Somehow during a coversation with Ack this week I used the phrase "suave bola", which I've always loved even though I have no idea what it actually means. Awesome translation do-hickey Babel Fish tells me the direct translation to english is "smooth ball", which seems a little less cooler than I would've imagined. Although I guess if it means someone is a "smooth baller", then I guess that's cool. If the kids still say "baller", I have no idea. That's a lot of quotes right there, Eddy Rodgers would approve. Anyway, I knew that [...]
Sans Depeche Mode, on écouterait probablement du doom metal à 3bpm sur des vinyles limités à 250 exemplaires, on porterait des pantalons en velours marron, on aurait un diplôme d'éducateur spécialisé, on roulerait du Drum et tous nos potes seraient des mecs. Sans 3rd Bass, Vanilla Ice vendrait sans doute encore des disques et on [...]

Credit: Oh Word . By the time you're reading this I am either en route to or in New York. It's my first trip there in about more than 10 years. We're going for a wedding, but (shameless plug) I'll also be turning 30 on Friday. We may even take in a Yankees game on Wednesday night. In my absence, Jeff from Passion of the Weiss will drop by in his little free time to post. We're also bringing the laptop, so it's possibly I'll bore you from [...]
Lately, I've been completely immersed in Tom Waits . I've been looping through all his eras; the beat-poet troubadour (the 70's); the Frank Wild Years trilogy; the clanking percussion experimentation. I forgot how much I loved his early work, but I also forgot how amazing his transformation as an artist and a person has been. I won't be the first to say that Waits truly was what he sang about, a drunken street urchin that made you wonder if he spoke in fact or fiction, but he evolved and aged into an interesting interview, a family man, a [...]

The best book ever written about hip-hop is ego trip's Book of Rap Lists. It igonores the academic hand-ringing of most rap tomes and instead revels in the clowning and geekery that is hip-hop's real bedrock. Now the merry pranksters at ego trip have gone a step further and made the best ever hip-hop TV series: VH1's ridiculously entertaining The (white) Rapper Show...
OK, I admit it - I watch VH1's The White Rapper Show. Yes, it's another reality TV show, but I like the twist - a bunch of white rappers compete against each other for prizes and the perhaps dubious tag of the "next Eminem". They live in Brooklyn in less than fabulous quarters, dubbed "The White House". They get visits from some of hip hop's big names - Grandmaster Flash, Fat Joe, Juelz Santana,

"Sounds like a culture clash!" -- Tom on the quality gulf between Japanese and American recorder construction ?I want him to get caught, but I just want to see him just beat the odds for 40 minutes." -- Tom, wishing for an airborne predator "You want me to go after someone from Destiny's Child? You?re first, buddy." -- God, sorting out his pecking order and targeting Spike for damnation "Can?t let some numbskull drive the bus. I?m driving the bus! It?s my show!? -- Tom, revoking [...]
from 87 through about 95/96 I was a pretty huge hip hop fan.  since then i have not paid much attention to the genre, cause frankly 98% of the stuff i have heard has been a sorry excuse. sure there are a few artists like aesop rock, mr lif, cannibal ox, el p, and a few others still droppin the science, but as a whole hip hop is in the shitter. any argument to the contrary is complete nonsense and as they used to say "straight up booty whack." well, over the past 8 months tommy boy records have released 12 volumes of what they consider to be [...]
