TRAVIS BARKER At Work On Solo Album

                                  For those of you who don’t know who Travis Barker is, he is the drummer for the band Blink 182 but they have taken a break for a while. Ever since Blink 182 has been on hiatus, Travis Barker has been quietly working on his own solo album. The release date for his solo album is unknown at this time and so is the name of the album. What we do know is that hip-hop artists: The Game, Beanie Sigel, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross are expected to be on the album. Here’s w...

                                                        If you haven't been watching Jay Leno's show or keeping up with music news, it was annouced by the Associated Press and the TV show, Extra on the 17th that band leader Kevin Eubanks has a strong interest in separating himself from the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“The Book of Eli” Review

Okay, so have you ever got the feeling that something seems familiar, yet it is different? Well, this describes “The Book of Eli” for me. The latest offering from the Hughes Brothers seems somewhat familiar in certain ways. The post-apocalyptic backdrop which has been done several times (most popularly Mel Gibson’s “Mad Max”), and the “lonely traveler strolls into a corrupt town and trouble ensues” storyline all seem pretty run of the mill right? Wrong, the Hughes Brothers put their own twist on...

New Kick-Ass Trailer

That's right kiddies!! Another Kick-Ass update. This time, Lionsgate released a new red band movie trailer. This is yet another trailer that should not be watched by unaccompanied minors. I really do think this is the way movie trailers should be shown, and not sugar coated. So far from the film clip shown from comic-con 2009 and the several trailers that have been released, this is by far the most exciting of them all. I can't wait until the movie is released, I know it will truly Kick Ass. Enj...

The Tech Museum: Star Trek Exhibition

Going on right now, for a limited time engagement, The Tech Museum in San Jose, Ca is now holding and offering tickets to Star Trek: The Exhibition.

They featured costumes from all the star trek series, and a little background on the designer and why it was designed the way it was. Background in...
