This is it...

First film premiere at Leicester Square, quite exciting I must say. Well, what better epic movie event than Michael Jackson's "This Is It!"... It was amazing, red carpet and all! Had to shove my way through crowds of people so that I could get a glimpse of the stars... At the end of the night, I had autographs by a member of JLS and a member of Westlife (haha, boy bands forever!), and had met several amazing fun people!:)

You could feel MJ's love and the love for MJ uniting everyone! It was truly a unique evening... Once again, going for an adventure turned into a glorious venture:)

And here's one brilliant, true fan of Michael's, Martin Kamga:


Still haven't seen the film itself though. That's due Nov. 2!

Dizzee Rascal @ BBC Electric Proms

Before I go back to studying for a not-at-all-exciting exam tomorrow, I wanted to share this video of Dizzee's epic live performance at the Camden Roundhouse on Oct. 21, 2009. Yeah, I was there and it was unbelievably awesome! So go bonkers, everyone!! :D

Wild West

Kanye, of course, who else?
Swiftly stumbled from the brightest star in the universe to the biggest douche in the universe, to quote P!nk.
Why?
Cause he had a big ego. Too big. And it just had to all come down to the EMA's and Beyonce's best video of all times. Why, Kanye, why? Couldn't you control that crazy person inside you? Couldn't you tie up that wild ego of yours? No.
Result: EPIC FAIL. And gazillions of negative PR stories. Too many indeed.
Consequences: Oooh, tours cancelled - no sales; and the little bit where the entire world kinda hates you... :( Sad.
What to do? How to redeem yourself?
KILL THE DAEMON WITHIN!!! (and make a movie about it with Spike Lee)

SUMMARY OF KANYE'S "WE WERE ONCE A FAIRYTALE":
6min30secs of 'blah blah blah, something in a club, blah blah'
Then Kanye gracefully puking in the bathroom.
Then him technically gutting himself, also quite gracefully.
AWWWW, cute daemon!!! :D
Awwww... :( Sad that the cutie died and Kanye didn't.
Philosophical ending leaves you ponder all the questions in life. NOT.

So yeah, here's the film. It's almost worth 10 minutes of your life.

Brain Swap

Interesting little idea... Just a tad creepy... but haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to see the world through somebody else's perspective?

And I'm addicted to...

..the following websites, in the following order, apparently, seen as Google Chrome likes to keep track of that... I'm glad there's no statistic as to how much time I spend online, cause that would be disturbing, probably. Either way, I just wanted to point out that today Tweeter officially surpassed Facebook as the number one website. I don't know if that's a cause for celebration or distress, hmm. Cause Twitter is a bit limiting in terms of what you can say and how you can say it, but it's totally the best site to be if you wanna be the first to get updates directly from the stars (and possibly their assistants/fans). It's quite exciting! Favorite bit is still reading Calvin's tweets and random rants about food and what not.

Anyway... now you know what pages I tend to refresh more-so than others. Call me an addict - you probably won't be far from the truth. ;)

Epic Weekend

Surprise visits home are always amazing :) Well, this one was even more epic than ever!!! Not only did I get to hang out with all my favorite people, but also to party it up with the stars - all thanks to City TV and the Loop Live concert:)
Kelly Rowland, Guru Josh Project, Inna, Eddy Wata, Tom Boxer, Vessy Boneva, Katerine, Illmate and more! Great fun backstage during the concert, then a totally amazing afterparty right into the wee hours of the night... Ah, the memories... There's nothing more I could have wished for :)

Here are some pics:
1) Glitter and awe during Guru Josh's opening act:


2) With Guru Josh Project @ afterparty


3) With Big friends (and colleagues:) Iliyan and Julie:)


4) With lovely Inna @ afterparty


And of course, song of the evening (and a rather touching backstage video, complete with a proper amount of loud out-of-tune singing:)


That's it.

Hooooowwl!



A completely different take on homepage design - savage, but sexy. Shakira, the She-Wolf, is on the prowl for something big. She's the Alpha female of her pack.. of one.. but still.
I can now say that I'm happily howling along to her song. And while I love the song, I positively get freaked out by the cage act video... Hmm...

Yes, she certainly did something 'very interesting', but I'm afraid she could have totally dislocated her shoulder or broken her spine in the process.

... and now ...

Now I should technically be sleeping. It's almost 2a.m. Pretty early for my standards, but still, I was really planning on sleeping tonight. No. Instead I'm online. (Oh, I messed up my entire schedule when I took a 3-hour nap between 7:30p.m. and 10:30p.m., so now I probably won't fall asleep till 7a.m., at which point it will be silly to even go to bed. End of no-sleep rant aside)

This week the talk of the online world has been the brand new, supposedly amazing Google Wave. So here's a fun video telling what it is.

It's still invitation-only, but you can kindly request one on the Google Wave website.

In an unrelated story, the Capital Jingle Bell Ball featuring so many amazing artists like Lady Gaga, Pixie Lott, Taio Cruz, JLS, Tinchy Stryder, The Noisettes, Lily Allen and so on... has been SOLD OUT in ONE HOUR!! WHAT?! I was thinking it would sell out fast, but ONE HOUR?! Wow... I think even if I did have money to purchase a ticket this Monday, I would have still missed the early buying frenzy. Kinda like Glastonbury Fest 2010 - tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. Crazy.

I'm listening to Capital FM now, with Dave Kelly calling possibly every single tune 'mint' (ie 'awesome') and commenting on the excessive whiteness of Cheryl Cole's teeth in her latest video. And here's a new-ish song by Agnes; it's mint too, in case you were wondering.


And a few other songs, which are minty fresh...
1) Dirtee Cash *oh yeah, it rhymes!* by Dizzee Rascal - that boy is absolutely adored here in the UK. And for a good reason too. Dizzee's got the right stuff!

2) Oopsy Daisy by Chipmunk - you could probably assume he's a pretty young dude considering the joyfully teenage title of the song. He's 18. And that's a good song. I mean, it's gotta be, if it's the UK's official number 1! Kudos!

3) Flashback by Calvin Harris - pure genius, that Calvin! He's put on this amazing album (Ready for the Weekend) while putting on an amazing tour as well! Bravo, bravo!


The end.

Did You Know? (4.0)

curious little video about the ever-changing world we live in... from a mostly socio-economic-technological point of view. enjoy.

Calvin Harris Tweet of the Day

...and possibly 'New Expression of the Week'

Spark It Up!

Just a quick one on Jordin, who is amazing! I am currently addicted to "Battlefield" and "SOS (Let the Music Play)"... and yes, totally just let the music play! :)
YouTube is being uncooperative and does not allow me to embed the videos for these two songs, so instead, I'm putting up the image on Sparks's official home page (which is quite cute-awesomely designed:)

Rocking Graphics

Bulgarian band Ostava did this nifty little video for their new song "Rock N Roll Song Designer".

I love stop-motion graphics... yet I can't help but notice somewhat of a resemblance between Ostava's video and this one made by Outlandish for their awesome song "Rock All Day"

...and they probably got the idea from an earlier music vid, but it's all good, I guess, as long as all those copyrights are paid up properly:)Though, okay, in this case it's just the 'book/artsy' motif that's similar; oh and personally I prefer the Outlandish approach to their clip. But kudos to all! :)

the things that make my day...

... are totally random... in this case, it's MTV's twitter profile background.


Yes, pathetic and self-centered, I must say... Feel free to judge me :P
