You’re Gonna Love My Nuts

You’ve just gotta watch this, if you are one of the four people who haven’t already. It kinda sucks Vince got his tongue bit by a pros, and then beat her up, I was enjoying the Offer v. Mays infomercial battle. Oh well, you’re gonna love his nuts anyhow…unless he owes you money.

Read Tim S. on Joint Contrast

Hey all. Sorry, once again for the sporadic postings, but I’ve been watching the Steelers stomp on people and trying to conceptualize a business offering or two (yeah right…sounded good for a second though…). However, I just wanted to lead you readers to a friend of mine who is doing some writing over at Joint Contrast, a nice blog on music, culture, sports, and lots of other stuff I know you love.

Anyways, Tim S. has been like a brother to me for a long time now, even if we haven’t always been in continual contact (read: I’m an asshole who does a piss poor job of staying in touch…I know, I know). Other than being my bro, Tim is a great writer and you should encourage him by reading his posts. Check out his Top Ten Albums of 2008 Pt. 1, Pt. 2, and Pt. 3.

Can’t Buy Me Love Kubrick

Nice 1000% Kubricks from Medicom and Silly Thing featuring your favorite brit pop legends. All the dolls are 2’3″ so they’ll be like little friends who can’t make fun of how awkward and lonely your life is…always a good thing. Ringo’s the shit.

Georgeous New Acrylick Shirts

Acrylick kills it in these, can’t pick a favorite. Hurry up, it’s Christmas-time you Western, Monotheistic nutcases. Nah, I’m kidding, Christ, you know I love you. Happy early-birthday baby Jesus.

Get Drank

I think my brother told me about this first, but I finally saw their press release and website and it is as good as anything this side John’s winery. Drank is essentially, or ostensibly, legal syrup, which is just great for the kids. What it really is is valerian root, melatonin and rose hips (now, that’s gangsta). Drank, the first “EXTREME RELAXATION” drink, promises to “slow your role,” and “may cause one to lean.” Nice.

Sly Fox…

So, I have to post the lyrics of at least one of the songs from the new Nas album. I could’ve picked any one of them, to be honest, and it would be light-years ahead of anyone else spitting right now. I don’t know, some of the songs on there…I’m not sure I’ve heard better in the last decade. I’m glad I grew up on Nas. I think of my pops taking Penny to Dylan concerts, and it driving her crazy that you can’t understand him. I hope when I’m 56 I’m taking wifey to Nas concerts, and she’s pissed cause he keeps cussing and using that word…you just ain’t hearing him baby…Like Timmy said, ” Nas is that dude.” Yessir!…enjoy. (p.s. I didn’t censor anything, because I’m too worn out to really give a fuck. However, I’m sorry if you’re offended, maybe just don’t read it. Plus, The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records did enough of that already on this one. You should be happy.)

Sly Fox

The sly fox
Cyclops
We locked
In the idiot box
The video slots
Broadcast
The Waco Davidian plots
They own YouTube, Myspace
When this ignorant shit gon’ stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda
Visual cancer
The eye
In the sky
Number five
On the dial
secret agenda
Frequency antenna
Doctor mind bender
Remote control
soul
Controller
Your brain holder
Slave culture
Game’s over
What’s a Fox characteristic?
Slick shit
Sensin’
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception
Deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don’t know what’s real

Watch what you watchin’
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin’

Watch what you watchin’
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin’

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up
O’ Reilly
Oh really?
No rally needed
I’ll tie you up
Network for child predators, settin’ ’em up
Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts
Ya’ll exploit rap culture, then ya’ll flip on us
And you own the post, and ya’ll shit on us
What is they net worth?
They gon’ try to censor my next verse?
Throw ’em off the roof neck first
While I’m clicking my cursor
Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal
It gets worse while I’m clicking my mouse
While they kickin’ my house
They figured us out
Why a nigga go south
It’s either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin’!
I watch CBS
And I See B.S.!
Tryin’ to track us down with GPS
Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

Watch what you watchin’
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin’

They say I’m all about murder-murder and kill-kill
But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?
What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)
The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How’s NaS the most violent person?
Ya’ll don’t know talent if it hit you
Bringin’ up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I’m dealing with the higher form
F**k if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don’t let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar’s truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

Watch, cause they’re watching
Watch what you’re watching

Better watch, cause they’re watching
Watch what you’re watching

Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya

Watch what you’re watching

Recording Studio in Italy

Beautiful recording studio in Tavernago, Elfostudio, created by Italian Architect Romolo Stanco. According to the designer, the studio aims for a kind of jazz fusion effect…ah, whatever, but it’s pretty. (Incidentally, if you’re in the market for a music studio in Pittsburgh, you should go here, Dana will take good care of you.)

Wow, Ye’s Crazy. Flashing Lights, V. 3

Okay, so…I posted the first and second versions of the Flashing Lights video from Kanye. The first was done up by Spike Jonze and the second was a little obvious, although nice. I think the third vid is my new favorite, though it is a bit derivative of some pretty well-know filmmakers. But, the very fact that I’m talking about a hip hop artist’s videos like this is just crazy. This video is crazy. I love this shit.
