There's and Elephant on the loose
There is a new Vampire Weekend in town and they go by the name of Cheers Elephant. The band is composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Derek Krzywicki, bassist Travelin' Mat, lead guitarist Jordan del Rosario, and drummer Roberto Kingston. I'll let you form your own opinion this time. If you are in the Philly area, there is an album release party January 17 at the North Star. Enjoy!
Here are two stand out tracks, Wide Eyed and Mr. Marvelous

The Thundercats Movie
In times like this of countless re-makes, prequels and sequels, it is really refreshing to see that some one wants movies to be made right. By now, a lot of you have probably heard rumors of a Thundercats movie being made. Well in fact it is very possible but not a done deal just yet. The closest thing to a clue that the movie will actually be made is a character model which we assume is Panthero (the black one). There isn't even a studio that has signed on to pick it up yet or a casting call done. So the amazing thing is how WormyTV has actually made a trailer for a movie that doesn't exist. It actually looks better than the Street Fighter, Dragon Ball, and Speed Racer trailers combined. It really looks like a movie I would pay $10 (a night showing) to go see it in theaters, which says a whole lot these days. WormyTV created the movie trailer using clips from various movies starring Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman and Vin Diesel. The effects were done frame by frame in Photoshop and the footage was edited in Adobe Premiere. A really great feat, that returns my faith in the movies.
