NEW! MUST LISTEN TO! Fall Out Boy Vid

I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and I apologise for not putting anything on here for a while now but I'm just getting over a bug which pretty much killed my enjoyment of Christmas and New Year...I felt so sad that there was all this chocolate around and I couldn't eat any of it so I guess it did make it easier to keep my New Years Resolution of stop eating soooo much chocolate as I am a self confessed chocoholic...silver linings eh!

Anyhew...so this is a bit of a catch up blog post for me. If you are like me and are a massive fan of Fall Out Boy and haven't seen the NEW! video for their NEW! single "Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)" you definitely need to give it a listen, here is the link for this on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH-by1ydBTM

I have to be honest but although I love this band I hate to say this but in my opinion this track sounds very different to "Hold Me Tight Or Don't" and it doesn't seem to get stuck in my head as much as this song or "Last Of The Real Ones" or "Champion", and although I have now downloaded this track because why wouldn't you download any of Fall Out Boy's tracks I'm not really when I've listened to either "Hold Me Tight Or Don't" or any of their other NEW! singles automatically thinking let's listen to "Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)". The one thing though I do keep getting stuck in my head though is the lyric "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour" because this may be me but I start to think if they did do a darker colour than black what would that be and what would that look like.

I just thought that this may sound like I'm saying that although I don't like this song as much as the other songs from their NEW! album MANIA which had it's album release date pushed back to January 19th but I've still downloaded the song anyway and I can bet that you think that sounds a bit hypocritical and so if this is the case why on earth would you download this song, but I've got to have something good to listen to while I'm working and when I'm out and about!

Anyhew...if you haven't seen the video for "Hold Me Tight Or Don't" here is the link to it on YouTube:

I'm loving this single at the moment it always seems to be getting stuck in my head lately which is great and I think at this point I've probably worn out the repeat button on Youtube and I can't seem to stop wanting to dance along to this track when I listen to it. Here is also the link on YouTube of Fall Out Boy's "Champion" and "The Last Of The Real Ones":

"Blade Runner 2049" Release Date!

Finally! After already pre-ordering this film and having to wait what seemed like aaaaaaaaaaages I have finally just got an e-mail from Amazon.com's website saying when this will be released on to DVD and this is:

Drum roll please!

February 5th 2018.

Oooh! this to my mind has just missed out on what I would think was the ideal release time for it on DVD,-Christmas-, as I would have thought that if it came out around now when other people are bringing out comedy DVD's, CD's, TV show DVD's all adding to the various number of people's Christmas lists.

Well this date has been well and truly seared into my brain now that I know this and I can't contain my excitement.

I have to be honest when I first heard that there was going to be a new "Blade Runner" film released with Ridley Scott and starring Jared Leto, Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, I instantly felt like "oh god, not another "Blade Runner" can't they just let this die with dignity like the "Alien" films"? but I also felt like if you were going to release a new one of these why wouldn't you involve Ridley Scott as he did create this film as well as the characters involved in this film.

So it's safe to say when I first saw this film advertised on YouTube and on the TV I wasn't immediately grabbed or interested in going to see this film at the cinema...but on the other hand I did really want to go and see this at my local cinema as Jared Leto was starring in this film as I am a massive fan of his movies and the band 30 Seconds To Mars.

But after I saw this "short" that was directed by Luke Scott on YouTube I think it's fair to say I had changed my opinion on this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgsS3nhRRzQ

If your like me and haven't seen the first film then I urge you to see the first one now as this might help get you to understand what is going on in this story as the events in this New! "Blade Runner 2049" take place 30 years after the first films events...but if you haven't seen it yet I'll fill in the blanks for you:

In the future Harrison Ford plays Rick Deckard who used to work in the police force but now tracks down Replicants as a "Blade Runner",-these are bioengineered with synthetic skin and only live for 4 years to stop them from learning too many things i.e emotions and therefore its for safety that they only live for 4 years and the only way to spot a Replicant is by using the Voight-Kapff test to provoke a emotional response,- but as there is a law that says all Replicants have to live in the other world territories and if a Replicant comes to Earth the penalty is death he is out of work until he gets called in by the police telling him 4 Replicants have killed everyone on board a ship bound for the other world territories and are heading for Earth he needs to find them and stop them, but he finds out that the only reason they have come to Earth is to find Niander Wallace who had made them because one of them wanted to know how they could prolong their girlfriends life, but once these replicants find out from Niander Wallace himself that they've tried everything to do this but failed as every Replicant died in the process he gets killed by the Replicants...and he also finds a girlfriend himself in Niander Wallace's secretary "Rachel" who is a special kind of Replicant with an unknown amount of lifespan that he runs away with at the end of the film to avoid being arrested and for her to avoid being found out as a Replicant.

Ok I admit it, me and my sisters sat down straight away when we first heard there was going to be a NEW! "Blade Runner 2049" to see the first film to see what it was all about as we had never seen it.

New! Must Listen To Music Alert!: Music From Stevie Wolf has just dropped

I heard the other day to my delight when I was on Facebook that Stevie Wolf was going to be releasing some NEW! music...and thank god that this dropped onto the Internet before last Thursday as I am a massive fan of this guy and having to wait to listen to this new music was killing me, and as I am a massive fan of all of his songs so as you can imagine I was so excited I just couldn't contain myself...I was jumping around like Christmas had come early.

So of course I just had to listen to this and download this song "Who" and if you haven't heard this yet here is the link below:

https://soundcloud.com/steviewolf/who

And if you haven't downloaded this yet you have to...if you haven't downloaded it yet go to Spotify, ITunes, apple music and Amazon Digital Music. I have to say that like all Stevie Wolf's other songs it is getting stuck rather annoyingly,-is it such a bad thing when the song is soooo good,- in my head all the time and it is taking ages to get it out.

If you haven't heard of any of Stevie Wolf's music before why the hell not?! I urge you now if you haven't heard any of his music before stop whatever your doing right now and download it now!, here is the link to hear some of these songs on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MoOSEJzftg

This is his amazing cover of Blink 182's "Dammit"...I have to say that every time I listen to Blink 182's version of this song it's really hard for me to not stop thinking of this version as this is soooo good and I am a massive fan of Blink 182 and I'm always a little bit sceptical when it comes to someone doing a cover of an amazing song like this that is such a classic and that everybody knows but I love this cover and like every other Stevie Wolf song I've heard I can't stop dancing along to it and then thinking when the song has finished "Oh is that it? Is the song finished? That came a bit quick, let's play it again".

And here is the link on The Indie Folkx's channel to "Getting Through":

And here is the link to The Alternative Way's YouTube channel:

This is Stevie Wolf's incredibly catchy song "Flight's".






Hold The Bus! No Sam Mendes to direct the next Bond film Christopher Nolan might direct?

I saw a headline last night on the internet saying "Christopher Nolan fan favourite to reboot James Bond" and I know that I've not been blogging on here for a while but I didn't realise that Sam Mendes wasn't coming back to direct Bond 25.

Anyhew...I have just read on The Express's website that according to Barbara Broccoli one of the producers of the James Bond film franchise has said that:

"We've got our Daniel; we've got we've got to find our director. We've got to find the director. We're working on the script and we'll see...Hopefully by the beginning of the year we'll have more news on all those fronts."

So this as you can imagine has started up a whole new rumour mill among James Bond fans who is going to get this...and according to this same website the top of this list is Christopher Nolan and also according to Archivo 007's website:

"On this occasion, two different sources, one from the United States and the other from the United Kingdom ...tell us Nolan will be the director and that he is already working on the film."

This website goes on to say that:

"These solid sources foresee that the official announcement can be made in January or February 2018".

I have to be honest as a James Bond fan myself that as soon as I read this news my first thought was that this definitely must mean that Tom Hardy is going to be involved in this next James Bond film in some capacity either Bond himself or as an interesting idea from the Express's website a villain.

This next Bond film is set to be released in the UK in November 2019.

But in another article published on The Express's website Christopher Nolan has said about the possibility of directing a James Bond film to Playboy Magazine:

"Maybe one day that would work out. You'd have to be needed, if you what I mean. It has to need reinvention; it has to need you".

So this sounds like to me that if Christopher Nolan were to direct a James Bond film one day then he might have a go at rebooting the franchise...and The Express's website has as you can already imagine started thinking of the ways that Christopher Nolan can reboot this franchise.

One of their imagining's is that Christopher Nolan could take the franchise back to the original period which the author Ian Fleming set his books which were set between May 1951 and February 1964.

And of course they've suggested that Tom Hardy could be the shoes once Daniel Craig finishes his turn in this franchise, or Christopher Nolan could make James Bond a woman or that he could keep the franchise still in the present as  Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and co. have made since Daniel Craig was cast in the role as James Bond.

Fear not "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" fans the "Millenium" series is getting a new film

God...this feels like I'm having to shake off the dust of this blog as I know I haven't been on here for aaaaaaaaages you can thank this bloody flu of mine that really hasn't wanted to leave.

Anyhew...I was just reading on Collider.com's website that David Lagercrantz who has carried on the "Millenium" series of books that were written by Stieg Larssen until his death in 2004 of a heart attack that featured the adventurers of Lisbeth Salander that was played by Noomi Rapace, a very gifted computer hacker that if you've not seen the films,-I don't know why you wouldn't have as these films were massive but the less said about the English reboot the better in my opinion, that starred Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig as I really don't know why after the first set of Swedish speaking films you'd redo the film as they were so good,- who is an orphan and a ward of the state but is sent to a psychiatric hospital and is abused but she has money that is controlled by her guardian that years after she is released from the hospital doesn't allow her to use her money to pay for a new laptop and in the first film "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" along with controversial investigative journalist Mikhael Blomkvist who was played by Michael Nyqvist who runs "Millennium Magazine" find out what happened to a girl who disappeared years ago and Lisbeth also takes her money and runs but later takes her guardian to court using footage of him abusing her that she took herself from a hidden camera will have this series of books continued with the latest addition to the "Millennium" book series "The Girl In The Spider's Web" that was written by David Lagencrantz being planned to be adapted by Sony and production for this is already according to this article on Collider.com's website set to start in Berlin and Stockholm in January and is also according to this same article has a release date already pencilled in for October 19th 2018.

Holy Shit look at these NEW! music videos that have just dropped!

I apologise for not posting anything on here sooner but I've been struck down with flu and this time it's been feeling like it doesn't want to leave.

Anyhew...I was just perusing the internet this morning and thank god there's some NEW! music videos that have dropped that can cheer me up especially the NEW! music video for 30 Seconds To Mars Video "Walk On Water" #Soon. Although like many other 30 Seconds To Mars hearing #Soon is driving me mad as I really want to know when the new album will be coming out.

Here's the link on YouTube for you to take a little look at to see what you think:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44NYFvhXmW8

I have to say that it's amazing to think that over 1,000 people sent some kind of footage in to contribute to this project of theirs "A Day In The Life Of America".

Also I was perusing Facebook and I saw that the NEW! music video for Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" has just dropped, here is the YouTube link for you to have a look at it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vv-BfVoq4g

I have to say this definitely looks like Ed Sheeran is getting into the Christmas spirit with making snow angels and skiing...I had to laugh when I saw in the video the block of wood with the shot glasses on because I've never seen anything like that before. I was just thinking the viewing of this new music video and this might make the number of downloads and streaming go up as well so that's probably going to get the Sheeran machine lots and lots more money....I just thought this along with the John Lewis Christmas advert will probably be the most streamed video on YouTube this year.

I also saw this whilst perusing Twitter yesterday:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asNH0-jjcpA

This is the new trailer for the new album "The Beautiful and The Damned" from G-Easy that I have to say looks really good, I can't wait to hear these songs especially this one that is used in this trailer featuring Halsey it sounds really good to me "Him and I".  Here is a YouTube link to "The Plan" that was put on YouTube yesterday...I just thought though why on earth do people put in their music videos girls in skimpy bikinis or underwear twearking when it has nothing to do with promoting the song what so ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujyTQNNjjDU

And now I've just seen the NEW! music video from Macklemore "Over It ft. Donna Missal" I can't get this out of my head...which is no bad thing as this I have to say since I bought the new album "Gemini" has to be one of my favourite stand out tracks from the album that I keep playing on repeat along with "Marmalade", "Intentions", "Glorious"...now that I think about it this list could go on for ever as I have all the tracks from this NEW! album on repeat.

I have to say I already thought that Donna Missal sounded like she had an amazing voice on this track but looking at this music video it really shows that she has a bloody amazing sounding voice.

Here is the YouTube link to see this NEW! music video:

NEW! Evanescence video for "Imperfection"

You may or may not know but Evanescence is going on tour and are releasing a NEW! Album "Synthesis" which is out in November and I have just seen whilst perusing YouTube.com's website Evanescence have now put up on their VEVO page a NEW! official video for this song.

If you haven't heard this song yet...why not? Anyhew... here is the link to see what you think to the official music video for "Imperfection":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_XoKJP1XK4

I have to be honest with the big piano instrumental intro to this song I nearly missed the video but after this build up I have to say that this to me does sound very much like a Bond theme with its dramatic sound.

And I do like the watercolour effect in this video but (and I don't mean to course any offense when I say this) but I hope this is just an initial video as I don't get it with the little girl and the crown of thorns that she wears in the video.
