Second Coming of Ian Brown

Ian Brown’s last nine sub-par solo records don’t compare to the Stone Roses debut or his work with UNKLE. But hey, who cares when you can hand out “California Smiles” with a genie on stage. Bite the curb, Ian will take care of your head with a trainer-stomp.

I am the lightning, I am theeee heat, I am the rainnnnnnnn.

Grease it up.

It’s too bad sweet dudes like R. Blackman aren’t still playing for the 07′ Mavs sqaud. 

Honestly, if it was 1984 again the looming NBA season would have you so stoked you’d be wearing a Suns pants suit, doing the shuttlerun all day in the gym.

People can be tricked into buying anything. You want proof? Two words: “50″ and “Cent”

Did you hear?  Kanye West sold 200,000 more albums than 50 Cent.  Now 50 has give Kanye a handjob like he promised….

….oh yeah and even better he will stop making “albums”.  Why does this matter you ask?  It matters because 50 Cent is the worst rapper of all time.

Case in point: Somebody forgot to tell him that you can’t rhyme a word with itself.

“I don’t know what you heard about me
But a bitch can’t get a dollar out of me”

If so, then there is a word that rhymes with orange…. orange.

Flight of the Conchords - Albi the Racist Dragon

This show is too good.

Manute Bol… greatest player in NBA history or just the coolest?

Height 7′7″

The only player in NBA history to block more shots than points scored (1,599 points, 2,086 blocks)

Once blocked 4 shots in a single possesion

Beat up William “The Refrigerator” Perry in celebrity boxing

Ok, so he didn’t shoot 10 threes in one game as I previously claimed, but he did shoot 6 against the Suns (all in the second half)

Bootz on the Beach

Who is Justin Bobby? Truly

 

Maybe the best/worst/best again reality grease the world has ever known.

The After Hours Party

I found this great article on the logistics of the “after party” on this site called Modern Drunkard Magazine… so I wanted to siphon it… giving full credit of course to the author Frank Kelly Rich because I thought it was a brilliantly true tale of mpowerposse last weekend. However my degree in Journalism has taught me a thing or two about reposting things (even if you give credit where credits due) so …without further ado… I will give you the link!

Up The Royals

 

Port Royal’s full length ‘Afraid to Dance’ couldn’t have come any sooner. After pummeling my ears with their first lp ‘Flares’ for two years consistently, they owed us something new. Now you owe them this: Sell everything you listen to.. then buy, kill for, or borrow this record. Then watch a meteor show, put on your headphones and lay in the dead sea. Let me know what you think.  Spaced out tunes.

FM!

The last track off Junior Boys’ lp So This is Goodbye ’FM’

sums it all up. Besides the brilliant closer, the record is much deserved of

it’s consistent spins over the past year.  FM makes sense in 1,500 different ways.

Top Chef Season 3 - “Gab Fest”

what a crock. I will not review this last episode seeing as how it was basically like the reunion show before its over.
