People Like Us - Official Trailer (HD)

Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pine star in this what seems to be a sweet, funny and tissues may have to come out when seeing this film.  It does look good though...

The All-American Rejects - Kids In the Street.... Album Review

I don’t normally write a full blown review of albums… only have done it for a few. I usually just post the album on my ‘playing on my iPod list’ (on the side of the blog) and list a few sounds that really stand out. But this album, Kids In the Street is by far the best album of 2012 so far!! I have had the album playing in my car since Tuesday night and I just really, really love it. I’m loving it more and more as the days go on. It’s funny, Wednesday, I would have told you my favorite song was ‘Fast and Slow’, Thursday I would have said ‘Kids in the Street’, ‘Affection’ or ‘Walk Over Me’. Today is ‘Out the Door’. I even had to bring it in with me to work… the 30 minute drive to and from work just isn’t enough!
Looks like I will be playing out this album and promote the crap out of it!

Anyway – I’m going to break down for you:
Someday’s Gone and Beekeeper’s Daughter – first videos and singles. Great songs – love it! Beekeeper’s Daughter was just really different sounding from what I thought I should hear from these guys, but I’m glad they surprised me! Sounds real good.
Fast & Slow – just a super fun song… with the windows down and it was a real nice touch adding Audra Mae on there (she is signed with OneSideDummy Records). She gives a real nice kick to this song.
Heartbeat Slowing Down – the words and Tyler’s voice really got me on this song. ‘All we had written well, its been erased’; ‘tell me how am I supposed to breathe, losing you is choking me’.
Walk Over Me – the whole song is just fun.
Out The Door - love the chorus on this song.. when Tyler Ritter sings ‘I walk out the door’ – just really like that part.
Kids in the Street – really loved the words on this song. Made me kinda sad (depending on the mood) but definitely puts me back to when I was a teenager with the music blasting, hair in my face and loving every minute, every second of my life at that moment. ‘used to laugh, used to cry’; ‘a glory night is a story saved’
Bleed Into Your Mind – love the sound and feel of this song. ‘I need you one last time’
Gonzo – Another good song. Love how during the chorus and right at the end it gives such an impact of get the hell up and enjoy life. ‘we bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride’
Affection – ‘I need affection’. Who doesn’t?
I For You – a very rocknroll song to end with the last words, ‘somebody like me… I’d die for you.’ END.

I bought the deluxe version so I got a few extra songs – demo versions except for ‘drown next to me’.
Tyler Ritter’s voice sounds so great on this album and I've really enjoyed seeing where this band is at. Been a fan from the beginning but this album has to be my favorite! A nice real mixture of vulnerability, honesty and fun. Sounds so cool and yet sophisticated, which I love.
They are on tour, but unfortunately, I cannot make the dates or locations they are playing… I’m hoping they put out some more dates. Would really LOVE to see them play this album live! Just feels like it would be a real fun night!

I will post audio to some of the songs when I get a chance for those who need more convincing! Now… for those who don't need any more convincing & haven’t bought the album yet… GO NOW!

Cults - You Know What I Mean official video

I know last year, I kept tweeting about their songs, 'Go Outside' and 'Abducted' - which I love.  But this latest video/song is just really cool.  Love their song... sounds very old school.

Feist - The bad in each other...official video

Really love this song and who can ignore Feist's voice really?  No one.   This video though, something about it... makes me feel sad but at the very end possibly hopeful.  What do you think?

Florence + The Machine - Never Let Me Go official video

This is one of my favorite songs off the latest album, Ceremonials.  This video is very dark, eerie, but the matches the song real well.

Santigold, disparate youth music video...

Santigold definitely grabbed my attention a few years back after I heard the great, ‘L.E.S. Artists’, ‘Shove It’ and ‘Lights Out’. Really like her sounds, can definitely tell she has been influenced by different genres of music; 80s music, old school hip hop, new wave, etc. really cool when someone can come up with their own sound!
Three songs have been released off her upcoming new album (smartly titled), Master of My Make-Believe. So far this song/video is my favorite from what I’ve heard… but I do always change favorites depending on mood and life I guess.
If you get a chance, please check out these other songs as well, ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘Go’ ft. Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The album will be released sometime on April.

Snow White and the Huntsman - Official Trailer #2 (2012) [HD]

The teaser looked awesome but this full trailer is amazing... I'm really excited to see this on a big screen.  Just hope it doesn't disappoint!  How amazing does Charlize Theron look in this... wow.  Great cast, Theron, Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard and so on and so on.

Another song by Steve Aoki, "Heartbreaker"

Such a catchy song... listen to the song and let me know if you start singing the chorus randomly.  I must admit, I found myself singing along and I had to share.

Life Happens --- Official Movie Trailer

Liking the cast on this one... Krysten Ritter is always funny in every film I've seen her in and she actually co-wrote this so it should be entertaining.  Well, I hope anyway.   Kate Bosworth, Geoff Stults, Jason Biggs, Rachel Bilson and Kristen Johnston star in this film.  What do you think?

Dark Shadows - Official Trailer 2012 [HD] Johnny Depp Movie

This looks pretty funny.. and I have to admit besides the awesome cast Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Grace Moretz, Helena Bonham Carter, Jonny Lee Miller and Eva Green.  This is a film by the weirdly but super talented Tim Burton.  Are you in?

HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn

Here is a little teaser of an original film from HBO which should be airing in May.  Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen star as Gellhorn and Hemingway; telling a love story, their love story.
