  1. ^^ do you think a film with tom cruise has any enjoyment to be had? a badly made documentary about the culture of making hiphop beats from mined records aka crate diggin'. ends up being just over an hour of guys talking into the camera about the same thing and beyond sloppy camera work with 0 research or effort given also, everyone interviewed has a very high opinion of themselves
  2. brad paisley & ll cool j - accidental racist really good rap by uncle l
  3. a (sort of secret) elite team of japanese high school girls doing covert operations for the government and using a yoyo as their weapon of choice. this was very popular in nippon and eventually spawned an anime series, three movies and i'm hoping some collectable yoyos. not sure how the new stuff compares but the original 80s series kicks some serious arse (and bitchin' hairstyles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MMfUvm4g18

  5. yep. love the queen of the vagina. can't believe she's still shaking her stuff just realized she dropped a new classic 'haters eat my stinky toilet poo poo' right up there with 'michelle obama is whore'
  6. 3 microphones in the studio representing the sound of different decades and only thomas can hear the difference. i don't know why but that made me roll my eyes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SkpTRrAliA

  8. nigeria 70: sweet times afro-funk, highlife & juju from 1970s lagos: unlike the previous 'nigeria 70' compilations that had a more western approach to afrobeat, this is more traditional, heavy and ethnic sounding. if fela kuti is what was popular in the downtown lagos discos, then most of these guys are who you would have heard if you went to the more dimly lit dives or rural clubs. the linear notes give a really interesting account of just who these guys are (the don isaac ezekiel combination is comprised of college students who cooked up a few tunes that ended up on a rare 45 whilst the victor olaiya & his allstars were a popular juju band of the time) and gives you a good idea of the spectrum being covered. harmony melody & style: lovers rock in the uk 1975 - 1992: chilled out r&b influenced reggae joints all based around the subject of love. other than being (perhaps) a nice roundup of music from the aforementioned time period, nothing here really stands out as being anything other than late-night radio friendly . kon & amir present off track 3: brookyln: these two (2) guys are a well respected record collecting duo that mostly work as music consultants to rap/hiphop producers, rappers and record collectors while moon-lighting as record revivalists; amir reissues some of this stuff. without, however, a nod from people like pete rock and the beanuts you wouldn't know because their own track record is full of output like this: shoddy, boring, who-the-hell-cares "rare" disco-jazz-funk mixes like this one. the title for this album(?) comes from their own bootleg mix tapes that mostly consisted of original sampled songs from numerous songs popular at the time mixed in with similar sounding songs. unfortunately, the pattern of consistency dropped off immediately everyone figured out how to walk into a record store and buy the original records themselves.

  10. 50 shades of decay (waxen wings compilation) http://waxenwings.bandcamp.com/album/50-shades-of-decay a non-themed, 'anything goes,' general noise compilation released in what will now be a yearly tradition. also, this might be late, but they're still accepting submissions for their strings compilation
  11. anonymous dedication to american noise masters http://anonymousdamn.bandcamp.com/ haven't listened to all of these but really love them so far. i kinda wish some of them were longer but whatever (i suppose). the 24 hour japanese torture comedy marathon http://grindcorekaraoke.com/album/the-24-hour-japanese-torture-comedy-marathon 24 continuous hours of live power electronics. haven't made it all the way through yet

  13. tyler the creator - wolf: tyler the creator doing odd future versions of rap songs that inspired him using the eminem/stan strategy. could not make it past track 7 (featuring frank ocean) due to repetitive nature of this theme. junior vasquez - voguing & the house ballroom scene of new york city 1976-96: if you've seen the documentary then you might be familiar with what voguing is. this is a collection of the quintessential voguing music from someone that sounds like they'd be an authority on the subject. while some of the tracks are just free form dance workouts- most are remixes of house tracks i've never heard of while others are even loser interpretations of other songs with the occasional slow jam added in to (i suppose) give dancers a minute to catch their breathe- and it's over 3hrs of this kind of thing. some of the tracks are nice- most of the others are not.

  15. i had the first 2 episodes of this new show on dvr so i decided to catch it last night. it's a prequel to psycho with the exception that it takes place in the 'hope-you-don't-mind-as-we-won't-actually-remain-accurate-to-that-storyline-all-that-much' universe. what does that mean? well- norman bates listens to his music on an ipod, girls love him, he loves manga comics and has a brother that looks like an extra from degrassi. also his mommy is vera farmiga. oh- and you know how the events of psycho take places in arizona? yes. forget that. now they take place in some fictional town in northern california that looks like a cross between dc and marin county. in short- if you watched psycho- this is the complete opposite of that (except the name norman bates that required to be mentioned by every character at least 5 times to reinforce that it was in fact norman bates we were looking at)

  17. tod dockstader - recorded music for film, radio & television vol. 1 & 2: mordant music released the first volume last year and just recently chucked the 2nd out. this falls into the early electronic sound spectrum except it's probably a little more polished structure-wise and edited to work as library music originally put out on the boosey & hawkes label back in the 80s. despite the "new packaging" and remastering a lot of these tracks are really boring- occasionally you get to hear something interesting (like 'pond dance', 'black hole dropout' and 'sundrift' on the first volume or 'snowbell waltz', 'tictac' and 'boingo background' on the second) but everything else functions more as a sonic history of electronic music rather than entertainment
  18. not sure coz he really worked best under the direction of summo hung. in one of the films (forget which one) they do this fantastic rehash from lurel and hardy where the girlfriend comes to dinner and bao is trying to kill jackie whilst summo comes over to warn him that bao is crazed. classic *ish did you watch that on amc? i saw it on. love helen mirren as a russian <3 right now: 8.5 out of 10 stab wounds.
  19. yep. that fight scene with benny the jet went down in history when kung fu magazine rated it the best choreographed. also, how attractive was lola forner? i really miss when they were a trio and were doing these fun-action comedies. good choreography, set design, props, music and costumes, zero story. i guess a good idea if you can't make it to a show (or convince yourself shelling out almost 200 bucks for a live show is a good idea) really bad. basically, the plot from the first mission impossible film (and the charlie's angels' film) with the team from national treasure. it used to be that these other films were trying to rip off bond, now bond is ripping them off.
