Why this is unique is that everyone only played one note I do believe.

My hosting company had some issues with the widgets and sprockets and cogs and all that rot clogging up the tubes of the Internet that Al Gore invented.
I was slightly unhappy with them but they have some of the best hosting service around that I couldn’t stay mad at them for too long. Plus their tech support and customer service are spot on.
I was going to include some bonus mp3’s in this post but I’m just way too tired.
I have been working on a few other projects so I just having a hard time keeping this updated as regularly as I would like.

This week doesn’t seem to have (m)any releases I really feel like writing about. I didn’t really check the indie stuff out but will say that the entire back catalog of Mission of Burma is being re-released soon.
But I did watch Doomsday. This movie was an ambitious undertaking from the beginning, so I can see how it had the chance to fall apart. Doomsday was a trainwreck. Throughout the duration of the film, I was certain this was a giant homage to dystopian films, with low budgets. There was some cool shots and all. But the acting was mediocre at best.
I can’t be a total hater though, I guess the budget was 27 million and Neil Marshall did get to do pretty much whatever he wanted, made a lil money to make something better and will have something truly scary next time.
The music selection was interesting to say the least with Siouxsie and The Banshees, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Fine Young Cannibals. Hardly the music I would expect in such a film. Dare I say the music was the best part and that’s not really the best part.
I’m actually surprised that there was not any heavy metal.
All in all I give the film a 4 out of ten and urge you to wait till it is on DVD.
Here’s the tracks in case they get stuck in your head after watching it.
Tuneage
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes
Fine Young Cannibals - Good Thing
Siouxie and The Banshess - Spellbound
Adam and the Ants - Dog Eat Dog

I have the complete set of second edition books in my attic somewhere. I used to try to get a game going, but I mostly ended up getting made fun of. I never actually played DnD but I did play a bunch of pen and paper games and I even tried making up some of my own. I based them all around 6 sided die as my mom wouldn’t let me have any other kind because pen and paper games were “demonic”.
Since my external hard drive failed I find myself without any power metal to post. So I ripped some real quick. Also there are two songs with DnD references.
Tuneage
Demons and Wizards - Crimson King
Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
Flashlight Brown - Ready To Roll
GWAR -The One That Will Not Be Named

Here’s a random group who I can almost say are truly unique. Almost because if you replace the 8 bit keys with guitars and the white noise with drums, you would have your basic screamo. God I hate the word screamo.
I almost feel embarassed for them, but whatever, get down with your bad self.

Here is a video of an amazing domino set up. Every I have seen this posted claims it took alot of skill, but really the initial shot was mid level, the hard part was setting up all the dominos.
All of this reminds me of these Mr. Show quotes that I found on the IMDB…
David: You’ve seen him perform feats of unparalleled skill on TV and radio. Now, world-wide billiards champion Van Hammersly presents a series of videotapes designed to teach as well as entertain. With his first tape, “I Oughta Be in Pictures,” Van Hammersly showcases his incredible talent and passion for the golden age of film.
Van Hammersly: Lotta people wanna go to Hollywood, see the stars they’ve seen for lo these many years. Why not take a trip on your own
[claps]
Van Hammersly: billiards table? Just pick out a few balls and say hello to the stars. Well, look what we have here!
[Picks up ball]
Van Hammersly: Marilyn Monroe, star of the Seven Year Itch!
[Picks up another]
Van Hammersly: Next to her, Humphrey Bogart. “Judy, Judy, Judy!” And next to him, the three crack ups - Moe, Larry, and Curly!
[laughs]
Van Hammersly: Stop it, gentlemen, you’re going to screw everything up. All right, it’s 1952, and we’re on a back lot. It’s time for the awards - the Hollywood awards! First of all, Marilyn Monroe, nice to have you!
[Hitting balls into pocket]
Van Hammersly: Humphrey Bogart, “Judy, Judy, Judy!” And next to him, Moe, Larry, and Curly. The Three Stooges! Get on down there, boys!
David: Then it’s off to the races as Van recounts the running of the 1974 Kentucky Derby the only way he knows how - with a pool table!
Van Hammersly: It’s 1974, March 15th, and horseracing history is about to be made. A hot muggy day, all the horses are at their gates - let’s run the race, shall we? First of all, Mr. Fasthorse comes down his gate real slow-like. Not like his name at all!
[hitting balls into pockets]
Van Hammersly: Papa’s Delicate Condition and Krystallnacht almost trip over each other! Get your bets in, gentlemen, because Batman: The Horse isn’t waitin’ around for anybody! Nice ‘N’ Sticky says, “What about me, boys?” Next up, Stinkfinger. Next to her, If Mandy Patankin Was a Horse comes in. Bringin’ up the rear, Ol’ Felcher! And that’s how the race was run!
David: Tape number three, “All Aboard,” teaches you about the history of mass transportation.
Van Hammersly: [Swirling billiard balls around table with his hands] 37 people died in a massive triple decker bus accident in London, Britain, New Hampton, Wales!
David: And if you order right away, you’ll receive “Your GED.” Simply viewing this tape qualifies you for a high-school diploma. Van teaches you mathematics.
Van Hammersly: You simple subdivide each part by its cosine.
[hits ball into pocket]
David: Science.
Van Hammersly: Bam, bam -
[hits ball into pocket]
Van Hammersly: and that’s why we have nitrogen!
David: American history.
Van Hammersly: And that’s when Lincoln said
[hits ball into pocket]
Van Hammersly: “Don’t diss my homies!”
David: You’ll receive one tape every year. Your library will grow, as will your knowledge of such diverse topics as: Renaissance painting, oceanography, corn futures, belly dancing; December 7th, 1941; billiards, rock lyrics, and many, many more! These are simply the best teaching-by-billiards tapes you can purchase. That’s why they’ve earned the TBD gold seal.

Now why anyone would want to make a speed racer movie is beyond me. But hey it’s being done, by the Wachowski Bros no less. Starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon and Matthew Fox.
