This week was full of stuff, stuff to make you go "huh?" |
Well this week was sort of blinded by what happened in
The Walking Dead. It put me on a downer, so much so that I spent all
of Wednesday lying on my bathroom floor in a state of shock/inebriation. In the
end the neighbour below me called the police because apparently I was screaming
“Lori!” but I don’t remember.
The second part of this week has been gearing up for
two epic things that are going to happen next week. Firstly Lana Del Rey is
releasing Born To Die, Paradise Edition. Secondly, Deftones are releasing their
seventh studio album, Koi No Yokan, which is Japanese for
the sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall
into love. This excites me greatly. Expect reviews next week.
But firstly, there’s the whole mess of crap that was this week to
sort through. This is what you missed if you too were too fucked-up by TWD to
fully invest in this week.
Also, Obama won, I think.
Brad Battles The Undead
Joining the hordes of bandwagon jumpers that have clambered onto
the popularity of zombies of late, which by the way I predict to be over in
about five months, being replaced with a new trend of mermaid stuff (films,
music, books, TV, human/fish experimentation), was Brad Pitt, whose trailer for
World War Z was released this week. Check it, bitches.
Gaga Goes Gaga For Sandy
 |
New York made me the fierce bitch I am today, said Gaga |
Lady Gaga donated $1m
to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief fund.
The singer explained
that she would be giving the hefty sum to help out her hometown of New York on
her Little Monsters social
networking site.
“Today I pledge 1 million dollars to New York & The American
Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief,” she said. “If it wasn't for NYC: the
Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or
artist that I am today.”
"New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place
where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion. Please accept
this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister
Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for
helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours."
Alan Moore Sings To Support Occupy Movement
Comic book Writer Alan
more, creator of Watchmen and V For Vendetta, which spawned the famous Occupy
symbol of the Guy Fawkes mask, has composed a political song in support of the
Occupy movement.
The song, The Decline of
English Murder, is a ballad that likens the stark economic inequities challenged
by Occupy to the work of a killer. It is released by Occupation Records, the
musical spin-off from the protest
group, which has already collaborated with Radiohead's Thom Yorke and members
of Massive Attack, among others.
It’s deep.
It’s real.
It’s emotional.
It’s a little bit The Streets.
“English murder is all over her face”
Moore, 58, is one of the most famous names in modern comics. The
bulk of his titles, which include Watchmen
From Hell
and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the bulk of which, have been
made into Hollywood films of varying quality, many of them in turn disowned by
the irascible writer.
