#MusicBOX - Tenacious D "Rock is Dead"

'been listening quite a lot to Tenac's new CD Rize of the Fenix.
And loving it!

Here's a pretty fun music video from a track of the new album:

#Movie NEWS! first pics of Iron Man 3's new villain

Avengers out, did you know they're already filming Iron Man 3 at the moment?
And some crazy screenshots from fans have already invaded the web of what might be one of the movie's new villains....


What is that....?
Lemme see closer...


That's right! It seems to be an Iron Patriot costume!

But I doubt it will be the same kinda Iron Patriot as the one in the Marvel Comics.
In the comics, it was Spider-man's villain Norman Osborn who used this alter ego. But being "copyrighted" by Sony at the moment, someone else will don this armor here.
Technically though, Iron Patriotdid appear first in an Avengers comics, so it might be okay for Marvel films to use him.


This means actor James Badge Dale (originally rumored to be Coldblood) will be playing here in fact some unnamed new guy as Iron Patriot, alongside these other rumored villains Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin, and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian, the man behind the Extremis technovirus.

Seems a bit "too much"... And with Jon Favreau out...will we end up with a "Spider-man 3" again...!?!

#Gaming NEWS! Doom: The n00b Edition

Woah! What an unexpected news comin' from id software.
When I've been long awaiting for any tidbit of news regarding Doom 4, now that Rage's been released for quite some time already, instead their publisher Bethesda just announced a repackaging of the previous games, revamped and expanded!

Doom 3 BFG Edition is an all new re-release of Doom 3 for current systems Xbox 360, PC and PS3.

It will actually be an HD upgrade of both Doom 3 and its expansion Resurrection of Evil.
Some 7+ new levels will be added under the new title The Lost Mission.
Doom 1 and Doom 2 will also be included, unedited/unupdated.

And fanboys can rejoice, the flashlight will finally be able to be used simultaneously with a weapon.
By the way, I never understood the problem with it. It was always perfectly fine for me to switch between the guns and the flashlight. It created the "mood". And it was easy to use the light as a weapon (which offered a pretty high damage hits to the enemies)
But alas... Kids nowadays are never satisfied, and just complain about anything, all the time! Are you guys ever happy with something?! No complaints whatsoever? Guess not....

Here's a trailer:



As a long time huge id-fan, I will no doubt get this.
But probably later on.

You see, I actually just recently replayed through these games actually, like 2-3 months ago.
What a coincidence!
(loved the expansion, RoE, even more so than the actual D3 on this new playthrough!)

CBR The Rocketeer

 


It's the turn for an all-time classic!
I already reviewed another Rocketeer book, The Rocketeer: Jetpack Treasury Edition for another blog, New Readers.
Now let's dig into....


The complete Rocketeer experience, Deluxe-sized!!

Comic title: The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventure - DELUXE Edition
Art & story by Dave Stevens
Colors by Laura Martin
Additional help from Mike Kaluta,Paul DeMeo, Sandy Plunkett, Art Adams and more...

Published by IDW Publishing
From 2010
Lineup The Rocketeer
Format: Giant-sized omnibus TPB, reprinting The Rocketeer book 1 and book 2 originally published as back-up stories in StarSlayer and then The Rocketeer on-going series plus additional behind-the-scenes material such as sketches and scripts and more!

Dave Stevens is a fantastic talented artist that was sadly taken away fromthe world way too soon.
This discret author came from the indie scene, he actually worked for Hanna-Barbera Productions before, worked on various series such as Spider-Man, Lone Ranger, Flash Gordon, Star Wars, and on some movie screenplays such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Michael Jackson's Thriller.
But no one doubts that his lifetime achievement still is through and through The Rocketeer.

Even now over 20+ years later, this little independent comic is still quite fondly remembered and loved all over the world. And for a reason.
Even though most remember it thanks to the Disney movie in the early 1990s, it brought the comic under the spotlight for many others.

Dave Stevens passed away after a long fight with leukemia he kept secret from most of his friends and coworkers in March 10, 2008.


The Rocketeer was originally published as back-up stories in Mike Grell's Starslayer indie book, starting in 1981.
The first story was published from '81 to '85, and consists of chapters 1 to 5.

It is a period piece. Set in Los Angelese, 1938.
The story is about Cliff Secord, an happy-go-lucky reckless daredevil airplane pilot.
Cliff has been having some money troubles, specially if he wanna keep up with his girlfriend Betty who is an actress and model in Hollywood.
One day he stumbles upon a top secret rocket pack prototype some criminals were hiding aboard his plane.
Cliff has his best friend and mentor Peev work up a special helmet he dons, along a red jacket and up, up, and away goes The Rocketeer!
And from one day to another, Cliff ends up caught in the middle of government conspiracies, a world of spies, secret Nazi agents... well in over-his-head as you might say.

Surfing on simple themes from pulp heroes of the 1930s, Dave Stevens' Rocketeer is simply put, a love letter and a tribute to the old serials of the past.
The book employs a simple light science fiction element (the rocket pack) and ground this tale in a more realistic environment that his contemporary masked superheroes (in the 80s or nowadays).
The tone is a mix of all kinds of great comics from that time, action, adventure, romance. It appeals to the dream everybody ever has, what if a man could fly.
 It's a light hearted tale, full of car chases, aerial fights. Not a full blown superhero genre, some of the usual plotpoints are brought up - the secret id, villains - but are not part of the main dilemma. Which keeps this book more realistic than, say, Batman. Closer to old pulp heroes such as Tarzan, The Spirit.

And what makes the charm of The Rocketeer is how apart he is from the usual tropes of the medium.
Cliff is an unlikely hero, not motivated to act for the good of manking, but rather by personal interests. He's in for the money, for his girl.


The follow-up, the second Rocketeer story is called "Cliff's New York adventure", and was originally published from 1988 to 1995. Now in his own Rocketeer Adventure Magazine under Comico Comics.

Continuing were the original left off, it is a bit closer to a more traditional comic book.
It was actually made for a broader audience in mind, while Stevens was working a deal for the rights of the character with Disney, for a picture deal.

This time following The Rocketeer mostly in his civilian identity over most of this new story-arc.
It is a more classic story of vengeance, unraveling his childhood past and a mystery at the same time.
From the previous arc, only Betty is carried over, though only to frame the new story.
The supporting cast is expanded, with the likes of Goose Gander, another pilot and old friend of Cliff.
It is a darker atmosphere this time around, the action taking place in a very oppressive New York City. The story is still quite pulp, exposing a circus past.

Dave Stevens had various contributors help out while he was working on the movie adaptation or traveling around to Paris, etc. Mike Kaluta did some breakdowns and inks, the movie adaptation's co-screenwriter Paul DeMeo did some scripts for this new comics, some other colleagues and friends such as Sandy Plunkett and Art Adams helped finish some issues.

The story is left a bit open ended, a sequel - a third book - was supposed to follow-up on Betty and Cliff's unresolved relationship. The original idea was even pitched by Stevens at Dark Horse Comics. But sadly he moved on other projects, illustration and commission work mostly.

It's such a page-turner!
The original comic was asking for a movie adaptation, so much personality and character was oozing beyond the panels and the pages.


The artwork is simply gorgeous, Dave Stevens work didn't age a day. His artistic range covers various type of art style depending on the scene, from real life-like to more cartoony comic strips. There's a bit of pin-up influences in his style right alongside his more realistic and cartoon approaches to scenes.
Every detail was researched, clothing, people, manners, cars, vehicles. Hey, he even bought those boots actually for reference! Dave was great with planes in action, but also more scifi elements such as the futuristic rocketpack.
The art is big, bright and clean.
Actually, the main principal characters were based after himself and his circle of friends and idols. By using both photographic references and his own knowledge of figures. And it shows.
Betty was modeled after, well, pin-up model Bettie Page. Dave actually ended up meeting her in real life and the two even became good friends. He was the one who brought her back to the pop culture front through his work.

Most of the realism is given through Betty.
It is her relationship with Cliff that grounds the Rocketeer in "our" world.
It is also a window through the era, the sadly accurate male-dominated environment of the early-Hollywood settings. It's a cynical but reak look at the life of young starlettes in Hollywood in the 30s.
It's the aspect of Cliff's life that makes The Rocketeer live in a plausible world, which brinngs the only fictive element, the rocketpack, to life. Cliff accumulates bruises,..

You feel the period.
The whole thing is a big tribute to old pulp heroes from the 1930s and 40s.
An homage to old serials but also everything Dave Stevens was and loved. Dave IS The Rocketeer, his character share his personality, using him and his friends as basis for the characters make even secondary background characters full of life. And it also the reason why Betty feels so absent in the second tale, his muse Bettie Page left the place for his actual wife, and he was in the middle of a divorce during the 2nd book.

Like Indiana Jones, The Rocketeer design and suit is rooted in pulp stories. He's quite simple, realistic and iconic.
Stevens even managed to work in a Doc Savage allusion during the first story, but well integrated enough if one his familiar with the character that it doesn't detract from the experience in the opposite case.
The second story actually uses The Shadow as one of the main character, a lot more obvious, but never referred to in-name to avoid copyright issues and smartly used to flesh out this universe.

The whole Rocketeer has a very nostalgic feel of the time and fiction of that era, influenced by such as the King of the Rocket Men movie serials or the syndicated Commando Cody TV series.


Overall, it's a cult comic book!
And a perfectly example of what was being made on the indie scene in the 80s. And it just shows its quality, being still in print nowadays so long after it ended!
IDW re-released this updated collection for all to finally enjoy the complete experience in 2009/10.
It's a very fun entertaining experience

The first part is a perfect reflect of its author, the story is just that fun and the art so facinating.
"Cliff Secord in New York", the follow-up, has a bit less Rocketeer in it and is a more traditional vengeance story, with less spies chasing around, more linear and a bit less fun.

It's a nice mirror of its time.
It's fun to notice that like Edgar Wright with Scott Pilgrim nowadays, it was Joe Johnston's movie adaptation that helped make this indie comic famous originally.
The book is over 140 pages, the art is gorgeous. The book was edited in two releases, a Deluxe and a non-Deluxe edition. Of course the Deluxe one is more expansive but it contains a lot fun sketches and trivia, from concept arts to characters design to breakdowns and scripts. It also has a great foreword by Punisher actor Tom Jane who was friends with Dave Stevens and a huge Rocketeer fan.

This modern IDW reprint really his made from a lot of love for the character and its creator. From Rocketeer fans to fans.

The Rocketeer had been out of print for quite some time now, and it was with the cooperation of Dave Stevens before his death that this had all been collected.
It features a brand new coloring by renowned artist Laura Martin who had been personally chosen by Stevens to recolor the series.
Her "magic" colors by Dave's recommendations really update the overall look of the entire book. Keeping his gorgeous timeless art intact.

I give it:
  3 / 3 FlamingCarrots!

Ice Prince admits he’s a dad

Panshak Zamani popularly known as Ice Prince has finally admitted to being a father - two months after the story was broke down in March 2012.

The Chocolate City rapper revealed this while discussing with Vanessa Offiong of Nigerian newspaper Weekly Trust’s Weekend Magazine in an interview published over the weekend.

When he was asked that what the experience like being a 'new dad' and how it was fitting into his schedule, he replied ‘Yes I am. I have a strong team around me and we are able to schedule our events properly. This gives me time to take care of all the things that I need to take care of’.

On March 1, 2012, 20-year-old former Houdegbe North American University undergraduate Bimbo Babatunde delivered a baby boy (since named Toluwalase) for Ice Prince.

Prince had denied that he is not the father of Bimbo's child. The baby was born in March 1, 2012.

Ice Prince was recently one of the nominees for the 2012 BET Awards in the ‘Best International Act: Africa’ category, alongside Wizkid.

With her new track ‘I Don Did it’ and ‘High’ video, Eva is enjoying every bit of her time, pulling crowds across the country especially at the King of Comedy show held recently.

To confirm the news, Eva is presently shifting her new video 'high', took to her Twitter line, saying ‘Wow! I had to go through 13 Record deals to finally get here.. Did I say Yes to the 14th? Yes! Am I happy? Oh Yes!!. She is yet to respond to calls as at the time of writing.

Don Jazzy Tells THISDAY Style ‘Mo’Hits Will Never Die’


In this interview culled from ThisDay Style, the hit producer says he believes the hit label ‘lives on’.

Tell me a bit about yourself; what was your childhood like?
Well, I was born in Umuahia but spent most of my childhood in Lagos after our family moved here. I am the eldest of four kids. I have always loved music and started banging drums and instruments when I was a kid. As I grew older, I started experimenting with different sounds even if they didn’t make sense.


What inspired you to go into music?
I have always been surrounded by music growing up. My father was in the music business and retains a very special interest in it until today. Music was part and parcel of our everyday life.

Was it an easy take breaking into the Nigerian entertainment industry?
God has been extremely generous to me so thankfully it has not been so bad. But believe me, there were some trials. After we set up, we even considered selling it off when some offers came in. If not that there were some delays, we may have sold for like N1m. Fortunately, it was not to be and God allowed us go from strength to strength.

Contrary to some of your predecessors, it didn’t take you long to create a niche for yourself as the don of the Nigerian entertainment and the beats master. What was the secret behind your success?
God almighty, a lot of hard work, a wonderful team, loads of practice and study of the music game, knowing what the people want, and loving what I do.

The birth of MAVIN signifies a new era for you. How do you feel about it?
I feel gingered and ready to work as always. Nothing stops. We will just keep working. I’m excited because things look beautiful so far for a new company. I am the kind of person who always looks forward to what he does. MAVIN is like a new child for me and I am so excited about it. On the day we launched I could hardly even sleep.

There have been a lot of speculations and wild rumours; could you clear the air as to real reason behind the breakup of the record label?
Most of the things out there have been fabricated. I have not even been giving interviews until after the launch of MAVIN so where the stories came from, I do not know. There was no major problem behind the split. D’banj and I just decided we wanted to branch out and try different things musically and professionally.

The dictionary definition of the MAVIN means someone who is dazzlingly skilled in his field an expert so to say. Was there a particular reason to the choice of this name for your record label? Were you perchance trying to pass a message to your fans?
Yes! You always think hard when creating a company. You think about what beat describes you or the company or how people see you as. So MAVIN meaning genius kind of sounded sexy (Laughing) although people have been complaining that we are forcing them to read the dictionary for the meaning of the MAVIN and even Solar Plexus, the name of the new album. Everybody has his or her own unique skill in life, whatever it is you do, don’t just be amazing at it, be a MAVIN at it.

There’s a fresh addition to the group in person of Tiwa Savage, a clear diversion from the all-male feel of the group. If at all an addition, why a female artist, and why Tiwa Savage?
Even at, I wanted to sign a female artiste but the opportunity never really came up. Tiwa and I have a connection musically. We work well together that’s why she was first choice to get activated.

Do you have any plans to push MAVIN deep into the international market? And do you intend to go about it?
Yes we all definitely want to grow. And we intend to go about it one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the race. We are Nigerians and this is our base but African music is hot in the world right now so we must meet that demand too.

Where did you draw inspirations from during the creation of Solar Plexus?
Well the name itself actually came from my dad. He loves winding us with big grammar. The inspiration for the album itself came from God. I just wanted to make songs that were different from songs out at the moment production wise. Although I played with sounds not common in the Nigerian market now, I am glad it’s working fine meaning we Nigerians are now opening up our ears to alien sounds little by little.

Seeing as the album was created just a little while after the breakup of records, how were you able to concentrate in the midst of all the mayhem?
It wasn’t easy. But I am someone that doesn’t have any trouble and don’t like trouble each other. I have built myself up in a way that not a lot of things bother me. There is nothing you can’t achieve with hard work and prayers. I always just try and let the music do the talking.

Is there any possibility of reconciliation between you and D’banj, not only in terms of the brotherly friendship that existed between you but also to create music?
(Laughs) Who said we quarrelled? There can only be reconciliation when people have quarrelled before. We are good. We even worked together recently on the ‘Oliver Twist‘ remix and performed in New York.

Is Don Jazzy a musician or a producer?
(Laughs) All of the above.

A last word on the death of Mo’Hits any regrets?
None. No matter how much people call it that, it actually can’t die. The great songs we made as will outlive you and I.  Mo’Hits lives on in every one of us.

Kanye West Reveals New Single Art For “Cold”

Kanye Omari West 1 popularly known as Kanye West track where he takes to his love of current amour Kim Kardashian has transformed yet again. The song which is originally title "Therafiu", the song got some clue from the cold medication brand and retitled itself as "Way Too Cold". Now the tune is just known as "Cold" and boasts a second round single design courtesy of Yeezy's buddy, artist George Condo.

Justin Bieber Heads To Europe For Secret Shows Amid Paparazzi Scandal

After having a — shall we say, eventful — Memorial Day, Justin Bieber has flyed out to Europe for a handful promotional performance for his forth coming album, Belive  ”OFF TO EUROPE! PHASE 1 of operation secret concerts! lol. OSLO first stop. See u soon,” Justin Bieber tweeted, who is suprising his fans in Europe with some live shows. We hope Bieber enjoyed his visit on the other side of the Atlantic because when he to spend enough time talking with some people, as Biever is not a suspect in criminal battery investigation stemming from run-in with a paparazzi.



On Monday (May 28) Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez were involved in a scuffle with a member of the paparazzi that reportedly turned physical. According to witnesses - a photographer was blocking Bieber’s car as he parked at the Calabasas Commons mall. Bieber exited his car and asked the man to move; when he would not, a physical altercation ensued, leaving Bieber without a shoe and the photog with a blow to the face.

The photographer filed a police report, and now police are investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery case. They’re reportedly looking to speak to Bieber, Gomez and other witnesses, though they may have to wait to speak to the “All Around The World” singer when he returns from his promotional obligations in Europe.

Before you start condemning Bieber’s violent actions quite yet, witnesses reported that a lawyer approached the photographer after Bieber had left, claiming that he could get “a lot of money” from the altercation, and advised him to call an ambulance and file a police report. So there’s a slight chance that the 18-year-old pop star may not have done quite as much physical damage to the photog than he would otherwise want you (and the police) to believe.

P. Diddy: 'I'm Going to Marry Someone Tonight'

Sean John Combs, also known by his stage names Diddy and P. Diddy  got in the great mood on Memorial Day weekend that he has to reveal to his fellow party-goers that he will marry someone without pre-nup.

The American rapper was running high when her partied in Las Vegas this weekend where he revealed that he was going to marry. Diddy attended the Black and White Affair event at Chateau Nightclub and Gardens on Sunday, May 27 night during the celebration of America's Memorial Day.

The rapper who just came back from the United States rom Cannes Film Festival in France, was with drink in his hand with DJ booth. He then, according to Radar Online, revealed to the crowd, "I'm going to marry someone tonight, no pre-nup... I just want you to live well!"

There has been a lot of rumor out there that Diddy is the one dating the singer Cassie. Although they have never confirmed the relationship, the couple was often seen in the same scenes including a shopping spree in Paris last March.
