TEN Gossip

I had to look forever to find a clean version of this song for the site. But I did. It’s Heartbeat by Childish Gambino. (If you want the version that is full of swearing it’s here. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s also the version I listen to.)

If it isn’t apparent already, I love music. I love finding new music too. So particularly when I’m in a down mood a song like this will end up on repeat. Okay, it did almost all this weekend. I wanted you to hear it too. I was addicted the first time I listened to it. I love music that grabs you like that and doesn’t let go. Perfect music for me.

Leonardo DiCaprio Covers GQ Australia

Isn’t it nice to see Leonardo DiCaprio on the cover of a magazine? I wish I could go to Australia and get this issue! I know that I could go on eBay and it would make it easier..but maybe I want to travel. I only wish.

In the March 2012 issue of the magazine Leo talks about other roles he wished he had and if he is going to direct. Here are the highlights:

On the roles he would’ve played if he was a leading man at another time: “For my generation, it’s always the 70s. That period where you felt like the hands were being dealt back in the director’s favor. The studios realized that letting them tell their stories was something the audience had a hunger for. And of course, it all went awry. Taxi Driver to me is the ultimate independent movie performance. Playing a character like Travis Bickle is every young actor’s wet dream.”

On the growing level of paranoia: “What is that incredible statistic – that a young kid in Africa with a cell phone has access to more information that the President did in the 60s? And with the onset of things like WikiLeaks – which can be very beneficial in some respects, to unveil a lot of the secrecy of conspiratorial activities – the level of paranoia is going to reach an all-time high.”

On whether he wants to direct: “Yeah, I do. And if I did direct, I would try to have the same no bulls**t approach to it as he [Clint Eastwood] and his crew have. Seriously there are no frills on his set. It’s a small tightknit crew.”

I wonder what Leo’s take would be on the Zombie Apocalypse?
