Happy Mothers Day everyone. To celebrate, eMusic has chatted up a bunch of our favorite indie groups’ moms to see what they think of their kids’ music. Included on the list are Sunday Music Spotlight alums Bishop Allen, Bon Iver, Bowerbirds, and Rock Plaza Central, plus a ton of other great bands. Head on over and check it out.
Just like Ron Burgandy in Anchorman, Charles Barkley will read anything you put on a teleprompter. His co-host knows this, and hilarity ensues:
That’s tuuurrible.
I put up a bootleg of this a couple of weeks ago, but here’s the legitimate trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Still looks kind of meh.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars hits theaters August 16th.
NBC posted a promo today for the third installment of Heroes. The season is titled “Villians”, and from the looks of it we’ll have a hard time telling the “good guys” from the “bad guys”. Check it out:
In other Heroes news, actress Brea Grant will be joining the cast as Hiro’s nemesis, Daphne (aka Speedster). She’ll steal something from Hiro, and he’ll spend a lot of time trying to deal with her. Or, to put it another way:
“Her character is supposed to be Hiro’s Joker,” said Masi Oka, who plays Hiro. “Batman has The Joker. Hiro has Daphne. This is the season where Hiro finally finds his arch nemesis, and it happens to be this Speedster. I kind of equate it more to Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, except Daphne says more than ‘meep-meep.’”
Yahoo Movies has the first seven minutes of Speed Racer up. Go ahead and watch, then we’ll discuss.
I have to say, this it’s truly unique. The Wachowski Brothers have done a fantastic job creating a live-action cartoon, but will that be enough to engage an audience for over two hours? What do you think?
SweetAfton23 (aka Molly), PCWEI’s patron saint of ukulele players, is back. This time she got a chance to perform with Johnathon Coulton and Paul & Storm at one of their shows in Seattle. Check her out as she helps out JoCo and the gang with a couple of tunes:
“Tom Cruise Crazy”
“Baby Got Back”
Check out the rest of the videos, including her original song, “Road Trip”, which I highly recommend.
Up to this point there’s been a lot of focus on Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight, and not a lot of information on Aaron Eckhardt as Two-Face. Well that all changed this week when the first picture of Two-Face hit the net. The picture is after the jump.

Sunday Music Spotlight alums Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings have a new video out for their song “Tell Me”. It’s a retro-looking video for a retro-sounding band. Check it out below:
I’m a little behind on this, but here’s the second trailer for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It really seems like it keeps the same nostalgic feel as the first three movies.
The latest chapter of the Indiana Jones tale hits theaters May 22nd. Can’t wait!
Iron Man is just about everything a comic book movie should be. It’s funny, it’s exhilarating, and it’s got great characters. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is perfect. Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts is a perfect foil for Downey’s cocksure playboy. The Dude is very good as the menacing bad guy. And director Jon Favreau is so money baby, and he doesn’t even know it. If Iron Man is any indication of what we can expect from this year’s crop of comic book adaptations we’re in for a treat.
