Just between you and me...

I don't know if I should be sharing this with the rest of the world (ie all five of you) but I just found out that Gerard Way of My Chem has broken his engagment. Cue the collective sigh of relief from a gazillion female fans.

the article can be found here.

Onto other news...

Saw the new Harry Potter movie the other day.
Now, maybe its because I read the books and know the subtext and context etc so I could follow the movie pretty easily.
All the other people in the cinema, however, were very confused. Comments like 'why has Potter gone all emo?' and 'Why is he acting like and ass?'

Has everyone forgotten that Potter is 16 in the movie? He is acting like a 16 year old boy. Perfectly normal under the circumstances.

The movie itself also kicked ass. I was rolling with laughter. Now that the last book has come out, everyone is reading it. Except me. I'll wait til it comes out in cheap paperback.

Must go gift shopping for my mom tomorrow. Its her birthday on Friday and today is my mate's birthday - Jeff!! Happy Birthday mate!!!

Plug It In

In a shameless appeal and plug for good SA music, I am asking you, my readers, to help out a great SA band - Movie55.

Download thier 3rd single here

Singer, Garret Boone, and drummer, Roger Erian, formed the band in 2001. They were originally a cover band, entertaining audience’s country wide, but soon found their thirst for their own original music became overwhelming. They started to concentrate on their originals, with the cover band becoming a sideline project.

Movie55 released “Anyone in There” shortly thereafter and the song quickly climbed to no. 3 on the High5@5 music chart on 5fm as well as getting many hours on TUKSfm. The single created a massive stir among their fans and the release of their album, Anyone in There, was hugely anticipated. Since then, two new members have joined the band, and they are here to stay.

Movie55’s guitarist, Raoul Roux teamed up with Roger and Garret in 2004 and has never looked back since. Anton Beukes arrived on the scene three months later. Movie55 have since been in studio recording their latest album, Save Myself, which they completed in December 2005. All four members contribute to their highly original sound due to their extreme talent and diverse personalities.

Their hit single ‘Save Myself’ is, or has been, played on KofsiesFM, PukFM, RMR Radio, East Coast Radio, UCT Radio, and RSG. Movie55’s first music video is screened on MK89. Save Myself was also a featured cd on Barney Simon’s SA Show on Radio 2000 and on UCT (4 tracks played on each).

This is a very exciting time for this extremely talented band, Movie55 are ready to take the world by storm, Watch out for this band, they truly will blow you away with their stage presence, their musical genius, their moving lyrics and melodies, and with their dedication and talent.

Movie55 was rated one of the highlights of the White Mountain Music Festival line-up and will perform at Splashy Fen Music Festival in April 2007. 1100 cds have been sold at their gigs.
