The Antoine Dodson Saga

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

If you don’t know who Antoine Dodson is, you probably just discovered the Internet.

MC Hammer

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I’ve been counting money (ha!) while listening to Rick Ross’ new album all day long.  Ross has effectively condensed MC Hammer’s meteoric rise and fall in 4 minutes and 59 seconds compare that to an hour of VH1′s Behind The Music listening to Jim Forbes (failed-movie-trailer-voice-over-guy) narrate crap you can’t bounce to.  Ross. Ross.

Fuck television.

Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

In between Egon Schiele images and making a Fockin-westside-affiliated-gangsta-ass-mixtape I thought to myself, “man, shit, I love John Lee Hooker.”

A couple girls came in the other night while I was working.  There was something that caught my eye about one of them so we proceeded to have a friendly little chat.  She said she was a college student visiting from New Haven, CT.  I thought that was a pretentious way of telling me she is a Yale student.  I enjoyed that.

My ‘Top 25 Most Played’ from iTunes as of today.  I enjoyed that too.

I just discovered this remix yesterday and am in love.

It took me some time to pin down the correct spelling of his name whilst performing a Google search.  That being said…

In 8 Short Days…

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

It begins.

The kickoff to the World Cup in South Africa. I had to remind a friend that it is winter down there while he was packing shorts and t-shirts. It definitely ain’t winter in New York City, dust off the ol’ kit and reserve a seat at the pop-up indoor stadium in NoLita and start thrusting your hips like Shakira or don’t.  Either way, you can pretend to be enraged at the poor officiating even though you still don’t understand the offside rule.

My prediction:

The Flying Dutchmen although Spain come in a close second.

The biggest flop of the tournament will be Italy.  Have you seen their roster?  The worst set of strikers ever assembled.

Oh how the mighty have fallen only to rise again.  This creation of mine… This blog.  I direct your attention to the 1:05 mark.

An Oddity

Found.  David Bowie’s Space Oddity LP.

Why would you toss this out?  Seriously.

Il Gattopardo

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

The precursor to Doctor Zhivago.  The original version of  The Leopard may be one of the best period pieces I’ve seen.

Yes, love, of course! Fire and flames for a year, ashes for thirty. I too know what love is.

Death Via Butt Implants

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Former Miss Argentina, Solange Magnano, died after undergoing elective plastic surgery on her rear.  How does someone die from surgery on their buttocks?  Autopsy report por favor.  Via CNN.

Off topic but strangely on topic, one of my favorite songs by is Iggy Pop is entitled Miss Argentina.
