A pleasing new New Moon fact

It was announced today that Thom Yorke will be writing a new song for the New Moon soundtrack........... Radiohead fans everywhere are in an uproar.
The entire music community has been writing songs trying to get on this soundtrack because of the fan base of Twilight and what it did for the bands that were put on the first soundtrack (ie the Jonas Brothers -gag-, and some past American Idol winner I forget which, etc.) and competition is fierce. I have no idea why Thom has become interested enough to write a new song for it, as he is notorious for not giving a crap about popular things or opinions, all I know is the director Chris Weitz is going to listen to the new song today and I quote, "unless it's sounds of him belching, I think I'll put it in." Good choice Mr. Weitz.
So, while the Radiohead community laments, there is a little old fan in Cedar Hills that is quite excited and can't WAIT to hear the song. Come on people, lighten up! It's a fun and interesting story-- stop taking yourselves so seriously!
And uh, need I say--- New Thom Yorke song to enjoy???

Fun Fact #7 -
Neil Leslie Diamond is his real name. Other names such as Eice Chary and Noah Kaminsky were considered as stage names at the start of his career. When asked right before Solitary Man was released which name he wanted to go with by the record co., he thought of his grandmother who had just died and told Bang Records, ".....go with Neil Diamond and I'll figure it out later."

Noah Kaminsky??!!

Fun Fact #8 -
Neil was the first ever winner of a Razzie Award for his role in The Jazz Singer.
Yet was also nominated for a Golden Globe for the same role.

Fun Fact #9 -
Neil's 2008 tour has been his most successful of any of his previous tours since 1966.
A few months ago, (end of August) he performed at Ohio State with layrengitis. He felt bad about how it went and awarded the entire audience refunds.

A little Christmas cheer, random drunkenness, and an interesting difference between men and women.


Fun Fact #3 -
The song "Jingle Bells" was originally written and sung for Thanksgiving, but as it often goes, Christmas stole it's thunder.

Fun Fact #4 -
Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" in just 6 weeks (in 1843).


Fun Fact #5 -
Men process women's voices using the musical parts of their brain, and women process men's voices using the mathematical part of their brain. Something to think about...... we really do hear each other differently.

Fun Fact #6 -
(This is my all time favorite Radiohead fun fact I have come across, I had to share it)
While trying to record "Planet Telex" (of The Bends), they decided to take a break and go to a pub. After mass amounts of wine, they went back to the studio. Thom was "a little tipsy" and had a hard time standing, so he pulled up a cot and did the vocals lying down, and it must have worked, cause it's that recording we hear on the album. -While not my favorite track of the album, I can't help smiling every time I hear it to picture him singing it.


Entertainment news:
They have picked a new directer for New Moon (YAY!!!!!!!!!), and it is Chris Weitz who directed (and wrote the Screenplay) for one of my favorites, "About A Boy". So needless to say, I am thrilled with the news. Weitz kind of specializes in turning books into movies, so I think he is up to the task.

So, in light of my recent title "The Source", I have decided to make my own little section of the blog. I don't think I will rope myself into a day of the week (or even know if I will do it every week), but these will just show up at random. I find when I am forced into a time frame, my creative juices run dry and things become a chore.
I am a natural researcher and seeker of interesting facts. This comes in handy once in a while when playing trivia games and the like. If I like something, I tend to seek out everything I can about the subject. With all of this in mind, I will share my little nuggets I find of interest (and try and keep the subject within what I feel most of you will be interested in).

Here we go.

Entertainment News -

Stephenie Meyer has said in a recent interview that she will probably pick up and finish Midnight Sun (Twilight from Edward's point of view) in 2 years or so (She says after everyone has forgotten about it -yeah right). She thinks her next project will be a book about mermaids (although, she refers to them as Sirens, like the Ancient Greeks).
