Gaga In Wonderland Mock Trailer

Hey Everyone!

I found this while bored and browsing Perez Hilton... yes, I admit I DO read Perez when I have nothing else to do... like now, since I'm sick in bed. But I came across this mock Alice In Wonderland trailer starring Lady Gaga and man, I have to admit this would make one CRAZY movie. Check it out below!

What do you think? Nice editing work on behalf of the creators Black20 Studios.

AMAZING JOB.

Avril In Wonderland... And Its Pretty Bad

Hey Everyone!

So I was aimlessly clicking away on youtube last night as I sometimes like to do, and I stumbled upon this gem here. This is Canadian "singer" Avril Lavigne's addition to the Alice In Wonderland soundtrack, "Almost Alice"... and yeah, I have to say I am not impressed. Musically, the darker tones seem somewhat fitting of the film, but the lyrics... my god, really? I think they broke into the journal of a fourteen year old girl and transcribed it to music. Every stanza rhymes perfectly with the next one- and not in a good way haha. I just find theres a huge lack of creativity which I suppose isnt new for her. To her fans, I'm sorry but this is how I feel about it and nothing more.

The video shows Avril falling down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Shes in some weird mall goth black wedding dress, and I'm pretty sure her eye color is being enhanced by something technological or by contacts. She runs around the woods and finds the Mad Hatter, and rudely departs from the party with some yelling about taking a stand (anyone know for what exactly?). Then we have some clips from the movie, and Avril eventually finding her way out of Wonderland as the song comes to an end.

Now, I have to wonder why she is even featured on this soundtrack. What has she done lately? Nothing... well, she got a divorce. Thats about it. I was a fan when I was a kid, I'll admit it. When Complicated first came out, I thought- man, thats cool. A chick rocking a guitar, wearing guys clothes... awesome. And then I came to realize that the guitar is more of a prop than an instrument, that she doesnt write much of her own music, and the clothing is more of a label decision in an attempt to sell more records. Now she's got long curls and wears heels and dresses. I'm not buying into it- sorry. Anyways, this is once again just MY opinion. I dont expect everyone to share it, and I wont criticize people who disagree with me.

Check out the video for yourself below

"Tripping out, spinning around, I'm underground, I fell down yeah, I fell down...I found myself in wonderland, Get back on my feet again, Is this real? Is this pretend? I'll take a stand until the end"

What do you think? Does it do Alice In Wonderland justice or not quite?

Alice In Wonderland Sountrack Track Listing Revealed

Hey Everyone!

So Alternative Press has revealed the track listing for the upcoming Alice In Wonderland soundtrack, and it appears that many familiar names grace the list. We already knew that Mark Hoppus (Blink-182) and Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) collaborated for a song, which we now know to be called "In Transit", but they are only one notable pair of the 16 artists/groups who make an appearance. The album will be called "Almost Alice" and has been slated for a March 2nd release date. The film is set to be released the same week, on Friday March 5th.

Here is the suspected soundtrack listing:

1. "Alice (Underground)" by Avril Lavigne

2. "The Poison" by The All-American Rejects

3. "The Technicolor Phase" by Owl City

4. "Her Name Is Alice" by Shinedown

Like I said, some pretty decent names on that list... Robert Smith even! Not a bad soundtrack... this could be one to contend with the awards. Heres to hoping that the songs are as good as the artists.

New Information On The Hoppus/Wentz Collaboration!

Hey Everyone!

Phew... just got back from the gym, kick boxing class. What a work out! Now I'm having lunch with some friends before I start up classes for the day... Organizing Post War Masculinity and Objectivity In Media Reporting. Sounds like an interesting night ahead of me! Anyways, on to business...

More information is steadily coming to light about the Mark Hoppus and Pete Wentz collaboration that I mentioned yesterday. MTV is reporting that in an email from Pete, he discussed that the two are working on song for the soundtrack of the upcoming Alice In Wonderland film being produced by Tim Burton. This only makes sense! The two are big fans (as noted by Pete's wedding theme- Alice In Wonderland inspired for sure!) As such, I expect some pretty cool work from them and I'm excited to hear it. I was skeptical but I feel like if this project is for something they are both excited about, it has the potential to be interesting and definitely worth a listen. Guess we'll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for an early leak to see what the hype is all about!

So what do you think of this? Potential or no? Let me know!

Song of the Day: Campus by Vampire Weekend... great song, that pretty much says it all. To read more about them, check back a couple blogs where I discuss their upcoming album being leaked on myspace! I expect really big things from these guys, they're on a slow rise, but its about to take off at full speed with the release of Contra! Be ready.

Movie News!

Hey Everyone!

I know this is a music blog, and as such there is really no place for movie news... but I'm just so excited! I just watched the latest trailer for the new Alice In Wonderland movie and I'm just loving it. This movie looks fantastic, no question. The effects, the costumes, the makeup, the plot... definite winning combination. Not to mention is being done by Tim Burton, an absolute genius in my books. So here you go, check out the trailer and see what you think!
