While i was working on the new comic today, i found an interesting band along the way, two actually. The first i want to show you is The Resignators, from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. They are a reggae-esque third wave ska band. Prominentally, they use brass, and something that sets them apart from other bands is their location. Usually, when we think ska, we think either jamaica, england, USA(east) spanish speaking countries or sometimes japan. However, most people dont think of australia, but it seems to be gaining some fans, and for me, thats good, more ska=more good music.

The other band i wanted to mention was Skunk Allstars these guys are a lot more upbeat, and cheerful than the previous band. they use more distortion in guitar, and usually play at a faster tempo, these guys also have more songs, and seem to have a bit of swing to them. (these guys are from somewhere on earth, to the best of my knowledge, since there are multiple sources, claiming multiple locations)

Movie Reviews: Wall-E
14 April 2009, 19:17
Well, i finally watched wall-e, and i must say, i quite enjoyed this film. the environments and the dynamic lighting used was incredible. The characters were amazing. The plot, astonishing. What can i say that hasn’t been said before?
One thing that really caught my eye was how lighting and pallet changed along with the movie, having a somewhat more, i guess, romantic feel to it through parts of the movie, and more mechanical and cold feel through others. The characters, despite being robots, felt human. There isn’t really much i can say that is fresh and new, anything positive about the film has already been said, and nothing negative truly stand out or comes to mind. I personally liked the depiction of future humans, all of them obese and deformed, with most not even able to walk. the film shows a route which humanity is taking. imagine this as a romantic or classical style epic. Honestly, i loved this movie, you should go rent it or buy it. (ok, bootleg it, but i didnt say you should.)
I definitely give it my seal of approval. Watch it, ohh, and by the way, here is a little something that you can get off of wall-e.com .
