  • Curt@!n$: Mode

    // September 18th, 2009 // No Comments » // Music


    l_a707b2b47fbd4d6b906c87d330416155Six months past its debut on Levi Maestro’s web show, Maestro Knows, Curt@!n$’s “Mode” has finally been released! During the episode, Curt@!n$  plays a snippet of the song for Levi. While Maestro bops his head, Curt@!n$ sings along and flashes his Air Yeezys to the rhyme: “I rock things that aren’t out yet, cant find this at no outlet…”


    “Mode” is different then most of Curt@!n$’s other work, but the entertaining song will no doubt receive its fair share of plays from speakers of Curt@!n$ fans across the globe. Purchase the song on iTunes or, instead, download it here via 2dopeboyz. For the enthusiasts out there, check out the original Maestro Knows episode below.


  • Blink in Black

    Blink was dressed in all black on the night of the 29th in Hartford Connecticut—rockin’ out the Dodge Music Center as they mourned the death of their good friend DJ AM. Whether the wardrobe choice was a reflection of sorrow or in the spirit of their rebel image remains a mystery, but a message was nonetheless conveyed. The band opened with a classic “Dumpweed” display followed by a good number of songs from their newest [self-titled] album, including: “Violence,” “Always,” “I Miss You,” “Feeling This” and “Asthenia.” Between Tom’s obscene gestures, a moment of silence and Mark’s memorable tears the band still found time for some classics—most notably “Don’t Leave Me,” “All the Small Things,” and of course their vintage closer: “Dammit.”


    Despite the sadness of the group, Blink managed to put on an excellent show. It’s clear the boys are established veterans of the pop-punk scene—even having openly admitted their music to be, for the most part, a middle-school-adolescent escapade. The night was a black one for Blink 182, but hopefully the group can find peace of mind in the death of their dear friend as they trek forth with their westward tour.

  • Trailer: Inception

    inception


    Christopher Nolan is back with his first film since the epic that was The Dark Knight. And it seems that the eeriness we’ve come to expect from Nolan will once again be a driving force. Titled Inception, the trailer is marked by Nolan’s notorious slow zooms and dramatic chords. But all we really know at this point is that the story takes place in a city, Leonardo will be making an appearance, and something about a dradle. Interesting. July 16, 2010 is the date. Expect to be teased a bit more in the months to come.
