Muse = Space Rock Gods?

By

As its no secret to my fellow Awesomites, I'm probably the biggest Muse fanatic arguably on the east coast if not the US. I'm not saying that to brag as my love for them has probably reached unhealthy levels and this may or may not be a call for help. Anyways, I came across this bit of news featuring the band and my brain almost exploded from the possibilities. In an interview with UK's The Sun, Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy expressed interest in one day playing a gig in space and is even considering approaching billionaire Richard Branson to facilitate the "mission."
My nerd side is just giddy at the idea of any band playing a gig in space (although the question of "How" keeps popping up) and add the fact that its one of the most exciting and innovative bands of our current generation (as well as my personal favorite, not sure if I've mentioned that) and we have the possibility of something epically awesome on various levels.
I know the realistic chances of this happening in the near future are slim to none but a man can dream!

Here's an idea at what it might be like:

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is com...

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Top 30 Muse Songs (15 - 11)

We're mere days away from Muse's new album Drones being released and it's time to see which of their songs cracked the top half of our list. If you missed the previous installments or need a refresher:  26-30 ,  21-25 ,  16-20 15. Undisclosed Desires I remember when they first released this song, it had a lot of fans scratching their collective heads because it felt like a vast departure from what we were used to with Muse. In time, we embraced the song because it's Muse and we appreciate the risk. The song ultimately seemed to lay the ground work for Madness on the next album. 14. Citizen Erased It's been a fan favorite for a long time and, according to the band, they're apparently not done with the idea. Bellamy did  an interview  where he said that a song called The Globalist  from their upcoming album is a sequel to Citizen Erased and is "a ten minute prog nightmare - which is about the rise and fall of a dictator." That sounds like it...
