Eminem rapping for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL

COOL... As long as he doesn't make a guest appearance... That would suck.

LOL and enjoy the trailer!

BTW - I hope there isn't a Tom Cruise hanging from a wire scene because in the first M.I. it was breathtaking, in  the second it was yeah I remember that, in the third it was like ok, in the forth... You get my point. All M.I. fans can hate me now but don't deny the truth.

What No Hands?!!! That Is Somethin' Ya Gotta See Unless You're Robbing A Major Bank

First let me say that my next few statements are not truly related but just what is rolling through my head right now. So Citibank got robbed by a legally blind and Black dude from NYC (YO/OMG!!! I want the movie rights to that film- NO JOKE), Captian America is coming out on the 23rd instead of the 4th (Say What?!?) and this is my fave song on the radio... Hmmm... I wonder if  there are anymore hackers like the cat who robbed Citibank who would like to finance some videos I am working on? I have accounts at... Never mind. I sneeze the wrong way near a bank and I have too many people starring at my @$$ .

Enjoy Waka Flocka.

'Nuff' Said!

HORRIBLE BOSSES WILL BE ONE OF THE FUNNIEST FILMS THIS YEAR!

You take the 9 to 5 formula (Dolly Parton/ early 80s movie) update it with actual murder and a bunch of dudes instead of ladies; throw in some GREAT C and B list comic actors including Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston... WAIT THEY ARE  ON THE A-LIST!!! My Bad!!! And I am pretty sure you have a d@mn funny movie. Watch the clips and judge for yourself ;)

DINO MATIS - D. Bravanti Reading

Dino's dramatic improvisational take on the characters makes him one of the stronger choices for the David Bravanti character.

Another very cool letter from a talented and brilliant guy - BILLY FRANKS

This artist has a BRILLIANT BOOK MARKETING CONCEPT & MUSIC PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY!!! NOW it is time for you (the viewers and listeners) to judge his approach, musical & writing styles, as well as genre choices.

Nathan,

You may know that I have a book being published in the not to distant future by Black & White, the same publishers for Roald Dahl among others.

I have been networking for over a year now to try and gather as many friends as possible so they could at least consider the book on publication.

It really is a beautiful little book. (I have added the introduction below in case you would like to read it)

So I was thinking I might ask you and a few others if you would be willing to do some kind of promotional exchange:

You email or post to your connections an invitation to download my free compilation album.

In return I will do the same for any product or service you would like me to promote.

Here are my figures.

Myspace: 22,495

Face book: Fan Page members 8,479 -  Friends 3,465

Youtube: Friends 10,667 – Subscribers: 1,631

Mailing list: 10,110

Twitter 10,124

Linkedin: 4,384

Allowing for the little amount of crossover that there is, the total is over 60,000

I would like to know your thoughts before I approach any others with the same proposition,

I hope all remains well with you,

Billy

A Far Cry from Sunset: - Introduction.

Starting in the summer of 2005, three friends and I took an eight month journey across the two continents of America and Europe.

We were on a mission: – to get ten of the world’s most famous recording artists to record a tribute album to an unknown songwriter; – And that songwriter would be me.

As we travelled, we were going to make a road movie; an epic chronicle of our quest, and a testament to our friendship.

We made it and called it, Tribute This!

The adventures we had and the people we met changed my life profoundly. Not only its present but also how I view its past.

Apart from our struggles with managers, publicists, security, and even one or two of the artists themselves, we ran into so many people from ordinary walks of life; cab drivers, hotel porters, fans standing in line to see their heroes, who couldn’t do enough to help or encourage us on our journey.

For one long summer, we lived life so brilliantly; so full of laughter and a gathering sense of achievement, that I wondered if the artists we were pursuing ever got to see life in anything like the same way.

In contrast, they seemed so protected, so hidden away, so cut off from the world that, towards the end of our travels, the thought occurred to me, at that point in time, I wouldn’t swap one year of their lives for one day of ours.

My hope is, in reading my account of those heady days, along with the memories from my musical life so far, you will understand why

Classic David Bowie - SPACE ODDITY

BEWARE OF MAJOR TOM!!!! Oh wait that is Ashes To Ashes... Still BEWARE (lol).

 

Space Oddity lyrics

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

AWESOME JENNAH BELL - "YES, THIS IS A HOLD UP." (& SHE DOES HER OWN REVERB (LOL))

AWESOME SONG!
SHARK, SHARK, SHARK.
GUN, GUN, GUN,GUN.
Ya' see I can do reverb, too!
SO ARTISTIC AND TRUE TO THE FORMAT, PLATFORM, AND TIMING!!!
a.k.a. It's just cool.

JASON MOMOA... YOU RAWK!!! CONAN TRAILER #2 IS AWESOME!!!

I was trying really really hard not to like the new/remake of Conan The Barbarian which is actually from the series Conan The Cimmerian (which I read as a kid (lol)). Especially noting that the first Conan picture with Arnold was an absolute classic BUT I kept watching the 2nd trailer which showed me that this was a different take on the Conan story and mythology. Jason Momoa was a completely understandable yet different choice for the Cimmerian! From Bay Watch to Stargate to his latest barbarian personas in Thrones and Conan; this guy has come a long way in shaping how Hollywood sees him. I also got a kick out of seeing the Hollywood embellishments (fxs) merge with Robert E. Howard's creative and way-a-head-of-its-time barbarian fantasy. If you know anything about Conan's creator you know that he tragically died early in life. Who knows what other characters he may have created? FYI - Check out Solomon Kane to see what I mean.

p.s. What can I say??? I LOVE FILM! I LOVE ART!!!!!

Some Audition Highlights

This time around I was looking for character actors who could pull off convincing portrayals of unique people. In other words the strange and borderline beautiful characters that you read in novels and sometimes only see on cable because prime time sort of shuns the different or in some cases THE REAL folks!!! These are the people or "energies" as I call it are the same "energies" that you work with and call you friends, neighbors, and sometimes LOVERS so why is it that these people are never seen on regular TV as principal characters? Reality shows come close but only show the most scandalous/ratings-gathering aspects of a so called "real" environment. I am so ready to mix it up a little with some truly beautiful scripted yet very real characters that make up this jumbalaya we call America and this grand buffet we call LIFE on our little blue marble.

Enjoy the highlights and don't forget to ENJOY the truth, the energy, the fun!!!!

FABULOUS!!!!

Y'all know me so y'all know when something makes me smile on the inside and out I gotta promote that con mucho gusto!!! These are some of the people you may or may not meet at the art gallery this Friday. Soooooooo wild/free/funny that it is FABULOUS SO ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! (Wait a minute wasn't that the name of some British show, too?!)

Keep LAUGHIN', Keep LOVIN'
