Ok, Moby is overrated but Is till love some of his work. His best of is being released in a few weeks with a new single featuring Debbie Harry. It is called New York New York. I am not sure what to say about it......not a fan yet, might be a grower.
The Carnations
Here is a personal big-up for my flatmate Dave. This is The Carnations and they're pretty sweet. You can check out their songs on their Myspace page.

Zwan - Honestly
Zwan was his next project after The Smashing Pumpkins, it was short-lived and highly underrated. It was a great lp unlike Billy Corgan's last solo lp. Here was the lead single off their lp, Mary Star Of The Sea, the song is Honestly.
David Bowie & Trent Reznor - I'm Afraid Of Americans
This is his most underrated song, in my opinion. Enjoy!!!
Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill
A favourite of mine from this year, this is Harrowdown Hill from The Eraser.

Go check it out as well as the Halloween special. For you Media Mentalists, I give to you the transformation from Landis' An American Werewolf In London.
Beck - Think I'm In Love
My favourite song off this lp, it resonates pretty well at the moment. This isn't the greatest version of this, you are gonna have to turn it up loud to hear this. Enjoy!!
Beck - Elevator Music
As people know I love The Information, one of the best lps of this year. This is Elevator Music
Beck - O Menina
This, This Girl I Know and Inside Out are bonus tracks on the Japanese version of The Information. Hope You Like!!
Lady Sovereign
Ok, Not my kind of music, but for some reason, I love it. Her spikiness is really great and even a cover Pretty Vacant works so well. Some samples of her songs can be found on the Lady Sovereign Myspace Page. Her new lp Public Warning is out in the US and import in UK (how did that happen?, she's from London ?!?). Anyways, here is the video for Love Me Or Hate Me.
Miho Haturi - Barracuda
Miho Haturi has recently just released new lp Ecdysis and here is the video for Barracuda.

Maritime - We, The Vehicles
This is a cool chilled lp which I heard after a Mean Dawg podcast. I don't think they are known in the UK at all and I know they are big in Japan but it's pretty cool lp. Here's the video for Tearing Up The Oxygen.
Asobi Seksu - New Years
This isn't an official video for this song but having just heard this song, I feel anything with this tune should be posted. Thanks to Mean Dawg for the tune. Very nice, Indeed. Peace.
Kevin Pollak's Aristocrat Joke
This Kevin Pollak's Christopher Walken impression of The Aristocrats joke. Need to be seen.
The Last Kiss
If anyone has heard the 2nd episode of CINaddiction, should know how I feel about this film. If you haven't heard it, well go listen to it NOW!!!
To be blunt, I detest The Last Kiss, this film made me angry.......and I am not alone. The entire audience was angry at all the characters. They are all a bunch of yuppies making really stupid errors of judgement and never fully realising their mistakes. Some people call this "realistic", these characters are such stereotypes and 2 dimensional, it was so far from realistic it hurt.
Basically, Zach Braff is in a really great relationship, and then wants to try it with Rachel Bilson of O.C. fame. Yes, she's attractive but his relationship is far too great for him to even consider it. His friends are even worse and are not likeable at all. Scripted by Paul Haggis of Million Dollar Baby (Ugh!!) and Crash (Good, but overrated).
I recommend this if you want to get really aggressive at stupid characters who you are glad to not be. It is bad film by Tony Goldwyn, and even though the characters are unlikeable, Zach Braff is still really good. Only if you have seen everything else. 4/10
Swing Blade
Nice little parody trailer. What would happen if you mix Sling Blade and Swingers.......Watch!!!

The Venture Brothers
Ok, only just heard about this last night from Jerome but it's so cool, it needs to get a Mentalist Mention. The Venture Brothers is this cartoon that can be found on adult swim. It is basically all about superheros and supervillans but it has such a twisted humour and great references, it is well worth a watch. Here's an episode I watched last night called The Trial Of The Monarch, it's in 3 parts. Enjoy!!
But First, Here's The Intro To The Venture Brothers.

Saw 3
Another Halloween weekend, another Saw film. The first Saw, highly original but with bad acting from the two leads ruining some of the atmosphere but saved from the amazing ending. The sequel is a house of horrors with the serial killer Jigsaw coming to the fore and instead of losing atmosphere, it heightens it. Donnie Wahlberg is great as the detective who interrogates Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). Personally, it was an overall better film than the original. Now the 3rd film is here, has it finally run out of steam?
Nope, even though it relies a bit too much on flashbacks, it is my favourite film in the series. Hopefully, this will be the end and they can call this a trilogy as it links back to all the previous entries and ties alot of things up. Jigsaw is in ill health, he can't even leave his bed but he is still able to get his games being played. A man who lost his son in a hit and run accident is forced to go through trials to test him and hopefully make him a better man. There are many other plot strands which I don't want to reveal as it may ruin enjoyment of the film. You NEED to have seen the previous films before you see this, this film is for the fans.
It is a much more character based film, more in vein to the original. I have thought about this next point for a while and I am confident in saying that this is the best horror trilogy yet. Each film has been a different beast and there have not been a significant dip in quality in any of them. There is a moment, about 20 minutes in, where I thought the film had lost its way but thankfully it was only a moment. Go see it, especially if you are fan of these films. 8/10
Welcome again
For some reason, beyond my powers, my previous site Media Mentalists has stopped responding to me; possibly due to Meat Loaf overload, it happens. So, to rectify the problem.....ta-dah, the new site which looks.....strangely similar to my previous site. I will be posting quite alot soon so keep checking us out. Apologies for people who frequent Media Mentalists, to make up for it, here's Shawnee Smith from Saw 3. Peace.
