Um... WTF??? This is a question for our Europeans friends...what the hell is Movits?

They were on The Colbert Report tonight.

TeeJay · 28 Jul 09 :: 08:55

I can't watch the videos at work right now, but I've never heard the name Movits. The vids on YouTube look like there's Scandinavian writing next to it, so maybe Maria will know (though it looks more like Swedish or Norwegian--pretty sure it's not Finnish).

warbe, i really like that list. i am not a fan of making " top 100 something ". i believe there no such thing as the best when it comes to art dince it has to do so much with how it is perceived by every individual. but i like the list and i would like to listen to anything that is on that. and also i am so happy to see nine inch nails- closer, since i only discovered it recently and developed a fixation with that song.

Warbee · 29 Jul 09 :: 01:25

Irina -- I completely agree with the idea that with art there is no best. But i think everyone has their own personal top 100. This is just a tradition and i love it. Because the list is usually AWESOME regardless if i agree with the order or not. This list got me loving the foo fighters again. Never really stopped, but yeah Dave Grohl is SO amazing! That and Powderfinger too. Bernard Fanning is .....wow. Is he just an Australian thing or is Powderfinger known by other countries?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Jul 09 :: 01:30

I like Dave Grohl a lot too. One of my favorite things about him is how funny he is. I also think he's cute. I don't like NIN much though, especially the video for Closer. I think it's just really, really sick. I don't like having those kinds of images in my head. Foo Fighters video are much more my taste.

irina · 29 Jul 09 :: 02:37

deb, i totally agree about the nin video. i heard the song before i saw the vid and i really find the song hot.
i will try to find songs by Powderfinger . maybe i know them i don't know i do.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Jul 09 :: 06:45

OK, I've caught snippets of Silversun PIckups songs on XM here and there in passing, but they never struck me. Tonight, on Letterman, they effin' shredded! Where have they been all my life? I've already bought that CD Swoon in my head, but I'll have to find it used to afford it. I love a chick bassist and the one I saw tonight had a guitar strap with aliens on it, and she was wearing a butterfly pendant --- it's like she was speaking right to me. Hee. And the drummer??? WOW! Letterman even singled him out. I'm sold. One damn song and I'm sold.

Warbee · 29 Jul 09 :: 06:51

Great review of a Zappa Plays Zappa show...

Zappa 'plays' Zappa impeccably
Dweezil and gang bring Frank's music to life for the Lowcountry
by Doug Walters
Zappa Plays Zappa
Charleston Music Hall
Mon. July 27
Dweezil Zappa brought his phenomenal Frank Zappa tribute show "Zappa Plays Zappa" to Charleston on Monday night and completely destroyed the Charleston Music Hall. If you weren't there, go ahead and kick yourself in the ass because you missed what is sure to be one of — if not the best show of the year.
For over two hours, the band delivered an inspired performance. Concentrating mostly from late-'60s to mid-'70s Frank stuff, ZPZ was incredibly tight and precise. The Music Hall is one of the best places to see any live performance, especially one of this caliber. It sounds great, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Such was the case Monday night.
There was a good mix of people of all ages in this festive audience. Of course, the die-hard Frank fans were there, but there were also a lot of rookies in attendance, which one of the main goals of ZPZ. Many heavy hitters from the Charleston music scene peppered the crowd, undoubtedly taking notes. I got the feeling there was going to be a lot of wood-shedding going on after the show (myself included).
Everything was first-class — the mix, song selection, performance, musicality, energy, and audience appreciation. But if you know Frank Zappa music, this is exactly what you'd expect. The only things lacking may have been the humor and delightfully insane personality of all the characters found in Frank's wild, wonderful bands through the years. But since it was clear that the only agenda was to honor the music and let it do the talking, we didn't miss the circus stuff at all. All the technical chops and the burning grooves were right on time. The crowd knew it. The band knew it. And Dweezil was all-smiles the whole night.
The band came out strong right out of the gate and hit hard with "Apostrophe" (Apostrophe (')), complete with a wicked bass solo from Pete Griffin. They segued from "Montana" (Over-Nite Sensation) into three songs from Roxy & Elsewhere, and they rocked all the way through to the very last "Om Shanti" of the show's closer, "Cosmik Debris" (Apostrophe(')).
High points of the two-hour set included a very apropos "Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy" (Bongo Fury); a special dedication of "Peaches En Regalia" (Hot Rats) for a six-year-old Zappa fan in the audience; singer Ben Thomas' improvised interpretive ballet that found him running wildly through the audience and doing a series of his version of what might loosely could be called cartwheels to "The Black Page #2" (Baby Snakes); and an amazing section of musical improv, consisting of Dweezil doing Frank's trademark "mad composer" routine during "A Pound For A Brown On The Bus" (Uncle Meat). Thomas' improvised vocal solo here — complete with audience participation — was very impressive and seemed to win the approval of Dweezil as well.
Keyboardist/saxophonist/vocalist Scheila Gonzales' technique and mannerisms were much appreciated. And, of course, Dweezil's playing and overall "Frankness" won the favor of everyone. (It's almost scary how much he nails all that stuff).
The encore brought even more fireworks. The band was happy to return for an appreciative audience that could no longer contain itself and let loose, dancing and singing along to the crowd-pleasers, "Yellow Snow" (Apostrophe(')), "San Ber'dino" (One Size Fits All), "Willie The Pimp" (Hot Rats), and the evening's final number, "I'm The Slime" (Over-Nite Sensation). The band graciously stuck around afterward, signed autographs from the stage-front, and chatted with the enamored crowd.
On a break from their tour with Dream Theater, where FZF usually opens all the shows with a short hour-and-change set, they seemed to enjoy being able to stretch out and really play. Especially for such an enthusiastic crowd. "It's always cool to play a full show," rhythm guitarist Jamie Kime told me after the show. "And Charleston is a great crowd ... This was a very special show for us." It was obvious that we felt the same way. As local musician and booking agent Bryan Mahanes so eloquently put it, "I haven't felt that way about a show since I was a teenage girl!"
Frank would have been pleased.

1. Apostrophe
2. Montana
3. Village Of The Sun

There's this awesome David Garrett concert from Berlin on PBS right now. He's so great.

60? Seriously!!! WOW

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Aug 09 :: 06:21

Our buddy Sean hanging out with the awesome Weird Al Yankovic...

Jacksbrokenheart · 15 Aug 09 :: 06:16

A few of my favorite artists are Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Brand New, David Bowie, the Misfits, Every Time I Die, the Beatles...

I saw a lot of talk about 30STM early in this thread, I'm pretty into them too they're fantastic live. Here's a true story about the time I met Jared Leto...
I saw him, said "Jared!" he looked, I touched his arm squealed and ran away.
So...smoothe...

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Aug 09 :: 04:06

The Beatles are amazing! My dad is one of their biggest fans. One of my top 5 favorite musicians ever and so is 30 Seconds To Mars. You're really lucky to have met Jared Leto. He's my other favorite actor besides Chris. I have all of Chris's movies and all of Jared's.

Jacksbrokenheart · 16 Aug 09 :: 04:12

I was raised on the Beatles and I remember falling in love with Jared when I was a really little kid and watched My So Called Life with my older sister.
This is slightly off topic but Have you seen Across the Universe? The musical based entirely off of the Beatles work? It was pretty creative, I really enjoyed it. If you haven't, and you don't mind cover songs you should check out the sound track.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Aug 09 :: 04:20

My So Called Life is one of my favorite shows and I've watched it at least 5 times. The show is what made me a Jared fan.

I have the soundtrack for Across The Universe and the 2 disc dvd. = )

Jacksbrokenheart · 16 Aug 09 :: 04:30

Yesssss so do I! I love the cover of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Aug 09 :: 04:51

Great avatar choice, Samantha. You know Chris Lowell took that pic, right?

Jacksbrokenheart · 16 Aug 09 :: 05:40

Thanks! Yep! When I stumbled across that picture in your gallery back when it was first posted I pretty much fell in love with it. It has a very classicly sexy sorta James Dean vibe going on with it.
I only just got a chance to make the avatar and upload it because this is the first time I've posted from my computer, usually I'm on my iphone.

Ah, I see. How long have you been lurking, girl? Save me from repeating anything unnecessarily, please.

Jacksbrokenheart · 16 Aug 09 :: 06:23

Few years now! haha don't worry not in a creepy way, I just liked the gallery a lot and enjoyed all the updated news and such you girls posted. Especially during the whole Fanboys saga...I checked back at least once a week to see any updates on when I could have finally seen that movie. (I'm a Star Wars dork, a Chris dork, a Sam Huntington dork AND a Jay Baruchel dork...it was the best movie ever made about anything ever.)
