If you haven’t seen the ‘performance’ from Tupac at this years Coachella, it is definitely worth a watch, the video is below in this post. But if your like me your wondering how the heck they were able to pull that off, well here’s how.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if you thought that the Tupac performance was made from a prior performance, your wrong. According to Rolling Stone, it was all computer generated, but at least it was very well done CGI. They went on to say that the total price for the creation of that CGI Tupac was somewhere between $100,000 and $400,000 and I think it was well worth the money. If your going to bring someone back to life, you might as well do a good job at it. Plus I thought it looked believable from the video, so I can only imagine what some of the audience members at the show who ‘celebrated’ before the concert were thinking.

One more bubble to burst, you know how everyone is calling it a hologram? It wasn’t even a hologram. Well, Adam, then it must be a really cool new way of making dead people perform on stage then, right? Wrong again, it is actually based off a mid-19th century optical illusion called “Pepper’s Ghost”. It works off of the fact that glass is both see through and reflective.  So basically it was a 2D video of Tupac displayed on a really expensive see through, reflective screen on stage.

Bonus round: This was the first time this has happened at Coachella right? Wrong again. The Gorillaz did this too with their avatars, the video is below.

Normal – Illinois State announced the hiring of new head men’s basketball coach Dan Muller on Tuesday afternoon. Athletic Director Gary Friedman made the announcement inside of Redbird Arena in front of a crowd filled with media and fans. Muller becomes the 19th men’s basketball coach in ISU history.

The 37-year-old Muller returns to his old-college stomping grounds where he played for the Redbids from 1994-98. He had a great career for the ‘Birds, scoring more than 1,400 points, earning the MVC Defensive Player of the Year twice and helped lead ISU to two MVC championships. He currently ranks no. 10 in career scoring at ISU with 1,445 points. In 2009 Muller was inducted into the Illinois State Athletics Percy Family Hall of Fame.

Prior to being named head coach of ISU, Muller spent 12 years with Vanderbilt as an assistant under head coach, and former ISU head coach, Kevin Stallings. Since 2006 Muller held the responsibility of  recruiting coordinator for Vanderbilt and the school has seen some of the highest rated recruiting classes in it’s history. Muller was regarded as one of the top assistant coaches in the country.

It only took Friedman two weeks to fill the coaching vacancy left by Tim Jankovich, who left to take the coach in waiting job at Southern Methodist on Aug. 26.

Friedman said, “After talking with several basketball people across the country it was evident that Dan was the complete package, in terms of academics, recruiting, evaluation, player development, in-game coaching and game preparation. He also brings a strong coaching pedigree and a love for this institution and program. We are thrilled to have Dan back home to lead our men’s basketball program.”

Muller agreed to a five-year contract with a salary of $375,000 per year.

“It is an honor to be here today,” Muller said. “It’s good to be home. This is the ideal situation for me.”

Muller stressed winning championships, recruiting and graduating talented players and scheduling.

“We want to have an RPI that would put us in position for an at-large bid if we don’t win the league tournament,” he said. “We want to bring in opponents to Redbird that fans can be excited about and to go places where our student-athletes can have great experiences.”

ISU’s non-conference schedule has been among the weakest in the MVC under Jankovich. With games still needing to be scheduled for the 2012-13 season, Muller will have a chance to immediately come through on his promise.

Although Muller didn’t go into detail on what kind of  playing style he will implement, he did say they will run a “winning system.”

ISU will be returning all their players from a team that came up short in the MVC championship game last year. So, the expectations for next season are high and winning a Valley championship and heading to the NCAA tournament will be part of these expectations. Muller seems to be fully aware and prepared to fulfill these expectations.

NORMAL-Former Illinois State University basketball star Dan Muller will be introduced Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Redbird Arena as the new head basketball coach.

Muller played for the Redbirds from 1995-98 and will fill the vacant position left by Tim Jankovich, who took a position with Southern Methodist University. Muller has served as an assistant coach for Kevin Stallings, who coached Muller at ISU, the past 12 seasons. The last time ISU made the NCAA basketball tournament was 1998, Muller’s senior season.

The press conference on Tuesday will be open to the public.

Album: Blunderbuss

Artist: Jack White

Released; April 24^th

The White Stripes may have broken up last year but that does not mean that Jack White’s career is on hiatus. As a member of The Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and not to mention collaborations with Bob Dylan, Insane Clown Posse, Alicia Keys and Loretta Lyn, Jack White has been keeping himself busy. To add on to this artist’s impressive resume, he decided to release his debut solo album, Blunderbuss.

“Sixteen Saltines” has that toe tapping acting with all its promising drum and guitar action. Very fast paced and easy to listen to. “Love Interruption” will leave the heart yearning for more with its alternative/ country sound.

This album is chalk full of that blues and rock sound, with just a hint of country. It will definitely leave the fans of Jack White’s work very pleased. Aside from that, there isn’t much to say about the album. There wasn’t anything spectacular and it just sounded like Jack White being, well, Jack White. Regardless of being predictable, it’s still a stellar album.

Recommend Tracks: Sixteen Saltines, Love Interruption

Final Score: 7 out of 10
