Click here to view the embedded video. First off, I freaking hate youtube and am only posting this because it's the only place I can find this video. The 48 Hour film festival is rolling through something like 80 cities as we speak . If you're dense like me - the 48 hour film festival is for movies made in 48 hours. It's not just the buddy cop film played on repeat for 2 straight days*. Cleveland just had theirs a couple of weekends ago and it produced this film [...]
Zach Hurd has been sending me over some samples from his upcoming album "Changing Landscapes" and I have to say they're pretty phenomenal. I'd leak the tracks so that you could download them and have your ears explode, but they're not properly mixed yet so you're going to have to wait for now. Originally from Maine - Zach has been playing shows around NYC for a couple of years now and has spent the last several months in the studio getting his debut full-length ready for action. Stay tuned. If you want to buy an early [...]
If it was up to me, I'd have a new remix of this to post ever day. I'm way too lazy to actually do that, but it would be pretty sweet. Like the time I got money after I lost one of my teeth. That was really kickass. La Roux - "Tigerlily (B Rich Remix)"
If I was in the middle of saving someone's life, I would most surely walk away and let them die for the chance to get Atmosphere tickets. I'd probably melt the rubber off the bottom of my shoes* trying to get to the front of the line. Why? Because MC Slug is as equally intoxicating live as he is recorded. Just don't ask him to play "Fuck You Lucy." It's not a good idea. I'm always amazed at how many people aren't in love with Atmosphere. But if I had 30 bucks for every voicemail that said [...]
It's my last day at the best job I've ever had sans my brief stint as a secret op. I don't have time to really write anything wicked sweet. But these are the two songs getting me through the day. La Roux is pretty fucking sweet. I'll do them proper justice later. For now, just kick these tunes and try not to cry. Because crying isn't manly.* La Roux - "Tiger Lily" La Roux - "Quicksand" * Unless it gets you laid.
Felt is made up of Slug and Murs. Felt is awesome. I would try ot describe Felt and their albums but I think this quote off of one of their sites says it best - "So really, what the hell is FELT? FELT is a musical collaboration with the long-term goal of having sex with b-level Hollywood actresses. This record is not for the love of Hip Hop. The album is not to prove whose city has a better-implemented smoking ban. It's solely a vehicle for rappers to have celebrity sex." [...]
You should listen to the song and then come read this. I know for a fact you're a d-bag and you're not going to listen to me. I'm just saying if you had an ounce of soul you'd groove out to the track for a minute and then come back to read this after. Because I'm about to drop one of those "The More You Know" stars over your head. There is a project in New York. It has something to do with helping kids through music or something foolish like that. It's definitely got something to [...]
Or, perhaps, even more accurate, shame on me. I haven't written a post in a month! I could give excuses about how I've been hard at work, slaving away as Assistant Director on an amazing play co-produced by Furious Theatre Company and the Theatre @ Boston Court currently running in Pasadena... but I won't. I'll just say that things have been hectic. So hectic in fact, Monday nights have been my only nights off this summer. So I, along with a few of my friends from work, decided to begin [...]
If I lived in Oklahoma, I would be depressed out of my mind. Literally. Like in the Jalen Rose literally kind of way.* I don't know what the fuck would get me out of bed. There are probably like 18 hot chicks in the whole state. I bet they all have boyfriends and believe in things like "marriage" and "forever" and "commitment." No thank you. Keep those fools in Oklahoma. I hear great weather is harder to find than a hot chick. No oceans. And I haven't checked my topography map recently, but I'm pretty sure your average town [...]
My buddy Brian is a hitman based out of Toledo. Sometimes he doesn't just assasinate people though. Sometimes he uses his Ninja/Gun fighting skills just to fuck people up or threaten them or something. When ever I'm feeling down and need to hear something pretty badass I give him a ring to get the official word that's hitting the street. When I called him the other day he was in the middle of holding some dude at gunpoint to get a top-secret super official CD from this mad boss dude. So he "confiscates" the CD and sends it my way [...]
I don't know about the rest of you slackers, but I have to rock this week hard. Besides an inordinate amount of drugs and caffeine to keep me up, running, and fueled, I'll be rocking these songs on repeat for a constant mojo flow that would leave your mom panting in a pile of her own drool. Wale is from D.C. and has been tearing the VA seen up for years. And as we all know - Lady Gaga is fucking out of her mind. She wore a bunch of Kermit puppets the other day to an interview. Yes. [...]
I spent the afternoon laying around in the L.A. sun. Partly because tan lines are sexxxy and also because it was too hot to do anything else. I passed the wave of heat by steady grooving to the sounds of Alan Wilkis' new album "Purple and Rain." I popped in the CD to my iPod and just steady laid back as I watched all the tall blond bombshells roll by. The funky beats are pure sensory overload. Like one of those sensory deprivation tanks that John Cage used to talk about - but completely opposite. Some might say it's like [...]
Andrew Trouble is playing at the Avalon next Saturday (8.1.09) @ 7:00pm. He played at the Hollywood bowl recently with Santo(i)[a]gold. This time he's back with N*E*R*D. These are the first two tracks off his self-titled album "Trouble Andrew" which you can get here. Bang Bang rocks Santigolds voice in a whole new trip which I just can't get enough of. If you like music that isn't for losers this shit might be up your alley. Chasing money and making guns go bang bang. The fucking breakfast of champions if you ask me. [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Since we changed our banner throngs of people have been stopping me on the street to ask me questions about the devlishly good dancer center frame. Alright, I'm here to settle everyone down and lay all of your questions to bed. Then speaking of laying to bed - Your Mom. In no particular order, your questions answered: No it is not me. Yes, you do recognize him for a reason. It's because he's on Tv. When he's not knocking hot boxes socks off on the dance floor - he's [...]
It brings me some sort of awesome pleasure to let you in on the big secret of knowing who won the Night Lights tickets. First off my ultra random algorithm said that Jerry Cervantes had to be a winner because he's a teacher. And teachers blow my fucking mind. If I had to spend that much time around kids...let's just say there wouldn't be as many kids. Teachers should get everything for free I think. They are modern milace workers. So my hats off to you Jerry. LIterally, I don't even wear a hat. So it's for sure definitely [...]
I feel like Ratatat* remixing Jay-Z** is little unfair. Fishing with hand grenades, hitting the Olympics on roids, or waiting for kids with a chainsaw behind a bush on Halloween so you can get their pillowcases full of candy at the end of the night, I mean I could go on but I think you get the point. It's just too good. It's almost like staring at the sun, it feels awesome. But man that shit will fuck you up. Don't ever count to twenty. Now, If I was going to, say, hypothetically try to kidnap the lead [...]
My mother would disown me if she saw the list of things I'd be willing to do for the chance at 15 minutes alone with the lead singer of The Sounds. I'm just saying the things wouldn't be good. At all. Whatever you think is the worst thing ever, I'd be willing to do that. Probaly twice. My mother would probably pass out before she even got through the first thing on the list. It would be that bad. But the chick is indeed that hot. And she says adorable things like "I want to be the best singer [...]
Every now and then I suspect I might have super-hero powers. I melted a harddrive the other day just by touching it. I lost all of my data. I think there are some X-Men that have this problem, no? I don't know, could be a coincidence. It was for this reason that I found myself hunting online to replace an mp3 by a band named Islands . What started out as a recon mission ended up a treasure hunt. Unfortunately for me there were no pirates (of the sailing variety) on this adventure for treasure, but I [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. TIWWI (This is What We Imagine) has an event downtown at the E2 building this weekend to raise money for kids (See video above). I despise kids mostly. So we should give them as much money as possible to help them out. Money fixes everything. The song Mo' Money Mo' Problems is the biggest piece of propaganda... since the last big piece of significant propaganda. Of course people with money will tell you the more money you have the more problems [...]
Beer commercials are fucking awesome. I don't even drink beer and I like watching them. Because they tell you which product is the best one to buy AND they teach you the greatest skill ever. How to get surrounded by the hottest chicks you've ever seen. And I'm not talking about the dudes you hang out with in your basement, no I'm talking about super model chicks. The kind of super model chicks that are bound to be at your neighborhood bar. Because where do you think chicks go at night? The neighborhood bar. And you know what's double [...]
