Last night, I went to see Justice perform at club a near where I live, and needless to say, it was amazing. Before the show, both Gaspard and Xavier were sitting at a table right next to ours. My friends and I shamelessly approached them to take a picture together and I managed to make some small talk with Xavier. I didn't get to say much, but they were probably too french for me to relate anyways.
Their DJ set was definitely a delight and they knew how to please the dance hungry crowd. The mixes weren't as distortion heavy as I expected it to be. May I call it rather mild? But they really kicked ass with their originals. I think the first track from Cross that they played was 'One Minute to Midnight.' It was just ten minutes of pure suspense and release... My memory is a bit hazy after that... I was suffocating in the crowd and probably way to drunk from one too many tequila shots. I left a little early, right after DVNO and D.A.N.C.E, because there was no space to dance or breath. This is also when I decided Justice is now too mainstream for my own good.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, I ended up watching the new Batman.
I rate it a negative 99 instead of the -100 that I predicted, because now I can genuinely make fun of Batman's retarded voice once again (if you don't remember, Christian Bale also had a chronic lugie in his throat in the previous installment).
Maybe I didn't like this movie because I'm shallow. I think Bale, Ledger, and Gyllenhaal are all pretty ugly. And I hate uglies :(. Also, I didn't know it was possible to cast someone who's even uglier than Katie Holmes.
I wasn't lying when I said I can't get enough of him. It's all I listen to on my dinky iriver these days. If anyone gets a hold of his track 'BEEP BEEP' or 'Gotta Boyfriend' please let me know.
With iPhone 3G causing all the rage these days, I figured other, more capable contenders are ought to be BLGGD about. Here's your upcoming super sexy touch screen qwerty slider from the recently troubled Sony Ericsson. I am definitely getting this when it's released sometime in the next few months (hopefully September). It runs on the new Windows Mobile 6.1 OS and touts its unique Panel User Interface. Here's a simple comparison chart between the XPERIA X1 and iPhone 3G. iPhone has some edges in some areas (UI, processor speed, and internal memory) but its really neck and neck as it lacks in the most basic functions. I've also heard some horrible things about the lack of a tactile keyboard (this is key!).
So, Australians are actually more talented than I thought. Sparro's self-titled debut album is an 80's inspired, pop infused collection of dance songs. Somehow when I heard his hit single 'Black and Gold', I knew there was no way a straight man could underlay his song with such gay beats. And I was right. I still think his sound manages to appeal to a lot of people. I can especially relate to '21st Century Life,' which is like an 80's anthem dedicated to the world we're living in now.
No I havn't seen it yet, and I probably wont. 'Batman Begins' was indescribably underwhelming with a lot of unjustifiable filler scenes (that training in the Asian prison... WTF?!). I don't imagine this installment to be any better. I can hardly stand Christian Bale, the mom abuser. And I hate pretentious Summer Blockbusters. This is also a comic based movie that's taking itself way too seriously. Really, I should direct the question back at you Nolan. Why so serious?
