Dream Theater announces Mike as the new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike.

It’s official, Dream Theater announces Mike as their new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike. That’s Mike Mangini who replaces Mike Portnoy.

The audition process was documented with title “The Spirit Carries On” and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/roadrunnerrecords.

For those in Germany can view the videos here:

For sure the rest of the band would have no problem calling their new drummer the wrong name. It has always been Mike. Eddie Trunks knew this for a while.

South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season, the controversy continues.

For those who are expecting an uncensored version of South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season might be disappointed.

First, you would instantly noticed that the packaging did not say “Uncensored” anywhere on the packaging. South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season was the first to be released uncensored. Both Twelfth and Thirteenth Season DVD and Blu-Ray were also uncensored. So, what about the Fourteenth Season?

Second, there’s a sticker that said “Includes All Episodes!” on the Complete Fourteenth Season packaging. Fans are concerned that both episode “200” and “201” would not be included in the set. As a matter of fact both episode “200” and “201” are still not available on iTunes Store and Amazon Instant Download. Well, “All Episodes” are included but Episode “201” is heavily censored just like the broadcast version. Adding insult to the injury, the commentary by Trey Parker and Matt Stone is also censored with long beeps. According to PArker and Stone, Comedy Central is the one behind the censorship and might not release the Complete Season if Episode “201” was uncensored.

More on this.

South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season – all beeps are included.

So, you are a South Park Fan? You must be angry about Episode 201 and all those unnecessary beeps. Well, you must be thrilled to know that all the beeps are included in South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season DVD and Blu-ray.

You must have wondered why.

Well, apparently Comedy Central would not release the uncensored episode in any form as Trey Parker and Matt Stone have explained.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Just because you can easily download the episodes from sites such as SouthParkFiles.com, it doesn’t mean Comedy Central say it is right.

Foo Fighters, Live From 606.

I went t see Foo Fighters – Back and Forth screening on April 5th, 2011 followed by a live performance broadcasted in 3-D. Just in case you missed it, you can watch the performance in good old fashion non 3-D. The good news is that you don’t have to wear the 3-D glasses.

Foo Fighters. Live From 606.
Foo Fighters perform Wasting Light in its entirety.

Hesher

Trailer for Hesher the movie is now available for viewing.

Let’s see:

  • Movie title in the style of classic Metallica logo, check.
  • Metallica’s “Battery” in the soundtrack, check.
  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt, check.
  • Natalie Portman, check.

According to Blabbermouth.net, Metallica gave the filmmaker permission to use their music for the movie.

For some reasons the promo poster reminds me of certain Metallica record.

St. Anger, anyone?
