Right this moment’s enjoyable is delivered to you by Russell Crowe’s new track, “The Beast In Me”

Dear Gossips,

It is Friday and we may have enjoyable goddammit! Fun will proceed till morale improves! And at this time’s enjoyable is delivered to you by…Russell Crowe?

Crowe stars in a brand new MMA film referred to as Beast, which he co-wrote with Daniel Frigerio, and co-stars in alongside Daniel MacPherson and Luke Hemsworth (least of the identify). It’s a few fighter who’s dragged unwillingly out of retirement. You can see the trailer here, however we’re not right here for the trailer. No, we’re right here for Russell Crowe’s new track.

Crowe has a protracted historical past with music. Like many actors, when he began out, he was a musician as a lot as he was an actor. When his performing profession took off, he used his fame to cram his music down our throats within the type of his band, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. After that band fell aside, he shaped different musical acts, together with a band referred to as The Ordinary Fear of God, and his newest is a band referred to as Indoor Garden Party (the band names aren’t enhancing). I’ve a concept that the standard of an actor’s band is inversely proportional to their expertise at performing. The higher the actor they’re, the more severe their music is. Russell Crowe is an effective actor; due to this fact, his music is dangerous.

In his youthful days, although, Russell Crowe carried out music below the identify Russ Le Roq and had a notable single, “I Just Wanna Be Like Marlon Brando”. Whatever you assume that track goes to sound like, you’re incorrect. You aren’t ready for what it ACTUALLY appears like. Listen here and be a part of me in in a nether realm the place you’ll by no means know peace once more. (Honestly, that track sounds prefer it might be one in every of Obscurest Vinyl’s joke songs.)

The Brando track is why I take note of Russell Crowe’s music profession. You simply by no means know when he’s going to drop pure gold in your lap, which is what he did yesterday with the music video for “The Beast In Me”, an influence ballad to go together with his MMA film.

Watch out Diane Warren! Russell Crowe is coming to your compulsory Best Original Song Oscar nomination! I’m solely half kidding. I’d genuinely like to see Crowe make a run on the Oscars with this track. Will he? No, in fact not. The track is horrible. But so are all of Diane Warren’s Oscar songs. If we’re nominating dangerous film songs as a matter in fact, let’s nominate FUNNY dangerous film songs. Let’s nominate Russell Crowe for Best Original Song. Come on. Do it. It could be the funniest. We want it. You have eleven months to make this occur, Academy!

Live lengthy and gossip,

Sarah
