Idol
So Chris Allen wins American Idol. Evangelical homophobes breathed a sigh of relieve all over the country last night.I'm not surprised he won and honestly, I really don't have anything against the guy, but it's obvious who has more talent out of the two.
I just can't see Chris Allen making any music that will appeal to anyone other than yuppy college kids. I'm sure his CD will be played at many Frat parties as a nice break from Dave Matthews or James Blunt. Just more generic mainstream bullshit to cover up the sounds of beer pong and date rape.

Holy Frak!! BattleStar Galactica is awesome!
I'll be the first to admit that 5 years ago when I heard the SciFi channel was remaking BSG I laughed. The mental image of the kind of nerds that would want to watch a remake of a POS 80s Star Wars ripoff show made me feel vastly superior in my dorkyness. Never would I stoop to the level of those losers.Five years later... Myself and Dana are currently on Season 3 of the show and completely addicted. I never thought in a million years that I would be completely sucked into a show that I had such previous judgements about. The show is seriously one of the best written and acted shows we have watched. I'm proud to list it along side The Wire, Alias, Lost and Rome as my top 5 favorite modern television shows.
Wether you believe me or not, just watch the Mini-series that started the show. It has every aspect of what makes a great drama. It's not like Star Wars or Star Trek. There aren't annoying kids or CG robots running around. No lightsabers or darkside vs lightside crap. It just a war drama that happens to take place in space. Involving humans that are in many ways just like us.
American idol
Frankly I don't really care who wins American Idol this year. I think both contestants are talented but I won't buy any of their music. Basically the season ended for me 2 weeks ago when Alison was voted off. It was nice to hate on Gokey all year then see his sad face when they announced Adam had taken the final 2 spot. It's just a shame he lasted one more week than Alison. Once again i'm going to state that this is my last year watching AI. I just pray that there is something decent to watch on Tuesdays next year.
Music Review- The Horrors Primary Colours
The Horrors Primary Colors
The sophomore album from the Southend England band The Horrors is my album of the week. Having Geoff Barrow of Portishead, and the music video director Chris Cunningham as producers pretty much guarantee's a fantastic album. Add in creepy sythesizers, Ian Curtis-esqe vocals and some crazy instrumentals then you have a fucking awesome album. The very trance like sound of the first track Mirror's Image draws you in and the album ends on an equally high note with Sea within a Sea.
Honestly, I blow at writing album reviews. There a certain art to writing a review for something you can only hear and I don't have the musical knowledge to base most of my opinions on. If you are a fan of Post-Punk era Britpop (ie. Joy Division, Bloc Party, Depeche Mode) then you will most likely enjoy this album. You can tell the band and the producers really wanted to make something special with every track and they didn't just slap together 2 singles and a dozen crap songs to sucker some hipsters into blowing their money they made working at the coffee shop.
First!!!
This is my first attempt at putting together a personal blog. I plan to update it regularly with reviews, news articles and random crap I decide to write down. Whether I do any of the previously stated depends on if I lose interest. Most of the reviews will be posted when I watch or listen to the item for the first time. Not everything I review is going to be current. In fact, a lot of it will be old crap that you may have watched or listened to a long time ago and i am just now enjoying myself. If you want current reviews then go to some other site where people get paid to write their ideas and views down. Maybe if someone starts sending me checks i will go see movies on opening nights and keep up with modern music.
