Eddie Murphy

He used to be good...

I've watched "Raw" before. It was fuckin' funny and Jay-Z even referenced him on 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. Here's another live show 'Delirious' (from 25 years ago, no less!) here.

Radiohead - 15 Steps (live)

Cherry forwarded a link to a show recorded during their Japan tour. The site is really cool. The show was recorded with 12 cameras so you can choose which angle you wanna control. Basically, you play director here. Check it out!

"We are the dancers..."

Beyonce's shoot for her latest video 'Single Ladies' which is "directed" by Paul Rudd and features a special guest. Damn good stuff.

Secret Machines - Atomic Heels

I love the debut album, didn't really enjoy the second and am not too sure if I'm getting the new one.

The Day The Earth Stood Still trailer

This remake of the 1951 sci-fi movie stars Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. Right after 57 years.

You can catch the original version here. I love watching old black & white movies. I simply love it! There's some old skool charm about it. The acting is more rigid and more dramatic as if the actors are in a play, amplifying the emotions. They call it over-acting in some circles. Check out the bit when the TV announcer declares that an UFO has landed. The dialogue is totally sample worthy. Anyone has any idea how I can download the clip?

Watchmen trailer

Who watches the Watchmen indeed? Somehow, I keep thinking that style over substance will reign for this adaptation. It's an extremely hard piece of work to turn from a graphic novel to a movie. We will see how it goes.

The Flaming Lips releases X'mas On Mars

If you like your rock stars plain weird, very few of them gets weirder and better than The Flaming Lips which finally gets their own homemade movie 'X'mas On Mars' done. Frontman Wayne Coyne who acted and directed the movie does some hard-selling for the special edition DVD package in the YouTube clip above. You can play some games here too.

Kanye West, De La Soul, Nas, Will.i.am, Mos Def, and Damon Albarn - Freestyles (Live in London)

Looks and sounds like a right party here.

The Amazing Screw-On Head

Creator of Hellboy, Mike Mignola had created an one-off special titled 'The Amazing Screw-On Head' which was adapted into an animated cartoon. This is the TV pilot, developed by Bryan Fuller who created 'Pushing Daisies', one of my favourite current shows. The animated short's pretty funny. Check out the back story here.

Punisher: War Zone trailer

Well, I will probably still watch it...

WTF?!?!?! part 33

Batman sues Batman. Check it out here.

Jens Lekman - A Postcard To Nina (live)

He's coming again... Check out the details here. I'm pretty tempted.

Who are you going to fuckin' call?!

Why, them, of course!

"Singapore girl posts naked photo on Friendster"

There's a STOMP article about this. Well, if you ask me, at least they are bloody nekkid pictures. I've seen quite a fair bit of these young soft-porn stars wannabes on MySpace (more there actually, STOMP) who like to take pictures of themselves topless with an arm draped over the breasts to cover their female bits.

Was that done to protect their modesty? Now, seriously...

Tantalizing, seductive and something you are not supposed to see are bikinis, wet T-shirts, down-blouses, up-skirts, etc. Not an arm draped over the tits of your naked body while pretending to be virginal. If you wanna show 'em boobs, do it. If not, why bother?

LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing In My House (live)

Weiyuan just passed me the album yesterday. It's decent but nothing really captures me. At least, this tune references Daft Punk. What's cool as well is that James Murphy whips out a cowbell mid-song. I heard their latest release Sound Of Silver which features the single 'North American Scum'. The live video is linked here. Gotta love the panache!

Keane - Under Pressure (live)

Pretty decent cover of the original Queen and David Bowie's duet.

Kraak & Smaak - Squeeze Me

Flipbooks!!!

Live acts

More live acts are coming to town. And I heard from Haykal who saw a few acts being listed on the Esplanade Mosaic Music Festival.

Battles - Atlas (live)



I still can't really get into them. But the live show looks fucken intense and they sure got shitloads of equipment. I might catch them live when they are in town.

The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home (live)



I love this track but this sounds like Coldplay and nothing like the rest of the stuff which The Cinematic Orchestra does. Ah well.

Psapp - Cosy In The Rocket

Yup, those guys who did the theme song for 'Gray's Anatomy' which you should only watch for Katherine Heigl.

Congrats...

And now we wait.

And of course, here's a news report from the United States' greatest news source.

What the fuck?!?!

VIETNAM is considering banning small-chested motorcyclists from its roads – a proposal that has provoked widespread disbelief in a nation of slightly-built people.
