Nothing could stop ‘Dick Poop’ from becoming a Twitter ‘Trending Topic’. The site exploded with clever responses to the Academy Award nominations Jan. 15 — from surprises to snubs to the unfortunate pronunciation of one cinematographer.
This flub occurred when Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences, announced Dick Pope as a nominee for achievement in cinematography.
So who exactly is Dick Pope?

The relentless efforts to revive the sounds of great British rock eras such as the 60′s and the Britpop of the 90′s have been evident throughout recent years. A band that can easily be categorized as such is London band Sisteray.
Despite starting out only one year ago the Londoners have amassed a sizable following and sold out venues that include The Water Rats and The Legendary 100 Club simply via word of mouth. It’s worth mentioning that The Rolling Stones, Oasis and The Sex Pistols have also sold out these venues – not bad footsteps to be following in.
Sisteray’s debut single comes in the form of a double A-side with “Take It Away” being the stronger of the two. “Take It Away” is centred around a raw and bold guitar riff that gives this tune a toe tapping edge. It’s simple but works well. Although this riff can be harsh at times,...

The Kinks hold the accolade of being one of the most important and influential British rock groups of all time and with record sales in the millions and numerous awards to their name, they are rightfully credited as pioneers of British music and popular music in general.
Emerging at a time when British Rock and Pop acts were gaining considerable coverage not only in the United Kingdom but in the United States, The Kinks proudly stood tall alongside such revered company as the The Beatles, The Rolling stones, The Animals and The Yardbirds at the forefront of the British Invasion phenomenon which took flight in the early to mid 1960′s.
Formed in 1964 by Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals), two brothers from Muswell Hill, London, who remained the core of The Kinks throughout the band’s 32-year history, the band hit the ground running...
