In The Loop: 11/21/09. Captain's House, UAF Call & To Mr. Leto
Posted By Gavin Sheehan on November 21, 2009, 4:23 PM
Hello voyeuristic Buttars-squirming enthusiasts. This week a sample of
artwork from the Captain Captain Studio's open house they held last
week. Very cool to see all the new work up, which for those of you
unable to make it can check out over here. But trust me, photo does
not compare. Go to the next one in 2010.
--- While we're on the
subject of art, THE CALL FOR ENTRIES has officially begun for the
Utah Arts Festival. And not just oen area, we're talking all. Visual,
Marketplace, Culinary and Performing! Last year was absolute fun with
the array of local talent on hand and I know we can do better. So to
the visual artists, please, get your application filled and turned
in. And to bands and artists.. do I realy need to kick you guys any
harder than I am right now? The fest deserves the widest array of
local talent we have to offer. Get some tracks onto MP3 or MySpace,
fill out the application, and at least try. You can find all the
application information by clicking here. The majority of these
deadlines hit between early February and mid-March. But hey, you just
saw it, do it now!
Next, bare
with me for a moment as we go more mainstream, I'd like to personally
address someone, who I know will never read this and I'm sure this will
get me tons of hate mail, but I feel it needs to be
done. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-HEM!

Dear
Jared Leto;
I
get it, I completely get it, the whole ideal of rock stars wanting to
be actors and vice versa, its totally understandable. I mean, look at
Dogstar, need I say more? Problem is... you suck at both.
Musically, I've heard catchier guitar riffs in the middle of 70's
porn scenes. Nickleback writes better lyrics and I believe they're
legally braindead. As far as acting goes, there are only two films I
somewhat like you in: “Fight Club” and “American Psycho.” You
get your ass handed to you by Ed Norton and your spine hacked to bits
by Christian Bale. I smile during both. To expand any further on your
acting career would be an insult to film in general, so let's move
on. I don't know anyone who finds anything your band
does musically appealing. And that's not some random statement I made up, I went around and asked people all this week. I even asked random
people, which included teens (the group you shamelessly aim for) and
still no one. After hearing pieces of the new CD, I'm absolutely
convinced you are here to finish what My Chemical Romance started...
and that's to kill music. If any of the obese indoor-kids from the
generation behind mine have any sense, they'll pass your horrible
echo-filled album over and buy something less painful. Like the
generic Taylor Swift or the animatronic robot known as Lady Gaga. Do
us all a favor and just stop. --Love, Gavin
As for me, the
Thanksgiving weekend will not be spent waiting for Christmas to rape
and pillage the holiday. Instead, I'll have interviews from this
week's Gallery Stroll, a chat with the local artist behind Banana
Panic, another major comic artist coming to town, a look into
some artistic furniture and some very interesting and awesome
interviews with a couple of local theatre icons. Prepare to get your
stuffing on as we enter the mother of all weekends, and as always
we'll see what happens.
