Common's "Blue Sky"

I love this new song and video for Common. I hope the rest of his new album called "The Dreamer, The Believer" sounds this way as well. The video has a very nice crisp look to it. Take a peek please.

Beyonce's New Video for "Party"

I love this video. I don't like that they have swapped Andre 3000 for J.Cole in the video (Kanye West also seems to be a no-show). B seems to be having fun though, she brought along sister Solange and Kelly Rowland. Check it out (it's interesting that it takes place in a trailer park, wonder why?)

Tattooed Barbie

I think these parents are going a little overboard. If you don't want your child to have this, then simply don't buy it! I think the doll accurately portrays a significant portion of young women these days. These moms should take a lgood look around outside.

NBC's new series "Grimm"

This is a new series that will debut on NBC. It is being described as "a cop drama—with a twist...a dark and fantastical project about a world in which characters inspired by Grimm's Fairy Tales exist". The previews also mentioned that it shares the same producer as "Buffy, The vampire Slayer" (which of course would catch my attention). I'll give it a try. The full length trailer is listed below. It will air Friday evenings at 9/8 central time.

Bjork "Biophilia" album review

The wait is finally over, the album hits stores last week. The album in general is a pretty mellow offering. Most tracks have a delicate, light, airy quality to them. Favorite tracks so far are "Moon" "Thunderbolt" and "Mutual Core." The songs are deceptively simple, but usually build to become rather complex. A lot of songs change tempo midway or the beats might intensify and then calm down again. The songs have an earth friendly quality and have interesting melodic harmonies (all songs have a theme of science and nature). A friend of mine heard the Biophilia songs and said to me that Bjork writes classical pieces with modern instruments or electronics. I have to say that I agree with her. Bjork is a classically trained musician although she doesn't to play instruments. The album is fascinating, but completely non-commercial (which is not necessarily a bad thing). Bjork has her own unique sound and vision and continues to put out music without sacrificing her uniqueness. While this new music is not groundbreaking for her, it does build from where she left off on her last effort "Volta." This album probably won't earn her any new listeners, but her fans will be more than happy with this latest outing.

"The Walking Dead" Season 2 trailer

The premiere episode for season 2 was so exciting. I feel like TV programs don't get much better than this. So horrifying and satisfying at the same time. The scene with the herd of zombies on the freeway was so scary and intense (I was literally on the edge of my seat). It really feels more like an ongoing film than a TV series. I highly recommend this show if you haven't seen it yet. Not for the squeemish though. Perfect for the Halloween season.

Dog that hates Julia Roberts

This was so weird, I had to blog about it. They mentioned this a couple of weeks ago on The Soup. This couple's dog recoils in horror at the mere site of Julia Roberts. First of all, why are they showing their dog pictures of Julia Roberts? The dog seems obviously traumatized by her, this is too funny.

"3 Musketeers" Trailer

I don't know how many times this movie has been redone, but this particular version could be exciting. It also has the added bonus of Milla Jovovich weiding swords (count me in). Milla alone could probably make me go out and see this movie. Orlando Bloom also stars in the film. The film opens next Friday, Ocober 14th.
