Andrew Bird -"A Nervous Tick Motion Of The Head To The Left"

I just wanted to give a heads up that Andrew Bird, an excellent musician, will be playing at the Bijou on Sept. 10. I'll be going and you should too.
However, since nobody who reads this blog actually lives in Knoxville anymore, simply disregard this post.

Here he is playing one of my favorite songs at Bonnaroo:

Be Kind Rewind

I can't wait to see this. I'm also glad that Mos Def is doing some more comedy, cause he was really good in Hitchhiker's Guide.

Worst Title For A Cartoon Ever

"Pre-Teen Raider" sounds disturbingly like something NAMBLA would finance.

There Is A God

Finally, The State is coming to DVD.

Two Video Games That Absolutely Will Not Suck

Here's the latest trailer for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption:

It's a new Metroid Prime which is golden in and of itself. The early reports coming out are that not only is it possibly the best game in the series so far (and by series I mean Prime and not Metroid as a whole), but it also is the first solid shooting game on the Wii. Which is pretty much what Wii owners have been waiting for since the system was first revealed lo those many years ago. The production design looks as a good as ever and the game even features a deeper story line with fully voice acted NPCs.

Also, here's a jello Metroid dessert which I am determined to learn how to make:


Anyway, the second game is The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, a new Zelda game controlled exclusively with the Nintendo DS's stylus. This video has the courtesy to show how the stylus is actually used along with the gameplay footage. It does not, however, have the common courtesy to speak English. Still, it's a solid representation of what the game is all about.

It's also designed in the wonderfully charming style of Wind Waker which I'm happy to see. It even appears to be the same version of Hyrule complete with vast oceans to explore.
The end of this trailer also features what I'm assuming is some sort of online multi-player feature. Like capture the flag, except with Triforce fragmments. Not bad!
