Test

Did this work?

Where's all the good new music gone?

So currently there is pretty much no new music coming out that I find remotely good enough to post alongside such previous gems as LMFAO or The Presets...

So I've been doing alot of design reading lately and more film reading/watching.

Gonna post some interesting things I've scoped out around the net the next couple days.

K.I.T

Street Walker

This is what she wears on the street...gotta love her.

Pepsi = "Optimism"

Click image for larger view
Pepsi has gone and done something pretty bold and initiated a complete overhaul of the "PepsiCo" brand family.

Many people dont know that soft drink sales continue to drop every year as the U.S and the rest of the world move away from carbonated beverages. so to fight this downturn Pepsi has decided now is the perfect time to "Refresh Everything".

I gotta say while the rest of the internet community is hating on the designs, I like them. I think the plan to alter such an iconic logo is bold and sometimes a step in the right direction means looking beyond iconic status and being able to evolve when the need is there.

Pepsi has been lagging behind Coca Cola for the last couple of years as opposed to the 90's and early 2000's when Pepsi was in full force.

The new "smile" is a nice twist on the classic "wave" logo and the clean simple modern lines are exactly what the world is in right now. They say they want to tap smart youth with this look at it indeed is very unassuming and conversational enough to fit that description.

We will see where this takes them.

Before Kill the Lights...it was a Blackout.

Yes we know this cover is hideous...whatever move on
While the rest of the world marvels over "Circus" selling over 500+ thousand copies to become #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts...

"Blackout" Brtiney's previous album that was released October 2007, has re entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 198 (no doubt thanks to the "Britney Boost" from Circus' release). Selling 5,000 copies just last week.

"Blackout" was infinitely a better album than "Circus". Blackout showed Britney working with cutting edge producers willing to push her into a edgier sexier experimental place, while "Circus" has Britney running back to a safer sound of old more akin to "Oops I did it again" era music.

For all you "Blackout" Lovers out there..expect to see many songs from that album performed on "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" this coming March when it launches. Britney herself has stated she cant wait to support songs from that album so it will "feel like tons of new material" on tour.

For those of you who havent purchased "Blackout"...go get it. It's 9.99 somewhere in the world. The whole album flows and you never wanna skip a track, it will keep you moving.

Twilight's "New Moon" looking grim...

So I'm sure everyone has seen or heard about the infamous "Twlight". The vampire movie that came out of nowhere and became one of the biggest phenomenons of 2008.

Well the movie was such a success that the studio Summit Entertainment is moving the sequel "New Moon" on the fast track.

"New Moon" has officially been given the release date of November 20Th 2009.

That's right...2009. Filming is set to begin in March 2009 and Pre-Production is already underway in Vancouver. Now here is where it gets tricky.

"Twlight" Director Catherine Hardwicke will not be returning to the newly minted franchise, early last week when the news broke many news magazines believed it to be because she and the studio were at odds on the set of "Twlight" and that Hardwicke was "difficult".

But in a joint statement this week, Summit and Hardwicke announced that she would not be returning because her schedule just does not allow for her to return to "New Moon".

Many believed this to be a paycheck cover up, but given all the news that has broken since with the release date, one cant help but notice that Hardwicke is stepping away from a hectic next year because of a studio that seems determined to get every last penny from the franchise, regardless of the what affect it has on the films.

New Reports speculate that the film has been offered to Chris Weitz ,Director of "American Pie"and last years "The Golden Compass". Make with that news what you will.

New rumors circulating as well reveal that the actor who plays "Jacob"(Taylor Lautner),the native American best friend of the heroine "Bella"(played by Kristin Stewart) may be recast for an older looking actor. In the sequel story "New Moon" Jacob and Bella develop a strong bond and relationship while Edward(played by Robert Pattinson)is away. Many fans consider Bella and Jacob's storyline just as integral as that of hers with Edward.

As a person with great love for films and screenwriting, all of these developments place a dark cloud over the new "Twlight" franchise. We will see where all this develops and hopefully for the studio they don't make a wrong move, because Twlight has spawned up to 3 sequels. That equals to lots of money.

And for the record I HAVE YET TO SEE TWLIGHT.
