Ellie Goulding.

YourcupateaLeave a comment

Ellie Goulding is what one would define as true talent. At the age 23 she has really accomplished a lot. Ellie is a singer, songwriter and guitarist who has created and released numerous hits. She is extremely popular amongst the U.K music scene, winning multiple awards for her immense talent.

Her lyrics are original and unique and she plays sensationally. She released her album Lights in March this year, which debuted at number one in the UK album charts. The album consists of hits such as “Starry eyed,” Guns and horses” and many more. Currently on a sell out tour across the United Kingdom she is now releasing a rendition of Elton John’s “Your Song” and a rerelease of her debut album named Bright Lights.

Ellie Goulding is truly inspiring, I would go as far as saying she is my favorite female solo artist. In an industry full of “plastic pop” it is nice to see a girl who writes and records all of her own music as well as producing faultless acoustic performances.

Batman v. Spiderman v. Superman

theycallmedameLeave a comment

Earlier today I was reminded of an essay question I was given last year. It read:

Who would win in a battle: Batman, Spiderman, or Superman?

I have no doubt in my mind that Batman would win.

I am also the only person in my world history class who thinks so.

Batman would easily take out Spiderman with a Batarang before Spiderman could even think to spin one of his wimpy little webs.

Then there is the debate about Superman beating Batman. But Superman Would. Not. Win.

Batman’s true identity (shh! don’t tell!), Bruce Wayne, is one of the wealthiest men in the entire world. Anyone who thinks he wouldn’t be able to get a large amount of Kryptonite at the snap of his fingers is sorely mistaken. And although Superman appears to be indestructible, he can be killed.

Batman would have the Kryptonite ready for when Superman came bursting through a wall or a billboard or a freaking chihuahua, and Superman would be weak and feeble. Then Batman would tie Superman tight with a Batrope or a Batlasso or a Batscarf or a Batsomething.

And even though Superman could potentially get free if he escaped the Kryptonite infested areas, he has morals, and therefore would be too much of a girl to kill Batman.

Batman, however, is prepared to be the bad guy if need be, and the bad guys tend to kill… Mercilessly.

So before Superman could get away from the Kryptonite, Batman would be a badass and kill him. Or harm him so badly that Superman would not be able to hurt Batman and then he would be too afraid of Batman to ever go near him again and so Superman would run to his Superfriends and cry Supertears and write down his feelings in his Superdiary.

The End.

Pam Anderson In India!

delhigossip1 Comment

Yesterday, US model and actress, Pam Anderson, arrived in Mumbai, India, to be a part of the reality TV show, Big Boss.

Anderson was much awaited by her fans who gathered around the airport to get a glimpse of her. However, the greetings did not make her feel welcome, instead they scared her.

Anderson, who is going to be on the show for only 3 days will be reportedly paid 5 million dollars. Yet, this celebrity had made quite a fuss about not being on the show alone without her personal secretary.

The show however, is not to keen on the issue as they cannot have non-celebrities on it.

Much to many of the Indian fan’s disappointment, Anderson will not be wearing her skimpy clothes on the show, a let down for those who expected her to wear the revealing bikini she wore in Baywatch.

However, fans are all “geared up” to see the actress on the show starting on 18th.

Music

smackyjackjack1 Comment
As a lover of music, I sometimes feel that the music I like is GREATLY under-appreciated.  Many of my fellow students listen to newer, lamer music.  Music like Kanye West and Deadmaus are polluting eardrums all over the world. The music I like comes from the classic genres like blues and old school country, not techno and hip-hop.
The greatest genre of the two is definitely blues. Everything came from the blues and musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed. The best modern blues songs are by the White Stripes. Country is a great genre as well. The newer country is much worse than the older stuff though. By older I mean musicians like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Jr.
Obviously though, not all new music is bad. As I said before, the White Stripes are amazing (even if Jack White has sold out). Bands like AC/DC and the Stones are classic. People need to remember where music came from in order to appreciate the music they like now.

Batman

The ever green love for Batman among both, guys and girls, has resulted in two Batman movies and a third one being filmed. While the first two made their mark in the box office, director Christopher Nolan is determined to make history with his third one.

Despite the buzz for the movie, viewers are dying to know who is the actress who is going to play the love interest for Batman’s alter ego, played  by Bruce Wayne, in this movie. In the last two movies, Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal did an excellent job playing the part. However, the director has taken a step further and decided to have two actresses in the movie.

The famous names being considered for the “Dark Knight Rises” include the A-list actresses of Hollywood. Among them: Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley.

While one of the actresses will be paired with the dashing actor, the other will play the evil mastermind. However, it is still a while before the decission will be made.

The movie which is due releases in June 2012 is waited by all its audience.

LCD. Easy as 123

The latest musical phenom i’ve stumbled upon is none other than James Murphy, the renaissance man known in the business as LCD Soundsystem. The man could play all of the instrumentals in his band if only he had enough hands. But what’s really spectacular about him is that he can rock them all harder than most everybody.

Most of his songs start out with a grungy, Pavement style couple of verses that bring “lo-fi” back in to your vocab. But just when you think that he’s another ambiguous modern indie artist, his true skills as a producer take over. This guy can hold his own with some of the greatest electronic music producers out there if he had the drive. Clearly what is important to him, however, is creating original music in one of the most distinctly vague genres there is.

Get Your Soulwax…ed?

Where to begin? This legendary Belgian DJ duo and their band headline every show they attend. Very few can create sounds as beautifully distant nor as overpoweringly raw in a DJ set, much less with a live band. The Dewaele brothers do just that.

The auxiliary percussion could only be described as janky in the best way possible. In other words, they just totally pull it off. I have no idea how else to describe this to you.

Their ubiquitous remixes add a distinctive and palpable energy to just about any song, and their album Much Against Everyone’s Advice has something that is sure to please ambient indie lovers as much as electronic connoisseurs. You’ll have to hear Soulwax yourself before you can truly understand why they are electronic music gods.

BetatraXx the Alpha Dog

There is nothing inappropriate about Gotta Dance Dirty. Believe it or not, it’s the undisputed largest and most respected blog in the west coast electronic music scene. So to kick off their new management label, they had to find someone spectacular. They had to find one of the craftiest, most cutting edge new DJ’s around. In my mind, they nailed it by signing Tim Nelson, aka BetatraXx.

Formerly Redlight, BetatraXx is the epitome of modern electro-house. Raised on Pro Tools, he is one of the first young DJ’s that hasn’t needed to make an awkward transition from a live band or turntables. Everything you hear from him is raw, unadulterated electronic music.

For the past four years he attended college on the east coast, and needed a fake ID to DJ at some of New York’s biggest clubs. Originally from Santa Barbara, Nelson recently finished up his first west coast tour. Under the new California based GDD label, it shouldn’t be your last chance to see him in the Golden State.

In Gotta Dance Dirty’s recent exclusive interview, he had this to say:
“The West coast is unmatched. Love it out here. And you guys are the center of good music. What more could I want?”
Couldn’t agree more, sir.

She’s a Beauty

yrreskrapLeave a comment

She is a beauty. Her skin is a flawless, radiant white. Sometimes she is shy and shields her lips but sometimes she is bold, and opens her mouth; a striking red is revealed. She is all looks and she is all brains. She can make precise calculations and she will never be lost. She is a good listener, very obedient, and will do what she is told. But boy oh boy, can she sing. She can belt out notes at the top of her lungs, and she can hum a tune. Her voice is one that makes her peers quiver with envy. She is very athletic, she can run fast and she can run with grace. She is talented. She is perfect. She is the car of my dreams.

BMW 335i red leather

The BMW 335i hardtop convertible is the car for me. Just the other day, I was setting up an appointment for my behind-the-wheel test at the DMV, and I was thinking about my future car. Only one car came to mind.

A year ago, while I was walking through a BMW dealership, a certain hardtop convertible had caught my eye and stole my heart.

Kindled Spirit

People all around the world are raving about the Kindle or Kindle for iPad. They get unbelievably excited about reading a book off a bright LED screen, and it makes me want to cry.

Yes, the Kindle is helping reduce the amount of trees being cut down for paper, but the batteries they use will eventually die. Those dead batteries, when thrown away, will be sent to a landfill or be buried underneath some great big hill, or be disposed of by shooting them far away into the freaking space-time continuum.
