Shaun Vs. The World


You have no idea how often I imagine Shaun of the Dead as Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, mostly because it hasn't crossed my mind before. Which, now that I think about it, surprises me. My obsessive nature towards all things Scott Pilgrim and Edgar Wright should have eventually led to this. Damn my creativity.

Alas, Philip Askins realized the potential first, so here I am writing about my missed opportunity. This awesome 60-second short shows us what would happened if Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead clashed with Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Pretty great stuff!

The Vines' New Music Video Seems A Bit Familiar (In the best way possible)


Scott Pilgrim remains one of my all time favorite graphic novels/movies, so it should be no surprise why I'm enjoying this music video so much. The consistant homage to Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World fits so incredibly well with The Vines' garageband-esque rock that I'm almost surprised Beck was Edgar Wright's initial choice. Than again, I never imagined Sex Bob-Omb's Stephen Stills to have such a harsh Australian accent. The single, Gimme Love is one of 3 tracks that were previously performed by The Vines in June. 

The band has continued to impress me, despite their subpar album, Melodia. Scott Pilgrim homages and this song are making me relatively excited for their fifth album, Future Primitive which is due out June 3rd. Although, that may be my immense amount of fanboy-ism kicking in.

Scott Pilgrim: More Tracks


Fans of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World are in for a treat. Four unreleased Sex Bob-Omb tracks surfaced recently and they sound amazing thanks to the talent of Beck. One of the best parts about Scott Pilgrim was it's fantastic original soundtrack, one that I find myself continuously returning to.

If you like the idea of more Sex Bob-Omb, hit the jump and give them a listen!
