New location

I don't know that anyone's still reading this thing, but in any case, I've moved the blog to Wordpress.

Harper's Island

CBS's thriller "Harper's Island" moved to its new time tonight at 8 p.m. central, quite possibly to gain more viewers.

The mini-series has only aired four episodes, but I still only know three of the characters and hadn't made a point to remember them until tonight's episode.

Intially, I thought it would be an interesting mystery, but only in that "I know this isn't going to be particularly good and definitely not scary" kind of way.

I usually don't mind watching these kind of things, despite my low expectations of them. Most things labeled "horror" or "thriller" generally aren't too good anyway. The last mini-series I watched was ABC's "Kingdom Hospital" - don't get me started on the ending.

"Harper's Island" - from what I can tell - is basically about the wedding (and days leading to) of Henry and Trish. It takes place on Harper's Island where some people, including the main character (I guess you could call her that) Abby's mom, were hanged from trees.

Abby moved away to LA after the deaths (don't they all), and surprised everyone by returning for her best friend Henry's wedding, whom she seems to have more-than-best-friend feelings for. The freak murderer was thought to be dead but is alive and still killing people, and won't stop until he has Abby.

I think most of the murder plot was shown in the second episode, which I seemed to miss chunks of. I can't decide if it's even worth watching online to catch up.

The storyline is kind of slow and tends to focus more on the inner dramas of the wedding party, but, needless to say, I'll keep watching it to - if nothing else - find out what happens at the end, or at least listen to the background music, hoping for more The Kooks and Kaiser Chiefs like in past episodes.

The Killers Ready To Take Down Zeppelin and Nirvana

The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers told NME he's ready to knock bands like Led Zeppelin and Nirvana off of their pedestals.

The Las Vegas four-piece has been better accepted in the UK than their homeland, Flowers said. In the US, people are "still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana."

"There are a lot of great bands that have been confined by the infuence of these people that we've put up on pedestals," he said. "I'm tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don't like that attitude."

The band wants to grow to be better performers and hope to top their previous gigs with their upcoming festival performances, he said.

And while the new songs they've written so far may not make the studio cut, Flowers says they still have more powerful choruses for their fourth album.

"I don't want to say too much, but we've got a couple bangers in the can!"

New Twitter Search

Twitter added a search bar in the right-hand column of user accounts, as well as recent popular searches.

'Icky Muck' Sticks in Head

Muck Sticky's song "The Icky Muck" is one of the most annoyingly catchy songs, and has been stuck in my head all day.

A few days ago I saw it on MTV's morning segment of music videos (the only time they ever play them, I think). The song is just so ridiculous and cringe-worthy, but the audience in the video seems to eat it up.

I'll admit I do like the line "Throw your hands up in the air/ Let me see you dancin' like Fred Astaire" simply because it's better than "Throw your hands in the air/ Wave 'em like you just don't care."

But I definitely would not miss this song if it just disappeared now.

Bonnaroo Additions

More artists were added to the Bonnaroo lineup, including Ben Solee, Justin Townes Earle, Cotton Jones, Phoenix, The Features, and more.

I wonder what the chances are that Kings of Leon will be added later (wink, wink).

'Slumdog' Kids Still Stuck in Slums

"Slumdog Millionaire" child actors Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed are still stuck in real-life slums, living in shacks along with rats and scorpions, despite having starred in an Oscar-winning movie.

First, Rubina's dad tried to sell her, saying that the family hadn't received anything from the "Slumdog" film.

But the filmmakers say they've been helping and have even created trusts for the two child actors, in addition to donating $747,500 to a charity to help other kids in Mumbai.

The families have reportedly been shown several new homes, but rejected them because they were too far from where they are currently living.

So, is this really an issue of these child actors and their families not having a Hollywood ending? And, should the filmmakers even be responsible for their well-being?

Sure, it would be bad to make a film depicting the slums in Mumbai and doing nothing to help the living conditions of those in real-life slums. But, to what extent should these filmmakers assist?

The Horrors' New Video

British quintent The Horrors have release their newest single "Who Can Say" from their upcoming second album Primary Colours.

The video kind of reminds me of Sid Vicious's rendition of "My Way," which is probably just because there's a stage, and frontman Faris "Rotter" Badwan is wearing a white coat and black pants.

Anyway, this new video continues where the first single "Sea Within A Sea" left off. I'm really intrigued to hear what the rest of the album sounds like (although, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to listen to the record's stream on the band's site).

I like their first album, Strange House, but based on the current singles and record reviews, the two albums are almost incomparable. The Horrors seem to have ditched the organ sounds and adopted more synth instrumentation.

Badwan said the band didn't want to repeat the first record, and it appears they got what they wanted.

Daisy of Love

VH1's show about seasonal romance "Daisy of Love" premiered tonight, featuring "Rock of Love 2" reject Daisy de la Hoya.

As with all the other "love" shows on VH1, Daisy's love quest isn't any different. In fact, it's almost like watching another "Rock of Love," but this time Bret Michaels has implants and lip injections.

New Moon

Entertainment Tonight's third segment of behind-the-scenes look at "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon," reveals three not-so-secret things about the film.

1. More Edward - Duh. With the Edward mania that's been going on since the first movie, it's only obvious that the filmmakers would put Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward, in the film more than he actually appears in the book.

2. Edward shows a darker side - Of course, because he left Bella to keep her safe, but she puts herself in more danger without him.

3. There's a love triangle - C'mon.

Anyone who's bothered to read the books, or even looked up synopses online, should know all of these "secrets." And, the only people really watching these ET installments, or even care, are people who already know about the series.
