real fucking cool Chipotle


So yeah, the Chipotle in La Mesa gives you Hepatitis A.

Woohoo for getting punished for eating good food by an asshole employee who didn't wash his hands.

For more information on this wonderful event check out the Food Poisoning Law Blog.


UPDATE:

Picture 1

There have been 14 cases connected with it, google "chipotle hepatitis" because I don't feel like posting a link, rather my Internet doesn't feel like letting me.

Hello. This my latest track selection. Enjoy this crap.

Let's start with Refused. Listening to this band in the context of their time reveals how amazing their music is. A whole heapload of bands today are basically ripping off what Refused did ten years ago. They are broken up now, and they're last days are chronicled in the documentary "Refused Are Fuckin' Dead." Although it is somewhat heavy-handed, it's still a good watch. Here is probably my favorite track from them, "Better Off Dead."
(mp3 download) Refused "Rather Be Dead"

Now, we'z gonna get funky. You know Daft Punk? Well, this song was heavily sampled for "Robot Rock." In fact, that entire song is made up of one riff from "Release The Beast" by Breakwater. 9th Wonder also sampled this for the intro of the Murs album, "3:16 The 9th Edition." Here you go...

The Office (the British version) supposedly inspired this band name, Does It Offend You, Yeah? Google how, I don't feel like typing it all out. But their debut album is legit. Each song has a different style to it, but able to keep with the whole theme of the album, which is electronic kick-ass. Here is one of my favorite tracks from the album.
(mp3 download) Does It Offend You, Yeah? "Dawn of the Dead"

OLD SCHOOL. Whodini. "Freaks Come Out At Night." Enough said.

Lastly, we have Tech N9ne. I recently went to his show at House of Blues and was actually pretty stoked in the end. This dude puts on a fun show, even did his own version of "What, What, In The Butt" from South Park. This is off one of his early, early albums.

Ya' dig?

demonoid lives

Demonoid.com is back online. Fuck yes.

No more dealing with shitty torrent sites.

And my original login still works.


Today is shaping up to be pretty sweet. I still have that useless Management of Media Organizations class at 430p...bummer.

P.S. I still buy albums. I just utilize demonoid to test them out. Why spend hard earned money on albums that are 5% awesome and 95% crap?

wow. eli has got mad skillz.



Yo, so this is a freestyle "battle."

It's the most entertaining thing I've seen all week. Yeah, I know we're only two days in, but whatever.

So, Envy seems to have his head on straight, though his flow is weak as shit. Eli on the other hand has to have some sort of mental damage, or he must be super special.

Anyway, watch Eli wreck Envy's shit.

Hey, what's up? Oh, really? That's supercool.

Now that the formalities are in order, here is my fourth mixtape.


I threw some rock in, that's right I did it. But there is still hip-hop involved. Another mixtape, another five songs.


So hereeeee we go:

First up is Brandston. I mostly dig this song because it mentions areas from where I live now. "Wonderful" San Diego. It's super-dancey stuff and also extremely poppy. But I likez it that way sometimes so here, without out further ado is Brandston's "Earthquakes and Sharks."

Hello, Jupiter One. I don't know much of anything about these guys, except for this song is good, and I can't find their album anywhere. In other words — an awesome situation. If you know where I can get this by walking from my house, please let me know.
(mp3 download) Jupiter One "Platform Moon"

Next, we have Neon Neon. I found out about these guys, because one of the members is producer Boom Bip. He's done beats for one of my favorite rappers, Busdriver. I figured since I like that stuff, I should check out this project. The album is super '80s influenced — some spots remind me of The Cars. There are also some super weird tracks, imagine The Cars with Spank Rock. Yeah, it's pretty sweet.
(mp3 download) Neon Neon "I Told Her On Alderaan"

Almost done, there are these two dudes from Chicago that go by the name The Cool Kids. Guess what. They're cool ... SURPRISE!! So far, they've got one EP sorta out, "Totally Flossed Out." I hear they're full-length is due out soon. I hope so. This is a remix of one of the tracks from their EP. Flosstradamus reinterprets this for our listening pleasure. Enjoy it.
(mp3 download) The Cool Kids "Pump Up The Volume (Flosstradamus Remix)"

Lastly, this one goes baaaaack. Remeber Mo' Thugs? The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony headed collective? Yeah, I do. Here is a track featuring Layzie Bone and Skano. An interesting side-note, one of the members of Mo' Thugs is Souljah Boy, notice the "h," meaning not the "Crank That" Soulja Boy. Yeah, Soulja Boy pulled the ole' Vanilla Ice move on 'em. IT'S NOT THE SAME, THAT LITTLE "DING" MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. AHHHHH, ALL CAPS!!! Enough.
(mp3 download) Mo' Thugs "Heart Of It"


There you go. Have fun, live well. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

calling it




So the above video features Kobe Bryant sporting the new Nike Hyperdunk shoe. The fun doesn't stop there, he proceeds to jumps over an Aston Martin, which is driving pretty quick directly toward him.

Now, it's obviously fake. Or at least that's what I think.

And I'm right. Kobe's answer to the "real" question is "It's Hollywood, baby."


I could care less about the shoes, but I just want everyone to know that I'm calling it. What am I calling? An onslaught of idiots purchasing this shoe and being hit by cars, probably not ones as flashy as an Aston Martin.

The sales of this shoe will correlate with the amount of heads through windshields.

I'm calling it.

ballin'



straight ballin'.

all day.

garfield minus garfield


So, my wonderfully overweight coworker, Mike, just showed me these.


Go over to Garfield Minus Garfield and look for hilarious loneliness.

boredom? to the max.



I have about one hour until a meeting and then class and then production, a.k.a. I'm bored.


I don't really know what to say. This is kind of a filler. What am I filling? I have no idea.


Actually, I do have an idea. The internet here sucks. It won't let me do anything cool.


I'll have a legit post later tonight ... probably.

society?



So, a long, long time ago, I made a short. It was kinda sorta supposed to be for a film class, but not really. Don't ask.

Basically, me and a couple friends drove up to the local resevoir and shot this. Many other things were shot in the process: my sweet '87 Trans Am, Babak and my pride to name a few.

free charles manson album...holy shit!


So, Charles Manson has finally made his latest album, "One Mind," available for free on the internetz. Just with a simple click, you now have access to this wonderful piece of music. And it's under the Creative Commons license, so feel free to rip out those club remixes.
 
If you want to check it out, it's available by simply clicking the supercool hyperlink riiiiiiiiight here.

I haven't heard it yet, but here is a haiku describing what it probably sounds like:

Charles Manson sings,
There's creepy guitar too,
"One Mind" will kill me.

I'll update if my mind changes after hearing it.

some paper

So, this blog is going to expand.

Instead of just posting music, I'm going to post things I find interesting as well — I think that's what blogs are meant for, oh well.

Here are some interesting pieces of paper I've come across:

This one above is an exceptionally wonderful piece I found taped to a light pole near campus. These things were all over. One thing is clear, Tony G knows where and how to party. Did anyone go?

I found this shopping list tucked in a seat on the trolley. Here we see into the mind of the typical "live by public transit" type. What a wonderful specimen. Notice the party items followed up quickly by the "phone card" must-have. Any guess on the nationality on the creator of this list? most likely mexican.

e003


Alright, so here are a few tracks that have been helping me kill my iPod lately.


First is B.o.B. I read about him in the latest issue of URB and this guy's music is soooooo much fun. A another good example that "The South" can release quality music — and all he has released to date are mixtapes. He reminds me of Nappy Roots, a lot, mixed with Outkast, and all kinds of good stuff ... like Captain Crunch (best cereal ever). So, here is "Grip Your Body" off the "LRG: Hi, My Name is Bob" mixtape. It also features a nice Amy Winehouse sample. WOO for crack.

Next, I've got The Grouch. The Living Legends affiliate is old. By old, I mean making music for days and by "days," I mean years. He just released his latest album "Show You the World" earlier this month. It basically keeps my hopes high, in that, not all my favorite Left Coast underground rappers are crapping it up (i.e. Zion-I going hyphy, what the fuck?) This track has MURS on it, and although I just dissed hyphy eight words, a comma and a parenthetical mark ago, "The Bay to L.A." is cool. Hyphy music isn't necessarily bad because of the beats, but more because the lyrical content blows. So, here is a definite hyphy beat with some interesting lyrics doing it justice.

Crooked I. Good gangsta rap still exists? The LBC is still relevant? Yes, yes it does, and it is. Crooked I, who is obsessed with the word "BOSS" and wants you to know, has been releasing a freestyle per week since April 2007 for free. Each track uses a mainstream, well-known rap beat that Crooked I proceeds to destroy with his off-the-top rhymes. He's not very well-known these days, but for sure is something to check out. This is his freestyle from Week 50. Check it out, as well as all the other freestyles over at the Dynasty Entertainment Group Forum.

Almost done. This is Eligh. "Love Thrice" is a rework of Justin Timberlake's "My Love." 1/2 of G&E with the above-mentioned The Grouch and also a Living Legends member, Eligh's beats are out-of-this-world. I'm pretty convinced he could make Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" into a bangin'-ass song. This track is off the album he did with Magi entitled "The Brothers Grimm." Pick it up, it's filled with all kinds of cool tunes like this one.

Lastly, we have Mickey Factz. Another artist I read about in URB's latest issue. His flow ranges from fast-paced hardness to soft, I'm-gonna-sleep-with-your-girlfriend loveness. His mixtape "Heaven's Fallout" is available for free from his MySpace and you should probably check it out, because well ... it's free. This is one of the super-duper tracks from that mixtape.


Alright, so there you go, some jimmy-jams after a long hiatus from this thing. As my social life continues to dwindle because of school and work, this will probably become my main source of socialization, even if all my views come from me hitting the refresh button.

Fuck you, I'm happy.


prelude

So....I got my host, so, a few tracks will be up sometime today...ish.


Probably more hip-hop than anything else.


Is anyone reading this?

Am I...here?


I don't know, but this cat sure is:

interlude

Hey, yeah, so I've neglected this thing for days, absolutely days.

Now, I feel like getting back into it. My first two original posts don't do a damn thing, because I neglected the site that was hosting the tracks as well.  Payback's a bitch.

But yeah, as soon as I get my account up-and-running again, I'll try and give this thang some more lovin'.

Lovin'.
