M'F'nM

    Lately I've been listening to a lot of Murder City Devils and Florence + The Machine.  Nothing new, nothing fancy just plane ol' good shit!  The new Florence album is out tomorrow and I can say that I recommend it without even second guessing how amazing it will be.  Do add me on either or both of these:

• http://www.last.fm/user/reggief
• 121620289 (spotify)

Living with the boyfriend, I get a healthy dose of Rose Ceremony, Bane, Jawbreaker, Samhain, and many other bands I can't even begin to remember.  All I can say is I'm branching out to bands I've heard little of or not at all so you can go ahead and high5 my bf :)


xxo

M'f M.

infinite silence.

M'fuckin Monday!!!

• Brodka  -  Syberia
• Oh Land

    As much as I'd like to say I'm on top of things and I can take an hour of my day to sit and write an easy music and/or movie entry ... I can't.   The past few weeks since I've moved have been up and down for me.    I've been doing amazingly and have a fantastical guy who loves me BUT my own personal BS has kept me from really accomplishing anything.    While at home, I get so easily distracted I can't even sit still for a few minutes AND if I do, I'm watching something then I pass out asleep or get up and lose complete train of thought or desire to sit and write.

    I really wish and want to be consistent with my blog  and hope I make a decent enough effort once I feel more settle.

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    I got all Rotten Tomatoes crazy and couldn't stop clicking on movies that are out/coming out...

• In Time
• Red State (John Goodman, I'm there!)
• Dream House
• 50/50 (JG-L & I've only heard good things)
• The Rum Diary

• The Ides Of March
• Drive

(source:  Just Jared)

Really.  Aside from they look amazing, HE looks amazing.

• The Texas Killing Fields
• Toast
• The Woman
• Sleeping Beauty

• Like Crazy

Mistakes They Made:

1. Footloose
2. The Thing
3. The Skin I Live In  (aka)  Eyes Without A Face (amazingly good, highly recommended!)

Shows I'm Starting Back Up / Premiers:

• Dexter !!! (So Good) (showtime YouTube link, check it out!)
• Pan Am
• Revenge
• Happily Ever After (hoping its good)
• Up All Night (maybe)

    As for music: 

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

   Still up in Oregon so I've been listening to a lot of my sisters music and giving Katy Perry, Kesha and the likes a chance.  Not totally appalled but still not my favorite and I'll take my oldies & death metal over some Kesha in the morning lol.  So a few songs that I dig are:

• In Love (In Theory)  - MadLove
• Laredo  - Tomahawk
• Purlieu  - Hello Mexico

Some random flix

• Nothing But The Truth
• Stir Crazy...
• See No Evil, Hear No Evil
• Another You

    For that matter, just watch anything with Richard Pryor and/or Gene Wilder.  All gems.  Also this week we're getting Due Date which I had completely forgot about but am (re)excited to watch!  For now, I'm going to work out and drink some coffee, or vise versa.

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    So I haven't been taking in nearly as many movies as I used to whilest up in Oregon.  I've been too busy with other stuff that I will update tomorrow or Wed, depending on my condition (getting wisdoms yanked out today... in 3hrs actually).  Alas, I can say that I've introduced a handful of movies to my sister & mom(#2).

• How To Train Your Dragon
• Black Swan
• Inception (heard of just never had watched)
• Henry Poole Is Here (honestly one of my greatest random movie finds ever!)

• Catfish (recommended to Meg and confirmed by me that it is a need to see for its concept)

This will conclude my beer induced M'Fuckin Monday update.  I will now go grab my book and put on my docs so that I'm ready to be picked up and dropped off at my appt, I am pregaming because chances are I may take a nap beforehand.

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    Ello ello from Oregon.  Just a quick lil movie list for ya:

• Mr. Nice 
• True Legend

• Buitiful
• Childrens Hospital - Although clowns scare me, this looks amusing.

Columbus & I share fear, only he got to act on revenge

• Sympathy For Delicious
• Beginners - I personally can't wait to see Beginners.  I'm a huge Ewan fan & Christopher Plummer is phenomenal.

• Horrible Bosses - Kevin Spacey, enough said.

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    Firstly, a HBD to this handsome fella.

    Now on to another handsome devil and a new movie that just premiered at Cannes:

    From his description, the clip seems pretty accurate.  I've read a few reviews and people were talking about how its kind of underwhelming and / or having a campy feel but Ryan states how REO Speedwagon was the reason this movie happened, so it fits.  Check out this other clip that shows a bit of dialogue and some sweet tunes.  I for one and pretty excited, I get kind of a grind house feel and am a sucker for any Gosling film as he's a great actor and well, a babe. 

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

Follow up on the leading ladies tomorrow..

• The Other Woman
• Hesher
• Black Swan
• No Strings Attached
• Your Highness
• Thor

• Troy
• Wicker Park
• National Treasure
• Inglorious Basterds

Bye Bye Baby...

    I guess this months resolution is to de-clutter and come Monday the front of the house will be de-cluttered as Emma will be moving to her new home.

    Will try to not cry but no promises to be made.

M'fuckin Monday!!!

• The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - Seriously gave me goosebumps, it looks so good. I'm stoked WETA worked on this and call me bias, but Draco is in it :) hehe

• Cracks
• Passion Play
• Super 8
• X-Men:  First Class - So jazzed on the cast and it looks legit; fingers crossed.  I actually get a little choked up watching the preview because X-Men was a huge part of my growing up and I just want the movie to be so good!  I remember picking out a cast when I was in 4th grade for my ideal X-Men flick.

• Make Believe (d) - Young Magicians
• Dumbstruck (d) - Ventriloquist
• The Beaver
• The Silent House (f)
• The Help

Zombie Day

    I'm going to start by saying Happy Zombie Jesus Day!  Given the theme of the day I do believe watching zombie movies while drinking some beer & coffee sounds in order and of course watch my boys play at 1.  But for right now I'm going to take the opportunity to pre-game my M'Fuckin Monday and introduce you to an amazing lil' band by the name of Dead Mans Bones.

  

Just by photo, how could you not be drawn in??

The band consists of Ryan Gosling his friend & the Silverlake Childrens Choir.  The first time I heard the way he sings and then the kids singing along, I was hooked.  Done.  Check.  Today it was just by lucky chance as I posted my status update that this song came on:

I would highly recommend listening to an actual copy of the song, but the clip was fun & I love those kids!  I'll also use the lead into saying you should see Blue Valentine if you haven't.  Incredible, uncomfortable, realistic & a dash of Ryan singing :x

    So lets see, heres some of what I may watch today & some of my all around favorite zombies:

• Night of the Living Dead (og) *
• Return of the Living Dead
• Evil Dead *
• Zombieland *
• Dead Snow *
• White Zombie *
• Shaun of the Dead
• 28 Days Later
• Dead Alive *
• Fido
• Day of the Dead (og)
• Dawn of the Dead (old & new)
• The Walking Dead
• Planet Terror
• Boy Eats Girl * ... but I'm going to start with:
• Deadgirl *

For your viewing pleasure I'd also like to share something with you that one of my best friends showed me a few years ago.  Its absolutely amazing and if you're not intrigued by mentalism prior to this, you should be after watching this video.  Its in 2 parts (thankfully someone uploaded and HQ verision) so make sure you watch them both because it is just fantastic.

Enjoy your zombie day!  Brains & Beer.

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    A whole week with no blogging and I can't even remember what I did.  Theres a good sign, I forget unless I write it down and I'm only 28.  Awesome.  Anyhow, enjoy the one thing I have to give:

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    I have been slacking big time on my Monday prepping.  I've just got projects thrown all over, I keep getting magazines in the mail so I get sucked into fashion for hrs at a time, trying to finish reading Water For Elephants so that I'm finally done with it and then of course the Giants.
    Anyhow, I have been listening to oldies - they never get old :) haha.

• The Silhouettes
• The Crew Cuts

• Ricky Nelson
• The Temptations (one of my all time faves)
• Smokey Robinson
• Otis Redding

and you can never go wrong with some

Aretha Franklin

    As for movies:

• Elizabeth 
• Maos Last Dancer

• Frost / Nixon
• Peeping Tom  (Pattons bands namesake)
• Hereafter

xxo

M'fuckin Music Monday!!!

    Last week consisted of an enormous amount of Mike Patton, which is never a bad thing.  This week, I'm just doing a cluster fuck of stuff, no rhyme or reason.

• Ida Maria - See Me Through
• Elbow - With Love
• Boom Bip & Doseone  -  The Birdcatcher's Return

• fun.
• 30 Seconds To Mars - Hurricane (whole This Is War album is AMAZING)

• Dirty Dancing OST - I've been dancing around the house for 3 days straight
• The Commitments OST

    Which will lead me into movies and my urging you to go see

• The Commitments asap!  It is one of the best movies you will ever see, I'm a huge fan of UK/Irish humor and film.  Its a group of random folk who've been scouted out to start a band, and every character is a riot, my favorite has always been Deco.  Now let me tell you how oblivious I was to exactly how amazing he is, the actor Andrew Strong was 16 when this film was made.  The voice and attitude that comes out of this guy is unreal, I absolutely love it.  So do yourself a solid and rent / buy / watch this movie.
• The Young Ones - The whole series, brilliance.  When I was little, this was one of my favorite shows to watch, and about 8 years ago my mom surprised me with the Every Stoopid Episode box set!  Vyvyan was my favorite (huge crush) then Rick (who most will know as Fred), the cast in general is just hilarious. 

• Hanna is just going to be awesome, good cast, amazing soundtrack done entirely by The Chemical Brothers AND my inner turmoil trend, bleached brows.  I had completely forgot about this until I saw a preview for it on tv about a week ago.  Let me say that I'm THRILLED for this.  Saoirse is such a good lil' actress, I just love her.

• Hilary and Jackie:  crazy story & beautiful cello playing
• Bronson

    That'll be it for now.  Time to dance around, work out and listen to an Janet / Gaga infused playlist.

xxo

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    First, I'd like to say Happy Birthday to Matthew Broderick & Jeffrey Lynn Johnston!
 

Shake it baby now!!

    Keeping with the "M" theme, I'm going to start off with some Mike Patton.  Even more specific, Mondo Cane.  I have a thing for Mike, and last year I came upon this project he did with an orchestra and band singing Italian pop songs.  I seriously can NOT get enough of it, I actually crave it.

    With all this speak of MP, I think I'm going to dedicate the week to him and do a bit on one of his bands/projects each day :D  I just got really excited!!  I think you should be too and I'll take my thank you's in the form of high 5s and go ahead and say "Your Welcome!" now.

zuc zuc zuc zuc

    I would swoon if I ever got to see this live, just melt.  On top of having an awesome vocal range and being an incredible musical talent, the face attached to this man is great (wow, packed that sentence with compliments).  Just watching his face when her performs is entertainment enough.  There are points when he almost looks evil with his eyebrows and smile, then he'll let out that bellow "deep deep doooown" and its just great.

   The fact that he did something different from what I'm used to hearing impresses me.  I grew up loving Faith No More, then Mr Bungle, then Tomahawk, Lovage... etc., and now Mondo Cane.  Whatever the man touches:  

GOLD

    I leave you now to let your ears fall in love with some I-talian pop.  Good day to you.

xxo

PS:  Greatly amused by this-
