In the last 12 hours or so, redditors have gone apey in the comments over Netherlands standup Ronald Goedemondt and his impression of the questionably self-aware, melodramatic dimwittedness of Nicolas Cage. Also, Nick Cage in a movie about chasing ghosts around a library? Greenlight that sucker! h/t 22 Words Follow @BrianAbrams
NYC comic J-L Cauvin nails the modern king of comedy in this sketch , uploaded Tuesday to his YouTube account. Not only is the impression totally on-point with Louis C.K.'s cavalier disposition and bad posture in front of the Comedy Cellar's signature brick wall, but what's icing is the idol worship that surrounds Louis every time he talks about his four-year-old asshole child. Is there anything Louis says that isn't heelarious? Apparently not. Cauvin - great job, man. h/t J-L Cauvin [...]
I can't think of one single song/performance that combines such maturity, masculinity without being macho, regality, and just downright dignified soul. Originally performed & released in 1961 by then ex-Impressions vocalist, Jerry Butler, this Mayfield-penned tune was later redone by the Impressions in 1967. Their version, with Sam Gooden taking the lead, was ALMOST as good. Before: Jerry Butler - Aware of Love (1961) After: The Impressions - Aware of Love (1967)

Video by G. The other night I saw the incredibly funny Fred Armisen in concert. It was a mix of music, videos and stand up comedy. He told the audience that he is a master of doing impersonations of accents. In fact, he encouraged the audience to request an accent and Fred would impersonate it. And it went a little something like this... [...]
Istanbul is a vibrant, busy, buzzing city. This can be seen most of all on İstiklâl Caddesi (Independence Avenue), its three kilometre long main shopping street. With more than 3 million people visit the street on a weekend day, it's never quiet. Even on weekdays, late into the evening, people were walking the street, visiting the shops and taking in the sights. [...]

"Shall I tell it like it is? Ain't none of your business... Yes it is!" An unforgettable story. Which is followed by another track from the same '69 soul gem, a great great song about that seven year itch. "I've got the girl I waited for, she's just a wife and nothing more..."

The Mallu rockers brought an uninspired, borderline-embarrassing show to the Blue Frog, Mumbai last week, where we were privy to more of the frontman's bare leg than his vocal capabilities.
And another of this week's Reruns: this time it's my post about the Impressions' classic hit, "We're a Winner." http://reselect.com/2011/06/cu rtis-mayfield-the-impressions- were-a-winner/ Share This Post » Tweet Facebook LinkedIn Tumblr Stumble Digg Delicious
![Impressions of SKYWLKR [Audio]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4282273_lg.jpg)
If you tweaked out at all while listening to Danny Brown 's XXX , SKYWLKR probably had something to do with it, along with whatever drugs you happened to be on at the time. He produced a handful of the album's best tracks ("Die Like A Rockstar," "Bruiser Brigade") and has also served up beats for the likes of Main Attrakionz , [...]
Detroit-based up-and-comer Skywlkr came through this week with Impressions, a collection of his instrumentals. These beats having been used and abused already by Danny Brown , Main Attraktionz, Boldy James , and others, there may be a slight deja vu scenario here, where you might feel as if you’ve heard them before. The drum programming is always surgically precise, as evidenced on the mid-album neck snapper “Ponzy Scheme”, the bass tends to have little trouble filling the room, as on “Bruiser Brigade”, and the aesthetic tends to favor washy, soft-focus paranoia (as on “Sephiroth”) [...]
Il est des festivals qui ne cherchent pas l’appât du grand public et qui, suivant leur ligne de base, continuent toujours à aller de l’avant - certes - mais dans la bonne direction. Comme vous avez pu me l’entendre pester il y a de ceci deux semaines, je ne parle ni du Paléo , ni du Montreux Jazz . Non, si je suis présent dans vos oreilles ce soir, c’est pour vous présenter ou vous rappeler le Mapping Festival , du 10 au 20 Mai dans notre région genevoise, région qui de plus en plus d’ailleurs [...]
Comme je suis un peu de mauvaise humeur, j’ai décidé de vous parler de quelque chose que tout le monde connaît. Aucune surprise car on ne l’oublie pas. On ne l'oublie pas puisque c’est un jours férié. Et oui vous le considérez tous comme génial, vous hésitez même tous à faire le pont ce lundi. Vous l’avez devinez j’en suis sûr, si je suis ici, c’est pour vous parlez de ce premier Mai et de la fête du travail. Tout le monde dit connaître ce jours férié mais saviez vous qu’en fait il ne l’est pas? Non apparemment en [...]
Cette semaine il y avait deux grands rendez-vous que j’attendais impatiemment, bave à la bouche, comme la majorité des mélomanes d’ailleurs. Vous vous en doutez bien, tout le monde en parle, c’est l’arrivée des programmes du Paléo Festival et du Montreux Jazz . Ha, l’attente des programmations. C’est bien quelque chose qui réunit tout le monde. Que l’on aime ou non le festival en question, dès que sa programmation sort, on ne peut s’empêcher d’aller cliquer sur le lien tout tremblant ou ouvrir le journal frénétiquement car espérant y retrouver son idole de toujours. Joies [...]
Vous serez certainement surpris d'apprendre que je mange encore un oeuf en chocolat alors que - à cause des fêtes - tous les magasins seraient en rupture de stock… Mais ne vous méprenez pas, je n'en ai pas acheté récemment. C'est juste que le week-end passé, j'en ai trouvé des tas. Et il ne faut pas que je gaspille vous comprenez... Mais bon comme vous m'êtes sympathiques, je vais vous dévoiler ma fructueuse cachette. Figurer vous que ce n'était pas en pleine forêt, dans le jardin de mes grands-parents ou dans l'antre d'un dragon pluri-millénaire mais bel et bien [...]
