The top 25 tunes of the year. download. comment. argue. agree. obey. recognize.
In random order
1. Lets Make Love And Listen To Death From Above by Cansei De Ser Sexy
Lets be clear, unlike most peeps I think the CSS album is up and down and since Alala's opening rips Boss Hog's "Ski Bunny" off abit too much for my taste, so I'm picking this one. Those are all good reasons, but the best reason is the song is unstoppable. Hipster references, check. Funky bassline, check. Cute members/video, check. Strange cheerful electronic gurgling beat, check. U get the point, the song couldn't fail, ok, it's still great, 6 months later.
2. XR2 by M.I.A
Two years in a row(you can make the argument she should be on three years in a row) M.I.A is in. Gone is the old reggaton esque beats. In with the dark minimal Egyptian Lover esque rhymes and dance beats. It is strangely hypnotic and will blow up GIGANTIC when the actual album comes out.(Unless they release one of the rumored Timbaland/MIA collaborations first.)
3. 300 Bars and Runnin by the Game
The Game hates everyone. He tells you so in the MOST GRANDIOSE hip hop song ever, a 15 minute diss track about why 50 cent and haters are shit. The song has like 20 samples, some good lines, and so much outright hate, it's deserves it's respect.
4. The Songs That We Sing by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Wow, Charlotte owns the world. First, Science of Sleep and now a song that rivals some of the finest work by her brilliant parents.(i.e. Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.) Anyway, Air does the production, Jarvis Cocker(Pulp) and that dude from the Divine Comedy did the lyrics, so you can't go wrong. The song itself just sounds big, with it's church bells style rhythm, jangle pop feel, and
5. Silent Shout by the Knife
Yes, I'm the one that said The Knife is like when Bjork was good. And yes, I always say Like A Pen is their best tune. BUT.
1. This is the single. and 2. I'm so sick of talking about the fucking Knife, similar to Bjork's rise, they are getting abit played.
They still deserve to be on here.
6. Bad up your betterness by The Presets
And now the elitist card gets played. If you want to talk about a band that sounds like the Knife, but is arguably better. You can talk about the Presets. They are Australian and they sound like Gary Numan.(Sometimes like an excited Gary Numan.) Nuff said. And I have no idea what single they have, I've only heard the album.
7. Lindsay Lohan by Spank Rock
It's true, put that pussy away Lindsay it looks like a dead rat. Dload the song if u can find it, since it's not really on the album.
Oh yeah, I forgot the description. Dirty rapping meets glitchy electronics and heavy bass.
8. Special by Mew.
They're 80's. They're Danish. They have bad album covers.
They also have interesting rhythm, harmonies and tunes that just stay in your hair. It's kinda like Yes's best work, pretentious, but too good to ignore.
9. Parenthesis by The Blow
Man, that girl from the Blow is cute. The songs are cute. The beats are cute.(Actually kinda harsh too.) This song is my favorite love song of the year by far. When you're holding me, we form a pair of parenthesis. Brilliant.
10. Circle Square Triangle by Test Icicles
What a fuckin waste. That's really all I need to say. It was such a great rock song with weird rapping and rhythm to go with the great angular guitar. What a waste, the band broke up, ALREADY.
11. Woman by Wolfmother
It's been everywhere and that Deep Purple style riff still sounds great. Afroed Australians make good music. I'm not really about hearing about unicorns and shit, but at least Wolfmother rocks out when doing so.
12. Let's Get Out Of This Country by Camera Obscura
Tracyanne Campbell is the Scottish Astrud Gilberto and the band has kind of a Scottish indie rock/honky tonk vibe. They really are great, u should get ALL of their albums. I just had to pick the best new song
13. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys
Yes they are the Libertines-lite. Yes I said I wouldn't mention them anymore, but they still are good. If nothing else that Musikladen style video they made for this song gets it on here.(That's not even talking about the actual brilliant lyrics and playing)
14. Me and U by Cassie
Cassie is in because I like the screw tape Banananrama beat, the hot nature of the lyrics, the hot nature of Cassie herself, and the fact that you couldn't escape it on radio or the club.(The Janet Jackson Pleasure Principle style video didn't hurt)
15. Emily by Joanna Newsom
She no longer sounds like a 5 year old!(or Fievel as Gosey Wales says) Yes! I like the new control she has over her voice so it is more unique than annoying and The fact that she's studied composition makes her work more impressive. It's like a 10 minute song of harp and strings so getting Van Dyke Parks on there doesn't hurt. Simply put it's interesting music.
16. Whole World by Aloe Blacc
It's by FAR the BEST R and B song of the year. It's got that kinda 60's back beat mixed with a REALLY Icy tune, but all of the lyrics are beautiful and warm odes to great music and musicians. This song's non props on Black radio and TV really bugs me.
17. Smile by Lily Allen
You knew that bratty lil white Brit had to be on here.(And no I don't mean the SOV who is so played, we will not discuss her anymore until after her fucking TRL appearances are over. Elitist card appearance #2) Lily is just as bratty as SOV, but her reggae style is just so different than what most pop stars are doing. It's smooth, yet plucky.(yes i know that description sounds more like a wine than a tune.)
18. Boy From School by Hot Chip
Best dance tune of the year. It fits in those early morning in your pad sessions and the 4 am afterhours scene. Don't give me shit about not putting Over and Over on here, it has nothing on Boy From School.
19. Tetang Cita by White Shoes and The Couples Company
They are the Indonesian Stereolab, but even more 70's. It reminds of that old Boards of Canada description "It sounds like old pictures coming to life." And besides it's just so cheerful and optimistic in that old Burt Bacharach way, you have to love it.
20. The Decision by Young Knives
Proof again Andy Gill deserves royalties on every post punk song(aside from the ones PIL and Raincoats did). He produced this one, and the YK's go to fucking town. Weird vocals meet a killer guitar tone. They are English, snotty, and have a bassist named the House Of Lords, get the album before the played domestic version comes out.
21. Sofa Song by The Kooks
You could put the whole first side of this album on this list. Catchy, kinda frantic, obsessive. Kooks are the new Supergrass.
22. God Knows by El Perro Del Mar
It's just so damn depressing. It's just so 60's girl group/Wall Of Sound. It's just so damn good.
23. Magick by the Klaxons
I'm not the biggest "new rave" fan, but if the Klaxons keep making new songs like this one I will be. It's mean like the Mondays, but has some absurd fast live drums on it.
24. Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me by the Pipettes
I'll stay with what I said last time. Scottish Girl Group meets Phil Spector meets mad fun dancing. You can't beat that
25. Shoot the Runner by Kasabian
Hey, they already are the younger Primal Scream. Now they wanna be Oasis when they were good. Danceable madness

Tha 3rd Live OC Rant
Chrismakah time. Again.Time for joy. U know the rules about commercials and we get the live recap/opinions.
Is it me or does Ryan look closer and closer to Kirsten's age with each passing episode? He barely seems like he could be her son anymore.
Ryan has found a card post dated from Marissa.
Julie and Caitlyn straight out of Riverside. It's about time they goes back to Julie's hood.
Taylor bought Ryan the George Foreman grill because he likes lean meat. She is indeed lean meat, I saw the Stuff mag, Damn indeed.
Taylor and Ryan fight on a ladder(not Jet Li/Once Upon A Time In China style) and fall to unconsciousness.
Hey a new verion of California, it must be on that cover album of OC tunes. It actually sounds abit better, I'll find our who it's by in break 2.
Break one: Lets Build a Zoo by Saint Etienne
And we are in Bizarro Newport.(I assume Taylor has travelled with him.)
Kirsten(still head of the Newport Group) doesn't recognize Ryan. She banishes him from the house.
Julie does Charity work. It really is bizarro world. I think that was one of the bums from the Thanksgiving episode.
Seth is bullied by Luke's brothers, similar to the ULTRA NERDY way he acted in the pilot episode.
Sandy is the mayor-recognize. He thinks Ryan is stalking him. Ha
Meanwhile in the real world...
Taylor and Ryan are in the hospital.
Meanwhile back in Tron(I mean Bizarro Newport)
Taylor and Ryan find each other and are happy since they at least recognize each other.
Break 2:c'est a lamour by Francoise Hardy and
Side Streets by Saint Etienne(Wow they came up again)
So the cover version of California is by Mates Of States, who I hate, but not as much as fucking Phantom Planet.
Taylor says they are in a parallel universe. She is mad still that Ryan kinda dissed her.
Summer is getting married and is acting like she did in the earliest Summer. And isn't that Holly aka the one who did Luke? She's marrying Che? What? Couldn't it have at least been Luke?
Speaking of Summer it's official. She's lost at least 10 pounds, cuz in the early episodes(just seen again by me while typing the book up) she is crazy tan and buxom. I miss that Summer.(despite Anna being crazy thin and me loving it.)
And now we see Che is a player, he cheats on Summer. Taylor knows it.
Kirsten and Jimmy are married. how did that happen? Wouldn't a divorce have fucked up Sandy's election?
Oh wait, Sandy is married to Julie. Now that is funny. And Che's screwing her on the side.
Taylor sees Julie treating him like a dirty spanking sub.
Marissa is alive and at Berkeley, so they tell us.
Taylor's theory is they must fix what's "wrong" with Bizarro Newport to get back to the original world.
Meanwhile in the real world...
Caitlyn says they will be having "a Britney Christmas." That's a good one.
Kirsten gets the miraculous Marissa letter that fell out of Ryan's pocket in the ambulance
Bizarro Newport
Ah bait and switch on the Marissa thing, It's Caitlyn who is a prodigy and returning from Berkley. She says Marissa OD'd in the alley in Tijuana(because there was no Ryan to pick her up and carry her to safety.I totally just saw that one yesterday)
In a good style thing for this episode, they seem to only be using cover versions of pop songs, ie the Theme and Paranoid Android by Radiohead.
Another break:The world of Sex by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Bizarro Newport
Taylor tells Ryan how much he's done for everyone in the real world.
meanwhile in the real world
Seth thinks they are in a parallel universe as well. He thinks they must accomplish something to get back.(How many times are they gonna say this.)
In Bizarro Newport world
Taylor is a guy. And her ma is still evil. Ha
Bizarro Seth believes Ryan's parallel universe story. So they will work together to get him with Summer. Taylor is trying Kirsten to be into Sandy and vice versa.
How did Taylor know about Kirsten living in the mail truck? Anyway, it works she goes to talk to Sandy
Taylor sees her mom being crappy and calls her a bitch and it seems like she may be on her way back to the real world.
Julie is doing Che in bathroom and they get found by Jimmy. Who tells everyone what is going on.
Sandy and Kirsten realize Taylor is the one who told the lies that got them talking, but as soon as it happens, Taylor is back in the real world, leaving Ryan all alone and now arrested.
Another ad break Cars and Girls by the Dictators
Taylor's mom is mean as ever and seems not to care that Taylor is ok, but Taylor is actually nice to her.
Kirsten gives the letter to Julie, who opens it.
Sandy says the death of Marissa left everyone stuck, just like the show now. I'm sure they meant to reference it in this phrase.
And Caitlyn also says what we are all thinking"Taylor in a coma is a nice break" indeed.
In the real world/parallel universe:
In her letter Marissa wrote that for them to get on with their lives, she had to leave Newport,even though she loved Ryan.
As soon as Ryan read it in the parallel uni, he said goodbye to Marissa. AND not only was he in the old beach/lifeguard tower where they hung out the show went into a bomb cover of the old Mazzy Star Marissa motif/theme.
Ryan wakes up and it's the Christmakuh miracle, and everything is cool according to everyone in the room.
That closes the show.
Last ad break: DIng Dong The Witch Dead by Klaus Nomi
Next week Whoa Hercules is hitting on Julie Cooper. Is Taylor pregnant? Will Summer marry Seth?
The verdict: BEST USE OF MUSIC ON TV POSSIBLY EVER. I'm serious. Cover versions of tunes you've heard on the show before to simulate Bizarro world was a SPECTACULARLY GOOD IDEA. I realize it also works in the lets promote the covers version of our soundtrack that just came out, but it still worked. The episode was fun again, but didn't necessarily build anything crazy. And the bait and switch was semi crappy. And a quick last question. feel free and answer If Seth was still so nerdy does that mean there was no Anna?

The Partly Cloudy OC Live Rant
And another week of the Live OC rant. I must burn CD's as we go along so I can write with power later on and since the show may be cancelled soon, I'm trying to show support.
Also, instead of the ad breaks i will shuffle my itunes and see what comes up because musical interludes are awesome.
Ryan dreams in 80's technicolor of Taylor Townsend dancing like husband beater Tawny Kitaen.
Aw, Summer's been suspended for a YEAR. Ouch, is that worse than losing than her rack? No it's not, I'm sorry to answer a man there, but it's true.
Ad break 1: Jocko Homo by Devo.(Wow this idea is better than the show. Are we not men?)
And we come back to a depressing montage that usually signals the end of an episode. But it's broken up by Che in his beautificent trustifarian madness. And Summer is MAD.
And another Taylor Townsend dream, this one is much more Cool Hand Luke.
Kirsten catches her kinda son in mid hard on, but luckily he's fully clothed. And she's trying to fill in as Seth, by listening and gasp! talking to him.
Kirsten is indeed right, Taylor IS cute. I'd pay to read a Anais Nin dirty version of Felicity, but only if 1995 guest starring on
DIRTY Innuendo only cuz Does Caitlyn even go to school? We never see her there. Oh wait now it's...
Harbor the Next Generation.
Perhaps they can use "Always up to no good" by Phantom Planet for the new show as a theme instead of California. And there's an asian girl, finally a non restaurant working or slutty asian on the OC.
Ryan and Taylor WILL DATE... later tonight.
Seth is in Rhode Island. Did Seth say he bought meth, brilliant, that explains Summer losing her rack.
Ryan and Taylor are having their date in the comic store(since she's filling in for Seth's shifts) and it is kinda cute.
I have to admit I haven't seen this anime they are watching, it certainly seems like a less spirited Bobobo.(Yes,I know only like one person is getting that joke.)
So Summer is in Cali, Seth is in RI, didn't they do this one before? But she told Seth the truth already, mad props on that one.
Ad break two: Double Feature by Camera Obscura. What a depressing tune, for an absurd episode.
Sandy is auditioning to be "substitute Seth" and he explains his son's whole character in one phrase which was funny I have to admit.
Seth Wants Revenge(and so does Interpol for being pilfered by those fuckers) will he go all "Ryan Atwood or Julie Cooper" as he said. It looks like no.
I like how nice Summer is to Julie considering that broad STOLE HER DADS HOUSE.(And ran him off the show which is worse.)
Caitlyn could give a fuck about the Super Sweer Sixteen moment, because she's holding her her party with mad mad booze and drugs.
Julie is hit on by that old dude who is the silent partner in her biz, he won't take no for an answer. But he has called some single men,
Is there really a biography of Fukusaku? That would be cool. Taylor is dissed by Ryan, and now she's making him jealous with Seth-Lite.
Che is in Cali to win forgiveness, but Seth is on his way back.
Does anyone know if Alex survived her trip into Brazil? Just curious, to see if anyone actually saw Turistas.
Ad Break number 3: All U Need Is Blood by Test Icicles.(Wow I miss them, what a fucking waste.)
Sandy and Kirsten are forced to endure Julie and old man Bullet at their annversary thing. And now they are horrified.
AND TWO Threesome jokes in 5 minutes. One from the fifteen year old. OUCH.
It's Summer's house? She thinks? Does she even know that Julie STOLE that shit?
OK Taylor looks BOMBNESS as rollerskater, but why does it always have to be with old 80's tunes. Oh that's right they had Ryan rep Journey in the first season. Fine continuity there.
Hey Dirty Pretty Things are the latest good British band to have a song on The OC.
Of course the Asian girl was back doing dirty shit, I take back my earlier comment.
Is that Jenna Von Oy aka Six from Blossom's sister playing Caitlyn's other friend? She looks just like her.
It's true if u are 15 and passing on Caitlyn u ARE gay.
Enough questions/statements back to the recap
Wow Caitlyn's man came out of the closet and then he's fucking Taylor's Seth Lite. that's quick turnaround. So anyway, Taylor wants Ryan to be jealous, by offering a beat takeshi action figure to the guy. Can the Takeshi-san figure do his patented stare into space/twitching thing he does so well?(Actually Takeshi IS a genius, I take that back)
Ad Break 4: First Time by Junior Boys
Seth is all violent pushing Che and tha still hand cuffed Summer into a pool, not that anyone cares in warm winter Cali.
And Caitlyn is the partier with a heart. Psych. After that harsh cell phone bit of hers she has officially carried the episode."Hello 911 I'd like to report a totally lame party." That was funny.
Winchester =Che. He's rich, how surprising. At least he has a butler like Alfred from Batman. And now he's written off into the Oliver/Alex sunset of no return.
Ryan and Taylor reunited, in a cute/out of character way. And since her character "wants to use bodies like a jungle gym," Taylor Townsend is hot.
And Julie's old man is sorry/abrasive and it's kinda funny. They got rid of Caleb for this fucking guy?
So Kirsten and Sandy will be renewing their vows.
Even at her own party Caitlyn is still alone, that is actually a rare moment of poignant sadness in this season.
Taylor and Ryan are happy and making out in the episode
Julie seems to be running an escort service on accident, or at least that is what is implied.
So Seth is staying for Summer, which is good cuz we can get rid of all that globe trotting garbage. BUT it means we won't be getting Anna for awhile.
How is Summer dumb again? Missing Seth's jokes and stuff, I thought she was smart now.
Last break before next weeks preview: Love me or Hate Me by Lady Sovereign
Its a bizarro verse OC in the Christmakah? It sounds fun, but anyone else think the show REALLY has gotten aimless?
In fact that is the verdict, AIMLESS. I'm cool with the only comedic OC, and it is fun to watch at moments, but this non drama/non storyline policy is REALLY hurting the show.
Also, instead of the ad breaks i will shuffle my itunes and see what comes up because musical interludes are awesome.

The non tape delayed OC rant.
Since I'm watching on non tape delay, here is the non delay OC report. Taylor digs Ryan she's helping him with sleep disorder. Is Is it Marissa or is it the cage fighting? Boo, I was hoping Taylor was going to be waiting for Ryan in the pool house in absurd soap opera style lingerie. Sandy is playing gold with some dude I swear I saw on Perry Mason this after.(Yes the old ones, not tha revival TV films.) Summer has robbed rabbits with Che, will she be expelled? The answer will probably be no, but Che has rated her out.
Caitlyn does look hot in this episode, it's a shame they haven't brought Chris Brown(the singer) on to give her someone her age to act against/seduce.(I'm starting the online petition that's anti-Luke's brothers.) Because all the Caitlyn hitting on old dudes is just gross. But u know what's scary, Kirsten really does have a better body than all of her younger compatriots. They should let her sex it up instead of the youthful Caitlyn or also aging/good looking Julie.(who's doing young dudes the whole time, which isn't gross. See just when u thought I was going to play the old man/young woman being the only way it's ok card. Sandy is hosting benefits now? OK...missed that episode. Seth can't call Summer. Yet another way for Rachel Bilson to go off and film movies. Taylor is hurt by Ryan despite looking good, BUT a little Taylor totally goes a long way. TOO MUCH Taylor Townsend nowadays. Oh wait they kissed again, does Ryan like her? PLEASE tell me no, so we can END that storyline. Julie/Caitlyn happy in mother/daughter bliss, Ryan can sleep again after Taylor's kiss and chinese tea. Note:(literal usage not sometype of slang for poon there. The dating business is saved by Caitlyn talking mad shit to the old dude, who joins up with our sexy older dating hostesses.
So in the end it's a fun OC, just like last weeks, and probably next weeks. Which is fine, but didn't this show USED to have storylines. I thought humor was Seth,Sandy,
Man they never shoulda killer Johnny or maybe even Luke, he might be alright on there. Ok here's a different answer on how the show maybe could get better, one simple answer.(no it's not Anna, because she is always an answer.) Hailey. Bring Hailey back. She is ABSURDLY sexy. Wild, Interesting. She would be a good change of pace, since they've gotten rid of every character that is worth a damn on the show. And besides they cancelled Reunion so she may be available.

Underappreciated Legends Of Rock and Roll Vol. 2
SPIKE
Ah Christine Nelson aka Spike.(played by Amanda Stepto on every incarnation of the program) She was SO New Wave. From her hairspray consuming Aimee Mann coiffure to her friend Liz that looks like "she does it," Spike was the best Canadian 80's rock and roller.(Please no Bryan Adams or Rush fans emailing me on that statement.) Now she is most famous for being the one on Degrassi Jr. High who got knocked up by Shane (aka the kid who took acid and jumped of a bridge) and decided to not have an abortion by having . And because Degrassi was so raw, they went through all of the strifes to break it down for the keedz. So for most of her remaining time on the show, which was like every episode, she had baby Emma . Spike was so important to the program, her spawn became the focus of the almost as brilliant Degrassi the Next Generation. Anyway, back to the rock and roll. Spike had to have been the only teen on 80's TV that walked imaginary school hallwayswith big hair that actually looked good AND rocked Smiths T-shirts WAY before it was cool to. For that reason alone she's deserves more respect.

Underappreciated Legends of Rock and Roll Vol 1.
Straight out of Riverdale, she was the Keith Moon to Josie's Roger Daltrey, Melody Valentine(speaking voice by Jackie Joseph, singing voice by Cheryl Ladd) was the brilliant drummer of the Pussycats. This flaxen haired siren always had men salivating and following her every move with just one stroll down the street. Melody was a riot girrl before the term was coined and added WAY MORE sex than any pop singer of the day, because like most girl drummers she was hot. She was the one that made Mike Myers "horny on Saturday Morniny" in So I Married An Axe Murderer. I don't think any members of the Pussycats get nearly enough respect when it comes to . I bet PJ Harvey, Bjork and Kathleen Hanna would not have been rocking and spitting mad venom without the Pussycats. And please don't mention Tara Reid playing Melody in the film because frankly the original is always better.
Most importantly, the band's tunes were the most unstoppably catchy in cartoons this side of The Wayouts song on the Flintstones and we all know Melody is STILL a better drummer than Meg White. That fact alone makes her an unappreciated legend of rock.
In honor of tha fight
I had a request to discuss boxing so I will.
Las Vegas has the WORST judging in fucking boxing. Nevada has the most powerful comission in the planet, yet they can't any judges other than the Three Blind Mice.(Giampa, Shirley and Moretti. And like the vowel Y, Jerry Roth also joins that crew sometimes.) Actually the scary part is they weren't even the worst judges of the evening. Ok Dave Moretti was bad as always. But Carol Castellano was TERRIBLE as always. She ALWAYS gets it wrong. And Adelaide Byrd did a terrible job scoring, which is a surprise because usually she's decent.
So after a night of terrible decisions that robbed Brian Viloria and Mike Arnaoutis of wins and titles, we came into the main event with fury at a high.
Morales came out first with the Mexican equvalent of the so called "rapper/hype man" entrance, but the song itself was much more subdued. Wrestler Rey Mysterio Jr. was there for the ring walk as was Morales' father who was back in his sons corner.
He looked fresh and in excellent shape. You could tell that he meant business as entered the absurdly quickly.
Pacquiao was in Bruce Lee shape and when he was hitting the pads to warm up it sounded like Joe Frazier era George Foreman was hitting them. His smile gone you could tell he was going to fuck shit up as his thunderous music hit.
Alright Buffer does his thing, crowd's at a fever pitch, Larry Merchant says one of his now bullshit one liners, and both men come out slightly tentative. For about 30 seconds. Both fighters look like they are trying to hurt each other with each shot. We get the occasional jab and measure, but mainly bombs. Early in the fight Pacquiao is hitting himwith some clean lefts, but Morales comes back with some astounding powerful flurries. Pacman isn't doing his typical awkward constant motion, he actually is sliding across the ring more and cutting off the ring. They trade at the end of the round and the crowd is going crazy because there just wasn't that much of a feeling out process.
Lederman has the round for Pacquiao. So do I.
In round two Morales comes out stronger. He's battering Pacquiao around. Landing good combinations, Pacquiao is slightly off balance and he's moving with his back to the ropes. Somehow Pacquiao takes one good punch side steps a combination and threw a POWERFUL left hand that reminded of Ali's description of his "Phantom Punch" in the second Liston fight.(This can be seen in When We Were Kings) Morales falls to a knee, giving Pacquiao a chance to tee off through the reast of the round and a three point lead through two rounds.
In round 3 Morales looks OK, winning the first minute and a half, but Pacquiao breaks out "Manila Ice"(His right cross) and stuns Morales leading to an EVEN WORSE left that sends him down. Morales IS hurt, but he gets up. The ref Vic Drakulich gives him a chance(rightfully) and Pacquiao is headhunting. He goes fast and furious for his combinations and lands three bad shots that sends Morales down for good. He could've gotten up, but there was no point. And with that combination his career essentially is over.
I'm sure it was absolute fucking bedlam in Gen. Santos City, because it was a sensational KO. Nobody had an early knockout pegged.(I picked Pacquiao to win again, but not by knockout.) But everyone was in shock, due to the brevity/excitement of the fight. And frankly it put me in a better mood after all those garbage decisions.

Yes more OC discussion
"Call me after dark." Le tigre
Yes tha supa late OC report. Sandy needs peeps since they've written all the other dudes off the show. Even fucking Dr. Roberts? That is some bullshit. I thought he was a great addition and now he's gone. But, in the all Taylor Townsend/Sandy Cohen episode it was generally all good times. Since they are in that second tier of my fav characters(Anna is on her own tier as you know) it was fun to watch. They needed a good fun episode after three SERIOUS/DRAMATIC AS ALL HELL episodes, and it made me officially not miss Marissa Cooper. Did u know that the chick who plays Caitlyn Cooper is Brian Depalma's stepdaughter?(Note: the director of Scarface and my most hated film in years The Black Dahlia.) That makes her way cooler. I like Julie doing all the young dudes Mott The Hoople style again.
Che= dumb. Summer dissing "The Valley"=dumber.
Lest we not forget Taylor Townsend soon to be doing Ryan. That rules cuz she's a psycho AND hot. That is always an irresistable combination. She carried season 2
And now for Ian's most important question of the week, Where the fuck is Anna? I thought the whole point of the whole Anna/Seth and trying getting into art school thing required Anna going to Brown too. Am I the only one who thought this? Did I miss something on the prom episode? Maybe I'm just naive about these things. Alright lets not pretend, I miss seeing Samaire Armstrong on TV. But, cmon it makes sense from a writing standpoint. If you are going to constantly have to switch scenes to Rhode Island, why not bring her back because Che and hippies just ain't cutting it.
Man they never shoulda killed Johnny.(Yes that's an inflamatory statement I know.)
Rebelde update: Miguel collapses Monday, and forgets that he didn't fuck Sabrina.(So he can't tell Mia)
the Flash recommends: Degrassi Junior High Season 1. U know u want to relive Joey Jeremiah, Caitlyn, and Spike's triumphs and hardships in frigid Canada.

Tha 10 Best Of The Past 10
In honor of Tzameti, the best film I've seen all year. I have decided to introduce the discussion of the 10 best films from Europe from the last decade.(96-06 that is). Only one per director allowed.
So in random order
1. Run Lola Run dir Tom Tykwer
Franka Potente speeds like an Opel in a fushia haze to save her man who owes some criminals mad cash. Loud, frenetic and absurdly addictive, it pulses like the techno that scores it. It's the only film I've seen at the movies in it's first run three times.
2. All About My Mother by Pedro Almodovar
It's the best Almodovar film of this decade, though not my favorite of his whole filmography. It's kind of a full circle work for him. There are trans, miracles, kitsch, drama, and one of his original stars. Loud, colorful, interesting, it's the typical Almodovar film.
3. El Crimen Ferpecto by Alex de la Iglesia
It reminds me of the British series Are You Being Served?, due to it's setting and screwball style. But, it's also way darker and beautiful to watch. Basically its about this brilliant/lecherous salesman who takes out his main rival only to end up in a relationship/fight with one of the ugly women he's ignored in his department. This movie is one of the funniest I've seen in many years, but I think you can say that about about every fucking de la Iglesia film.
4. Amelie by Jean Pierre Jeunet
Uh it's Amelie, you've probably seen it. But anyway it's that cute Audrey Tautou as an unorthadox/magical woman who decides to help people. And of course there is also romance. Everything just works in it. Style, Color, Dialogue, Characters, everything.
5. Irreversible by Gaspar Noe.
It's backwards(yes like Memento, but with a point.) ABSURDLY HARSH. See the caps, I mean it. Put it this way, It's hard for ME to watch it and I like harsh shit. Monica Bellucci is in a nice relationship, something AWFUL happens, revenge must be served. It's by far the hardest to watch/most interesting film of the decade.(Aside from possibly Noe's other film I Stand Alone.)
6.Russian Ark by Alexander Sokurov
It's all one shot. The whole movie. And that doesn't mean it's staring at a wall. It winds and works its way through the whole Hermitage and massive set pieces. The movie itself kinda plays out like The Divine Comedy by Dante with two men traveling through death? time? who knows.
7. Layer Cake by Matthew Vaughn
Tight, harsh, dark, sleek. Daniel Craig is Mr. Fucking X and he's a drug pusher who ends up in mad shit looking for a girl and trying get rid of stolen pills. It's all style and is a writer's wet dream with the immense amount of plot twists.(Think one every five minutes.)
8. Scarlet Diva by Asia Argento
Ok it's not pretty, but it's BY FAR the most interesting semi autobiographical ever. It's uncompromising, sometimes showing the actress/director in the worst light, hardcore sex, drugged. It's not really about anything, just "I'm an actress this is how I live, deal with it."
9. Trainspotting by Danny Boyle
Boyle is still one of the world's best. Shallow Grave made him big. Trainspotting made him bigger.(It also saved Primal Scream.) It's back when Ewan McGregor was cool and drugs were bad. Well this film made them bad. It's about Scottish junkies struggling with sex, drugs and money, but u knew that since every one has seen it.
10.Tzumeti by Gela Babulanov
The newest film that sparked the whole discussion. Georgian/Russian coproduction. It's very film noirish with it's black and white negative and long shadows. Has that Herzog esque style of placing the camera and letting people do stuff. It's about a young workman who intercepts a letter that leads him step by step into crazy money and a dark world.
So feel free comment, disagree. It's all good here.

THE OC DISCUSSION CONTINUES
Alright before I go see the Slits(you know the band with Ari Up) I owe the OC report.
So after much confusion and no promos, The OC had a two night special.(which also led to a confusing comment from J Lee on myspace.) I thought they just did some weird we are skipping episode 2, which pissed me off as I tried to catch it So in my confusion I eventually had to torrent ep. 2.
Ryan is pissed off, brooding, and looking more and more like he's almost 30 in every episode. Julie is depressed and banging hot, sounds like THEY should get it on.(Oh wait Julie already fucked one of Marissa's old boyfriends. so they can't do that again.) But, wait Caitlyn has a problem. A shoplifting problem. Just like Marissa.(So maybe Ryan should just put Julie out of her misery.)
Caitlyn also has another problem. She's saddled with the two lamest characters in television since Will & Grace, Luke's twin brothers. I want all of the peeps to just think about the interesting characters pissed away by this program. Anna, Sadie, Trey, Ryan's mom, Lindsay, Zack, Luke, Alex, Alex's lesbian lover(Emanuelle Chiriqui is the actresses name, dont know the characters.), and of course Oliver. With characters like those you have infinitely more interesting things to build with. Here's the only reason I miss Mischa Barton, because there is no hope that Oliver can't come back and fucking terrorize her character.(His work on the OC made his slaugther and abuse in Chainsaw the Beginning all the more awesome.) We all know I want Anna as a regular, but they have had WAY more interesting characters on the show than the ones they almost seem to be stuck with. They should take a page from Rebelde(aka the Spanish OC) and keep the good new characters that they build as the show progresses and then balance them old ones you love. The best example of this is Cheers which only started to actually be good ONCE they added Woody. And then they added Frasier. And then you got Lillith. And so on.
Summer as hippie is interesting, but it's certainly hurting Rachel Bilson's position as the one who was carrying of show. Her good lines are gone, and now we can't even admire how good she looks in bright colors or her ample rack anymore. Official boo there.
And all this switching between OC and RI is annoying. They totally should've just done the cliched 90210, we all go to the same university storyline. At least, then characters could *gasp!* interact. Didn't Seth used to have good dialogue? Doesn't Taylor Townsend look hot on Stuff this month. Wasn't her character better in doses, rather than having to try and chew scenery in every tableaux.
Of course Sandy and Kirsten were both excellent, but the program is always better served when Sandy has some type of major storyline to participate in. But, that can
I'll admit the episodes were fun to watch, but then again so was OC season 2 at times.(Which we all know I try and forget in the OC storyline continuum.) I don't know why the show is limping so, but here's the answer... Bring back Anna. Ok not really, but it would keep me more interested.

Make way for the O-C
Alright everyone knows it's my favorite time of the Season. It's OC TIME! YES! Now I didn't do that cheap Online shit, I waited till the actual airing. So now I comment. I won't bow to myspace getting more of my time, let alone Rupert Fucking Murdoch.
First things first, 7 words.
Taylor Townsend is an official cast member. Yes! That rules. She's hot and definitely has her moments. But wait, allow me to play my bitterness card. Samaire Armstrong aka Anna NEVER got on the main credits, even in her hey day.(Season 1.) To quote the Boondocks That's some bullshit. Autumn Reeser aka Taylor Townsend gets full cred? Samaire only got Guest Star credit.(Or gasp! Special Guest Star credit.) I'm sorry my bias as an Anna fan, scratch that the Original Anna fan, takes over sometimes. Taylor Townsend does rule. U know I love her, she carried Season 2, sometimes
Lets get to the main event.
It took balls for them to kill Mischa Barton and even though I wanted them to do it, they may really have fucked the show in the process. I don't know if the all doom and gloom edition of the OC is that great. Ryan as cage fighter? Ok, sure. I guess they couldn't do the 85th drug/depression story, so why not just have him fight MMA. Seth is humorous. Where was that powerful Sandy character we all know and love? He seemed a dash too meek, in this one. It's weird I thought he would do his patented get in the car Ryan, or we're not a family without u? But the comic thing, was a mite strange, only because it was a family attempt to reach him, instead of just a Seth/out of the ordinary thing. Caitlyn Cooper will be a gold mine for the OC, sheerly because the casting agents just KNOW she will grow from awkward phase to crazy hot one of these days. That's what they did with Mischa, and it will probably work again.
Lets discuss the person that I thought would have to carry the show now and that is Rachel Bilson aka Summer. We all know that I dissed out on her all the time, and have since repented for my terrible ways by forming a mini Rachel Bilson cheer squad. Did anyone notice that she seems to have lost weight? Am I wrong on this? Is it that she is just older now? 1.Her face seems way thinner and that is how I noticed. Her face fits those anime/doe eyes of her name and she looks better. But, her body is tiny? What happen to the boobs? What happened to the hips? And why is she starting look lik
Wasn't that the point of having an Anna/Summer contrast? One is buxom and can fill out a Wonder Woman costume, the other one is pixieish/petite. I'm curious to hear what my lovely female readers have to say, because I kinda miss the curvier Summer.(I am a guy, even though I'm typically the fan of an Anna type.) Anyway, I liked what they did with her at the end, it made up for the strange way they had her act. She was good as usual though.
I can't figure out if I liked the episode or not. I enjoyed seeing characters I like, but was it what I wanted? Yes, no, who knows? Maybe they'll just go with the big Roseanne, it was all a dream season, and end the show with Mischa being alive, and all being well.
Hey wait a minute, Dr. Roberts isn't even a official cast member, i checked the credits again. Hasn't he earned his spot?
In other news
hey Lady SOV is on Letterman, wow it really is over. First ChChing isn't on the new album, now she's performing like she's on downers. And lest we not forget being number 1 on TRL. Not Rap City, but TRL. Ouch. And now I'm done playing my elitist card for today.
I saw Renaissance today and it was interested. Les Bleus certainly make interesting cinema. It was totally style over substance. But it was really fun to watch, kinda like Night Watch that Russian vampire flick. It fits right in with tha French tradition of animation like Fantastic Planet and anything drawn by Moebius, so it's worth seeing on TV/downloading/renting/owning.
Borat tomorrow. I was sick to death of all that shit, but at least it's been two years since I've seen Ali G and all that stuff. So it's not so over, and it should be funny again.
In the soccer report,
AC Milan won. Celtic got bombed. Arsenal pissed it away. Didier Drogba kills Barca even more than Messi kills Chelsea.
Rebelde update:
I'll keep it short. Gaston DIED on the show this week leaving Lujan guardianless. Que Lastima.
The Flash recommends:
Mew-And The Glass handed Kites. Yeah it's pretentious. But it also sounds like fucking Slowdive. Beautiful pop tunes, but it's also complex. Soaring guitars, layered atmosphere, high blended vocals, sounds like a shoe gaze record. Special is definitely one of the best songs of the year. Oh yeah, and one of the best crap album covers of all times.
First things first, 7 words.
Taylor Townsend is an official cast member. Yes! That rules. She's hot and definitely has her moments. But wait, allow me to play my bitterness card. Samaire Armstrong aka Anna NEVER got on the main credits, even in her hey day.(Season 1.) To quote the Boondocks That's some bullshit. Autumn Reeser aka Taylor Townsend gets full cred? Samaire only got Guest Star credit.(Or gasp! Special Guest Star credit.) I'm sorry my bias as an Anna fan, scratch that the Original Anna fan, takes over sometimes. Taylor Townsend does rule. U know I love her, she carried Season 2, sometimes
Lets get to the main event.
It took balls for them to kill Mischa Barton and even though I wanted them to do it, they may really have fucked the show in the process. I don't know if the all doom and gloom edition of the OC is that great. Ryan as cage fighter? Ok, sure. I guess they couldn't do the 85th drug/depression story, so why not just have him fight MMA. Seth is humorous. Where was that powerful Sandy character we all know and love? He seemed a dash too meek, in this one. It's weird I thought he would do his patented get in the car Ryan, or we're not a family without u? But the comic thing, was a mite strange, only because it was a family attempt to reach him, instead of just a Seth/out of the ordinary thing. Caitlyn Cooper will be a gold mine for the OC, sheerly because the casting agents just KNOW she will grow from awkward phase to crazy hot one of these days. That's what they did with Mischa, and it will probably work again.

I'm doing it for the kids
Alright since I barely ever blog it's time for the half year's top tunes. I'm doing random order, because that's like choosing which one of your kids you want killed. And it's a weird number, cuz that is how many I feel like mentioning.
1. Let's make love and listen to Death From Above by CSS.
They are Brazilian, hot, and tired of being of sexy. They also make a good rock and roll reference, that would make sex awfuly frantic.(I'm more of a Jazz chill out tunes for sex kinda guy.) But, that's beside the point. It's absurdly funky with strange english lyrics that cause an absurd amount of freak out dancing and spontaneous singing.
2. Smile by Lily Allen
Yes, she's priviliged, white, English, and the daughter of a famous comedian. So how is it possible she can do reggae songs? Or perhaps even put out the possibly R and B tune of the year? I don't know , but the song is fucking unstoppable in an Annie/Heartbeat kinda way.
3. Left Side Drive by Boards of Canada.
One. It's Boards Of Canada. Two. It sounds like Beautiful Place In the Country, Boards of Canada. Three. It's arguably better than anything on the last album. Four. Chillout reaches new heights.
4. Get Myself Into It by The Rapture
Wait is it 2002? No it's 06' and The Rapture is back. And they're actually good. It's no House of Jealous Lovers and it's got a video Jessica Simpson ripped off.(along with that Madonna beat she lifted.) Funky weirdness, singable chorus, nervous anxiety. Yeah, they are still the Rapture.
5. Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me by The Pipettes
Fun Scottish girl group, Phil Spector style, unstoppable song nuff said.
6. Shoot the Runner by Kasabian
The song we wished Primal Scream would have recorded this year. Kasabian has hit a that level of bands where they are not only invincible, but you just can't wait to hear what's coming next.(Even though this record is brand new. As I said before if Primal Scream doesn't want to be Primal Scream anymore, Kasabian can take their spot.
7. You Fucking Love It by Dirty Pretty Things
Rock at its essence from the other non fucked up Libertine(Carl Barat). It's sloppy, mean, frantic. It makes you cringe at how good the Libertines ACTUALLY were at times and makes you remember that it wasn't all Pete Doherty.
8. Boy From School by Hot Chip
Someone had to put out the 06' version of Juan Maclean's Give Me Every Little Thing. This one is pretty tough to stop from the loops to the bass. This almost makes up for that last album they put out.
9. Circle Square Triangle by Test Icicles
Yes, the band is dead. The song lives. What a fucking waster as the song says. Weird rhythm, pissed screams, knifing guitars. This band shoulda had all of Bloc Party's fandom time fucking ten.(And I like Bloc Party, that's not a shot at them.)
10. Slits Tradition by The Slits
It's the first Slits song in 20 years. Grime meets Ari Up and co's typical madness. Oh yeah and it's by the Slits.(That's reason enough ok.) It's also not really out, but just buy it when it does make it out.
11. Transparent Things by Fujiya and Miyagi.
Yeah pitchfork is right this album is pretty good, in it's weird neu meets aphex twin kinda way. This may or may not be a single, but I like the song.
12. Crazy by Gnarls Barkley
It's an old one, but it also has to be on here since the album is actually widely available. U already know about it, u don't need me to tell u about it.
13. Me and U by Cassie
I'm sorry. I know she can't sing live. I know the video is ripped off The Pleasure Principle by Janet Jackson. But, she IS hot. And the song is unstoppable. Cmon they ripped off Bananarama for it, it's genius.
14. Random by Lady Sovereign
Yeah it's from late last yearm but I'm giving it Ladytron status, in the sense that the song came out so late and is so brilliant that it should be on here. Grime lives. And so does the mini, less cute, harsher, version of MIA. Make way for the SOV.
15. Sofa Song by The Kooks
Really you need the vinyl equivalent of the first side of the whole album. This band reminds of Should Coco era Supergrass. This may be the best example of what they do. Maybe a little more stripped down, like Dodgy. Who knows, they are pretty great. This album SHOULD be out in the States, but it STILL isn't. But, download it or wait till October for it. Actually scratch that, I'd rather it stay in the UK, so I won't have to hear it on a WB/CW ad or the OC, unless it's on an Anna episode.(Yes I still like the OC, but they've ruined enough perfectly good bands. And yes I played my elitist card there, too bad.)
16. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by The Arctic Monkeys
Sure they are over, but this song is still great.(Despite being older as well) Someone's gotta try and fill the Libertines void.(Of course maybe Babyshambles or Dirty Pretty Things would fill it better.)
17. Cry Till The Morning by Richard Ashcroft
Hey Dickie is back and he's DEPRESSED just like the salad days. It's as good as anything he's done post-Verve. Well sung, nice feel. Who woulda thought Ashcroft and Ian Brown(of Stone Roses fame) would be REALLY relevent in 2005 and 2006.
18. Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco
This feels like one of only 3 hip hop tunes I've heard right now that I like. I like that Tribe Called Quest style beat and Fiasco is pretty smooth.
That's enough feel free comment, disagree, call me out on something I forget or open yourself up to a "fuck that."

Holy shit
Yes I'm due for a blog that tells u important stuff. Important fucking stuff.
In the name of rock and roll we discuss records first.
The Outlaw Gosey Wales wants me to tell u the best record this year is Asobi Seksu's Citrus. But he is WRONG. Maybe that's just cuz I am sick and fucking tired of swirling/Bloody Valentine esque guitars. They bore me to the point of vomiting on someone's lap, can't we just leave the swirling mass of sound to the Warlocks and Ulrich Schnauss and call it a day.
Anyway, everyone knows the best album of the year is coming out on Tues.(Well today, cuz its late as hell.) And that is Dirty Pretty Things. They are from the UK, and lead singer Carl Barat is best known as being non fucked up one from the Libertines.
Anyway, he basically grabbed two of the members from the old band(including Doherty's replacement) and formed a new band that makes remember not only how great that band was, but that it was Carl Barat who often made that first Libertines album so genius. It's rambunctious, vile, sloppy, all the things rock and roll should be. And single You Fucking Love It is the kind of brash declarations we all need.
Now the song of the year is EASILY Lets Make Love and Listen To Death From Above by CSS.(also known as Cansei De Ser Sexy) Its that same kind of post punk funkiness that we used to love from Out Hud(before they broke up) with the kind of sexiness that can only come from God's Country(aka Brazil). And besides who can go wrong with a good rock and roll reference.(I'm looking at you LCD Soundsystem/DFA).
Speaking of Death from Above(aka Death From Above 1979) they broke up. How sad. Which is the worse breakup, Out Hud, Test Icicles, or Death From Above? I'll say the Icicles cuz they coulda REALLY made interesting albums, but Out Hud makes me feel worse because I will miss their Expose/80's style vocals meets post punk. However, I guess they will live on in !!! form. Or at least some of the members will.
So Clerks II was good actually, but not as good as Strangers with Candy, which wasn't as good Talladega Nights. Wow I really hate myself for giving Will Ferrell a pass now. Anyway, Strangers With Candy had the BEST drug scene I've seen in like 10 years, it was absurdly great.
I went and saw Urgh: A Music War at the Drafthouse and it was truly amazing to see such early Echo and The Bunnymen footage, Devo at the height of their power, Klaus Nomi right before he became the first major personality befallen by AIDS, Gary Numan playing a kraftwerkian robot so grandiously, and almost as well as they did, and Gang of Four right before it all went wrong. Its worth tracking down the crappy VHS copy somewhere, it was at least as good as Decline of Western Civilization.
Rebelde update: FINALLY we have hit Rebelde Season 3. Roberta still dating Inaki, but she loves Diego who was kinda dating the much younger Lola and possibly Augustina. Diego is also hiding out from his father for some reason I can't discern. Vico is getting hit by her father for the 8th month in a row. Rocco still loves her, and is trying to help. Mia/Miguel broken up by Sabrina, the childcare worker. Its probably going to happen, but they are still together for now. Celina and Sol are feuding slightly over some typical petty Rebelde shit. Jose Lujan has a new man named Alex, while Teo is still with the absurdly hot Raquel. And of course they also still dig on each other. In IMPORTANT Rebelde news Nico has finally returned to find his wifey Lupe with Santos and she's confused about who she wants. Alma Rey and Franco fighting their way back Thin Lizzy style to each other. In REAL RBD news, they seem to fucking own America now, appearing on Geraldo and shite like that. Oh and an upcoming English album too.
We need a new countdown: how about the Borat movie countdown: 3 months or so.
The Flash recommends: The first Raincoats album. If u can find it, get it. Pay 20 bucks for it, since it's out of print. Download it. Rarely has post punk needed 4 girls, a violin and angular riffs so much.(Well Tuxedomoon had a pretty good violin, but Raincoats are still better.)

I say leave Keira Knightley alone.
Anorexic? That's total fucking bullshit, attacking Keira like that. I swear the press needs to stop Shouldn't we just appreciate the sweetly pretty look Keira has. She is absurdly great looking by the way. Lest we not forget the harsh cursing yet prim and proper style. Didn't they fucking see Domino? That told u everything u needed to know about Double K. Oh wait she was nominated for an OSCAR last year. An Oscar. Like Dame Judi Dench, like Meryl Streep. They need to recognize her greatness. If the press wants to attack a skinny actress, might I suggest Lindsey Lohan. She's a stupid broad anyway, and has been in ZERO good films.(Alright, mean girls was ok. But only because of Lacey Chabert.)
Mu wanted Michael Jackson Alone. I'm saying leave Keira Knightley alone. Don't be mad that she's just better than u press peeps.

Assorted Garbage in the 128th edition of Pristineness
IBM. IBM. IBM. NHK. NHK. NHK. U ARE ROBOT. U ARE ROBOT.- The Plastics
The New Warriors are dead and I'm still pissed off. Naruto rolls on in brilliance till 140 I hear.(I'm at like 112)
So the end of Cinema Frenzy. Satyricon was a little too hand servent sweaty male dependent for my tastes, but the look and colors were cool. But, I couldn't make it through it. Ms 45 shot every one with a penis, but alas it wasn't as cool as fucking Driller Killer which is a masterwork of trash and rock and roll.(making it absolute glory and deserving the classic Vikings Stand Up Award.) However, Aguirre Wrath of God is THE best Herzog film I've seen. Its maddening and historical. And Klaus Kinski goes CRAZEE like usual. Its an interesting time.
No I haven't been to the movies yet to Superman or other stuff, but I will try and do so in the next few days. "Holiday" notwithstanding. Tomorrow, I will be seeing the rock and roll puppet show of Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Now I've heard much about this spectacle and I'm sure it will be at least fun to watch, even if the tunes aren't so great.
Last time I went to see them, I actually MISSED them, because I was down the street catching Brassy(with Jon Spencer's younger just as ballsy sister). Brassy was great, but I missed Quintron to my disappointment. Of course, this disappointment went away when I caught the act of a drunken space wearing lad by the name of Bob Log III.(Yes he did boobscotch, in fact the song had just come out.)
Am I really the only person who likes Zatch Bell? I think I may be. Is Don Patch more Sun than Gangster? I still don't know. And why am I asking questions no one else cares about, Larry King style? Because I can.
Jessica Simpson divorced! que lastima! That is still not as depressing as Ashlee's nose job. Damn it, one of these Hollywood marriages has got to last.I'm betting on Tom and Katie. Her career is over anyway. She can now live out her own personal Scientologist housewife dream.(That sounds like a Boards of Canada song title.)
Rebelde update: I will try to watch it tomorrow, but soccer is on again Tues, so I will probably be out of the loop again till Thurs. So ask me then.
The Flash recommends: As much Knight Rider as possible. And then call me in the morning.(That means afternoon, all u early risers)
Clerks II countdown: What a few weeks, I think.

Jessica Simpson divorced! que lastima! That is still not as depressing as Ashlee's nose job. Damn it, one of these Hollywood marriages has got to last.I'm betting on Tom and Katie. Her career is over anyway. She can now live out her own personal Scientologist housewife dream.(That sounds like a Boards of Canada song title.)
Rebelde update: I will try to watch it tomorrow, but soccer is on again Tues, so I will probably be out of the loop again till Thurs. So ask me then.
The Flash recommends: As much Knight Rider as possible. And then call me in the morning.(That means afternoon, all u early risers)
Clerks II countdown: What a few weeks, I think.

Is It really possible?
That Astrud Gilberto is the best female singer ever. She very well might be. I'm taking arguments now.
Records are bombness
I Know A Called Elsa, She's Into Alka Seltzer.- Oasis
Since there was such backlash on Britney, I'm talking about records today. Which usually seems to be a popular topic. And where are my outraged peeps on the Persuaders debacle?
Anyway on to the records.
The Cardigans have a new record out called Super Extra Gravity. Ok its been out for a couple of months, but we're talking imports 30 dollar range. So, its taken awhile to track down a copy on the cheap.(lets just call it on tha super aquisition cheap.)
And guess what it sounds just like Life, their 1995 masterwork. Ok actually it just sounds good when I type that. But it TOTALLY SOUNDS like their LAST ALBUM. Much to my disappointment. All I want is some good time pop songs from Nina Persson(sadly no longer blonde and brilliantly coiffed) and co. Like Sick and Tired. Sick and Fucking Tired was so genius in its arrangement and catchy chorus. While the band rocks out somewhat on this album to mixed results, nothing rocks as hard as their earlier cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.(also from Life) But it ain't all doom and gloom ladies and gents, there are some moments. And if u like the band, u SHOULD have it. But IF u don't have ANY of their records, I swear Life is an album everybody should add to their endless collection of 45's.
Junior Senior best known for their Don't Stop The Beat madness from years ago.(U know the song, I promise. It was unstoppable.) Their new album Hey My Yo Yo, also in 20+$ import form(acquired on tha super cheap) came out a few months ago too. And it is kind of disappointing too. There are some weird almost Go-Team esque tunes, with handclaps and beats that don't really seem to be beats. Needless to say alot of the organized carnage of Gay/Straight Vocals mixed with 60's guitar and crashing drum machines has disappeared. Its strange its almost a Fannypack level fall off we are talking about, in the sense that they have literally taken away the facets that made them great.(In fannypack's case, it was making the rhymes abit too harsh, instead of playful.)
My man fucking man Richard Ashcroft has an album that came out in import form and frankly tha NME was RIGHT. Ashcroft officially the man again. Cry Till The Morning is as good as any tune he's done since Song For The Lovers, maybe even Velvet Morning or Monte Carlo. Why not nothing has horns, strings. If Ian Brown is the Resurrection, Ashcroft is Music.(Yeah I know no one got that one, but fuck it, it did mean something so I liked it).
The Flash has an old school recommendation: Lets go with something that smashes shit up. In honor of a friend of this blog, Gosey Wales and his ELO addicted blog, I recommend one of his jukebox faves. Television-Marquee Moon. Venus, my personal fave tune, is a strange esoteric musing written by head man Tom Verlaine all about NY when it was cool. The dueling guitars, that open tuning, u can't beat the brilliance of the whole album, let alone all 15 minutes of the title song.
As Gose would say, he wants to get the most out of his jukebox dollar so I'm putting on Marquee Moon.
I'm feeling jovial, here's one that is a bitch to find. The Modern Lovers-The Modern Lovers.
Jonathan Richman vs Hippie Johnny. Pablo Picasso not called an asshole, not like young. The way Richman sings these songs, u can tell he single handedly created that stoner vocal phrasing. Ok it was him and Iggy, but Richman deserves respect too.
Rebelde update: Roberta got Diego in trouble with his girlfriend by hiding her keys in her shirt. Which caused them to
I think Vico was beaten by her pa again. Rocco protected her from having to explain it to his father and the other peeps. Sabrina after Miguel. Mia back from Spain with Miguel. Lujan and Lupe were doing stuff, but I didn't pay attention and missed it. Look only one day was on this week, so that's what happened ok. No Teo. Giovann and Tomas did nothing as usual. Celina dissed Mia for Sol, abit. But, that's it.

What A Sell Out
I actually find myself liking Belle and Sebastian. Well moments. My two-disc compilation should cover it. Still I'm a sell out for liking it, I know.

Cinema Frenzy!
Streets Like A Jungle, So Call The Police.
Its Cinema Frenzy Day. I figured it was time to see some glory in both foreign and trash formats. Ms. 45. SCTV(the one where Dave Thomas does Richard Harris singing Macarthur Park 60's style.) and also got some crazed Herzog action, as if Abel Ferarra isn't fucked enough. However what I am most intrigued to see in the next few days, is Psych Out with Jack Nicholson and Max Julien(aka Goldie from the Mack). Oh and Al from Quantum Leap plays a hippie as well. And its all soundtracked by Strawberry Alarm Clock, well at least that one song they played every time on that Groovin compilation commercial on TV.
So they are making The Persuaders with my main man Steve Coogan.(of Tristam Shandy or for tha rockers 24 hr party people.) He's playing Roger Moore's Lord Sinclair, which is only funny because Rob Brydon kept making that joke in Tristam Shandy about Coogan ripping off Roger Moore's acting style. That is ok.
However it really is all doom and gloom ladies and gents, because BEN STILLER is playing Danny Wilde aka Tony Curtis.
What? That is stupider than Britney's interview. Stiller now officially gets off the pass list he got for Zoolander.
Actually scratch that. When he did that the Grungies sketch with Odenkirk and Andy Dick, I think that has earned him an eternal pass. So forget it, the movie will still be crap.
Me the Paris Hilton fan, hates the new song by the way. Its not a 1/16th as good as the Mu song about her.
Futureheads played ok, sonic youth ok. Sonic Youth was the classic case of just being too old. They just don't hunger for carnage or fame as much, anymore. They are just comfortable, and their peeps will support them no matter. Credit them on this, but it makes for less than exciting listening sometimes. Their heyday was like 15 years ago at least, so I guess they played like their age.
And if we are talking 80's NY bands, its Pussy Galore all the way.(Download the records ok, u can't really buy them as often anymore.)
Futureheads need more players and more toughness. They need more sneer less pop. That and Gang Of Four's Andy Gill producing or on guitar.
Yes I really spent 50 bucks on an album. Its a new high. But it was the Ultimate Collection of Yellow Magic Orchestra. Double Disc from Japan. As hard as it is finding Pussy Galore albums, its even worse trying to find YMO. They're the Japanese Kraftwerk, by the way. Their tunes are genius, it was worth it. Now if anyone sees a copy of Plastics-Welcome Back, let me know.
No more blogging tonight, must write more Flash Carnage, it is more important u know.
Rebelde update: Uh I keep missing it, due to soccer moving it to weird times. But, not much seems to be happening from what I heard in passing.
The Flash recommends: Betting on the Argentines in the World Cup.
Clerks II about a month, I think.
Stereolab is good for composing, so I had old school ones and new ones, to keep the calmness high. So that's what I listened too.

U Can Never Look Away From Trainwrecks.
I'm the one that switched up the drum, I'm bossy. Kelis
I told Beath I would discuss the Britney interview, which I flipped to during the Mavs.
A year or more for another album? I can't wait till her version of History Vol 1 comes out because Britney is THE NEW MICHAEL JACKSON. Not the good Michael Jackson. Post Bad era. Actually the way she looks, lets say Post Dangerous era. She's endangered kids, just like Jacko, too.(Ok not quite in the same way)
She hates Madonna now. So much for the Like A Prayer style comeback.(Not to say that era of Madonna didn't suck. See Theorem of Madonna for more on that.)
She's a housewife and cleans. Like Mark Summers after Double Dare, all she does is clean.
She wants the paparazzi, to LEAVE HER ALONE. I can't wait for the video where she rides in a theme park rocket past pictures of Liz Taylor and the Elephant Man. She might as well remake that too, after butchering Bobby Brown and Joan Jett. Speaking of Bobby, she makes Whitney look like Alessandra Ambrosio now, by the way.
Here's the deal if u have kids, u can't be a fantasy because you are now SOMEBODY'S MOM. Gone are any possible runaway rampages of sex and debauchery, because your kids need cookies and juice. Or help tying their shoes. Unlike Trick Daddy I don't love tha kidz. I mean it kinda ruined Shannon Sossamon, for me. That whole kids thing. I liked it better when she was in 40 days and 40 nights. Arty and dark and HOT. It was all good fucking times, but then came the kids. And the glory just faded.
Well that's a half truth. Just as Shannon is hot again, going against the Britney interview and the game, was Nelly Furtado on Fox. Uh she's had kids and is a pop star. And oh yeah, she's CRAZY hot again. Like I'm Like A Fuckin Bird Hot again.(Just Dirtier.) I want her on my team and so does everybody else. She even came back from that total crap 2nd album. How is it possible Britney is in this state, when her expats Xtina is fucking hot again and no longer crazy? Mandy is successful as an actress(lets not mention the past 3 records.) And Jessica is bigger than all of them.(In career and boobs of course. Despite Xtina's boob job making it close.) I can't believe that the broad who did two excellent sexual videos(baby one more time, and I'm a slave) is now officially the younger blonder Michael Jackson. Timberlake is officially the smartest man in America for leaving that sinking ship. Official Boos and catcalls earned.
Now some might say, weren't u supposed to smashing stuff up on this blog? Why talk about a pop star? 1.Cuz its crazy how she was so famous and now she's Stacey Q, Lola Heatherton and Jacko all combined. 2. Because I can. 3. I'm being rock and roll later on by seeing Front Line Assembly.(In all their industrial glory) So Fuck It.
The Flash recommends: Not watching the Youtube version of this interview. It will depress u.(Especially u Beath)
Rebelde update: RBD is still on tour in the US, so I guess u could go see them at an arena, since they are off tv still.(And the show is off in Mexico.)
Clerks II countdown: Its gotta be what 3 weeks or so.
Feel free and join me for why Marvel's Civil War is cool but also has the 2nd STUPIDEST THING IVE HEARD THIS WEEK. And how Echo and The Bunnymen sound playing My Rescue Live. Oh yeah and the SOV.
