re: 2009 OSCARS – Toronto is full of like-minded mandroids…

NadSyde points out this from the TORONTO STAR; their critic Peter Howell agrees that leaving The Dark Knight out of the Best Picture nominations is a tragic omission

FREE mix from Animal Collective

The ALLEZ ALLEZ blog has a new FREE mix from J.Deacon of the ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, whose new album I still need to hear…

IBUKI is launched! Look up! (It’s really far up there)

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

IBUKI will look down on the earth in quiet mechanical judgement…

are you L O S T ?

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

If you’ve never seen LOST, I certainly don’t suggest that you start now.  In fact, that would be a HORRIBLE idea.  You’ve got to start from the beginning, with the DVD’s/BluRay’s/online episodes.  But if you are up to date, you’re probably excited by the start of season 5 this week.  Well, how big a fan […]

Could SAG destroy the film industry?

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

www.savethebiz.org thinks so!  While I support the Screen Actors Guild and my homies that are members, another work stoppage could be a huge blow to the thousands of people that work below the line.  Thanks to Christina for the link.

DAMN! Adrian Wilson can jump so much higher than white men!

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

If you haven’t seen Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson jumping a 66 inch high pole on YouTube, well here you go: Unfortunately, I have to admit I heard about this via Jim Rome’s ESPN show. At least it is a sweet video…

a little bit of LITTLE BOOTS

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

If you’re into electropop -type dance jams, then you’ve got to check out LITTLE BOOTS.  I’ve had this remix of their hit “Meddle” on repeat almost constantly recently…a GREAT song.  DOWNLOAD HERE! Also, Little Boots (which is apparently a guy and a gal) have some free mixtapes floating around the internet.  DOWNLOAD ONE OF THEM […]

OSCARS, … schmoscars?

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Well, the nominations for the 2009 Academy Awards were announced about 12 hours ago and… they’re pretty boring, but not exactly free of surprises.  The academy (AMPAS) avoided having their ceremony picketed by legions of 15-year-olds by giving Heath Ledger the nomination he so justly deserved, but The Dark Knight went un-nominated as did its […]

Thanks, HOMIES : MC Chris is in effect

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I had heard of, but never listened to M.C. CHRIS until Dirt put me onto a song of his called “Fett’s Vette” which was not what I was expecting at all.  I was expecting some back-packer-type hip hop but M.C. Chris is something…else. http://www.mcchris.com/ http://www.myspace.com/mcchris Fett’s Vette (live, I believe…) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRhnw1gFuDA

LA, esse :

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

NadSyde recently sent me this list of the “Top 10 Pizza Joints in LA” from a Los Angeles Times writer (they still make newspapers?).  I have only eaten at 2 that I know of, but if the rest of the list is as good as MOZZA and PALERMO’s, then it is worth confirming the worthiness […]
