The Many Faces of Luke Steele

I have formed a fascination with the person you see in the picture to the right. When the song Walking on a Dream came up in my Pandora mix I immediately wanted to know more about the band. I went to YouTube and searched for the song and got the link to the video. Not what I expected.

What I love about this video is how seriously this band is taking their theme. I think a lot of videos can be kind of boring when the band takes themselves too seriously trying to look cool. At first I thought that Empire of the Sun is committed to this theme but on a budget and a little misguided. However, I think that they could be just messing around. The more I watch this and their other videos the more intrigued I become. What exactly is the deal here? What function does the other dude play? I need info.

I turn to Google Images and Wikipedia and get answers. I find a million different pictures of him and also find out that he is married and has a daughter. Interesting and not what I expected.

His other band Sleepy Jackson has a much different sound and his look when playing with the band is much more typical. I also came across this interview which is totally different from his Empire of the Sun personality and he appears to be on some serious drugs. Again, no clue if this is all a big joke.

Recently he's been featured on What We Talkin' About from Jay Z's most recent album Blueprint 3. There's no question that Luke Steele is intriguing. He definitely has a sense of humor about himself but how far does it go? I'll be interested in learning more.

Julia Roberts Hearts Julia Roberts

"I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before." -Julia Roberts

Shame on me for watching Duplicity. Shame shame shame on me. I knew it was a bad idea from the moment it was suggested, but I reluctantly agreed. It's really not just that i didn't like the movie (which i didn't). The problem is that I have despised Julia and the throbbing vein in her forehead ever since I wasted two hours of my life watching Notting Hill.

Does anyone else realize that for the most part Julia Roberts hasn't played a different role in the past ten years? In all of her recent roles she plays the same self satisfied smug character, delivering her lines with a such a self satisfied tone that I want to throw my shoe at the screen.

Bottom line, Julia thinks she can do no wrong. So I'm posting this picture below as a little treat for all four readers of this blog to remind everyone that this isn't quite true. So Julia, to truly surprise us...why not try spicing up the resume and continue to shave your pits por favor.

90210 Season 2 Premire

Season 2 of 90210 doesn't disappoint. The show starts out with the the end of the school year drawing to a close and lots of drama. All the girls are rocking fabulous new hair styles (Silver in particular), fun makeup, and awesome outfits. It's definitely entertaining to watch just for the fashion aspect.

Something truly puzzling to me is the dance number that takes place mid party that resembles the end of Slum Dog Millionaire. This shouldn't have been included in the show.

Meanwhile in the midst of all the fun main character Annie (gag) is battling inner demons after finding out the person she hit in a drive by is dead (guarantee it turns out she did not do this). Turning to booze and promiscuous behavior is a great turn of events for the boring Annie character we're used to.

The show ends with the return of Liam and Naomi scoring a compromising picture of dumb Annie. This season promises pure gold.

WHHHHHHY - Annie Lennox

WHHHHY - Sidewalk Etiquette

Annie Lennox asks what is the deal with the sidewalk etiquette lately?


Walkin on walkin on a crowded sidewalk. The suns still shining in the big blue sky, but it don't mean nothin to me. Oh let the rain come down, let the wind blow through me. I'm walkin on a crowded sidewalk with no room to pass. I've to so little patience left that it feels just like I'm walking on a crowded sidewalk. Walkin on walkin on a crowded sidewalk.

And if you're trying to slow me down, you know that I might snap. Cause if you're trying to slow me down, I know that you'll succeed. And if you want to hog the sidewalk, you're doin' it very well my dear.

Now Everyone of us was made to share the sidewalk. Everyone of us was made to pass. But you've been hoggin the sidewalk and the pain has cut too deep...So move aside from the curb and let me pass. Increase your pace or move aside...don't let me keep on walking....walking on a crowded sidewalk.
