Trouble in Paradise

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Today’s video, Wrong Play, reveals that there is division in the ranks.  When Jonas and Sarah decided to strike at Lifesblood Labs on their own, Maggie and Reed felt betrayed by their friends. Maggie has gone into hiding and Reed appears to be minutes from leaving them as well.

Was Reed’s violent reaction justified?  Will Maggie ever trust Jonas again?  Did Jonas and Sarah leave them out for a reason?  Do you believe Maggie and Reed can be trusted?

Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Meet Reed Windle

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Reed Windle is the actor who plays Beaumont on LG15: The Resistance.  Reed is from Boulder, Colorado where he studied at the University of Colorado before transferring to Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. Before graduating with a BA in Theatre in May 2008, he had the honor of studying at the Moscow Art Theatre where he performed an adaptation of “Conference of the Birds” by Peter Brook. In addition to his theatre experience, Reed has been featured in many student films, including Bridge Stuart’s “Record #7″ and Ken Amarit’s “The Crystal Mermaid.” Since venturing into the professional world, he landed the supporting role of Cliff in the short film “Weak Species” based on of the writings of Dennis Cooper and directed by Dan Faltz. Playing Beaumont in LG15: The Resistance has been his first webseries role and he feels incredibly proud to be part of such a groundbreaking show.

Reed with Marnette Patterson (Maggie)

InsideLG15 asked Reed to do describe his experience on LG15: The Resistance: “Playing Beaumont was fun.  I got to work with some really incredible people, get beaten up in a crematorium, mop the floors of an otherwise filthy, abandoned hospital, and carry around Marnette Forrest Gump-style all while wearing an under-sized ‘onesie.’  My only regret is that I didn’t swipe that jumpsuit before we wrapped.”

Week 10 Music - Illa J.

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Illa J

Music by: Illa J.
Suggested Listen: “Yancey Boys”
Recommended Tracks: “R U Listenin’?”, “We Here”, “DFTF”

Did you know Jonas and the crew are into Hip-hip? That’s what I heard. That’s what you’re hearing all week, thank you Illa J.

Now I realize you may not know who Illa J. is or what the foundation of his music is about. As bittersweet as it is, let me recount the story about a very talented set of brothers that you are going to be hearing a lot over the next several months as “Yancey Boys” unfolds into public consciousness.

Illa J.’s brother was the late great producing genius J Dilla who sadly passed away in 2006 at the age of 32. J Dilla produced hit songs for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, The Pharcyde and a ton more. One consequence of losing such a beat guru so young was he left behind a body of finished, but unreleased work. His younger brother Illa picked up the pieces and wrote verse after verse after chorus with them, creating “Yancey Boys” in the process. Having your late brother produce your debut record as an MC must be pretty heavy. I hope Illa finds success in all of this, he’s a real talent that’s endured a struggle to get there.

On the Fly. Off the Cuff.
“DFTF” – sounds like the beat and rhyme were written at the same time, by the same guy.

“We Here” – Celebration of Life

“R U Listenin’?” – Rad verse trading with Guilty Simpson.

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

This week, a box found by Aleister Crowley in Denderah will be up for auction at The Willow Woods Auctioneers.  The box is thought to contain a cure for those who are trait positive

Maggie may have been able to escape from Lifesblood Labs, but she remains trait positive.  Her footage has revealed that LBL will stop at nothing until they’ve secured the fountain of youth for themselves.  Maggie needs the cure.  Will you help her?

Dr. Alderman examines Maggie before he conducts more tests on her.

 How many more girls will die before we stop them?

Help find the cure this Friday, November 14, at 11:00 am in Boston. Meet us at the George Washington Statue in the Boston Public Garden.

Chapter 9 Music - Colourmusic

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Colourmusic

Music by: Colourmusic
Suggested Listen: ““f, Monday, orange, February…”
Suggested Tracks: “Put In a Little Gas”, “Yes!”, “Winter Song”

THIS WEEK, we resist to the sounds of Colourmusic, a rare example of a band that does a good job blending genres to find its ‘sound’. In this case, it’s psychedelic pop and rock. Basing their work on Newton’s color theories and the resulting soundscapes, Colourmusic just dropped their debut LP “f, Monday, orange, February, venus, lunatic, 1or 13”, and no, I did not make that title up! The music doesn’t disappoint, every song is a well-thought out work bordering on the complex. Think the Who meet Queen with a little bit of Lou Reed sprinkled in for good measure.

Colourmusic gets downright inventive on stage. There’s no other way to say it, these guys are intriguingly bizarre and truly unforgiving. They’ve had their hair and clothes cut off, been painted, painted the stage and their equipment and who knows what else. They even spent a year (the “Roy Period”) in which all five members lived their lives as the same person, all the way down to trying to date the same girl. And somehow their music reflects this passion for the absurd in an incredibly authentic way when matched with their playing. Go see Colourmusic.

For those in the know, Colourmusic is on a serious rise. Before too long, everyone will be into them and we’ll be able to say we knew them when. They’ve been played on over 160 college radio stations, the Tonight Show and heard on several MTV shows. We’ve laid out below their remaining 2008 concert dates. Go see a show and let us know what you think. Here’s hoping this exposure puts Colourmusic over the edge and into the minds of the masses.
