When A Monkey Screams, Scream Back

Crazy Monkey

I have no idea what the context of this photo is, but I just can’t stop laughing at it non the less. It looks like the monkey on the left is yelling “I said sit the hell down or I’m gonna beat the honky out of you!”

It’s going to be that kind of day where I will be listening to really crazy music. And one of my favorites in this category is one of the craziest of all – Screamin’ Jay Hawkins belting out in all of his Voodoo greatness I Put A Spell On You.

Iron Maiden: Flight 666 Movie Teaser

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Iron Maiden, arguably one of the hardest working performers on this Earth, has a documentary coming out this April – Iron Maiden: Flight 666. Film makers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn follow the rockers around the world via the band’s privet tour jet the “Ed Force One”, a Boeing 757 piloted by Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson. The film takes place during the bands 2008 Somewhere Back In Time World Tour. What makes the tour monumental is the fact that Iron Maiden’s “Ed Force One” is a specially customized Boeing 757 airliner that holds their crew and 12 tons of music and stage equipment on board, alowing them to play 23 sold out stadium and arena shows in 13 countries in just 45 days, traveling 50,000 miles and performing to almost half a million fans.

The whole story can be found on Iron Maiden’s site.

Fanboys Opens This Weekend

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

The much anticipated nerd comedy “Fanboys” is hitting selected theaters this Friday (including Philly). For those of you not in the know the film is about the following:

It’s 1998 and Star Wars fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of Episode I. But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows the term “fanboys” is more than just a title, it’s a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies. Traveling West across the country to visit their Mecca – George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch – the plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they’ll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner.

Games Workshop’s Blood Bowl Video Game Trailer

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Games Workshop is coming out with their newest video game release Blood Bowl, which if you’re an old school fan of their table-top games you lovingly remember this one. For those not in the know Blood Bowl was a table-top game that combined elements of Warhammer Fantasy Battle with NFL style football, something nerds like myself have a grand fondness for both. Now after many years they are bringing it to the video game world, and hot damned it look amazingly gore filled fun.

Blood Bowl will be available on most platforms from the looks of it and will hit the streets sometime this year.

Goblin Cock

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

I was reading an article on the Underwire about San Diego’s doom metal meets nerd culture band Goblin Cock, and I think I have a new favorite nerd band.

The group consists of band leader Lord Phallus along with bandmates Bane Ass-Pounder, King Sith, Braindeath and Loki Sinjuggler and their latest release, Come With Me If You Want To Live (referenced from the mover The Terminator), gives you a pretty good idea of where they are coming from.

Below is a video from that release for the single We’ve Got A Bleeder, which is something to be witnessed.

They’re on tour right now and will be hitting Johnny Brenda’s here in Philly on February 10th.

Red King Black Rook

Once in a while I like to help promote friend’s swag ’cause I like what they do, and if you read my blog chances are you’ll like it too. And this is just that kind of post.

The chapbook includes more than 30 ink drawings by Steve and is available in three versions, one of which includes a CD from Hopeful Machines, one of Steve’s musical projects.

Flavor Flav To Take On Crypt Keeper Style Role

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Flavor Flav

Following in the footsteps of one of my favorite rapper-turned-media-whore Snoop Dog, Flavor Flav, my second favorite-rapper-turned-media-whore, is throwing his hat into the world of horror by becoming the host of BET’s move-turned-series Nite Tales. Described as “Tales From the Crypt meets The Twilight Zone“, Flav’s hosting roll will be similar to Tales From the Crypt’s host the Cryptkeeper.

God bless you Flav for never having all of your crazy eggs in one basket.
