Passion Pit - "Lifted Up (1985)" NEW ALBUM!

This is the first single off Passion Pit's new record, "Kindred" set to release on April 21, 2015. This will be Passion Pit's third studio album and based off this song, I think this record will be just as good as the first two were.Their second album, "Gossamer" was a huge success (Review of that album posted on this blog). In 2012, "Gossamer" reached number #1 on the "Billboard Top 100 Albums". So, I have high hopes for this new record and I can't wait until it releases in a couple months! This is a great song and the video is a moving version of the new album cover. Kind of a sneak preview of what to expect on this band's third album, and so far I love what I'm hearing - check it out!

Sia - "Elastic Heart" (Music Video)

If You like Tove Lo, than you will surely enjoy this artist, Sia. She has very similar musical sound and genre. But unlike Tove Lo, Sia is an Australian artist that has been around since 2000 when she released her first album with Sony Records. She is very eccentric (especially when performing live) and kind of like a hippie version of Lady Ga-Ga, but with actual talent. This song is off Sia's sixth and most recent album, "100 Forms of Fear". She is a controversial artist and this is a controversial music video for her new single, "Elastic Heart". It stars professional dancer, Maddie Ziegler and oddly, professional actor, Shia LaBeouf.... I almost didn't recognize him, he looks more like Gerard Butler in this video. He buffed up, grew a gnarly beard, and is apparently trying his hand in dancing. In the video, Maddie Ziegler and Shia LaBeouf perform an interpretive dance while locked in a cage together all dirty, and Shia is not half bad at dancing. It's a pretty cool music video and Sia isn't even in it.

Tove Lo - "Queen of the Clouds" - Album Review

Tove Lo is the newest pop sensation from Sweden with a very unique and electronic style of music. She gained international success rapidly and is already on the radio every fifteen minutes after her first EP released in early 2014. "Truth Serum" is an absolute masterpiece and I love EVERY song on that EP. Tove Lo gained so much attention and success that she signed with Island Records and immediately released her first full-length album in late 2014. She recorded ten  new songs and most are pretty good. She also added some of the songs from her EP, but the album is not nearly as good as the "Truth Serum" EP. Plus, I hate the cover art/picture (Top photo). She is much better looking than she appears on the album cover and she is a  phenomenal artist that is only going to gain more mainstream media attention here in the United States. I just hope she doesn't get over-played like Lorde did. Overall, I give this debut album, "Queen of the Clouds" a  7/ 10

Tove Lo - "Habbits (Stay High)"

                                         

I posted this music video back in early August because I fell in love with Tove Lo and this song in particular. I predicted in that posting that Tove Lo was destined to become super popular & famous. Sure enough, I just heard this song on the radio a few days ago, (and i rarely listen to the radio) I knew it! The debut EP, "Truth Serum" was a HUGE success and every song is a potential hit single. In fact, Tove Lo gained so much mainstream attention that this Swedish, Electro-Pop star quickly recorded ten new songs and released a full-length album titled, "Queen of the Clouds" after signing with Island Records.

"Quest Crew" (2015 LIVE)

b

This is the first "Quest Crew" performance of 2015, performing their new routine, "Lighting in a Bottle". I've long been a fan of "Quest", especially now that "D-Trix" is back in the crew. This is a good quality video of this entertaining & explosive performance by my favorite dance crew, LIVE in Orlando, Florida. It's just the b-boy members performing, so no boring part in the choreography. It's a b-boy ONLY performance, which makes it even better (in my opinion).

Funny "The Walking Dead" Spoof Recap

Yesterday was the return of "The Walking Dead"after the usual mid-reason break. I think they do that to leave the millions of hardcore fans dying in anticipation. After two months, season six finally premiered the new episode for the second half of the season. That's why i like to wait until the season ends, and then just download every episode at once. That way, I don't have to deal with those huge cliffhangers. I can't wait to watch this entire season. This mid-season "recap" is just a silly spoof and it's especially funny if you're familiar with "The Walking Dead".

"Superman" and "Batman" together at the "Super Cafe"

"Superman" and "Batman" sit down together yet again at the "Super Cafe" in another HISHE video clip. I love the relationship between "Batman" & "Superman" that has been established in this series of YouTube videos. They're close friends and they poke fun at each other. In this clip, "Superman" thinks "Mrs. Incredible" is flirting with him. I don't know why it says "Swingers Tribute", it's actually a parody of a "Seinfeld" episode....

"Fantastic Four" - Trailer

This is the first trailer for the NEW "Fantastic Four" movie, and it actually looks like it might be good. Just like the new "Amazing Spiderman" franchise, "Fantastic Four" is being re-made into a brand new movie franchise. The first "Fantastic Four" movie franchise was terrible, cheesy, and made for kids. Everyone hated those movies, it even made "Silver Surfer" look lame. This new "Fantastic Four" movie is supposed to be darker and more comic book accurate, just like the new "Amazing Spiderman" movies were.

It's been confirmed this will be a trilogy and they are already filming the second movie. This first movie covers the origins of the "Fantastic Four" the way it happened in the original Marvel comic book. Four scientists are working on a teleportation experiment when something goes haywire and explodes, mutating the four scientists and giving them powers. It's a brand new director, producers, and a new cast  including a guy named Michael Jordan (the guy who looks like Nick Cannon). He plays "The Human Torch", which is a bizarre casting choice. Almost as bizarre as Jamie Bell (the unknown British guy fom "Jumper") being casted as "Thing", even though he is a small actor and "Thing" is HUGE.... Miles Teller (the guy from "That Awkward Moment" and "21 and Over") is casted to play "Reed Richards" A.K.A "Mr. Fantastic" which is much more believable. Kate Mara (she played small roles in movies such as "127 Hours" and "Iron Man 2") is casted as "Sue Storm" A.K.A "The Invisible Woman", this will be her first starring role in a feature film. With a C-list cast of actors like this, the "Fantastic Four" reboot might be just as terrible as the original franchise. Which would just add to the list of terrible movies that Marvel Studios has released. I'm eager to see if they get it right this time when it's released on August 7, 2015.

"Ted 2" - Trailer

This is the short trailer for "Ted 2" set to release June 26, 2015. It's even bettter than the full-length trailer, because Tom Brady makes an appearance in the sequel and this preview shows some of that. I loved all the Tom Brady references in the first movie and I also loved that this trailer aired during the Superbowl before The Patriots won. Mark Wahlberg and Tom Brady are good friends and Wahlberg is a huge Patriots fan. He was seen at the game and then congratulating Brady after his victory.

Other than that, this movie looks stupid and ridiculous. It's about a magic, talking teddy bear that wants to get married and have kids with his trashy wife, but he needs a sperm donor.....because he's a teddy bear. It was kind of cute and funny the first time, but there is no reason to make a sequel...

The Patriots - Superbowl Champions!!!!

Just as I predicted and hoped for, The New England Patriots beat the cocky, Seattle Seahawks (28 - 24) to become Superbowl 49 Champions! This victory solidified The Patriots as a NFL Dynasty. This also puts Tom Brady in the conversation of the best Quarterbacks to EVER play. Brady and Bill Bellichick are the most winningest QB - Head Coach combo in the league. They have gone to 6 Superbowls together and won 4 of those championship games. This ties the record with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. Tom Brady was awarded Superbowl MVP in 3 of those victories, including this one. Superbowl MVP wins a brand new, red GMC truck, but Brady gave this truck to Malcolm Butler for basically winning the game for them. Butler pulled off a miracle interception in the final seconds of the game in a play that will go down in infamy. He stopped the Seahawks from winning due to a terrible offensive call by Coach, Pete Carrel that has already been replayed over and over and disected from every angle. The Seahawks beat Peyton Manning and The Broncos in last year's Superbowl, and had a chance to play abother tough team and take down another top tier Quarterback for back-to-back Superbowl Wins. The Patriots crushed those dreams AND The Legion of Doom, while the Seahawks show what sore losers they are by starting that fight at the very end of the game. What a bunch of classless crybabies! Brady said he is "still in the middle of his career", so he is far from finished. I would look to see Tom Brady & The Patriots appear in more Superbowls to come!
