Frank Sinatra on the Boardwalk: Part I

June 20th, 2016

CEO

By Jerry Pearce

When I think about the world of casino gambling, two notable motion pictures occur to my mind.

First, Martin Scorsese’s “Casino,” followed by Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather.” Both films contain scenes of iconic dialogue that basically describe what this prosperous industry is comprised of: money, and entertainment. When I think of “Casino,” I think of Sam Rothstein’s (Robert DeNiro) intricate opening voiceover as to how the city of Las Vegas would bring in millions of gamblers each year, and then carefully fleece them of their well-earned dollars. When I think of “The Godfather,” I think of the scene where Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) speaks to Johnny Fontane (Al Martino) about his belief that having high-class entertainment in the casino showroom would be fruitful in drawing patrons into their gambling halls.

Murph’s Favorites Vol: 2 “Police On My Back”

June 20th, 2016

CEO

By Ian Murphy

While I certainly like songs that are technically demanding, (such as, well, almost any Queensryche tune) I also (for different reasons) really enjoy simple, straightforward rock and roll. Lately I’ve been on a big punk kick, digging into classic artists like the Ramones, Social Distortion, and (especially) The Clash. Obviously Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Co. are much more than loud and raunchy punk rockers, but they are at their best when they just turn up the volume, throw caution and technique to the wind, and just ROCK. A perfect example of this is their 1980 cover of “Police On My Back”, originally done by Eddy Grant and the Equals. In this cover, The Clash continue to show how besides being originators and great songwriters, they also interpret songs in a fresh and unique way, a mark of a truly great band.

Cavaliers Celebrate Championship Victory in Vegas

June 20th, 2016

CEO

Online NBA sportsbook odds have never looked better for the Cavaliers. Dreams indeed do come true, and they came true in spectacular fashion for the Cavaliers who netted their first ever NBA title in the history of the franchise.

Considering the momentous nature of their victory, some much-needed celebration was expected, which is why no one really batted an eye when the Cavaliers made a stop on their way to Cleveland, back from Oakland, California.

The Cavaliers’ victory, while rumored and speculated upon by some, was largely unexpected by the majority of sports fans. For that reason, a trip to Las Vegas was all but expected following their 93-89 championship victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7.

The Cavaliers arrived in Las Vegas early on Monday, hitting the ground running with a trip to XS Nightclub at the Encore Casino sometime after 2 a.m.

Tyler Hoechlin Trades His Claws For a Cape as Supergirl’s Superman Announced – Breaking Entertainment News

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

Look out Metropolis, there’s a werewolf in town! Or at least he used to be before trading the claws for a cape. Actor Tyler Hoechlin has been cast in the iconic role of Superman. You can look for him to make a two-episode appearance at the very beginning of Season 2. Hoechlin was last seen in Richard Linklater’s ‘80s-set baseball dramedy ‘Everybody Wants Some!, in which he had a lead role. He’s also appeared in ‘Road To Perdition, Hall Pass, Solstice and Teen Wolf.

Vampires: Fact, Fiction and Folklore…

June 15th, 2016

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

By definition a vampire is a being from folklore who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living. Ask ten different people what a vampire looks like and you’ll get ten different descriptions. You may hear everything from a demon like creature to a sparkly teenager.

People’s opinions are subjective, if Edward Cullen (Twilight) looked like Nosferatu I’d wager a bet the movie franchise wouldn’t have the same fan following. Desperate housewives, love struck teens and everything in between wanted the residents of Forks, Washington to be desirable, they wanted to believe in the power of eternal love. So they did.

This is a new series dedicated simply to songs that I love. They will come from disparate eras, styles, and genres. I love them all.

So, first on the docket is Soundgarden’s classic “Fell on Black Days”.

DeShawn’s Gaming Corner: Corsair Strafe RGB Keyboard

June 13th, 2016

CEO

By DeShawn Harry

What up fam! Giving you my thoughts on my Corsair Strafe RGB Keyboard. I’ve had this keyboard for about 6 months now. Before I was using the Razr Blackwidow Ultimate and honestly until the Strafe I really didn’t think I was going to fall in love with another keyboard as much as I did the Blackwidow. I also wasn’t really informed about Corsair peripherals, only the Ram options, so I had no pre-conceived notions of the Strafe when I picked it up.

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

There’s a touch of irony surrounding this story, an actor who played a police officer on the TV show “The Shield” has been sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for killing his wife. Michael Jace was sentenced Friday in Los Angeles after being convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of April Jace.The actor was sentenced after an emotional hearing in which the victim’s family members wept as they spoke about the impact of her loss. Jace apologized to the family and said ‘there’s no justification for his actions’.

Ed Sheeran Is Being Sued For Millions Over His Track Photograph

June 9th, 2016

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

Ed Sheeran is being sued for more than £13 million for allegedly copying a song released by X Factor winner Matt Cardle. A 20 million dollar lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles federal court claims Ed’s 2014 summer hit Photograph infringes the copyright of Cardle’s 2012 single Amazing.
Lawyer Richard Busch, who recently triumphed on behalf of Marvin Gaye’s family in a copyright case over the Robin Thicke hit Blurred Lines, is representing Amazing’s songwriters Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard.

The songs’ similarities “reach the very essence of the work”, the lawsuit reads.

Mega Riffs Vol. 8: “Cult of Personality”

CEO

By Ian Murphy

Beginning with an excerpt from Malcolm X’s “Message to the Grass Roots” speech, Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” jumps to life with guitarist Vernon Reid’s scintillating guitar riff. Dripping with the righteousness and spirit of the great Malcolm himself, the main riff just blows your ears out with its power and energy. Like a roaring lion asserting his dominance to the rest of the Animal Kingdom, “Cult of Personality” ranks among the very best of rock riffs.

Dick Haymes: A Forgotten American Classic

June 7th, 2016

CEO

By Jerry Pearce

“Later on, we’re gonna buy a Dick Haymes album and see what’s wrong with your career!”

The great comedian Don Rickles belted out this line at Frank Sinatra while the Chairman was the host of the 1969 Academy Awards to a barrage of laughs from both Sinatra and the audience. It’s a wonder if, through all the laughs, anyone gave a thought to the faded star that was mentioned. He was living throughout the United Kingdom at the time, far from the Hollywood that had made him a household name, trying to escape from mounting debts while attempting to give his family a comfortable way of life. His name was Richard Benjamin Haymes, better known as Dick, and it would probably surprise many that he was, at one time, as large a celebrity as Sinatra.
