Cool Collabos: James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti

The inaugural post of the Cool Collabos segment of this blog features a duet by two music powerhouses from entirely different musical universe’s: James Brown (who died six years ago on Christmas day) and Luciano Pavarotti. There was no reason that a combining of the voices of The Godfather of Soul and the Cavaliere di Gran Croce should have created such a powerful and downright cool version of Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” but it is damn cool and very quickly became my favorite rendition of this song.

Pacific Rim Is My 2nd Most Anticipated Movie of 2013

pacrim
I am geeking out for this movie! Giant Robots piloted by humans as they fight against giant monsters…anyone else immediately think that this is just Voltron (the version with the space cars not the cats) under a different name? Not that there is anything wrong with that mind you. The premise for Pacific Rim is just ridiculously cool, it has a very appealing cast and it is from the mind of Guillermo del Toro. If Man of Steel wasn’t coming out in the same year I would be majorly obsessed with this movie above all others.
So here I have gathered all of the goodies I have found across the Internetz pertaining to Pacific Rim in one place from the trailer to the viral vids to the promo images.
