See Me Play Jesus

Come to Gannette Theatre this week Thursday, and Sunday at 8, or Saturday at 6. I am playing Jesus in, "Time Cavern 2". "Time Cavern 2" is an original script by John Horowitz and James Getemer. The play follows the crazy happenings of 5 characters from different times stuck in a time cavern. Keep your ears open for the premier of the single, "Time Cavern" by J-Squared featuring Timekeeper! Anyway come see me act in a scripted play, a little out of the ordinary for me.

Beck's New Video

Check out Beck's new video for Gameboy/Homeboy. It features an original Gameboy rocking out on a guitar as well as some vegetable men. Make sure you listen for all the spanish slang. It is done in a flash kind of video form. I would have bought the new album already but my stupid computer is broken so no iTunes for me. Watch Gameboy/Homeboy here.

A freudian look at Beck's new album Guero that comes out tomorrow. I've had a preview of it, and I think it sounds pretty awesome. I look forward to hearing the final cut of it tomorrow though.

I Believe This is Happening

I Believe This is Happening

John, Chris, and I are doing an independant study on sketch writing, long form improv, and filming. Check out our blog which is technically part of our class. For our final project we will be producing a DVD of filmed sketches. Hooray!!!

Kelsey Grammer Presents The Sketch Show

FOX Broadcasting Company: Kelsey Grammer Presents The Sketch Show

The newest show in faced paced sketch comedy. I've seen the first episode and I was impressed. They're not afraid to throw together 30 second or even less one liners. It's not the funniest show on TV but it's worth watching. They have some good sketchs that you can watch on their website. It airs Sundays at 9:30, after Arrested Development at 8:30.

Apple - Students - Win an iPod shuffle. This week.

Apple is giving away a free 512mb iPod shuffle every week until September. The only catch according to the official rules is that you have to register by tomorrow. It seems kind of weird that they are giving them away until September but you have to register by tomorrow, so make sure you register before you miss your chance.

Dave Matthews Band: Stand Up Preorder

Pre-Order The New Album Here

The New DMB album is coming out May 10th. You can place pre-orders for it using the link above through the musictoday website. If you do, pleace include the code at the bottom so I get credit and can win some free tickets to shows and stuff.

Please include the following promo code when placing your Stand Up preorder: BMDYBSJXHBF

The only song out so far from the album is "American Baby", it's a decent song that they wrote the day after the election. The song calls for America to stick together, kind of a patriotic song. I found this Mash-Up someone did over at the AntsMarching boards with Eminem's "Business", it's got a pretty interesting sound.

Radiohead New Album in the Works

Pitchfork: Daily Music News: "

Radiohead Begin Work on Their Seventh LP

Ryan Schreiber reports:
After two years away from the studio, Radiohead have begun working on new music again, planting the seeds of what will likely become the follow-up to 2003's Hail to the Thief. A cryptic message from frontman Thom Yorke, posted earlier this month to the band's official webboard, suggested that this may be the case, however vaguely, reading, 'hey weve started work. (speaking of cookies) no really.' Now there's confirmation from guitarist Jonny Greenwood to back up the gibberish.

'Everything starts with songs, and with Thom, and with the excitement you can get in the band when you hear new music, and you know you've got the chance to watch it mutate and change,' Greenwood told NME. 'There's nothing like that, nothing as exciting. We're rehearsing at the moment, and again it's fun. We all want to push forward, and when you have five people who are all like that, you couldn't ask for a better thing.'

In related news, Yorke and Greenwood will be appearing live in London next Monday and Tuesday at the London Royal Festival Hall, as part of The London Sinfonietta, to premiere new material they've apparently written specifically for this event. Fans should prepare to witness 'two evenings of experimentation, collaboration and cross-genre juxtaposition,' according to the performances' spokespersons. A selection of classical works and Arabic traditionals will also be played.

The Gates

The Gates

Christo and Jeanne-Claude created quite an interesting art project in Central Park last month. Why am I talking about it now, because I am writing a paper on the subject for a class. The gates may look pretty weird, boring, or stupid, but the experience was hard to explain. The artists themselves offered no interpretation so it was left to the individual. I must say that I found it really amazing and quite complementary to nature.

Check out this indie band on subpop records. They were recommended by a friend and they are really good. Speaking of subpop I just got tickets to see The Shins in Montreal in April. I really can't wait to see them live. If you like the shins you will probably like the fruit bats, I'm listening to their album Mouthful.

MacCast

MacCast

If you are a Mac Nerd wannabe like me you might be familiar with podcasting. Anyway podcasting is the newest form of radio where people just create mp3 files to distribute on a semi daily basis. Then using a cool program called ipodder you can manage your favorite podcasts in your favorite media player. MacCast is one of my favorite podcasts because I live vicariously through it as a mac nerd.

Unexplainable Angst

I need to go outside and just wander for a while. It's been one of those days where you spend hours "working" but get nothing done. I think I am just going to wander with some music for a while and see where I find myself in a few hours.
