From what I've seen, it may be my new indie crush.<br /><br />It takes place in the 1980's, dealing with young adulthood, identity, responsibility, and Mina Suvari on a pooltable. Michael Chabon is the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312282990/ref=pd_luc_sim_01_01">The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay</a> (Great book. Even Seth Cohen of The OC liked it.) and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812979214/ref=pd_luc_sim_01_03">Wonder Boys</a> (I put the links there so you could buy them. So buy them.), both of which are high quality, nerd-impressing, best sellers.<br /><br />The official synopsis is as follows:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Set in Pittsburgh in the early eighties, the story chronicles the last true summer of Art Bechstein's (JON FOSTER) youth. Stuck in a dead-end job working for his eccentric sometime girlfriend Phlox (MENA SUVARI), and forced into an endless series of airless dinners with his mobster father (NICK NOLTE), Art begins to believe that perhaps he doesn't even exist at all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What begins as a mundane summer is quickly interrupted when he encounters a beautiful debutante (SIENNA MILLER) and her lusty, no good hoodlum of a boyfriend Cleveland (PETER SARSGAARD). Together they reveal a side of Art and Pittsburgh that he has never known.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">As the summer boils on and their adventures darken, Art decides to risk everything to preserve his new-found paradise, and thrusts himself headlong into the blurring boundaries of family, friendship, and love."</span><br /><br /><br />Here's the official trailer:<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HeuEqrvoBP4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HeuEqrvoBP4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />CHECK IT OUT!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0768218/">The Mysteries of Pittsburgh on IMDB</a>Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876173.post-84965638598519495092009-03-24T14:26:00.004-04:002009-03-24T14:36:39.077-04:00ON YOUTUBE<br /><br />When you want to hear, or rip, a song that you just can't see yourself running into anywhere else without paying for it, Youtube has for the past 5 or more years (that's 150 years in internet time) been the go-to guy. But the legal bandwagon started by Viacom has all the higher quality material being taken out behind the shed and shot, leaving nothing but the shitty teenage covers and camera phone live recordings. Those don't make good mp3's (which is obviously the point). So you find yourself searching for your dream track, going several pages in and coming out sticky, but unsatisfied. And then, off to the right side, in related videos, you see it. You see that thing you were looking for, that one song that makes all this work worthwhile. It's attached to a Naruto or Bleach or Inu-Yasha video, but you don't care because the song is sure to be intact and album quality. As you click the link and it starts to load, an angelic chorus rings out, but you can't hear it because you're going to hell for theft and piracy. But for the next 4 minutes...it's worth it.<br /><br />Always go for the AMV (anime music video).Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876173.post-21452846854875654052009-03-24T14:15:00.002-04:002009-03-24T14:19:36.436-04:00P.O.S. - DRUMROLL<br /><br /><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:335326" width="512" height="319" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=artist%3D1802127%26type%3Dnetwork%26vid%3D335326%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A335326%26startUri=mgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A335326" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed><div style="margin:0;text-align:center;width:500px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/pos/artist.jhtml" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">P.O.S.</a> - <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">New Music</a> - <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/video/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">More Music Videos</a></div><br /><br />More P.O.S. in the '09 for all you suckas!

So the story goes that whenever Kanye works with Complex Magazine (pretty often, actually) he insists on having a cover (Isn't that just like him?) and usually one of his own imagination. This time is no different.<br /><br />For the April/May issue of Complex, Mr. West has decided to depict himself as a robot. You know, because he's all futuristic and shit and tends to go off the rails like a Cylon demanding equal pay. So Marc Ecko and company (literally) gave the man what he wanted. There's also an article on the future of Kanye West, the man, the brand. And since its the 7th Anniversary issue, Complex will be dealing with their own bright future as they move into year 8. Most 7 year-olds aren't saying anything I want to hear. But Complex is not most 7 year-olds.<br /><br />In stores...soonish?Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876173.post-42175516290078407182009-03-23T00:14:00.003-04:002009-03-23T00:23:42.219-04:00JAPANESE CARTOON<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/SccM2DuuNeI/AAAAAAAAA2M/sNC_JskP-Y4/s1600-h/japanese+cartoon.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/SccM2DuuNeI/AAAAAAAAA2M/sNC_JskP-Y4/s400/japanese+cartoon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316232007987901922" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Japanese Cartoon is Lupe Fiasco's new project.

Anyone with half a brain can see why his work is so raw, ridiculous, and appealing. Being photographed by Richardson is an honor. That's why I was all set to follow the instructions on his website and request to model for him.<br /><br />Until I saw the word <span style="font-style: italic;">NUDE</span> (It looked just like that, I swear. But in red italics about 18 feet high.). Me, I'm not shy. I'm actually a bit of an exhibitionist these days. But nude photography? Not at this point in my life. Maybe once I leave the gym after several years or bootcamp training. Besides, if it pays, it would only be enough for one session of self-esteem counseling.<br /><br />Maybe in 10 years.<br /><br />Maybe.Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876173.post-53936410004147515052009-03-18T22:26:00.003-04:002009-03-18T22:30:32.638-04:00DAFT TRON<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/ScGuM6oDEnI/AAAAAAAAA1c/tu75OlEilsc/s1600-h/daft-punk-encore-costumes.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/ScGuM6oDEnI/AAAAAAAAA1c/tu75OlEilsc/s400/daft-punk-encore-costumes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314720572192789106" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"French electronica duo Daft Punk has been signed to write the original music score for Tron 2.0, Walt Disney's upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit which was scored by electronic music icon Wendy Carlos.

The film, scheduled for a 2011 release, is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. According to industry news reports, Tron 2.0 will play as the "next chapter" after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film.

But in the process, my tshirts...look damn good.Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876173.post-18616344938468485212009-03-17T00:41:00.003-04:002009-03-17T00:59:21.114-04:00POPGUN<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8q0eAXn6I/AAAAAAAAAzc/yjLawkg9zF8/s1600-h/popgun_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8q0eAXn6I/AAAAAAAAAzc/yjLawkg9zF8/s400/popgun_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314013166216650658" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8q0GfvAtI/AAAAAAAAAzU/Efj4MCBwAXA/s1600-h/popgun_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8q0GfvAtI/AAAAAAAAAzU/Efj4MCBwAXA/s400/popgun_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314013159905755858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8qzwKIwiI/AAAAAAAAAzM/In--ahnxCHU/s1600-h/popgun_3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wAbU_1yH1Kw/Sb8qzwKIwiI/AAAAAAAAAzM/In--ahnxCHU/s400/popgun_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314013153909588514" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I first found out about the Popgun compilations when a friend during a daytrip to Barnes & Noble (yeah, I take those). A friend of mine found the last copy in the store, which I almost stabbed him over. To this day, I haven't read the first two (the third is being released March 29, 2009), but I've had the misfortune of getting tastes of volume 1 on the internet. I don't WANT to torrent it, that's stealing. But I'm slightly amoral, so...no I can't do that.<br /><br />Anyway, Popgun is a series of American indie (technically) comic compilations featuring various authors and artists in the comics industry.<br /><br />It seems worth reading. I think I will.Tervel (pronounced ter-vehl)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09975079456733491913noreply@blogger.com0
