Sinatra Website Honors The Voice's Style

The Sinatra family recently made a flashy new website (Sinatra.com) featuring two very cool sections called Style and Legacy, both featuring essays and articles about his, uhm, style, and, uhm, legacy. One of my favorites is the inaugural Style essay "In Praise of Sinatra Style." If you're into being classy, cool and sophisticated (and who isn't, really?), or just want to learn more about an american icon, then give it a chance. Hit the read link if you're interested.

Read - In Praise of Sinatra Style

Sorry bout that...

I realize that I just took a very long and unannounced hiatus, but I'm back, and hopefully in full swing. I missed some kind of big things, like Tha Carter III, Wanted, and the announcement of a BioShock movie, among others, and in the coming weeks I will try to recap the most important ones.

Introducing The Protagonists... Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra is a legend. Whether you like him or not, you have to appreciate him simply as an American icon of entertainment and culture. He was one of the most prolific musician's of all time who's voice will be celebrated for generations to come. His films are not only classics, but award winners as well. But the main thing that drew me towards Ol' Blue Eyes was, well... Ol' Blue Eyes. Sinatra's personality just lit up the room. He was the type of guy you'd want to hit the links with or maybe toss back a couple of beers. He's friendly, but brooding, and most importantly, he's suave. Frank Sinatra rubbed elbows with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and beyond including Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Joe Dimaggio, John F. Kennedy, and many more. His Rat Pack consisted of close friends and music and film legends Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. Words can't really sum up the timeless draw of Sinatra so why not get some of his music or watch one of his movies, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Fall Out Boy 'Beat It'

The boys in guyliner started doing this cover on last year's Honda Civic Tour and somehow wound up recording it with John Mayer. Who knew that a song called "Beat It" could be so popular? (oh wait, Michael Jackson did...) This video has a kind of tacky feeling but in a good way. I seriously doubt any of you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Introducing The Protagonists... Pete Wentz

Ah, where to begin? Pete Wentz is probably most well known as the front man of the wildly popular pop punk sensation Fall Out Boy. Or maybe as that emo kid who was naked on the internet. Either way Pete Wentz has clawed his way into the limelight and shows no signs of leaving. Through his record label Decaydance, Wentz has launched some of today's biggest bands including Panic At The Disco and Gym Class Heroes. He also maintains a successful clothing line called Clandestine Industries which has secured major partnerships with big names such as DKNY and Nordstroms. Recently Wentz has turned his focus towards humanitarian efforts by working closely with Invisible Children to raise awareness for causes such as captive child soldiers in the Ugandan civil war. He has served as a music supervisor for The Hills, guest starred in One Tree Hill, starred in a short film entitled Goodnight Moon and worked with Seth Green on his upcoming film Sex Drive. Wentz is currently engaged to Ashlee Simpson.

New Video That You Should Watch

I know this was on my other blog but this one needs more content. Tyga is Travis McCoy's (Gym Class Heroes) cousin who recently got signed to Decaydance (Pete Wentz's label) and Young Money (Lil Wayne's label). This song 'Cocunut Juice' is gonna be one of those anthems that everybody in the entire world knows and loves soon enough, I can tell. Just wait, total summer jam.
