Movie Monday

What day is it today? Monday, thats right, it's time for another installment of The Reals, Movie Monday.



This week we have a short film, Asshole. No not you, thats the title of the film, "Asshole". For anyone that is a abit reader of Vice Magazine, Gavin McInnes is a familier name. He was one of the co-founders and resident editors and all around "bad boy" of the magazine. After close to 10 years with the magazine, in late 2007. Gavin annouced through a post on his blog, stating that he would no longer be a creative mind behind the magazine, nor associte his name with the "Vice" brand or his famed "Do's & Dont's. He later commented that it was due to "creative diffrences among editors and writers of Vice. It didnt mean he would be lost in the world. No, it ment he would open up his own production companies and set on project independently.

Since hes been doing stand up comedy. With "live" Do's and Dont's. He also worked on a small documentary in partership with Netflix. (Written by: Jesus Flores)

Phoenix




I've been wanting to do a spotlight on this band for a while now, I first heard of these guys back in 03'
When MTV2 was playing there video for "If I ever feel better" off of there debut album, "United". To be honest, I lost track of these guys for a while. Unites was def. a classic in the indie community. Recently, the guys from Paris, have been getting alot of attention. From playing on Letterman, to having there single "1901" as Cadillacs, tv advertisments. Yes, Cadillac..


There newest release, "Wolfgang Amadeus" is definetly putting them on the map, Ive yet to hear any of there album singles on the local "alternative stations". May It be that local or American stations just dont pay attention to the international scene? Whatever it might be, this year I predicts Phoenix will be one of this years hottest bands.

Late Night Battle Wars


  If your a late night television watcher, your more than likely watching Conan Obrein & Jay Leno on NBC and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC. This past week it was announced that Jay Leno would go back to the Tonight Show, booting Conan off to, well, who knows as of now. This has created alot of buzz among people whove never even seen the show. For the die hard Conan fans, this is a total shock. Last night, Jimmy Kimmel was guest for Jay Leno's 10 at 10, Where he asks his guest 10 questions and the person answers. With the situtation at hand, it wasnt suprising what went down..

You can see what happened by clicking the You Tube below.

"Night by Night" Chromeo



Manchester Orchestra Tour Dates 2010 (Announced last night)





    All Manchester Orchestra fans got a heads up last night thru of the 2010 U.S Tour dates.I usually dont get this involved in the "alternative" bands, but, Manchester is definatly bringing something new to the table. There single "I Got Friends" got alot of play on the local Q101 alternative station, and with there newest single out "Shake it out" they are def. going to get even more exposure, and fortify "Mean Everything to Nothing" as an Indie Rock Classic. I myself like the what they call "album songs" like, "The Only One". If you are now beginning to hear abot them this is your chance to catch them live! For $14, you cant go wrong.

(The album is available on MP3 thru
 Amazon.com for 2.99!)


They will be live at The Metro
March 23
Tickets are $14
