Grouplove- "Spreading Rumours" Album Review

Grouplove is an awesome, fast-rising indie/ pop band from Los Angeles, CA. that has caught the attention of critics and fans alike with their debut singles, "Tongue Tied" and "Colours". Both are fun, up-tempo songs and just as good as the other tracks on their 2011 debut album, "Never Trust a Happy Song". It's an ironic album title, because the vast majority of the songs on the album are fun and happy. I would compare their sound to Foster the People, The Kooks, and Modest Mouse. This first album is fantastic and full of great songs, I love this record - I give it a 8 /10.

The 2nd album, "Spreading Rumours" is not nearly as good, but it's not necessarily bad either - they changed their musical style on the new record and it actually came out pretty good. We have seen so many indie bands release terrible sophomore albums after the debut record was a huge success. It's usually because the band goes in a different direction musically instead of sticking to the format that worked in the first place.

Grouplove did the same thing with their second album; "Spreading Rumors", released in 2013. There is a couple good songs / singles on this record, like; "Ways To Go", "Shark Attack", and "Didn't have to go",. I would compare the musical style on this record to Fleet Foxes and/or The Go Find. It's a much darker and slower album but not bad... I give it a 5 /10.

And I HIGHLY recommend checking out Grouplove if you're an indie-pop fan! (Interesting fact: they do the ending credits music for the show "BoJack Horseman")

"BoJack Horseman" NEW Netflix Original Series

I just finished watching the premiere season of "BoJack Horseman", a Netflix original series that doesn't air on TV at all - it's exclusively through Netflix (or you can simply download it...). It's a satirical comedy about a washed up actor named "BoJack Horseman" living in Hollywood, California and doing what most 'has-been' actors do.... writes an autobiography before he is completely forgotten by everyone. It's an animated series with humans and animals together featuring the voices of some very famous and funny actors like; Will Arnett, who is the voice of "BoJack", Aaron Paul (from "Breaking Bad") voices the character of co-star "Todd", Alison Brie (from "Community") is the voice of "Diane Nguyen", Kristen Schaal (from "Flight of the  Conchords") does the voice of "Sarah Lynn", Patton Oswalt is super funny as the voice of "BoJack's" publisher; "Pinky Penguin".

Not to mention other great actors like: J.K. Simmons, Stanley Tucci, Ken Jeong, John Krasinski, and Stephen Colbert, who all guest-star vocally in one or two episodes.

With a star-studded cast like this, I'm willing to bet Netflix will churn out more episodes of "BoJack Horseman" and I think this is just the beginning of Netflix creating original TV shows. There has been a BIG response to this show and lots of promotion behind it, I recommend checking it out - it's hilarious and only twelve episodes long.

Newest video of "Quest Crew" performing LIVE

This is the most recent video of "Quest Crew" performing Live with D-Trix back in the crew. It makes such a huge difference! After almost 2 years, I'm super excited that Dominic is back and they perform perfectly, even though they're missing one of their members (Aichi -  the head spinner). This is the Ken-Ya Dance SoCal Festival in Los Angeles that features some of the best dance crews. I'm always on the lookout for new "Quest Crew" videos.

Does Anyone in Texas Speak English??

Well, 25 cents = like 100 "pesos". If you don't want to assimilate into our society and adapt to our culture, then just MOVE BACK to Mexico! Instead, Texas becomes more and more like Mexico every day. I can't go anywhere without hearing spanish spoken loudly around me. Where is our border protection?? Speak ENGLISH !!!!

"Wilfred" SERIES Finale

I love this show, but I absolutely hate how it ended... It was confusing, depressing and it doesn't definitively confirm who or what "Wilfred" is and why "Ryan" is the only one who can see him. It's like I said in my original post about this new season of "Wilfred" - The writers for the show wrote themselves into a corner. It's like the series was never supposed to go on this long so the writers / producers end the show the only way possible - they kill off "Wilfred". First, he loses one of his legs and then the x-rays showed a mass in his lungs that turns out to be stage four lung cancer.

So, "Wilfred"only has a matter of days left to live which leaves "Jenna" hysterical and even more upset than "Ryan". After four seasons, "Ryan" FINALLY hooks up with "Jenna" after obsessing over her from the very beginning. "Wilfred" reveals that his purpose has been to bring them together all along and help "Ryan" find happiness. But then, "Drew"suddenly comes back into the story to see "Wilfred" one last time. So of course, "Jenna" being the manipulative and selfish vixen she is; suddenly dumps "Ryan" and goes right back to dating "Drew" the tool. "Wilfred" dies in a gut-wrenching scene that shows "Ryan" crying over his body, only it actually shows him as a REAL dog for the first time ever. The show could end there just fine and it would make sense, even though "Wilfred" failed in bringing "Ryan & "Jenna" together after all.

Instead, the finale just ruins the entire series by "Wilfred" coming back to life...It might just be in "Ryan's head", but it's never determined. First, it's explained that "Wilfred" is a "god" and "Ryan" is the "chosen one"..... Then it shows it's all in "Ryan's" head and he really was hallucinating "Wilfred" the whole time. So, "Ryan" really is crazy and has been talking to a normal dog all along...? The finale did NOT wrap up the series - In fact, it poses even more questions with no more episodes and no answers. This two-part Finale was TERRIBLE !!!

Why I'm Single

Sounds about right.....  it gets harder in your late 20's to meet girls - Plus, all the really good ones are taken.

Profiling is NOT Prejudice - Its FACTS

Well how about that..... It's a sad fact that one out of three black males are in some phase of the criminal justice system. It's time we start paying attention to the crime - race ratio in this country instead of being accused of "racial profiling". It's not racism, its basic statistics.

"Community" Season 5

O

I thought season 5 of "Community" was going to be the series finale. However, the series doesn't  come to a conclusive end in the finale. In fact, there is slight foreshadowing of a romantic connection between "Jeff" and "Annie", but nothing comes of it. I just figured losing 2 cast members in one season would kill the show off. Not to mention, there has been near cancellations in the past and at one point; we were all unsure if "Community" would even come back for a 4th season. The goal is "six seasons and a movie", so there are rumors that the remaining cast members will return for a final season and maybe "Annie" and "Jeff" will finally get together.

This season was pretty cool, it had a lot of themed parody episodes that "Community" is known for doing. That's actually my favorite aspect of this series. Season Five includes another "Dungeons and Dragons" episode, a campus-based social media craze episode, a Nicholas Cage episode where "Abed" loses his mind (again), a "Zodiac"-themed episode about the "Ass Crack Bandit", an episode where the whole school plays a game of 'the ground is hot lava' in a parody of "Mad Max", and a completely animated "GI Joe" episode. Unfortunately, my favorite character, "Troy" leaves the show and he's only in 4 episodes this season. The actor, Donald Glover, left to pursue his rap career full time. Chevy Chase also left the show and was very vocal about how unhappy he was playing the role of "Pierce". So they added a new character -"Professor Hickey", played by Jonathan Banks (from "Breaking Bad"). Also, "Chang" and "The Dean" both have a much more involved role with the "study group" to compensate for the loss of two characters.

This season was all about "Saving Greendale" and it ends with a two-part finale about saving the school from being sold and closed. I wouldn't mind a sixth season, but for the most-part, I am done with this show. It's lost most of it's momentum and unique charm, it's not as funny anymore.

"TrueBlood" Series Finale!

\

This is the Final, and by far the craziest season of "TrueBlood". So many surprises and twists plus this season is more action than drama. This season is all about a disease that's killing vampires called "Hepatitis-V". Symptoms are black veins appearing and spreading all over the body until the infected vampire dies a terrible death. It also makes them aggressive and desperate for clean blood.

Season seven starts with a  vampire attack in which the "hep-v positive" vampires attacked "Bon Temp", unaware there were good vampires there to protect them. It turns into an all out brawl between the good vampires & werewolves VS the infected vampires Who they easily kill mid-season in an epic scene. There were so many deaths and loss of characters during this final season - "Tara" meets the "truth death" in the first episode and it doesn't even show it happen.... "Lafayette" steals "Jessica's" vampire boyfriend and turns him gay. "Jessica" kills 3 out of 4 of "Andy Belflour's fairy daughters" and it just sort of blows over, like it's not a big deal. "Sam Merlotte" finds a new girlfriend after his last one just died and skips town with her, leaving "Merlottes Diner" to "Arlene". "Jason" is in another complicated relationship... This time, with a strong and possessive vampire who turns evil and meets the "true death" also. "Alcide" and "Sookie" are in a serious relationship, but he is shot and killed by mid-season. "Sookie" doesn't even grieve long - she goes right back to loving "Bill" almost immediately. 

"Bill" is back to his normal self when he discovers he is "Hep-V positive" and dying. "Jessica" is kind of a slut this season - She has sex with her gay vampire boyfriend, and when they break up she goes running back to "Jason" and sleeps with him immediately. Then "Hoyt" returns from Alaska, and he and "Jessica" start their relationship all over again. In fact, "Jessica" and "Hoyt"get married right away so "Bill" could walk her down the aisle before dying. 

There is a cure for "Hepatitis-V" that "Sara Newland" drank, (I can't believe she is still on this show) Thus, making herself the cure - her blood can cure all the sick vampires and restore order. "Eric' captures her and synthesizes her blood into a cure and a new alternative to drinking human blood, called "Newblood" However, "Bill" won't drink the cure, he has made peace with his death and plagued with flashbacks to his human life, and the realization that "Sookie" will never have a normal life with him. So in the Finale, by request; "Sookie"is the one that kills "Bill" and buries his remains, It's a super emotional scene - This whole series has been about those two and the ups and downs they experienced together and the show appropriately ends with the two of them (just not as I expected).At the end of the series finale, it shows years down the road that "Eric" and "Pam" are back in business and making a fortune with "NewBlood".

The last scene shows a peaceful "Bon Temp", and everyone is together for a picnic. It also shows a happy & pregnant "Sookie Stackhouse", but never reveals the father. 

It sucks this show is ending after seven AMAZING seasons, but it's ending in such a cohesive way that ends everything sensibly and ties the series up.so the show can't continue any longer. It was a GREAT series finale!

AMAZING finger tutting to Skrillex - "Kill Everybody"

Mind-blowing finger tutting to the music of Skrillex- "Kill Everybody" by "P-NUT". Every movement is in perfect sync with the music. I just recently discovered this dude and he is the best at finger tutting. Watch this video and if you like it, you can watch some of "P-NUT's" other tuttting videos - this is my favorite!

D-Trix - Michael Jackson Dance Tribute

Another cool dance video choreographed by D-Trix. This is a flash mob-style dance routine with the amount of people dancing in unison to "Love Never Felt so Good" by Michael Jackson.D-Trix must be friends with Everyone in the hip-hop dance community to pull this off. This is such a great and unique tribute video to the legendary Michael Jackson. There's a bunch of MJ tribute videos out there - but this one is really good & definitely worth watching !

D-Trix - Choreographed Dance to "Thriller" remix

D-Trix and friends put together this bad ass zombie-themed dance to a dubstep remix of "Thriller" by the great Michael Jackson. They took the choreography from the original 1982 music video, and updated the dance to match the dubstep beats. D-Trix choreographed this entire routine - he is a really big Michael Jackson fan and this is a pretty awesome homage to the late pop star.

I don't see any other members of Quest in this video,but i think I see Chach.. These are 2 of my favorite things combined, zombies and dubstep dancing. So I obviously enjoyed it and it's less than a minute long so check out the video above!

B-boy D-Trix Dub-Step Freestyle
