John Mayer Has A Number One Album, 50 Cent Could Do Better
Posted in Music on Nov 26th, 2009
Considering that 50 Cent has a new book and cologne out right now, while seemingly appearing on every talk show possible AND turning up to the New Moon premiere, he’s got to be a little mad that his new album, Before I Self Destruct, only sold 160,000 copies. Still, that’s what happens when you hype [...]
That’s right – everyone’s favourite pop/punk/emo band who seem to be dominating the alternative scene at the moment with their new album Brand New Eyes, have announced two New Zealand shows scheduled for next March. No word yet on whether Hayley Williams will rock the red, orange or blonde hair for the event or if [...]
The Lovely Bones Opens To Bad Reviews
Posted in Movies on Nov 25th, 2009
The Lovely Bones comes out in New Zealand in three weeks but yesterday it premiered in London to a two-star review from The Guardian. The problem? Reviewer Xan Brooks says that Peter Jackson “leaves the murder unseen and the rape unmentioned.” The book, written by Alice Sebold, is a story of a raped and murdered [...]
Bad/good news, I dunno. Announced today was the news that Owl City will be supporting Cobra Starship for their Auckland show on Friday March 12. Owl City a.k.a Adam Young has been sitting at number three in the New Zealand top 40 singles chart for two weeks now and his debut album Ocean Eyes just [...]
And The Winner of Australian Idol Is…
Posted in Music on Nov 24th, 2009
In Australian Idol news, it’s finally over. Awesome. In other Australian Idol news, some guy named Stan Walker won the competition on Sunday and boom, an album is already in the works and due out December 11. Guess it just goes to show how short our attention spans are these days. ALSO, Stan Walker is [...]
New Moon Has The Third Biggest Opening Weekend Of All Time, Takes Home $258.8 million
Posted in Movies on Nov 24th, 2009
For those of you that underestimated the power of the Twilight franchise (I just chose to ignore it, it’s different), then the news that New Moon had the third biggest opening weekend of all time may come as a surprise. The film sold $140.7 million worth of tickets in the US alone and the worldwide [...]
Watch The New Paramore Video for “Brick By Boring Brick”
Posted in Music on Nov 24th, 2009
There’s going to be a huge announcement Thursday morning regarding these guys so I guess this video has dropped just in time. Brick By Boring Brick is one of the stand out tracks from Paramore’s latest album Brand New Eyes. Also, Hayley Williams as a blonde? Not bad. Watch the video right here. //
Good news – the series of I Love The Islands concerts held in Auckland, Wellington, New Plymouth, Christchurch and Dunedin, have raised $344,000. The concert series took place last month to aid the victims of the Samoan tsunami which damaged many of the local villages. Some of the artists that performed included Scribe, Savage, Neil [...]
C4′s ‘The Non-Stop Gig’ Might Not Be Such A Great Idea
Posted in Music on Nov 23rd, 2009
C4 has teamed up with Telecom to present a concert that will feature some of New Zealand’s finest artists and will stream live over the internet. The only problem is that ‘The Non-Stop Gig’ will only be available to watch via the internet and will take place at a secret location so there is no [...]
