Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Official Trailer
While the subject matter at hand is certainly no fun for anyone, the latest in Judd Apatow's long list of Hollywood hits has the potential to rake in even more cash for his sure-to-be bursting bank account. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a comedy starring Kirsten Bell (Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl) and that guy from How [...]

From the vault: Foundation (band)

Dec 19, 2007, 9:04am Sound the Sirens Magazine
Being back in Indonesia has given me the chance to delve into all my old music that has for a while now, sat in big giant boxes collecting dust. While I'm here, I plan to pull out some old CDs and share tracks from some of my favorite releases of the past 10 years or [...]

Best of 2007: Mere Theory

Dec 18, 2007, 9:51am Sound the Sirens Magazine
While a lot of the Australian bands I've talked about in 2007 (In Fiction, Horsell Common and so forth) tend to approach their craft with a more straight forward appeal, Adelaide's Mere Theory draw more from America's Midwest indie/emo scene that rose to popularity during the 90s. I'm not sure how happy they would be [...]

Leatherheads Trailer (Official)
I don't think we've seen George Clooney ham it up on-screen since the Coen Brothers' acclaimed O Brother, Where Art Thou? And after a slew of serious flicks (and all those Ocean films), Clooney returns to a less than serious role as one of the leads in Leatherheads; a drama/comedy about the early days of [...]

And the last movie I saw?

Dec 17, 2007, 6:45am Sound the Sirens Magazine
While I'm still waiting to connect my home internet here in Indonesia, here is a quick flash on some of the recent films I've seen: Shoot 'Em Up Absolutely insane all-guns-blazing action flick starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci. The bullet-to-dialogue ratio is about 1,299,000 to 1, but still, it's over-the-top action that would [...]

Reconnecting?

Dec 15, 2007, 10:49am Sound the Sirens Magazine
Back in Indonesia right now after being away for another year, and it is as much surprising as it is not, how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. Musically, there is now a great abundance of what would have been perceived as the "underground" of American youth music- the Hot Topicalization [...]

Dustin Kensrue - "Pistol" music video
It's that time of year again where hosts of music related publications and personal sites start talking about the "best" of the year. Subjective of course, but always a fun read for the most part- we've done many such features in the past. This year however, is a little different as it'll be more personal [...]

One of rock n' roll's great lost bands? Meet the Foxboro Hottubs- a rollicking mix of boogie beats, surf-influenced riffs, and the great liberating aura of rock n' roll! Little has been released about the band thus far, but they have made three of their songs available for preview on their MySpace page- all of [...]

Semi-Pro (2008) - Official Trailer
Will Ferrell tends to be hit or miss ... nothing really in-between, just really good or plain awful. Thankfully, his basketball-themed goof-off Semi-Pro looks more Anchorman than it does Bewitched, which means that people might actually leave the theatre without the desire to commit murder. In fact, it looks pretty much exactly like Anchorman in [...]

Indie rockers Hot Hot Heat have revealed the new video for the track "Harmonicas & Tambourines." The track comes from their recently released Happiness Ltd. release, the follow-up to 2005's Elevator. That album, coincidentally enough, landed in our feature detailing the most disappointing albums of 2005- titled appropriately, "The Bottom Of the Barrel". It's fun, [...]

Remembering The Promise Ring

The Promise Ring - "Stop Playing Guitar"
Derek's review of Maritime's Heresy & the Hotel Choir touched upon their historical lineage to one of emo's most talked-about and loved bands, The Promise Ring. It was almost inevitable then, that I dug up my old Promise Ring records for a round of nostalgic listening- and as their work continues to age, it is [...]

Universal limits streaming songs of its artists

In a move that was apparently implemented months ago, Universal Music has adopted a policy of limiting the length of its artists' streaming music on sites not Universal related. The initial story came when, relative unknown Colbie Caillat wrote a letter to fans telling them her MySpace songs had to be limited to 90-second previews [...]
