FYI : JUNO is out on Digital Video Discus (DVD)

So, Juno is out on the DVD. So you can buy it from the store. I saw it at Walmart, they have one version with just the movie, and another version with a ‘music CD’ included. For a difference of 5 bucks. Although if you do decide to purchase said film, I’d recommend that you do it through some other retailer, namely, ME, or Amazon. Which is the same thing.

Check it, yo.

Juno on De Ve De | Soundtrack, duh

GUESS WHAT, BITCHES? I HAVEN’T EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE!

But if you ever seen Hard Candy, maybe you’ll know why I’m not sure if I want to see Ellen Page in another movie. She’s a scary ballbuster. I don’t know how she gets laid, maybe the red carpet does it for her. Props, Ellen.

Whoop whoop.

[youtube FeqqHjyWWtI] Okay, I had written a post regarding an incident involving The Moldy Peaches, but forgot the part of the story that’s hip and current and, frankly, more awesome. Also the writing was atrocious. Basically, “Who’s Got the Crack” came up on shuffle, we tried to figure out where I knew the song from (it’d come up on shuffle before is all), looked things up and discovered two things: (1) Our man Jack from Only Son used to be in Moldy Peaches and (2) a Moldy Peaches song is performed in the film Juno. So now you get to hear two Moldy Peaches songs, and watch a video of Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) and Ellen Page singing “Anyone Else But You.” It may just be a trailer for Juno, but it’s got the song in it. Which is rad. Also interesting is the role reversal of having Michael sing Kimya’s part and Ellen sing Adam’s part. Only Son Website // MySpace Moldy Peaches YouTube It (0)

Walking In the Air - Aled Jones (from The Snowman)

I grew up in England, being as I’m British and all, and only am in America because we had to move here. At Christmas time, we had our many rituals and traditions, some of which we’ve lost by coming over here. Among them were Christmas pudding, Christmas crackers (with hats and toys inside, at dinner time), and watching ‘The Snowman’.

Based on a book by Raymond Briggs written in 1978, the film was released in 1982 on the U.K.’s Channel 4. It was an instant hit, and ever since has been shown every Christmas. It has become an important part of British and International Christmas culture.

Blah blah. I effing love this movie, I remember begging my mum to watch it all throughout the year. Its a silent film, scored by Howard Blake and features the song he also wrote called ‘Walking In the Air’, sung by Aled Jones for the film. Recently, ‘Walking In the Air’ was performed by Chloe Agnew, one of the singers of Celtic Woman.

This post has the mp3 of the song, and the youtube full version of the film.

For anyone who wants to buy this as a gift, or just enjoy it on Christmas, its available on DVD on Amazon for only $8.99. Can’t beat that. And Two-Day Shipping is 7 bucks. Totally worth it.

Bob Dylan // I’m Not There Soundtrack and Film, Cate Blanchett is Hawt

I’ve discovered a kickass post over at Music For Ants on a brush up with Bob Dylan, which led me to dig up some information on the new Dylan movie, which is called I’m Not There. OMFG.

First of all, the Music for Ants post: http://musicforants.com/blog/?p=571

Secondly, the trailer:

Thirdly, the hot Cate Blanchett:

Can I hear an OMFG? Well, I would, if you said that. In the trailer shes amazing, so I imagine she knocks socks off in the movie. And the soundtrack! TWO DISCS full of Dylan covers from Surfjan Stevens, Calexico, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, and Iron and Wine. Did I mention Eddie Vedder? Yes, Damon, I did.

Soundtracks out, movies not. Let us know what you think of the film when you see it!

And heres a completely unrelated mp3:

Meeting People Is Easy: A Film by Grant Gee about Radiohead

Meeting People Is Easy // A Film by Grant Gee about Radiohead

Second part of my Radiohead final fix [until the new disc drops sometime in this young year] is a film that followed Radiohead around while they were touring in promotion of OK Computer. It is, by no means, a typical "follow a big rock group around and partake in their hijinks" film. But then, Radiohead aren't a typical hijinksy rock band. What you get here is Thom Yorke looking really bored during some dull interviews and really, really, really bored during "Creep." You get to see Colin speak French. You get to hear a lot of b-sides ["Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" and two remixes of "Climbing up the Walls"] and then-unreleased songs ["How to Disappear Completely (and Not be Seen)" and "Life in a Glass House" ended up on Kid A and Amnesiac respectively]. You get several really good live bits. And you get a glimpse of the dull side of writing an album so worthy of my praise. At first the film may seem slow and incoherent and dreary, but I think that's the point. I feel it gives a great impression of what it must be like for those poor boys from Oxford. The inane interview questions, the blur of one city after another, the hype over "Creep." I must say that this is one of the few band documentary/concert DVDs that doesn't inspire me to pick up my guitar and follow my dreams of rockstardom. If you want that, check out Pearl Jam's Touring Band 2000 or Weezer's Video Capture Device . You might want to check those out anyway. But no, what this film made me aspire to is music journalism. Just so I can ask reasonable questions and not be another moron comparing the band to Pink Floyd and asking how they fit into the BritPop scene.
