Tom Waits to tour the UK?

It seems that Mr. Tom Waits may be flying over to the UK for only his second series of gigs since 2003 in nearly 20 years! It seems that Waits has a new album coming out and is going to be travelling across Europe playing in a number of venues including some tents in Dublin! How incredible would it be to get a ticket for that show?
Anyways whilst the dates have still not been confirmed, there is a rather ingenious video of a 'press-conference' that Waits held in recognition of announcing his tour dates!
Check it out...

New Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull trailer!

Just a mere 19 days until the brand new Indiana Jones movie hits cinemas and the buzz is finally beginning to hit me. Part of the festivities in conjunction with the release of the film include the original trilogy being shown on the BBC, Empire Online having an entire month devoted to all things Indy and even the numerous Sunday papers have been getting into the act with supplements devoted to the upcoming film.
Although I have some concerns that the film might be up there with the 'God-awful' Star Wars prequels, I have some hope that this one will be good. Firstly Harrison Ford is back (and looking pretty active for his age), there is a score from John Williams (which advance reviews say is great), Karen Allen finally returns as Marion, Cate Blanchett is looking great as a Soviet agent and finally Spielberg is there to prevent Lucas from going wild and putting in too many CGI creatures.
Not convinced? Take a look for yourselves at the brand new trailer which hit the net just a few short hours ago!
