A Musical Apology

I am hereby apologizing for not writing anything in so long. How am I doing that? With a song.

Y’all know I love rock music. I knew about Godsmack [a.n.- Sully Erna is the lead singer of the band Godsmack]. I loved the song I Stand Alone that is featured on the soundtrack of the movie The Scorpion King. In fact, that song is the reason I even mustered the will to watch the darn movie; and let’s face it, if you haven’t seen The Scorpion King, you do not deserve to live. (part two and part three were fun to watch, but not as fun as the original movie, even though it featured better actors). Anywho, here’s the vid for the soundtrack.

Lately, I’ve been sort of re-discovering Godsmack and Sully, and that is all thanks to a dear friend of mine. You can read her blog here: http://a-black-rose.blogspot.com/ she’s really amazing. Be kind, she’s not a native English speaker. P.S. – Viewer Discretion Advised.

She’s the epicness epicdom of epic epicness and she has a wicked taste in music that I am simply in awe of.

However, you already know that I try to keep the blah-blah to a minimum on this blog, and that is why I don’t write ‘classic’ reviews of songs/albums/artists/bands.

This is the only thing I will mention, not because it is the only thing worth mentioning, but because I could write a book on how awesome this band is.

The pyro effects in concerts are a pretty sweet touch. By that, I mean not everyone has the guts of including them in a show, mostly because of the high risks. The pyrotechnic effects add that something extra that make I Stand Alone one of the most awesome songs ever sung live.

Sully’s voice sounds even better live (how is that possible, right?!) than it does on a studio recording. Maybe I am a little biased on this- who cares?! I love a good band with good songs that sounds amah-zing! live.

I leave you with this amazing concert snippet, as I am off to watch The Avengers at the movie theatre with my best friend in the world. I hear it’s great, so expect a movie review soon, as well as a new playlist and if you’re lucky, maybe a movies-I’ve-seen-recently rating.

Cheers,

Lexxa~

 

Love and Other Drugs. Random thought.

After many days/months of wanting to see the movie Love and Other Drugs, and being too lazy to actually look for it on the web, or go to the cinema, or other crap i sometimes consider energy consuming and get too lazy to do, I saw it because my room mate wanted to.

(In case you didn’t see it yet —- SPOILER ALERT)

 

Top Ten Nicolas Cage Movies

Still from the movie Ghost Rider

Most of you know I am going to be an Extra in Ghost Rider 2, that starts filming in early November this year. If you didn’t know yet, you just found out. Based on some research I did, since I am not such a Nicolas Cage fan [***], I think that maybe these movies may be the best of his entire career.

 

Avatar cu girofar :))

preluat de pe Carco-Stiri:

Ultima dambla la nivel mondial – sa-si boteze lumea copii cu nume din Avatar. Neytiri, Toruk sau chiar Pandora, nume de planeta, numa’ bun pentru americanii aia, care daca mai mananca mult isi fac fundurile cat o planeta mica spre mijlocie. Nene, e prea de tot. La noi n-o sa tina asa ceva. Pai, ce, avem noi in calendar vreun sfanta Neytiri sau vreun sfant Toruk? Ceva zile, cu rosu, Sf Neytiri si cei 40 de avatari? Neah, daca nu e rostu’ de facut cinste, nu te baga nimeni in seama. In plus, cum ar suna prin scoli “Neytiri, tu ce vrei sa te faci cand ai sa fii mare?” Sau, peste generatii – Votati Toruk, avataru’ violet! Ca sa nu mai vorbim de racnetele dinitre blocuri: Neytiri, gura mat** de b**, da maneaua mai incet, baga***** in avataru’ tau de nesim***! Si la placuta de inmatriculare de la masina ce treci? B 56 TOR? B08NEY? N-are haz. Pai, peste ani si ani, s-auzim ca pustiul minune de la Steaua, Toruk Xlescu a fost prins beat mort in carciuma Pandora, dupa ce s-a batut cu o gasca de avatari? Si manelistii, manelistii ce-o sa faca? Ce nume de scena o sa-si mai aleaga? Neytiri Minune? Toruk de la Caransebes?
