Second official single (I think) and video from Thunderheist off of their upcoming self-titled album. The first being “Jerk It”, which was also in the film The Wrestler. The video, “Nothing 2 Step 2″, continues the string of odd videos in Thunderheists’ library, see “Jerk It”. “Nothing 2 Step 2″ has both Isis and Grahmzilla on the ground performing as dancers are in and out of the scene and is quite beautifully shot. The album “Thunderheist” officially drops next Tuesday (the 31st) and I have to say this is a must buy. The advanced copy they sent us is pretty fantastic. Jump on the pre-order over at Amazon.

On a side note, I’m really really digging Isis’s new hair style.

This is possibly the best acceptance speech I’ve ever heard. This is of course Mickey Rourke at the Spirit Awards, which happened on February 21st, making an acceptance speech for the Best Male Lead Film for his role in The Wrestler. First off we have to pre-warn you of the language, but that’s the best part. It’s so real and unrehearsed and quite amazing, none of that fluffy PR prepared stuff, this shit you can tell was straight from the dome and heart. Just straight comedy, watch and you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a quote “…banging the girl in the ass in the bathroom…”

New Yorkers, this show is a must catch today at Santos House Party. Thunderheist is not to be taken lightly, as this duo kills it every time and expel so much energy that you’ll be yelling for another Red Bull to keep you going. Don’t believe me? Well then read my concert review on Thunderheist here and see what you could be possibly missing. Oh and their track “Jerk It” (video below) was in the film The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, so congrats on them for getting that.

Doors open at 7pm, tickets are $10 advanced and $12 at the door.

In case any of y’all missed Tracy Morgan’s speech or Sacha Baron Cohen or hell Tina Fey’s speech where she told some innanet haters to go suck it. Here it is. Tina Fey’s speech was actually quite hilarious and I laughed like an asshole on Sacha Baron Cohen’s joke about Madonna and Guy Ritchie.

On a side note big ups to Slumdog Millionaire for cleaning up and big ups to Mickey Rourke for winning best actor for his role in The Wrestler, both these movies are the best that I’ve seen this year.

Although I’ve seen Pi, Requiem for a Dream, I still believe The Fountain is Darren Aronofsky’s masterpiece.  The Wrestler is Aronofsky’s latest film with Mickey Rourke taking the helm as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, an aged wrestler that lives for the thrill of his profession despite his aging body.  After watching the trailer, I thought Mickey Rourke really captured the role of seasoned wrestler who can’t give up the game, m.i.a. father/bff to Evan Rachel Wood’s character and comfort buddy to Marisa Tomei’s role.  The trailer shows no sign of visual effects like that of The Fountain.  Instead Aronofsky lets Rourke close the deal on this movie.  And with Clint Mansell behind the soundtrack, this should be a winner.
