10 jamz i jammed this week

Jesus this makes me feel like a 14 year old girl, but fuck it. Every Monday I'm gonna try to list ten jamz that got me through the week. ...until I get bored of it and quit. Think of it as a nice weekly mix tape from a boy that likes you and just won't give up until you get your older brother to egg his house. Sound good? cool. ..oh yeah just to be clear: these are not obscure bands, or bands to watch or bullshit like that, these are fucking JAMZ. The kind you dance (or cry, or whatever) in your room to.

Prince- I feel for you
I love me some Chaka Khan but the Prince version stayed in heavy rotation this week


Death- Keep on knockin
Reissued cult classic Detroit proto-punk from three African American brothers.


Gucci Mane- Running Back

Gucci Mane is super stoked on everything. Bonus!: string and beatbox (!?) breakdown



The Zeros-Beat your heart out
The Mexican Ramones


The Ramones- I wanna live
The American Ramones


Cerebra Ballzy- Insuficient Fare

New School hardcore


Black Flag-Depression
I saw the Decline of Western Civilization part 1 again recently so this song has burrowed into my brain.




Nobunny- I am a girlfriend
Do yourself a favor see this guy live. Fun and creepy at the same time. He should be playing Oakland plenty this summer



Bill Withers- The same love that made laugh




Chandra- Kate
Awesome early 80's postpunk by a 12 year. A fucking 12 year old




Update: Fuck! Imeem only lets you play 30 seconds of a song, click the "Play full song" link for the, you know, full song. Blogs!

Brandon jennings in Oakland?!!!



I swear to god, that if the stupid warriors dont pick brandon jennings or a similar point gaurd in the upcoming draft, i will call moses himself and make him do some biblical shit on the CEO's of this hopeless franchise. They must fuck up on purpose right? do they seriously not watch these highlights? or are they too busy jerking each other off. all the warriors need is a power foward, a point gaurd, get rid of maggette and crawford and we're set. thats it. simple as cake.

Mika Miko Business cats video

This video is a few years old but still pretty spectacular. I may have seen them at a house party a while ago but im not sure. I dont know what happened to their old drummer but she rocks it out pretty hard in this video( she also looks like ann from Arrested development, her?). Where are these types of girls in the bay area? Man LA is getting cooler by the minute. They kind of remind me of dad fag, another cool retro punk band. enjoy!

Upcoming movies: Nine and Whatever works. trailers.

I dont really like musicals.........but i do like Daniel Day Lewis and i liked chicago. Who didnt though right? right?? I guess DDL's character is based off of Fellini (the director not the bad cafe in berkeley) In all seriousness i wont see this in theaters because i would rather buy three 40's for the same price but eventually i'll see it some time next year when its available for dvd bit torrent download. the academy will probably suck DDL's weeny again and nominate him for an oscar and he probably deserves it. But come on hollywood lets get some other Latina woman other than penelope. she aiight but it took a nose job to make her look aiight. Maybe if you isolationists will go to spain or some other country you will realize that there are hotter ethnic women in the world. wait what the fuck? fergie is in this movie? who is her agent because she has gone the farthest in hollywood without having any talent whatsoever. but then again she plays a whore so that makes sense.


Now this is the movie that i will spend 12 dollars to see. Woody allen and Larry david!?!?!?Fuck yeah bitch. And with a new season of Curb coming out soon i think i will be hanging out (virtually) with larry david all summer. I think this comedy will suffice until the ricky gervais movie comes out in the fall. Plus its filmed in New york, uhh why shouldnt you see this movie?

Carlos is from Orange County Song!!!!Remix!

Carlos from orange county remixed song. Once again if you dont know carlos this wont be relevant or somewhat funny. you should probably read some other meaningless blog post. ( i had to put this song on bandcamp, imeem sucks by the WAY)

Artest! Rockets!B-ball

Now that the Warriors aren't in the playoffs im rooting for the Rockets to beat the lakers. Mostly because of Ron Artest. that dude doesnt give a fuck (even more so than Crawford). He's pretty funny and i wish the warriors would have gotten him last year but im sure there is a clause that stephen jackson and artest could never be on the same team ever again. Sure Kobe can do somersaults while shooting and dunking at the same time, but he is a pussy compared to Artest. I want to see Rockets and Nuggets in conference finals. Artest vs. birdman? cooooo.




Ron Artest: 'I Suck,' Is BK Hiring? (MySpace Exclusive)

Buraka Som Sistema - Aqui Para voces!!!Jizzzz

Damn i dont buy records, but this group is probably going to change my mind. I did get 16 dollars for my tax refund. thanks bush! Video is trippy, angola-portugal unite! This song is unreal tournament 4 so many rhythms going on i dont know which limb to move first. Dont understand 85% of what the girl is saying but its all good and genius. Like a chummmmp i missed them 10 days too late so this video will suffice until they resurface on this side of the pond.

Werdplay music video. My big wheel

WEEERRRRD? This beat is unbelievable. Chuck is back on the beat! Not really down with rappers (especially white ones) but this dude seems to have a personality and is pretty good with the wordsss. Eminem has turned into weird Al by just pretty much rapping about stuff that perez hilton blogs about, so i think this dude is going to be the king of white rappin. Video is cool as well.

Ben Gordon. the dumbest man of the universe.

Ben Gordon is dumb as shit. He lost the series for the bulls with his jamal-crawford style shot selection. You aint kobe homie. (at least crawford is gangster, he dont give a fuck about no hoe). How you gonna shoot a pull up 3 on a 4 on 1 fast break? fucking stupid. he was 6 for 23 or some shit. If its not falling, dont shoot man. The bulls need to get rid of him and let rose do his thing. This video clip pretty much describes Gordon in a nutshell.

2 drinks to try out at bars this weekend.



Fernet and Coke(or soda).
This is what the kids drink in Argentina, and it fucks you up. (Its 45% alcohol, more than whiskey!) After one or two with coke i switch it up and bat with soda, even out my sugar level. Its made from artichoke! but has a mint taste and it gives you fresh breath after you drink it.





The Presbyterian.
Whiskey with half soda half 7up. As a strong atheist i always feel weird asking for this drink especially when most bartenders in the bay dont know how to make these so i feel like a douche telling them what to do. But this an amazing drink. Im not really a sugar person so it has a good balance. Yeah i got lazy with these pics but whatever suck it.

total trash - ghostown may 2



This show must be off the H, if they are charging 9 dollars, but ive never been disappointed by any of their shows at the G-town. so if you are bored by those same 5 bars that are in the east bay go to this show and listen to live music. its been a while huh?

Reasons why Europe is cooler than US

Reason #1: They have good House music. I would rather watch this video than the "single ladies" Beyonce video. no homo. Yelle is ok but this remix is the s.h.i.t. People hate on house (me included) but when you start going to clubs in spain its all they play. you learn to love it, like "how i met your mother."

D-Lo No hoe. no hoe. no hoe

Hyphy. hella hard. The genius is the simplicity of the song obviously made with fruity loops. This song is addictive by the wayyys. The first version is the original and the other is the remix with E-40 and some other bay area fools. cotdamn.



With e-40

Demetri Martin - Taking Woodstock

Demetri Martin in an Ang Lee film? yeah buddyyyy. - Hopefully Martin's tv show gets picked up again. I mean how long will Mencia stay on the telly? Its like watching tar dry next to a racist fake mexican -.

Don't care for hippies but this movie looks pretty cool and it just got into the Cannes Film Festival. I trust Ang Lee to make sound judgments on his movies. Plus he helped an Argentine win an oscar. I doubt anyone will walk out of this movie saying "best movie ever" but im sure they will be pleasantly entertained. Its better than wasting two hours watching Christian Bale staring serious at someone and then yelling at them (referring to the upcoming terminator movie, isnt it tasteless to release a movie that already has a decrepit tv series still going on?) Christian Bale is like the 'Korn' of actors. You dudes are hella rich, why are ya'll so angry all the time, I'm just sayin'.

.... Liev Shreiber!!

Mjr Lzr. the truth

ahh finally music to get excited about. Brenton wood is the shit and all but his songs are like twice as old as me. Obviously this is on FADER, but sometimes people forget to go on that website. Plus i kinda got tired of that andy milonakis song (that dude is 30 or something!) Song made me cream myself...yeah crude humor rocks!

Is it hot? you need some Big pun and a cosmo!

Today was hella hot. it was humid muggy nasty dirty south hot. When it gets this hot i just want to hear "still not a player" near a body of water. Does anyone have a pool in the bay? Jeez i needs to go down to LA. When are we going to do a hip hop beach party? probably soooooooon. Super stories after this weekend, the devil is coming. What happened to Joe? should've bought a last name in the nineties bra bra. Oh and Miss california is still ffiiiiinnne. you dont need that crown boo boo.

Chase Bank commercial uses John Lennon song. Cool for us.

As many TV goers know, Chase is using Instant Karma by John Lennon for their ad campaign for taking over WAMU. Awesome. I'm glad they used our money to make shitty commercials with a blue video filter and taint a great lennon song. I guess lennon wasnt a good enough singer so they paid a Rob-thomas sound-alike to cover it. Im sure that fool is getting paid but will most likely contract full blown ebola-aids for being a douche. Instant karma, dick. Did yoko ono let this happen? strike 2 bitch. Im not going to put the commercial up here because thats letting the terrorist win so i'll just put up the original. Capitalism is sooooooo cool.

Melting Point Music Video!!!!NEW!

New, fresh like a blossoming daffodil. The first music video of Berkeley's Melting Point "Boy from outer space" filmed with RED cameras. Watch it in high quality. Especially for the hot chick in the video.Mmmmm aliens.
their myspace



R n B Millionaires. hollerrrrr

This is a new group from oakland. A-maize-ING. Probably the best R&B out there, they dont over extend their songs by repeating the chorus 7 times like most songs out there. And every song has rich melodies and creative beats. (they sampled cameron paul in '1st dance' represent San HoeSay) The best thing is that these songs aren't contrived or masturbatory like most new independent music. (Im looking at you pavement and folky kids) Cant wait for the mixtape. Finally got some new songs for the summer. (dont worry james brown, you are still in the mix)

Pee Ess. Check out Out da Club, they switch up the beats!

Hungry Like the Woolf

So, I find a lot of people bring up Eat, Pray, Love to me lately. This may be my fault. I told people about the book; also, I have recently been to one of the places that serves as a backdrop to one of Elizabeth Gilbert's many! epiphanies!

For the record, those two things have nothing to do with one another, and the more people allude to the book, the increasingly I become put off by said book. (BTW Martina, the "Drink, Repent, Hate" joke totally clicked for me just now. It's funny, but it's a little worrisome for me that it took a month for the reference to register. B'ah!)

Like, I'm too tired to get into this right now (Chorus: COP OUT!) but really, my likes and dislikes for E. Gilbert's memoirs are beside the point of this entry.  What I really want to share is the following passage:

"Virginia Woolf wrote, 'Across the broad continent of a woman's life falls the shadow of a sword.' One one side of the sword, there lies convention and tradition and order, where 'all is correct'. But on the other side of that sword, if you're crazy enough to cross it and choose a life that does not follow convention, 'all is confusion. Nothing follows a regular course.' Her argument was that the crossing of the shadow of the sword may bring a far more interesting existence to a woman, but you can bet that it will also be more perilous."

There. I had to preface the quote because if you Google it, all the search returns refer to E, P, L so I might as well be honest about where I found it, right? I'm a little frustrated that I can't find the full quotation in context, which may mean my interweb research skills are poor, or I was just an inattentive English major for not knowing off-hand which of Woolf's works it comes from.

I dunno. Maybe it was part of the material covered in 45C, but that was the semester I was falling asleep in the back of the lecture halls. (Wassup, squeaky chairs in LeConte!)

Anyway, if you're still reading - I think V. Woolf said some pretty legit stuff, so...make of it what you will.  

Seacrest out!

Public Enemies. yeah buddy

I figure i put a trailer of a movie that i do want to see. Public Enemies might not win any oscars but you cant go wrong with '30s style mobster movies. John Dillinger? what up!

'Cool-ass' Depp, 'Crazy-ass' Bale, 'sexy-ass' Cotillard. Cant go wrong.
Michael Mann directing?! he's alright. Heat was good until the ending. Miami vice and Ali were big pieces of wafting shit. But then again the Insider was a great suspenseful movie that established Russell Crowe's career.

So we'll see how this turns out but i doubt Depp will make a crappy serious movie. He does make crappy childish movies but thats ok, kids cant tell the difference. Plus the producers have some balls for releasing this movie in the summer so it must be that good. Hopefully by that time the recession will have rescinded and i can actually afford to pay 14 dollars to see this movie.

ps. Billy Crudup plays J. Edgar Hoover. brilliant. <---being sincere.

Are you obsessed? nope.

I saw a trailer of this movie on TV. I thought it was a goof, but apparently its a real movie. Beyonce still thinks she can act and has to be in the limelight every two weeks or she will wither into oblivion. Her over indulgent and contrived way of acting ruined the third Austin powers movie and made me not want to watch dreamgirls. She also played etta james in Cadillac Records. Qua? People must have forgotten that etta james was fat and ugly, not skinny and pretty like beyonce.

"I'll show you crazy" oh yeah beyonce? i guess the executive producer showed you crazy by allowing this project to be made. The storyline is beyond realistic and i think this is a TV movie of the week remake. The director is Steve Shill who is a TV director which makes sense because of the lesser than mediocre plot twists that this movie seems to have. This trailer actually tells you the story and end in 2 minutes. So my basis for this review is solid. I am going to go ahead and guess that this movie will be nominated for a razzie next year. I would rather watch a 90 minute version of any Geico commercial. At least those are original and sometimes entertaining. When will Beyonce go away? probably when she starts getting compared to dane cook in acting ability. Oh and Jerry O'Connell is the supporting actor, so that will appeal to the "no one cares "demographic

Vegans need to go.





You’re a vegan? For reals? You sure you’re not being “facetious”? (Inept dilettantes like using this word now, thinking it may elevate their intelligence but it doesn’t.) So you stop eating anything delicious just to make a point? And what point is that? That you are a cunt? (I'm only calling you cunts because I don’t know your hippie names personally) There is no reason whatsoever to be a vegan. Not even for diet purposes. If you want to lose weight, then exercise bitch. Its unnatural, it’s elitist, it’s an obvious proud product of economic imperialism, and it’s a serious sign of being mentally ill.

Unnatural.

Whatever some stupid upper class dalai lama-lover told you that being vegan is being one with nature and the elements of the universe is a drugged out imbecile. Our teeth are used to break down and chew meat. We take necessary nutrients and fats needed to grow and stay healthy. Why do you think its illegal to feed a baby a vegan diet? Because there aren’t sufficient vitamins and nutrients in that raw piece of East Indian grass you got there beatnik. You will go straight to jail if you do not give your baby the meat it needs.

As humans we have been eating meat since we began to walk upright but yeah of course. You’re right liberal douche bag. Your diet is the best and only way to have a healthy diet. The millenniums of human evolution fucked up and you’re ideology is inherently correct because, after all, you do have a bachelors in Sustainable Peach Growing from UC Berkeley, you cant be wrong about it. I mean every developed country in the world (even some of the non developed ones) have healthy citizens that live into their 70’s and eat chicken, pork, and even…dun dun DUN… RED MEAT.

The myth that beef is bad for you is as stupid and overdone as crocs and snuggies. Argentina, for example, eats more red meat than any country in the world and they don’t have an obesity epidemic, YOU Americans do. Maybe it’s the shit fast food that caused the obesity problem, not the cows themselves. You can never blame greed and corporations can you? Of course not because you worry yourself with platitudinous subjects like animal rights instead of pertinent topics like war, exploitation and poverty. It might be because those topics are too complex for you to understand so you cry over some dogs that Mr. Vick may or may not have killed. (I hope the raiders sign him)

Background Life

If you are a Vegan, it is most likely that your momma didn’t know how to cook or she refused to cook. Because if anyone in this world has had any homemade meals than they know how delicious REAL food can be. No restaurant in the world is better than your mom’s cooking, if, that is, your momma knew how to cook. Most likely you are anglo-saxon white if you had some bland-ass dry-ass gross-ass food growing up, because if you are any other ethnicity you have no excuse for growing up with bad food. Growing up with bad food is something that needs to be explored by your therapist in great detail, because in my professional opinion (yes I am a professional, just because I don’t get paid doesn’t mean my shit aint gold mutha fucka) if you are deprived of homemade meals as a child, that is straight up abuse and you don’t have to take it. Just go to your nearby taqueria and get yourself some al pastor tacos, it will not cure you, but it will relieve some pent up aggression towards your horrible and malicious parents.

Semantics

Vegans supposedly don’t eat food products that come from animals. Word? …What the fuck is wrong with you? Does honey count, because that shit is delicious, I would eat honey even with bees stuck inside. Chomp Chomp.
Ok so milk and cheese is out, which leaves you with what? Just fruits and vegetables? But what about fruits and vegetables that grew in fertilizer that was made from Horse poo? Oh so you cant even eat vegetables that was farmed with animal manure? Damn you vegans got it rough. Fuck Darfur, give these Vegans some humanitarian aid, no wonder they look so gaunt. Poor pussy Yippies, if only they could obtain some protein and fat into their weak system.

Oh and from now on, if you want to be pretentious to us non vegans, then you can’t use the name of our foods and change the entire recipe. Cheese, for example, comes from either a cow, a goat, or a lady, not from soy or some other useless plant. Curdled piss looks like cheese but we don’t call it cheese now do we….do we? Or there is this thing called vegannaise (I hope I'm spelling it wrong) which is a vegan substitute to mayonnaise. This substitute contains soy protein, brown rice syrup and some other nasty shit that, not surprisingly, taste like nasty ass shit. Stop trying to trick your taste buds, if you want some mayonnaise, eat some mayonnaise, if not shut the fuck up and finish your dirt pie AS IS.

Addressing the Vegans

You want to partake in these paradoxical events (Cheese without the cheese, mayonnaise without eggs) because you want to have your cake and it eat too, but of course without any butter. You seem to believe that you are entitled to reject foods of the masses and urban underlings and enjoy your selective poorly-farmed food products that cost more money because it allows your ego to grow and condescend upon the rest of the population. Your superiority is constantly questioned (Segregation is gone, everyone can afford tv’s and ipods, a black man is president) and so now you must create an elitist pseudo culture in order to validate your puny and insipid existence.

Do you know how hard other countries laugh at your ascetic ways? Even the starving laugh, but at the same time cry because they do not have the luxury to even think about choosing to be vegan. The starving are SO vegan that they don’t eat anything. What now 35 year old-dreadlocked-white guy from Walnut Creek. How insulting is that? Has a vegan person ever met a poor person? How would that conversation go?

Haitian – “You are from America yes?”
Vegan – “Aw man, don’t judge me for than maaann. That’s why I'm traveling dude, just trying to get away from all those negative vibes there man.
Haitian – “Well it is nice that you get to travel. I must stay here in my poor village to work and feed my mother and sisters. As you know, there has been a food shortage in my country. I hear you Americans eat a lot?”
Vegan – “yea maaann. America is just filled with stupid fat white men. But that’s not me though bro. I’m a vegan, so I can get closer to the earth.
Haitian – “What is vegan?”
Vegan – “Oh let me tell you about it. Its this lifestyle where you only eat what is natural, no animals or animal products like cheese and milk. Just organic vegetables and fruits.”
Haitian – “So you cannot eat animals?”
Vegan – “Well I can, but I choose not to”
Haitian – “So you choose not to eat animals?...”
Vegan – “…yeah maaann. One with nature.”
Haitan – “Can we exchange passports?”

Just like gentrification, veganism is another pernicious bloodsport that bored wealthy people are participating in, due to their lack of culture and family bonding. They obviously do not realize their insensitive racism and ignorance that they emit into society because they never consider the opposite situation.
You want to move into the ghetto? That’s good, then we send one ghetto ass kid into your suburban neighborhood. Tit for tat. You want to eat like a third worlder? Fine then ship your dumb-ass to the Sahara and live there without a job or internship. You will be eating dry rice every day. Every. Day. Your dream come true.

Why?

Extraneous! Extraneous! Extraneous!
Why torture yourself? Its obviously not going to stop global warming. It wont even buy us a minute. Is it going to get you laid? Your veganism wont, but your drugs might help. It is going to help you live longer? Probably not. Even if it gave you 5 years to your life, does dying at 70 that different from dying at 75? So you forfeit any pleasure from food for the rest of your life just to live an extra few years, if that’s even the case? That’s why veganism needs to be seriously studied and attributed towards mental illness. If anorexia is a disease, than so should veganism. Its actually worse because people who suffer from anorexia aren’t super bombastic. “Psh. You eat? Gross”

Solution

I propose a quarantine for vegans, just in case this affliction spreads to the youth. Lets give them North Richmond and people from North Richmond should move into North Berkeley. I think its fair. Maybe the toxins from Chevron and the lack of employment opportunities will shake some goddamn sense into their dense minds. It may be “cool” to eat like a starving man, until you are actually starving, man.
