Haven't had the time or the energy to post here as regularly as I'd like. For what I do the Facebook is just as good or better. I'm moving the focus of my idiocy over there. If you want to keep up (and there will be more of what makes me so Zoddamn wonderful over there) then drop me a line and I'll hook you up with the friend request or whatsit.

Kick it.

OK Cats and Kittens I'll make you a deal. When you go about making the movie of my life. This has to be the trailer. I love you all, but this you will do for me, or you'll feel like you were hit by a Truck.

So, I worked most of the weekend. We're doing some big fun stuff (BFS) at work and I was trying to work some magic and make things easier for everyone. It was a time consuming lost cause, but worth the effort. As I closed out my working on Friday night and Saturday I started rolling through a ton of new albums I've been meaning to check out. It was largely disappointing (as it usually is) but some real gems rose to the surface. First the winners, then the losers.


Citizen Boris by Golem is described as gypsy punk. A definite win that tripped my trigger. Will be checking out their other releases.


Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do by Major Lazer reminds me of a Crystal Method meets MSI with some MIA thrown in. Frantic dance tech. Super keen.


Pink Limousine EP by Rootbeer is just great. Who knew that Pigeon John and Flynn Adam would work so well together? I'm late to this game, but I'm down with it.


Asleep in the Bread Aisle by Asher Roth is like what I want Eminem to be like. Fast and furious but douchebag free. Not 100% on this yet, but it certainly is worth further exposure.

Dissapointments:
Divided by Night by The Crystal Method I always (ALWAYS) find at least a few tracks to keep me moving on a CM cut. Not this time. It's like they grew up and moved away to college and then came back and stole my girl with their smooth beats. I want the old "let's get wrecked" CM back. I had to go listen to Name of the Game just to cleanse my pallete. Leonard's Loser? Crystal Method.

Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band by Easy Star All-Stars It's one of those rare things. A perfectly executed album which in no way grabbed me. It's an all reggae/dub cover of Sgt. Pepper's. It's clean and sharp and just not for me.

Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy Usually there's one track every few Prodigy outings that is worth the time. Not this time. I think they've moved on. Could hear greatness from where I was, but knew it wasn't going to get there.

The Lives of Lee Memorial by Lee Memorial I'd never heard them. It's green, but not for me by any stretch. I'm not sure WHO it's for, but then again that's why there's tons of stuff out there.

Addicted to Distraction by Black Landlord almost made the cut. Too far out of my line of country for me to take to it quickly. Will investigate furthe, later and see if I was wrong. There's a lot going on here. I do like me a big band.

I listened to 5 or 6 others as well, but most of them didn't get past the two or three track sample stage ( will someone please tell Doom to go back to using MF in front of his name, it was so much better then), and others are still on the table (The Ecstatic by Mos Def) to be checked out. I just wish I had more time to really dig in and listen.

Has anyone else heard anything good lately?

If you have an HDTV, you’ve noticed the wasted screen space when you’re on certain television channels. That’s a little inconvenience that Studio FRST has remedied with their Double Aspect Ratio 16943 concept, a TV with a slightly odd shape that can handle two viewing formats: a 16:9 format for films and 4:3 for television (hence the name). The clever design makes it clear why it is referred to as a ‘technological sculpure in levitation’. The black screen rests on a clear glass base, giving it the illusion of floating, and the 120mm thickness surprisingly conceals a DVD player.

I love this. I love everything about this. We're constantly flipping between widscreen and regular TV aspect ratios. More stuff like this needs to be out there. And not just as concept pieces, but as real world whatsits. Where the fuck is my flying car?

• 10:58 Think we've finally located the lost temple of Hanuman. At last we'll find out whether the legend of the monkey crown is true or not. #
• 13:11 The crown is real! I wore it and grew a fiery tail. I'm stronger and faster now. Don't know if I'm a monkey god or a pokemon. Crave bananas. #
• 17:27 That was a big waste of time. It should say "X # Charges" on any and all magical artifacts. At least it's worth a pretty penny. Oh well. #

• 08:51 Found out that the two that uncle B picked up at DroidMax yesterday were on a rebel ship. They say they're old Lucias Clay's. Probably BS. #
• 13:13 Hitched a ride with this full on redneck. "Ain't like dustin' crops boy." What a tard. Ben is pretty cool, but keeps giving me hard candy. #
• 16:47 Good day. Have a lot of chemistry with this girl. Solo is a suck wingman. Which X-Wing is mine? It's the one that says "Bad Motherfucker". #

• 09:53 Exploring "mysterious" caves in Argentina. Our guide is called Zanzabar. I think he's messing with us. Looking for cave fish. Wish us luck. #
• 12:45 Zanzabar has vanished into the dark. Kat thinks he's been grabbed by mutant catfish we saw earlier. Camcorder is gone too so I'm skeptical. #
• 16:03 Z came back with great shots of weird crystals and such. Negotiating a price for the locations. He wants $20. I love it here in the wild. #

I don't even have the energy to comment on this. President Change is changing things, mostly for the worse. While he's a better speaker, he's as bad or worse on policy than President Expansion of Executive Authority was, which is pretty hard to imagine. On the little things he gets some stuff right, but on the big ticket items he talks a good game, but then fucks us. Same old thing, only worse and worse for us as time goes on.

Sorry for the TMI, but when one loses ones bangmaker due to internet horror one just kind of blurts it out like that.

I'd love to think it's a joke, and of course it is. I just don't know if it's a joke like when someone tricked all those hipsters into wearing trucker hats, or if it's Darwin's last laugh on us.
