The Avengers - Castle Review / Guide

@marvel


Here is your Castle Review / Guide to The Avengers. I've made this easy for you peeps to remember with the following acronym MFWBCBTSWT. 


10 Steps below......and go.

Step 1.  


Make sure you've seen all the Marvel Studio origin films (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor & Captain America : The first Avenger). (Try to rent all on VHS or transfer to VHS for vintage feel)


Step 2. 


Find some loose change the will equate to around 10 - 15 bucks (Check behind couches and   under car seats) 


Step 3. 


Walk to your nearest cinema (carbon footprint bullshits)


Step 4. 


Buy a ticket to the Avengers in 3D (3D actually works [punch projectionist in the crotch if it's not lit properly])


Step 5.


Clear your bladder (the film is over 2 hours long)


Step 6. 


Buy Popcorn (this is a popcorn movie if there ever was one)


Step 7. 


Turn your phone off, put on your 3D glasses (wear contact lenses today if your vision impaired), enjoy the Prometheus trailer in 3D (film looks mazeballs) and for US citizens (watch out for a new Dark Knight Rises trailer)


Step 8


Stare


Step 9. 


Watch through credits for a lovely little surprise


Step 10. 


Try to wipe the smile off your face. 


It's been years leading up to this point. Decades for comic book fans.... But all i will say is...


"The Avengers is pure unadulterated popcorn spectacle. Tremendous to see it all come together. Geekboners and laughs aplenty".


Haynezeeboy 25/04/2012 


Now don't let anyone spoil anything for you and go so this film as soon as you can. 



Minor Spoiler - Hulk is the best thing about this movie. 

Get Your Haggle On!

White Whine: The Arrogant First World Problems

@WhiteWhines #WhiteWhine

Ok, so we have all heard of #FirstWorldProblems, but White Whine is First World Problems with a slight difference. 

Example:

First World Problems: 

“I want to go for a walk around the neighborhood but I can’t until I find one of the six iPhones in my house that plays my walking music.”

A particular problem that isn't a problem in a third world country, and in most cases, refers to technology that didn't exist 10-30 years ago.

A White Whine:

Comment from WhiteWhine.com - Oh God, you only got into Harvard?! 

A problem, that only exists in the first world, primarily within the rich community. An utterly stupid, arrogant First World Problem. So stupid, this isn't even a problem the majority of humans in first worlds.

Let's face it, we all love to laugh at people's stupidity, hey, it makes us feel better about ourselves right?

Plenty more White Whines to be read at WhiteWhine.com or follow @whitewhines on twitter.

Close Quarters

#BF3

This will be here in June.

Looks stupidly awesome. 

The Opening of The Dictator

So I guess this movie will make you cringe as much as it makes you laugh.

Sounds like a Sacha Baron Cohen film to me.

MultiTouch Music Apps

@ebnet

This is a great look at the now in multi touch applications found on modern devices. It's brilliant to see how advanced and respected these products are becoming. These aren't toys.

Well ok they can be toys, but they can also be very useful and productive in both production and performance these days..... and watch.

Stade 3

@oizo3000

When Mr. Oizo has 100 000 followers on the twitter (greedy) he'll release Stade 3 (Stade 2 was his last album dummies) free to the world. We've known about this for a while now but have only now just thought to tell you as we're getting real close. So tell your friends, your grandmothers florist, your pets accountant or a complete stranger to follow @oizo3000 on the twitter.

Like always with this french douche lover we'll let you know his every movement as it comes to light.

Perhaps it'll be released on vinyl. Perhaps.

Marble turns One.

@marbleofficial


Marble has created some incredible music over the last 12 months. So they decided to take a photo using Neon lights for their logo, a cheap smoke machine and bodacious motorcycles and tell us about their future.

by Romain Bernardie James


From the horses mouth.....


Hey everyone,

We celebrated our first birthday two weeks ago at the Social Club, and thought it was time for a little "PREVIOUSLY ON MARBLE" moment. It's been an amazing year for us, full of excitement and surprises. We made radical choices and didn't know how people would react to them, but so far the response has been overwhelming. 

In twelve months we released thirteen singles covering a broad spectrum of influences, ranging from weird avant-garde electronic music to club anthems, a full length album, threw our own parties and most importantly gathered a true family around the project.

So what's next? Of course, tons of singles are currently in the making, but there’s also two full length records :

- "USA Club Mixes", a remixed version of Surkin's first LP released this monday, featuring the Marble team and its extended family.
- "Passion", Para One's second solo album, in collaboration with Because music on June 11th.

And we would like to thank the people who made this first year so amazing :

The producers who believed in our releasing their music : Teki LatexMydCanblasterSam TibaDas Glow, and those who remixed it : Crackboy, Mr Oizo, Feadz, Djedjotronic, Noob, Rustie, Bok Bok, L-Vis 1990, Club Cheval, Strip Steve, Brodinski, A-Trak, Jackson & His Computer Band.

The artists who shot, designed or drew our cover art, and allowed us to build a unique visual identity : Museum Studio, Rimo, Jonathan Zawada, Benbo George, Ill-Studio, Maciek Pozoga, Partel Oliva, Gaspirator, Romain Bernardie James, Trevor Winkfield, FWRKS Visuals.

The industry types : Right Back, Idol, The Talent Boutique, Savoir Faire, EMI Japan, Because, Ed Banger, Plus Vague, Etienne Menu, Grand Blanc, Donald David, Nicolas Van Dyck, Martin Guilbaud, who helped us in so many ways.

Revolver Japan and Sixpack France who turned our images into cool objects.

All the DJs who played our music, the promoters who booked us, and of course all the people who listened and danced to our music in the past year.

So stay tuned, season two has just started!

Bobmo, Para One & Surkin.

Mc Baguette

#mcbaguette

McDonald's France as just launched its new burger, which is actually not a burger but a baguette-burger.
It's awful. Shame on you Maccas.


(UPDATE - Haynezeeboy) I found this commercial. This has made me extremely hungry.

Titanic - Rose was a bitch so Leo died

#Titanic

Proof that Rose was a bitch.
Knowing full well that her adventures would make for one hell of a story that James Cameron will one day want to tell, then re-tell in 3D... but this time with her 3D boobs edited out so that dudes didn't try to grab them in the cinema.

Look how much room there was!




2 Pac lives.... a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away

On the back of the incredible "live" performance of 2Pac at Coachella, some genius of planet internet decided share this moment with the geek in all of us.

Happy Birthday David


#prometheus

David (Michael Fassbender) is our Android character in the upcoming Sci fi-gasm film Prometheus.

Fassbender's performance is inhuman, creepy, funny and slightly touching. He could very well be the best thing about Prometheus when it comes out June 1.

Modeselektor Live at Coachella 2012.

#Coachella2012 @modeselektor

UPDATE: VIDEO HERE


In case you missed it, Castle Awesome managed to get a pretty sweet recording of the entire set, and its available to download on our sound cloud page. we also have a video, but we are in the process of finding a place we can post it without copy right infringements (Video is now up HERE). the set is exceptional though so grab it and strut down the street to some fine ass tunes.

I was actually lucky enough to be there at the launch of their live show in Berlin, and if you ever have the chance of seeing this live, do it.

2Pac Lives

This is phenomenal. During Snoop Dogg's performance this happened.



Hologram technology has come a long way. Besides some sliding and feet being slightly off the ground this really looked like 2Pac was back.

Slow clap.

i2 edit: Below is a little diagram thanks to Roxanne Palmer at the International Business Times on how the "hologram" was really done. (Hint: It's not a hologram)

Shit Post Sunday - On A Quiet Square

Belgium is a weird country, nothing ever happen... unless you have a special button which you can add BIG drama in a quiet square.

Shit Post Sunday - I'm Han Solo

The Star Wars franchise is a devious whore. Watch.



This is perhaps the worst / funniest thing to ever happen to the franchise. P.S. If you're thinking about buying the Kinnect game DON'T. It's awful.

Shit Post Sunday - Looper

Rian Johnson's new film Looper is hitting cinemas this September. Looks the radness. 


If you haven't seen Rian Johnson's first feature Brick then stop what your doing and go see it immediately.

Breakbot's Programme

@breakbot @edbangerrecords

Breakbot has been a lil quiet for a while as he's been working on his first album. 

Ed Banger records will be releasing 'By Your Side' this September. Expect that yummy funk flavour he does so well throughout with a few guest vocals (I would guess with Ruckazoid). I wish he'd hook up with Ifrane again. In my opinion 'Baby I'm Yours' is the best track he's ever created. 

But first up we have B-side of the soon to be released single to share with you. Ed Banger has released it for frees also. Grab it below. It's a nice cruisy track that grows on you with every listen. 


NSFW - Sébastien Tellier - Cochon Ville's Music Video

Dauwd

@dauwd @picturesmusicuk
Welshman-man, Dauwd has impressed me for a good few months now. I've listened to his EP 'What's There' countless times without that goose bump, head bop, crotch joust effect ever wearing off.

This guy has created a sound that's as smooth as butter with the funk of Max Rebo if he was Stevie Wonder in his heyday (sense much?). He has the most elegant way of twisting vocal samples into a well grooved building beat. It's quite a thing for the ears to behold.

Anyways he's just about to have a remix released for Jack Dixon April 30. Listen to a preview below. BUT FIRST have a listen to one of the tracks off 'What's There' EP. Unfortunately the vinyl for 'What's There' are out of stock (EVERYWHERE!!!). Please repress!

This is pretty special stuff.

Less talk more listen.

Behold the beauty of Ikopol.





'like' him on FB. Listen to more beats on his SC. Buys his stuffs. Support the Dauwd.
