-ZFMY FAVE SONG RIGHT NOW (is in a commercial!?)
2009 -
09.29
I got the new Calvin Harris record, and the song that continually is getting play happens to be Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La. It’s dope. It kinda reminds me of Prince.
Apparently, it’s being used in GERMANY right now to sell Coca-Cola. You gotta watch this vid, cuz it’s displays what happens when you mix Calvin Harris with 80′s cutting edge puppetry and creature references from the 80′s cult classic CRITTERS.
Whoa, seriously, I’m waaaaayyy thirstier now….Can someone grab me a soft drink?
Thanks guys

OH SNAP GET THE ENERGY BACK!

Yeah yeah! So it’s conspiracy related but check it:
I had the pleasure of meeting a guy over this past summer, who was going on and on about how he believed he had discovered a way of getting free energy using a wheel and leverage. Regardless of if that was true or not, he proceeded to elaborate on about how the government would probably intervene with his project at some point to stop him from making it public.
This video reminds me of that.

You know when you arrive home from a night out - under the influence of something and feeling really hungry?
I recommend getting a bag of Kettle brand Kringle Cut Chips (Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper).
and dipping them in Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus!
YYYYYUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM
Is that weird or gross? Cuz it tastes REALLY good.
Any better suggestions?
P.S. – I’m not a SELLOUT for mentioning brand names!!

WILHELM SCREAM
2009 -
09.25
“The Wilhelm scream is a frequently-used film and television stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums. The effect gained new popularity (its use often becoming an in-joke) after it was used in Star Wars and many other blockbuster films as well as television programs and video games. The scream is often used when someone is falling to his death from great height. ”
I wonder if the dude who started it all gets royalties?

THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL MAGAZINE COVERS (of all time?)
2009 -
09.25
I was just reading this dope article on some of the most controversial magazine covers of all time. I’m gonna re-post a few of my faves. I don’t find them controversial as much as excellent pieces of art that helped sell the magazine. I’ll link the full article at the bottom so you can check it out for yourself…..That dog is kinda hilarious BTW.
Check out:
This was well ahead of it’s time, in1969 (yay rhymes).
I LOVE THIS COVER. It also reminds me of Dimitri from Paris (one of my fave records too)
Kinda touchy/disturbing….apparently Time made Hitler “man of the year”. The cover featured an elaborate illustration of Hitler playing “his hymn of hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine’s wheel while the Nazi hierarchy looks on.” Baron Rudolph Charles von Ripper was a Catholic that fled Hitler’s Germany, and the artist of this disturbing piece. By 1938, Hitler had firmly seized power in Germany, taken over Austria and Czechoslovakia, and had been given a free hand in Eastern Europe by the English prime minister of the time, Neville Chamberlain. Time has had to defend this choice throughout history stating that the “Man of the Year” was a title bestowed on the person who had most influenced events of the previous year….hmmmmmmmm
Memorial for the Twin Towers….black on black….
Even camels don’t like it from behind unexpectedly….
This reflected a 60′s movement, and apparently pissed everyone off. BUT COME ON – why does everyone have to be so sensitive>??? How can God be dead?….he created you!!
This cover was deemed as RACIST because it portrayed Lebron James to be “King Kong-ish” or something, which is totally ridiculous. First of all, he was probably all “I look so SCARY and AWESOME’ when he saw the proofs, and second of all, King Kong doesn’t wear sneakers!…sheesh….
Um…..yeah…..
Anywayz! I hope you enjoyed some of my picks.
Cruise on over to the full article right here for more examples of why society can be too sensitive:

EVERY KANYE SAMPLE EVER!
2009 -
09.24
Really amazing and educational video!
4 the record! A lot of people hate on Kanye cuz they think he’s “stealing” other peoples music and making money off of it.
A couple things:
1. You have to pay to use the sample
2. You are re-interpreting the song in a completely new way that in many cases sounds reminiscent of the original, but still is unto itself, an original and new thing.
3. He is re-wrtiting vocals melodies and lyrics over top many of the samples that are all his own – and in some cases just as catchy as the original.
4. He’s introducing a younger audience to amazing classic tracks and artists that are worth hearing. If it were not for Kanye sampling them, these songs may have never been picked up upon by a younger generation.
Blah blah blah – that’s all

p.s. – sampling is fun

Seriously! Sometimes it’s so hard to stay in one spot and work on a project! – Case in point:
At the moment, I’m editing a video that has taken a LONG TIME….it includes all the footage I have filmed over the past 2 and a half years since I escaped the clutches of Edmonton. So now I sit here trying to piece it all together….I must make it compelling, comprehensive, but most importantly, ENTERTAINING.
This is what I look like at the moment.
Believe it!

OH HAI…..NICE TATS!
2009 -
09.23
EVERYONE HAS TATTOOS NOWADAYS! - and for the longest time, I also wanted to get one. I know it’s not exactly a new concept, but something to me is appealing about having art on your body that will last a lifetime. This also happens to be my DILEMMA. I can’t for the life of me choose something that I think will be cool 20-30 years from now…. I don’t have kids yet, so I’m not getting my daughters name, and I sure as hell am not getting “mom” (even tho I love my mom). I just haven’t found a piece of art that I believe elevates my body….what am I left to do?
Even these pigs are inked up!
I actually read a recent article talking about how it’s rebellious NOT to get a tattoo nowadays, cuz everyone has one. I’m pretty sure my parents wouldn’t care if I rocked one or not, so that’s not really my issue….again, I just can’t think of something that would be cool enough to settle on. I just don’t wanna regret it….I already know some people (*ahem Farshad) who have made hasty tattoo decisions…..but I’ll leave that story for another day.
With that in mind, here are some tattoo’s I found that I’m almost 100% positive will cause regret.
This guy may never have a girlfriend.
How would you describe this concept to your artist?…..
Drawn by a 3 year old?….
lol!
NO NO NO NO NO
How creative! A dolphin chillin’ on a reclining chair takin’ a mad bong hit!
YIKES!!!
Ok sorry 4 that one….I was just so disturbed that I had to share…..what about a tat of ODB, or your stubbed arm turned into a toe?
I’m assuming any of these would probably cause just A LITTLE regret…(aka partick swayze half man/half horse)
In memory of tattoos…..they are an excellent concept IN THEORY.
Or you could be a corporate sponsor!
Yah, anyway you get the idea…..4 the record, a lot of my friends have incredible tattoos that I believe represent a perfect balance of style and art, and cause me a bit of jealousy (just because i can’t think of my own) but anything I have posted here should probably not have been inked up. But who am I to judge? Maybe it’s incredibly meaningful to it’s owner.
