The Muppets Go Grunge

by Carmen Cruz


A new Muppets movie you say? Yup. Believe it!                                  

The new Muppets movie will not only feature a bunch of cameos by some big names (Jack Black, Ricky Gervais, Lady Gaga)  ~ those crazy puppets are also doing some weird covers. Expect to hear the Muppets singing their own version of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', and Cee Lo Green's 'Forget You' (although I feel that covering the original version, 'Fuck You' would be so much more interesting...can you imagine?!?!).


 You can also expect to see Dave Grohl behind the Muppets drum kit. In the movie, he'll be temporarily filling in for the usual drummer Animal, while he's away at an anger management course.



 So who's responsible for creating another muppet movie? Believe it or not, it's all thanks to Jason Segel. He's the dude from the TV show 'How I Met Your Mother.' He both wrote the script and stars in the movie. I've got high hopes for this one I tell ya. High hopes...

The movie comes out early next year.

Favourite Albums Of 2010

by Carmen Cruz




It's tough to narrow down my list for the best albums of 2010, but I think I've got it down.

Here goes (don't judge!) in no particular order:

God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise ~ Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs (Mind Blowing)

The Black Keys ~ Brothers (Ditto)

Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty ~ Big Boi (I miss OutKast. Seriously)

Body Talk ~ Robyn

Thank Me Later ~ Drake

The Suburbs ~ Arcade Fire

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ~ Kanye West (I don't care that he's an egomaniac. The guy is brilliant.)

The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) ~ Janelle Monae (Holy crap she's AWESOME!!! She's like a female version of OutKast.)

Sigh No More ~ Mumford & Sons (These guys can make a BANJO sound sexy! I mean..C'MON!!!)

Plastic Beach ~ Gorillaz

The Lady Killer ~ Cee Lo Green (Fuck you!!! And fuck her too!!!)

I could literally go on and on (LCD Soundsystem, Broken Bells, Eminem, Local Natives, Vampire Weekend, Crystal Castles....etc, etc.)

HONOURABLE MENTION: Universal Mind Control ~ Common (**Ok. So I know it came out in 2008, but I didn't really 'discover it' until 2010. Better late than never!**)

You should definitely check out any or all of these albums, if you haven't already. Please feel free to suggest any albums that I should be getting into.

Alright. Bedtime. Peace out.

P.S: I'm kinda proud of myself that I finally updated my blog. Pathetic, but true...
