You Think Mighty Mouse Could Beat Up Superman?
Several emails have come our way since about the lack of updates. We are working on several projects this week and have not been able to post. Aeki Tuesday will be back in full mode on Monday . In the meantime, we've compiled a nice list of things to click/listen until then.
Seattle Weekly on M.I.A. [via Largehearted Boy]
Ted Leo covers Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone.
Stream Matt Pond PA's "Champagne Supernova" from Music from The OC Mix #4 - WM | QT
Be sure to catch the OC tonight. Five new tunes from Beck's Guero. In fact, Beck will be the only music artist featured tonight. He does a cover of Daniel Johnston's 'True Love Will Find You in the End.' The other tracks that will be played during the hour-long teen drama are: "Que Onda Guero," "Missing," "Girl," first single "E-Pro" and "Scarecrow."
The Josh Schwartz dubbed Beckpisode seem to be a marketing trend for artists to preview songs on a show before an album release. U2 dismantled itself on CSI, SNL and the OC before the release of 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.' At the end of the special Beckpisode, you can watch the full-length trailer for the final Star Wars movie, Revenge Of The Sith. The trailer will feature over two minutes of space battles and Wookiee riots from the film.
The O.C.: Mix 4 is set for an April 5th release. The tracks on The O.C.: Mix 4 are as follows:
People heading to SXSW might want to RSVP to this listening Party for
Gorillaz & DJ Danger Mouse (w/ rumored guest appearance by MF
Doom) at SXSW. RSVP here. Oh My Rockness has created a list of everything (and we mean everything including parties and after parties) you need to know if you are going to SXSW.
Rosie O'Donnell has a blog. Jessica Gawker was quoted in today's NY Times describing Rosie's writing style.For some reason, Rosie's blog is now redirecting itself to her RSS feed. Fixed.]
Another celebrity blogger, Wil Wheaton was also featured in today's NY Times. Wil has a guest appearance on tonight's episode of CSI and has written a memoir of sorts called "Just a Geek."
Last Monday, we attended a show at the Mercury Lounge where the California-based band Ringside performed. Ringside is comprised of Scott Thomas on guitar and Balt the Beat Master on synthesizer.
New Yorkers got their taste of Ringside with their pop melodies and rock riffs. The singer reminded us of David Gray on some songs. Ringside's execution was very lush and pulsating. We would not liken this band as playing cinematic-esque music but they did produced some great sounds on that small Mercury Lounge stage. You're going to be hearing about them in the next couple of months.
The release date for the Ringside self-titled album in now confirmed for April 19th. Their website provides some clips of some new songs off the upcoming album here. Ringside's 'Strangerman' was featured on Episode 10 - "The Accomplice" of the OC. It's the one where Mischa Barton can't act. Wow, this post is turning very OC-centric. Sorry.
DJ Earworm has an intensive list of Mash-ups on his site. Here are a few favorites:

Rosie O'Donnell has a blog. Jessica Gawker was quoted in today's NY Times describing Rosie's writing style.
"I don't know if she is doing some form of haiku or a terrible Faulkner imitation, but I'm not surprised she is doing it," Ms. Coen said, noting that celebrities as diverse as the rocker Fred Durst and the occasional actress Barbra Streisand have penned blogs. It is really kind of cool that she and others want to speak to the public without the precautions of their publicists."Her writing did throw us off a bit and it is physically draining to go through her three months worth of posts.
