BENEFIT FOR "DANGEROUS" DAN TOLER Posted: 26 Oct 2011 04:22 PM PDT Dangerous Dan Toler Page A Note to Family, Friends & Fans from Dan Toler: Hello Friends & Family, First of all I thank each and every one of you for being such good people and I want all of you to know I love you very much with all my heart and soul. Rhino is correct in stating that he and I happen to be in the same boat with illnesses trying to take us down. We are both fighters and a couple of strong willed men that happen to love playing music for our family, friends and fans. We both have been dealt a tough way out of this life. Jesus Christ is going to take care of the both of us and just maybe a cure will come along. Rhino has the liver to deal with and I have been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Neither one of us know how much time we have left but then again this is true with each and every one of us. I know in my heart without God I am doomed. I thank my wife Debby Toler for taking care of me like no other person in this world could. She has been my rock for many many years and I love Debby with all my heart and soul. Thank you Lord for having Debby in my life. I love doing benefits for people that need help and I never ever thought a benefit would have to be held for me. It definetly breaks my heart but I want to thank everyone helping out with this event. Without our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ there is no reason to exist and He is offering everlasting life to all who believe in Him. Trust in the Lord. May God bless you all and keep you forever, Amen. Your Friend, Dan Toler Donate and Benefit Info Here

STELLAR CORPSES VIDEO RELEASE: VIPER ROOM Posted: 26 Oct 2011 10:26 AM PDT Official Website Stellar Corpses Band Info "We met in the drunk tank. I came to, and there they were! The acoustics were great, but it gets pretty boring when your only audience is the police." – Dusty Grave, lead singer, Stellar Corpses. Well, if that leaves you with your jaw on the floor, read on. The band's sense of humor is evident in the above quote. The four guys in Stellar Corpses (which literally means "dead stars") not only rock, but are also intelligent, cool people and have kick ass personalities. Their album Dead Stars Drive-In (Santa Carla Records) drops on January 24, 2012. And they're not bad to look at either, for all the females reading this. Good looks aside, they can rock the hell out of any venue they play. They're hard core rockers to the bone, and they prove it every time they hit the stage or whenever their music is played. Their new album, Dead Stars Drive-In (Santa Carla Records), will be released on January 24, 2012, and was produced by Joe McGrath (AFI, Tiger Army, Alkaline Trio and many more). "It was amazing to record in the same place that so many of my influences recorded," Dusty exudes. "Black Flag, Descendents and Pennywise to name a few. And working with Joe McGrath was incredible. He helped us to make the best record of our lives. "We are excited to have some really special guests on the album like Hunter Burgan (AFI), Jade Puget (AFI) and Michale Graves (Misfits)!" Stellar Corpses list their musical influences as Elvis, Black Flag, Social Distortion, Stray Cats, Bad Religion, Black Sabbath, AFI, The Misfits, Danzig, Rancid, Sepultura and Megadeth. With a mix like that, it's no wonder Stellar Corpses blended their musical tastes into something really special. Says the whole band, "We hope we can inspire some young kid who's life is changing and needs some music to relate to. Morbid music saves lives…we don't care what anyone says." VIDEO RELEASE PARTY!! WHO: Santa Cruz punk rockers Stellar Corpses WHAT: Video premiere and party for single "Vampire Kiss" WHEN: Sunday, October 30, 8:00pm WHERE: The Viper Room, downstairs, 8852 W. Sunset Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90069 MORE: On October 30, Stellar Corpses will be debuting/screening their new video for "Vampire Kiss." There will also be a raffle and a band meet-and-greet. The video for "Vampire Kiss" is a wink and a nod to a certain cult classic movie that was shot in Santa Cruz. "Shooting a professional video was a new experience for us, so we didn't know what to expect," Dusty continues. "We knew director Justin Janowitz was good, but we didn't know he was THAT good! Watching him pour himself into his work was truly inspirational. He is a real artist, fully present in every aspect of the project from casting to location scouting to set design to making sure each shot was perfect. He made it really easy for us to get into our roles as artists and entertainers. It being our first pro video, we were all pretty nervous, but Justin and his awesome crew helped us relax and deliver the best performance possible." The video also boasts cameos from producer Joe McGrath (Tiger Army, Offspring, Alkaline Trio, AFI, etc.), who produced Dead Stars Drive-In, and AFI's Hunter Bergan, who sings backup vocals on the track. "Working with Hunter Burgan was amazing. He took the video to a deeper, darker level, which was perfect... way more than we expected. When I heard he was going to do a cameo, we thought he would just walk by in the background and then bail, but he didn't. He fully embraced his role and brought some serious intensity to the set." Stellar Corpses release their full album Dead Stars Drive In (Santa Carla Records) on January 24, 2012, and release the "Vampire Kiss" single on iTunes on Halloween 2011, the day after the video premiere event.

New post on The Daily P.O.P. Celebrate Women of Wonder Day by dailypop WOMEN OF WONDER DAY Sunday, October 30, 2011 In October 2006-2010, the Wonder Woman Day I-V events raised over $110,000 for Domestic Violence programs in Portland, Oregon and Flemington, NJ. The five-year combination of auctions of over 1,100 original art pieces, plus collectibles, autograph signings, and photo opportunities garnered spectacular turnouts and four Mayoral Proclamations! This year, the event will take on a new name and an expanded mission! On October 30, 2011, the new Women of Wonder Day — again as a part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month — will take place, returning to Excalibur Books in Portland, Oregon, and Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey, as well as at Heroes and Fantasies in San Antonio, Texas! 100% of all monies raised goes to the designated 501(c)3 tax deductible charities! The first Wonder Woman Day event was filmed for a half-hour documentary series, FANatical, shown on Canadian and Australian national television. Additionally, the event has been filmed for an upcoming worldwide documentary, The History of the Universe As Told By Wonder Woman. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Women Of Wonder Day - and its predecessor, Wonder Woman Day - was founded in 2006 by USA Today best-selling author and documentary director Andy Mangels.

[New post] Deleted Captain America scenes and M.O.D.O.K.

New post on The Daily P.O.P. Deleted Captain America scenes and M.O.D.O.K. by dailypop With the arrival of Captain America: The First Avenger on DVD and Blu-ray this week, there's plenty of buzz about cut scenes and plans for the upcoming sequel. There is already talk about Sebastian Stan returning as Bucky Barnes, this time as a mind-controlled assassin named the Winter Soldier. Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier Also, there may be a team-up with the Falcon, one of Marvel's high-flying African American crime-fighters. A classic cover from Captain America and the Falcon But the production team is most excited about the return of the evil Arnim Zola so wonderfully played by actor Toby Jones. The villainous scientist was a cohort of the Red Skull's in the feature film, but in the comic book world, he was the guinea pig for a special experiment by a dastardly group called A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) to create the perfect killing machine. Bizarrely, this resulted in a massive floating head in a chair. "There wasn't a sequence with Master Man (one of Captain America's classic villains) that ended up on the cutting room floor or anything," laughed Markus. "But there was an endless array of scenes we could've drawn from, and may draw from in the future. I'm not being cryptic when I say that, either - I'm just being a comic book geek. For example, some day, whether it be in an 'Iron Man' movie or a 'Captain America' movie or any other Marvel movie, I want to see M.O.D.O.K. float down the hall." For those who aren't familiar with Captain America's rogues gallery, M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) is a recurring villain whose appearance is that of a gigantic head encased in a cybernetic suit with miniature arms and legs and rockets that propel it around. The character is a fan-favorite nemesis for Steve Rogers that debuted in a 1967 issue of Tales of Suspense and was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Asked whether M.O.D.O.K. really is the character they're most looking forward to seeing on the big screen, the pair couldn't be more enthusiastic about the giant, floating head facing off against the iconic supersoldier. "Yeah, I'm voting M.O.D.O.K.," laughed Markus. "You know what? 'Vote M.O.D.O.K.' is a t-shirt I would wear," agreed McFeely. However, while M.O.D.O.K. was never actually included in their original "Captain America" script, there were a few classic villains that were planned for the first film, only to be removed in subsequent drafts. The pair previously revealed that evil despot Baron Zemo was in an early draft, but he wasn't the only sinister side character in those versions of the script. "Baron Strucker was in there for a while, but he wasn't doing enough to justify wasting him in the film," said McFeely. "We certainly tried things, and ended up settling on the more useful Red Skull and Arnim Zola." "But they're all still on the table," he teased. Finally, the pair offered up some insight regarding one particular character who did make the cut, and was introduced in a nice tip of the hat to his incarnation in the comics world. In the comics world, Captain America villain Arnim Zola often appears as a large, humanoid robot with a large monitor in his chest that depicts Zola's face. In the film, actor Toby Jones plays Arnim Zola, who is first seen in the film staring through a large lens - a nice nod to his comics counterpart. "That was in the first draft, too," said McFeely of the comics-friendly angle to Zola's introduction. "As soon as we knew it was going to be Zola, we wanted to make sure his intro was on a screen like that." "We wanted to tip our hat to his later incarnation without including it in the film, because when you have a guy with a red skull for a head who's supposed to be the most horrifying thing in the story, you can't have a robot man walking around," laughed Markus. "So yeah, Zola had to be a person in this movie." "Captain America: The First Avenger" arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray this Tuesday, October 25.

Faith, Love and Hope Tattoo Tapestry Kits by Emily Peacock Posted: 25 Oct 2011 10:55 AM PDT Fans of tattooing and tapestry can see their interests intersect with these Faith, Love and Hope Tapestry Kits from Emily Peacock.  Needles are central to both art forms, so if you're handy with a needle and thread but lack the inclination (or nerve) to go through with tattoing yourself,  you can still express your creative urges in needlepoint. There are three designs available; Faith, Love and Hope, featuring traditional tattoo motifs of swallows, stars, and anchors.The kits are available in either small, measuring 32.5cm x 39cm and costing £54.95 or large, measuring 55.5cm x 46cm and costing £75. All three designs are available from designer Emily Peacock's website here.

Polka Dot Pencil Skirt from River Island Posted: 25 Oct 2011 09:47 AM PDT Now that 'retro' and 'vintage' is an seemingly all-encompassing thing now, it can be tricky finding something that's simple and actually captures that 'timelss' look from years gone by. However, rummage amongst the loud 80s patterns and ironic t-shirt slogans and there's still a load of gems to be had. Take this simple (but effective) polka dot pencil skirt for example. It will go with just about everything you own and can be paired up with a '50s wardrobe just as much as it could sit with '60s mod clobber. At £22, it'd be rude not to.   It's available from River Island.

Red Collarless Coat from Peacocks Posted: 25 Oct 2011 09:19 AM PDT Winter is definitely here and you may well be thinking of getting a new coat or two. One worth looking at is this new addition at Peacocks. It's a double breasted 60s-style collarless coat. While that may seem impractical at this time of year, you can couple it up with your favourite scarf and not worry about it fighting for space around your neck. The coat has that great Carnaby Street look about it, so you can strut like you're Bardot. It's certainly bright enough to turn heads through the grey weather of winter. It's machine washable too, so save money on those dry-cleaning bills. Available at a snip for £36 from Peacocks

Engineer Collection Wallpaper from Rockett St George Posted: 25 Oct 2011 06:34 AM PDT If you're looking to create some retro industrial chic then this Curator Filing Cabinet wallpaper from Rockett St George will be right up your street. Part of a range of wallpapers created by Andrew Martin in Paris, the collection features tough urban textures in metallic greys. charcoal and pewter and, like the Library Wallpaper we've featured previously, isn't photographic but rather hand-painted. Great for creating a feature wall or contrast alcoves, this is an easy route to tough but stylish interior design. A 10m roll is 68cm wide with a 38.1cm repeat and costs £69.90. Check it out online here.

eBay watch: 1970s Merrow Associates rosewood and chrome sideboard Posted: 25 Oct 2011 04:15 AM PDT We're big fans of Merrow Associates, although most pieces on eBay are either overpriced or the same designs over and over again. This Merrow Associates rosewood and chrome sideboard is something a little different - it seems to be a one off piece. We have seen a good few designs and although this has the look of a Merrow Associates piece, it's a design we haven't seen before. According to the seller, the sideboard was bought privately, rather than through a retailer, in the early 1970s, which could well indicate this being a private commission. It's a huge item, 185cm across and is said to be in 'fantastic' condition, with the exception of a few scratches on the top which don't stand out. The rosewood and chrome are both in fine condition though, which is the important thing. It looks superb too, as well as being functional in terms of storage. As you might expect, this sideboard isn't cheap, with the headline price at £3,000. Although you can make a cheaper offer at the site. Find out more at the eBay website

Brio Wooden Stacking Owl Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:44 AM PDT Brio has been making wooden toys for more than 120 years, and whilst this Wooden Stacking Owl doesn't date quite that far back, it is a classic Brio design with a retro look to it. The owl is made from solid wood, with a glossy paint finish and fabric wings. But he isn't just a good looking chap – he also helps with your baby's development skills as they learn how to put him together correctly. The Stacking Owl costs £9.45 from the Little Baby Company.

Flora's Field Tray Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:44 AM PDT If you've been paying attention, you'll have seen Darling Clementine designs on these pages before, mainly in the form of cards, but the Flora's Field Tray is the first tray we've featured by the Norwegian design duo. Inspired by traditional Scandinavian folk art, the tray is handmade in Sweden from Scandinavian Birch veneer. The design features a glamorous lady (presumably by the name of Flora) amongst stylised flowers in black, pink and orange. The tray measures 28cm by 35.5cm and is dishwasher proof. Buy it from Folly Home for £24.95.

Coby lamp from Laura Ashley Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:26 AM PDT If you associate Laura Ashley with floral and floaty fabrics then their Coby lamp might come as a bit of a (hopefully pleasant) surprise. The style is clearly influenced by 1930s-style lamps which are fashionable once again, with its cream shade and yellow flex. The look has been given a more industrial feel by the wooden stand, and an interesting take for this high street store: more like this please! The lamp costs £78.75. Order it online

Postcards from Ladybird: 100 classic covers in one box Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:03 AM PDT We love Ladybird's book designs, so we were delighted to see the new Postcards from Ladybird: 100 classic covers in one box. It does pretty much what it says on the box: in a similar style to the Penguin classics set it reproduces a hundred favourite book designs from the much loved children's publisher.  The designs date from the 1940s and Ladybird's first ever book, Bunnikins tea party, up to the 1970s, and are bound to stir up some nostalgic feelings. From classic fairy tales to 'How it works', it's all covered.  The box costs £14.99 - a small price for so many memories.  Buy it from Culturelabel
