Its just like the Peanutbutter Jelly song only has nothing to do with ice cream or cake, is 10x cooler and involves dogs humping things. Thats called high brow humor folks.
Finally a museum exhibit you might want to check out if you're in NYC. The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) will be soon opening a retrospective showcase of Tim Burton’s iconic work within its walls. Seen here is a preview of whats in store as well as a description of the exhibition, running through April 26th, 2010, courtesy of the MOMA.
Following the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons.
An opening is scheduled for Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 with further information available here.
In Italy 2005, Nikki Dick sought out to form a band in the spirit of 80s hair metal. Four years later, Cream Pie has relocated to Florida and is melting faces in the name of GnR, Skid Row, Crue, LA Guns, W.A.S.P. and every other sleeze rock/hair band that we love. The band's debut album Dirty Job was released in 2008, and the band continues to tour, and has discovered a great deal of success on myspace. We caught up with Nikki (guitar), Phantom (guitar), and Brian Kent (drums) . . .
FROMAN: What are your feelings on the music industry today?
Nikki: It's kinda a jungle. There are thousands bands and artists playin' all kinds of music and ready to sell their asses to even do something bigger.
Brian: I totally agree with Nikki, there are lots of bands in the music industry, and the majority of these bands are very ridiculous.
FROMAN: Who are your biggest musical influences?
Nikki: Personally the street metal of the 80's (Guns N' Roses majorly), Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Sex Pistols...and I love Chinese Democracy.
Phantom: 80s street rock and glam metal, but also punk rock and a bit of thrash metal and visual kei.
Brian: I'm influenced by bands like Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Kiss, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Def Leppard, AC/DC, L.A. Guns, Cinderella, Skid Row, Whitesnake, Hanoi Rocks, W.A.S.P., Ramones.
FROMAN: What's different about your music that makes it worth listening to?
Nikki: Oh man, I don't know... let me think... the energy, the attitude and the songs' quality I guess.
Phantom: We take it seriously!!
Brian: The rage and the spontaneity of our songs.
FROMAN: What's the worst thing that's ever happened during a live performance?
Nikki: The sound on stage is messed up almost everytime thanks to the genius soundguys that we find in the clubs.
Phantom: The drums wasn't there! hahah
FROMAN: You guys know in America, a cream pie refers to a vagina that's had a load of semen shot into it.(And note, semen ON a vagina is NOT a cream pie. Cream pies have cream on the INSIDE. A vagina that merely has semen ON it is just a messy vagina). Is this what you guys were going for when naming the band? I mean, pie is american, why not go for canoli?
Nikki: Actually canoli is an american word too. The italian one is "cannuoli". And anyway it would sound really bad. So yeah, let's think about the messy vagina and keep it like Cream Pie.
FROMAN: The music scene desperately needs more hard rockin, adrenaline powered, pussy smashing rock music. For those who don't know about Cream Pie, what will one see and hear at a Cream Pie concert?
Nikki: Surely a very good show, a lot of guitar playin', a lot of screamin', a powerful drumming, some throbbing basslines, a lot of energy, attitude, and much much fun.
Phantom: and some naked Italian guys!
Brian: Our shows are totally crazy, nobody knows what can really happen.
FROMAN: You guys were inspired by the hair metal scene. What's your all-star hair band if you could create one? Who plays what?
Nikki: I'd just leave the bands like they were, everyone was perfect in their own time. Don't make me fuck things up and create some kind of monster!
Brian: It's very easy: Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, anything else?
FROMAN: Who gets the most pussy in the band?
Phantom: Brian, absolutely, then me! hahaha
Brian: I really don't know, we don't count the pussy we get.
FROMAN: What the major differences between Italian and American groupies?
Brian: There are no differences for me, the pussy is always the pussy!!!
Phantom: Italian groupies don't exist, those girls just want to fuck someone at the show...which is good!!
Despite its unoriginal chorus of "Wu Tang!" this new effort from two of my favorite members is pretty awesome and the video, although unspectacular, has a weird nod to Jim Jaramusch's Limits of Control (Google it). Thankfully, WT is working hard lately... hip hop needs it.
In the future, no one will be able to see 2 feet in front of their face because of rediculously useless but mandatroy fashion helmets. No one said the future would be bright...
This cliche'd drunk broad was going to wreck this wedding one way or another. If it wasn't banging the groom (notice the death stares the bride gives her) then it was going to be puking on someone/somthing or taking the whole reception tent down in one drunken sweep. She just happens to choose the latter.
Yes, it's a glorified kids movie, but this kids movie could be the best film released of '09 and at the very least it's in the top 5. In short it's got everything you want: great music, great cast, a very unique look, Wes Anderson's trade mark quirkiness without the pretentiousness, consistently laugh out loud funny scenes, perfect length at an hour and a half and an overall great time which is so rare in movies now. You could go see Precious, the movie everyone is talking about, ball your eyes out and be depressed for the rest of the night or you could go see Fantastic Mr. Fox and walk out grinning ear to ear and feel like a million bucks. Its really that easy...
