Remembering JJ Cale

Check out this awesome concert filmed at the Paradise Studio in Los Angeles back in 1979 of JJ Cale jamming with Leon Russell and remember the greatness of the guitar legend we just lost.

Monks of Mellonwah review

The Monks  of Mellonwah have come pretty far. The Australian band won "Best Indie Rock Band" at the 2012 Artists in Music Awards in 2012 and they have toured some pretty big markets in  the US. One listen to their new EP, "Neurogenesis",  and its easy to hear what the buzz is about. The bands influences seem to range from classic rock, prog and radio friendly 90s alt rock. In less talented hands using those influences as reference points could be a disaster of overblown indulgence. But the Monks are all about taste and restraint. Thick rock riffs that don't bog down the songs, epic choruses that aren't cheesy. post grunge melodies without the posturing and deft musicianship without  self indulgent wanking, The Monks make it look easy and it's not. You can detect traces of the Silversun Pickups and Muse but it's only hints not a rip off. Call it confidence or maturity or whatever you want, but this is an EP from a very focused band.

SUNDAY MORNING MOVIE: Zabriskie Point (1970)

Known by most educated rock fans for its outstanding Pink Floyd-helmed soundtrack, this classic cult film, described by IMDb as "an epic portrait of late Sixties America, as seen through the portrayal of two of its children: anthropology student Daria (who's helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert) and dropout Mark (who's wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot)" is a must watch. Enjoy!

Avengers at NYCC 2011

I waited in in the IGN hall all day for the avengers panel. Sure there were great panels all day worth seeing, but it was the Avengers panel that promised the most bang for my buck. And it didn't disappoint. The panel was packed with the film's stars - Chris "Captain America" Evans, Mark "The Hulk" Ruffalo, Tom "Loki" Hiddleston, Cobie "Maria Hill" Smulders and and fan favorite Clark "Agent Coulson" Gregg. The actors were excited and full of energy and enthusiasm, proving that once again comiccons are the one place where famous actors and fans can geek out together as fans. Having ruffle there was a bit of a surprise for fans and we are as happy to see him as he was to be there. Perhaps the best thing about Ruffalo being there was we got a sneak peak of some footage of Ruffalo as Banner and the Hulk. As Banner he captures the lowliness and isolation of Banner.. as the Hulk .. well.. you'll just have to see the movie.. Although I would to have liked to have see Joss Whedon (he was busy editing the film) and Scarlett Johansson there, the playful banter and genuine good time that the actors and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige were having more than made up for it. This panel was a dream come true for fans. - Brad Filicky
