Check out the tour coming to Covington Kentucky on January 29th
