Yup. Any Trekkie would know that that is the future birthplace of Jamers Tiberius Kirk. The folks at Riverside recently erected this marker above. Neato!

Found an old 1996 video of the adaptation of Star Wars. The play was conceived, written and directed by Garrin Hajeianm, Kevin Bayuk and John Zuckerman. Performed by Palos Verdes Peninsula High School.

Enjoy!

It’s a different feeling when you listen to real vinyl records. The pops, cracks and hiss adds a surreal, nostalgic feel to the music. I guess that’s one of the reasons record collectors cling on to their dear vinyl.

If you want to have the same experience for your iPad, as they say “there’s an app for that”. VinylLove might just be for you.

VinylLove recreates the same pops, cracks and hiss onto your MP3′s. But you have to pay $5 for it.

If vinyl record sounds are your thing, it might just be worth that much.

As part of the marketing hype around the much awaited album, Mustaine and co. recently released a music video based on one of the songs from the album, Headcrusher. Getting inspiration from movie like the Gladiator and the Running Man, the video features MMA stars duking it out for freedom.

Enough chatter, here’s the video:

2009 has turned into a landmark year like no other for legendary Island Records group Bon Jovi, and now the band is launching their new single, “We Weren’t Born To Follow” an upbeat positive anthem which premiered on radio Tuesday, August 18th. “We Weren’t Born To Follow” is the first single pick from the band’s new studio album, The Circle, in stores November 10th.

“We Weren’t Born To Follow” was written (and co-produced) by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and was produced by John Shanks, who worked with Bon Jovi on their last two albums, Have A Nice Day (2005) which featured the Grammy winning single, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” and Lost Highway (2007), which debuted at #1 on the Soundscan Charts in the U.S. and around the world. The resulting “Lost Highway World Tour” – which famously started with 10 triumphant nights in New Jersey and came to a close with an historic free concert in New York City’s Central Park and two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden – was ranked as 2008′s #1 top-selling tour around the world according to Billboard.

Bon Jovi has set the standard for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Globally, the Grammy Award-winning band has sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.

Tyler, 61, fell several feet while entertaining the crowd by dancing around as the sound crew replaced a fuse that blew during the song “Love in an Elevator“.  An amateur video showed him spinning around before falling off the stage.

A concertgoer said Tyler’s head was bleeding and he was holding his shoulder after the fall, but it wasn’t immediately clear how seriously he was hurt.

Jackson Rathbone, the teen heartthrob from “Twilight”, has reportedly agreed to play Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh) in the upcoming movie “Lords Of Chaos”.

Varg,  the former BURZUM mastermind, is currently serving a Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) and setting fire to three churches.

Based on a book of the same name, the film depicts true events and revolves around the black metal sub-culture that spawned a wave of murders and church arsons across Norway in the early 1990s.

Rathbone plays Jasper in Summit’s “Twilight” series and is currently shooting the lead role in M. Night Shyamalan’s $140-million “The Last Airbender” for Paramount Pictures.

In a 2004 statement posted on the Burzum.org web site, Vikernes slammed the “Lord Of Chaos” book as “a pool of mud,” insisting that: “the vast majority of all the statements made in this book are either misinterpretations; taken out of context; misunderstandings; malicious lies made by enemies; a result of ignorance; extreme exaggerations; and/or third-hand information at best. This includes the statements attributed to me!”

He went on to say, “This book serves only one single purpose and that is to create a myth around my name and to mystify me. If that was their objective they have indeed succeeded with their work. Well, the book seems to have served one other purpose too. The authors have managed to fill the heads of a generation of metal fans with lies. What could have been a righteous revolt has been made into some pathetic, embarrassing, brain-dead, impotent and traditional poser-culture best exemplified by bands like DIMMU BORGIR — and indeed VENOM!”

I am personally excited to see what Axl and the new members of the group has come up with after all these years. Will it signal the end of Emo? (I hope so!) Will it be another big let down FOR ME like Metallica’s “Death Magnetic”? Or will it be a good kick in the nut for the current crap the overall Rock industry has been churning out recently?

Well, if their first single is any indication, it’s promising to be a good comeback for GnR.

Let’s just wait and see.

Guns N’ Roses’ current line up is composed of:
