White Zombie (Movie) [1932]

Young couple Madeleine and Neil are coaxed by acquaintance Monsieur Beaumont to get married on his Haitian plantation. Beaumont's motives are purely selfish as he makes every attempt to convince the beautiful young girl to run away with him. For help Beaumont turns to the devious Legendre, a man who runs his mill by mind controlling people he has turned into zombies. After Beaumont uses Legendre's zombie potion on Madeleine, he is dissatisfied with her emotionless being and wants her to be changed back. Legendre has no intention of doing this and he drugs Beaumont as well to add to his zombie collection. Meanwhile, grieving 'widower' Neil is convinced by a local priest that Madeleine may still be alive and he seeks her out.

Flunk - Morning Stars (Mp3 Download)

Flunk's debut album "For Sleepyheads Only" introduced the US to Norway's stylish synth pop trio of Ulf Nygaard (producer and vocalist), singer Anja Øyen Vister, guitarist Jo Bakke and drummer Erik Ruud. Their cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" gave them not only critical acclaim but a large following from the track appearing on a slew of stateside releases. Described as "woozy, gauzy, muted, blurry and very groovy", Flunk occupies that unlikely place between folk and electronica. At once organic and studio-tweaked, the Flunk sound layers Björk-like Anja's creamy, dreamy vocals over a hushed base of samples, keys, and softly strummed guitars, creating an ethereal, past-midnight vibe. On Morning Star, they have evolved this sound further creating a pure indie sound with less emphasis on electronica.

Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice LP (Mp3)

Here's the new album from Minus the Bear. Every release from the Bear is pretty solid and this is no exception. They've still got the tapping guitar hooks, sleepy vocals and hihat driven drumming. It's nice to see some things never change. Dr L'ling is one of my personal favs from the album. Knights and Double Vision are honorable mentions.

Rob Zombie bassist Piggy D releasing solo album

Current Rob Zombie bassist and former Wednesday 13/Amen bassist Matt Montgomery (Piggy D) is set to release a new solo album on July 31st, 2007. Piggy said in a recent radio interview that the record will be available in the official online store as well as a few digital download sites. "This record doesn't sound like any band I've ever been in," he said. "If fans of my former bands dig it, that's cool; if not, that's fine too. I plan on being around for a while playing music that I love on stage and on records. I'm having more fun in ZOMBIE than I've ever had in my life."

Two new songs are up on his MySpace site. No One Knows You're Alive and Mr. Anxiety are said to be two of the more straight-forward rock songs on his new classic rock, punk and metal influenced debut solo album The Evacuation Plan

• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements"
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair

• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

The Silversun Pickups are a post-grunge band hailing from California that features a singer with a very girly voice. Their latest single Lazy Eye is in frequent rotation on Toronto's 102.1 The Edge radio station, and they are a band that has really grown on me. Their 2006 album Carnavas is a great collection of 90s-esque rock songs such as Waste It On and Checkered Floors. The real highlight of this album for me is a fast driving electronic-rock song titled Future Foe Scenarios. Give their album a listen and see what ya think.

The Secret

About a year ago I read a post on an internet forum about a new video called The Secret. Numerous posts about this topic emerged about how it changed peoples lives and how they now see the world differently. I gave in to the hype and watched the video. While it was corny and overproduced, it was pretty powerful and well thought out. The Secret wasn't really a secret. It is about a principle known as the Law of Attraction. It tells us that our thoughts create reality and if we have a lot of negative thoughts, it creates a lot of negative energy thus creating a lot of things that we don't want in our lives.
Since then I had left The Secret alone (not forgotten, just haven't really thought about it). That is until it began popping up everywhere! It has been featured on Oprah a number of times since February, the book is a No 1 seller in North America, and people are starting to ask me if I've heard of it.
It is available in the form of an online video, a dvd, a book or an audiobook. I would recommend it to anyone / everyone that is the least bit curious as to how they might improve any aspect of their lives. But remember, watch it with an open mind.

Jerry Seinfeld at the Cannes

It's been nine years since Seinfeld aired its last episodes, but comedian Jerry Seinfeld is back this year with a new animated movie from Dreamworks titled Bee Movie. Jerry will be playing the voice of a bee. Hahaha, that's awesome. He jumped down from an eight story hotel yesterday (held up by cables of course) in a bee costume to promote the movie. Best of luck to Jerry at the Cannes, it's better than watching another Michael Moore film.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81

Released on May 1st, 2007, Baby 81 is the new album from BRMC. The album as a whole isn't quite as solid as their previous efforts of Howl and their debut album but their first single Weapon of Choice is among my personal favs by this great band. Other highlights of this album include Berlin and 666 Conducer. BRMC will be playing the Kool Haus in Toronto on May 26th (guess who scored a pair of tickets :D

GnR Leaks from May 5th 2007

On May 5th, 2007 there were 4 new Guns N' Roses leaks available on the net. Chinese Democracy, The Blues, IRS and There Was A Time were all released and are slightly different than previous leaks. All are studio quality but are not 100% guaranteed to be the final copy. Since there are still people looking around for these leaks, I thought I'd post a link on here.
