Crafts For A Cause Here’s an excerpt from the Crafts For Cause Tumblr ….
My name is Binki Shapiro, and I play in the band Little Joy. In an effort to raise money for the relief efforts in earthquake-devastated Haiti, I’ve rallied a bunch of artists to contribute custom-made artwork — t-shirts, tote bags and other personalized items — for the Crafts For A Cause auction. All proceeds will go to Artists for Peace and Justice, an amazing charitable organization founded by my dear friend Paul Haggis…
the Auction starts Monday March 15th and includes original art from various artists such as:
Vampire Weekend
Natalie Portman
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Spike Jonze
Kings of Leon
Liv Tyler
Mark Ronson
Drew Barrymore
Fleet Foxes
…and much more.
The auction begins at 8am on March 15th. Visit the auction website HERE

World Café Live interviews Fanfarlo.
Although they are a mixed lot when it comes to nationalities they all live in London.
Check out their interview and music hosted by David Dye.
Unsigned Wednesday: Voxhaul Broadcast
March 10, 2010
Voxhaul Broadcast: Although their MySpace page says “Unsigned” I find that hard to believe. These guys are too good to be overlooked for this long. Regardless if they are signed or not I suggest you check out their rock and soul sound and you will be hooked for sure.
They will be playing as SXSW so if you are going don’t miss them!

OMG I know, I know but look at this thing, could you just die!!! I had to go with cavity causing sweet for once. Reminds me of a baby Esther but without the Mohawk.
Random Thought of the Day
March 6, 2010
When 2 guys are having an argument and one tells the other “S**K MY D**K!!!” It really just comes off as an angry invitation if you ask me.

Who said Golf was a safe sport. There’s a cactus attack waiting around every corner!
As I’ve stated before, although I am not professional on any subject I do consider myself an authority on all topics. I’m taking the opportunity to share with you my predictions on who will win in the Oscar race this year. My choices are based on a well thought out process and I take into consideration not only performance but how annoying the individual may be, how hot the actors are, level of cheesiness, how many hankies I used if it was a tear-jerker or how many LOL’s it caused if it was a comedy. My winning choices are highlighted in BLUE.
Best Picture
Avatar James Cameron and Jon Landau
My Opinion: Basically this was Pocahontas in blue and I thought it was pretty dumb and Disney should sue.
The Blind Side Gil Netter, Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson
My Opinion: I thought that this was a good movie but a little too heavy on the heroism. It was a pretty little package with not enough rough patches.
District 9 Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham
This movie not only grossed me out but bored me to tears. It was also one of 3 movies I saw this year with the human transformer theme in it. Not original.
An Education Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey
I did not see this but I will say it’s good because my girl crush Carrie Mulligan is in it.
The Hurt Locker Kathryn Bigelow, Mark Boal, Nicolas Chartier and Greg Shapiro
This movie was moving and intense and should win the Oscars.
Inglourious Basterds Lawrence Bender
Really loved this movie, completely original great acting, hot guys, lots of LOLs. Highly recommend!
Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire Lee Daniels, Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness
This was a very moving story about a neglected daughter raped by her father. Practically a whole box of hankies for this tear-jerker.
A Serious Man Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
I have tried 2 times to watch this movie but there’s problems with the video. So far it looks hysterical but I’ll have to get back to you on that.
Cute movie, animations rarely win.
Up in the Air Daniel Dubiecki, Ivan Reitman and Jason Reitman
Really liked this movie. Thought it was sweet and simple but George annoys the crap out of me.
Actor in a Leading Role
Jeff Bridges Crazy Heart
Hell YES! Sweet movie, a little slow but I’ve loved Jeff Bridges since The Last Picture Show and that is reason enough for him to win.
See explanation above.
Didn’t see it and he will forever be Mr. Darcy to me.
Does not compute if he’s not the president.
Great performance, hot, badass in this movie just to new to the scene.
Actor in a Supporting Role
Did anyone even see this movie…
…or this one
Christopher Plummer The Last Station
Good lord, the beard. Where’s Captain Von Trapp is the wierdo with the beardo. Didn’t see it.
Stanley Tucci The Lovely Bones
Completely creepy in this movie but the “between place” and the end ruined it and i can’t get past that.
Christoph Waltz Inglourious Basterds
OH this guy was soooo good and definitely deserves to win
Actress in a Leading Role
Sandra Bullock The Blind Side
Hands down she’s gonna win. Great performance, out of her element and everybody likes her.
Yeah, the Oscars need new blood.
Of course I wish she would win but again new comers don’t usually win but it has set the bar for her now.
Gabourey Sidibe Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire
Good performance but I would not say award worthy.
Come on Committee! Did you run out of Actresses to consider. Yes love her, this movie sucked.
Actress in a Supporting Role
Tried to watch it, this movie was torcher. Sorry, not a Penelope Cruz fan, she bores me.
Vera Farmiga Up in the Air
Absolutely love her. She’s a really superb actresses and glad to see her being recognized.
I thought she called it in for this role. She bored me and her emotional moments and reactions have been done a million times.
Really great in this role. So good at uptight, young know it all with major OCD. Loved her.
Mo’Nique Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire
Best performance this year and the fact she’s a comedian by trade makes it that much more amazing.
Directing
I think he’s an arrogant cocky bastard so no, he won’t win.
The Hurt Locker Kathryn Bigelow
It’s all about the underdog sometimes, and I’d like to see her stick it to her ex.
Inglourious Basterds Quentin Tarantino
Great Director, hard to look at. Annoying in general.
Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire Lee Daniels
Don’t know anything about this dude although he did a great job directing.
Another great Director and comes from a very talented family.
Those are my predictions, be sure to come back after the Oscars and see how I did. Please contribute and tell me who you think will win or why my predictions are lame. I love comments and a good constructive argument on useless subjects.
