Tokyo brings the Mercenaree To Texas

Featured Artist : Tokyo




There are many words to describe Tokyo, for example, a professional with an unquenchable thirst to create. Furthermore, Tokyo is also known as a father and husband, but many more know Tokyo as an artist, a poet, and a mentor to many of the people surrounding him. Tokyo more focused than ever has returned from several roadbumps and crossroads, after a long absence from the public eye, to do what comes natural to him, create music. And he is so very focused on delivering music that people can relate and dance to. Tokyo found shelter in various recording studios around his hometown of Madisonville, Texas . After years of recording and releasing independent tracks that were highly revered around the Southern United States, Tokyo can be heard and seen at Local clubs doing his thing.

Marbella The Next Spanish Oasis

This is a big nightlife story. Literally.

Huge, actually. The patio alone is 4000 square feet.

Welcome to Marbella, an enormous new Spanish nightclub and restaurant in the heart of Hollywood.

You probably remember the white honeycomb walls of Montmartre Lounge, with a Hollywood Boulevard address but a back-alley entrance off Highland. But now there's a new entrance—a covert valet off McCadden—and a new den of Spanish debauchery within.

Up the stone steps is an outdoor enclave, even bigger than before, dotted with trees, small tables and cabanas whose curtains blow gently in the evening breeze…under a towering apartment building currently being constructed. (Ah, Hollywood.) You'll probably want to start here for some sunset tapas—shellfish, cheese, sangria—before you head inside.

Which is where you'll find a heady swirl of brick ceilings, amber sconces, stocked bars and an LED-lit dance floor with plenty of VIP booths beyond. (Marbella, as if you didn't know, is a magical part of Spain where the rich put their riches toward the finer things in life. Booze. Wine. Girls who like booze and wine.)

It's private parties only for now, so keep a close eye on your usual stack of invites—or wrangle a blowout for 800 of your closest friends. Otherwise, expect the full-on public debut after Labor Day.

Go ahead, wear white.

Heath Ledger's Final Film

Tuesday News Day

Heath Ledger was working on a film soon after Batman had finished. Heath was working of a film called Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. However, Heath Ledger never had the chance to finish due to a drug overdose.

The Director, Terry Gilliam, ended up casting three other actors to finish what Ledger started. Versions of his character in the fanciful film are also played by Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. This appears to be a masterpiece by one of the most gifted film directors today...It feels like the kind of film that needs to be seen several times to get the full experience.

Annie Lennox's music

Monday Mashup

A video mashup retrospective of Annie Lennox's solo career, featuring:

"Why"
"Walking on Broken Glass"
"Little Bird"
"No More I Love You's"
"Waiting in Vain"
"Something So Right"
"Dark Road"
"Sing"
"Shining Light"

This is a very well done mashup of Annie Lennox's music. Annie has been on a spree of late promoting her latest record, The Annie Lennox Collection containing choice cuts from her solo career to date. The retrospective also includes two new songs that Lennox recorded specially for this collection.

The first, “Pattern of My Life,” was written by Tom Chaplin of Keane. The second is a cover of “Shining Light,” a song originally recorded by Ash in 2001. “I first discovered this song by Ash about six years ago, and I simply couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s so exultant that it virtually shimmers,” Annie Lennox says.

As a dedicated activist and campaigner, Annie Lennox works with numerous organisations, including Oxfam, Amnesty International, Comic Relief, and Greenpeace.
