Flight of the Conchords Tour Date Announcement!

January 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

fotcToday is one of the best days of my life!!  I just saw the tour schedule for the “Flight of the Conchords ” and I am truly amazed that they are coming to Miami.  Only very mainstream acts come here. And as you can tell, I  am a HUGE fan of the show.

They may be going to your city also.  For the Florida dates Kristen Schaal (Mel) will be the opener, and Arj Barker (Dave) will be opening on quite a few nights.  Check out the schedule (as per Ticketmaster & their myspace page) below.

David Cook: Coming to a college near you!

January 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment

davidcook

“American Idol” winner David Cook is taking his show on the road! He will be visiting colleges across the nation, he announced today.

The 37-date tour starts on February 13th at Florida State University and end up at the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma, on April 25.

David was adamant about doing the college shows because he finds it nostalgic.

“There’s something inherently nostalgic about playing college shows. So many amazing acts used to do it, so it’s nice to be able to bring that ideal back, in some small way,” Cook said.

LMFAO-I’m in Miami Trick!

January 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I had never heard of this group until my buddy Jonny reviewed “LMFAO” in his latest edition of “My Virgin Ears.”
 Yes we may be partial to the song being from Miami and all but it’s a fun song you can jam to in your car or at the latest “in club” on South Beach.

Check out their tv debut on “Last Call with Carson Daly” last night.

beyonceobama1Beyonce performed at the Barack Obama’s Inaugural Celebration on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial today. She sang “America the Beautiful” with the help of Bruce Springsteen, Will.i.am, and a full gospel choir in red robes.

President Obama took the stage and had these words to say:

“As I stand here tonight, what gives me the greatest hope . . . is you: Americans of every race and region and station who came here because you believe in what this country can be and because you want to help us get there.”

Zooey Deschanel in Domino Magazine

January 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

zooeymag1Zooey Deschanel is featured in the February 2009 edition of Domino Magazine.  In this article the actress/musician shows how she transformed a spare room into an artists retreat.

She transformed the room into a place where she could practice with her instruments that include guitars, ukulele’s and other percussion instruments and also peaceful enough where she could curl up and enjoy a good book.  Deschanel soundproofed the walls to shield her neighbors while she creates tunes that might end up on a future She & Him album.

Zooey shares what is your favorite thing about the space.

It’s like a present to myself to have a room solely devoted to creative endeavors.  It’s a nice, quiet, place to write music, do a bit of paperwork and read.

Not only does Zooey sing and act but she dabbles in other creative activities.

I paint a little and also sew and cook-sometimes playing with different mediums can be inspiring for your work.

For the full article pick up the latest issue of Domino Magazine!

Who will save Joaquin Phoenix?

January 18, 2009 By 1 Comment

I really don’t know what to say about Joaquin Phoenix’s “so called” transition into the music business. In October, Joaquin announced via E! News that he was retiring from acting and after watching this video I am still unsure whether its meant to be a joke or not? He performed last night at the Las Vegas club Lavo.

If he is for real, why isn’t anyone doing anything? Joaquin’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck has been following him and filming his move into the music industry for a documentary. But if you saw your loved one making a huge mistake wouldn’t you say something?

You guys decide, here is his attempt at rapping:


And here he is falling off the stage!
