Don't Touch!

One of the best MELTDOWNS ever!

New Releases!

Jurassic 5 “Feedback” (3 out of 5)

I have to start off by saying…I LOVE J-5! I admit a couple of months ago when I heard the lead single “Work It Out” and found out that Cut Chemist left the group I was a bit nervous. Actually, I was thinking BLACK EYED PEAS all over again. I went ahead and tested the waters today and picked up “Feedback”. While this LP isn’t a complete let down it really doesn’t make me jump off the ground with my arms in the air looking like Grover. I don’t know what it is and I can’t put my finger on it but this is my LEAST favorite J-5 outing. Maybe it will grow on me over time. It’s not that the rhymes, subject matter, style, etc is out of wack it’s something else, elusive. So far the goodies on here are: “Back 4 U“, “Radio” (Dope throwback song!) and “Red Hot“. The rest seems like a mish mash of tunes that don’t really hit me like “What’s Golden” or “Jayou” did back in the day. I’ll give it more time to sink in.

Pharrell “In My Mind” (3 and a half out of 5)

This is Skateboard P’s debut solo outing and I would have to say it is a VERY solid one. These tracks have range and are all OVER the place from 80’s sounding New Wave pop to early MJ songs to straight up gut busting hip hop anthems. You have to respect a dude that can produce and write an ENTIRE project. That takes skill. A lot of the subject matter on here relates to feelings, relationships, chicks, hot chicks and the ladies. Some of my early favorites are: “Raspy Shit“, “Young Girl/I Really Like You“ & the single “Number One”. The CD is VERY long and maybe it’s my ADD kicking in but he could have left about 4-5 songs on the cutting floor and I would have probably given this a 4 or 4.5. He’s doing his thing and doing it well. Me likey.

Peace-DAG! 

Is It The Hottest Day Of The Summer?

There is enough hate in the world to go around. I will be posting a couple of music reviews later today.

TRU

Well, I just got in from laying down a couple of verses and some chorus work on NUMBS songs. I'd say it was a fairly productive night. But now I have to try to sleep for what...5 hours? Then I get to wake up...work for 12 hours, come home, change and head to Ogden for a ROTTEN MUSICIANS show @ Brewskis. Someone please call the WHAMbulance for me. Peace- DAG! (side note: I ran into Dave Payne today outside of Black Cat's Comics. he spit a BAD RAP for me and it went like this...My Penis is Illin/I need some Penicillin/Or my dick will be mispellin') 

DROP!

Why can't all RAP videos be this good...Enjoy!

CRAZEY BUZEE

This pic is from the Rotten Musicians show this past Friday. Look how "IVORY" my arm is. The RMR (Rocky Mountain Revue) started this past weekend. The Utah Jazz have played two games and they are one and one. I am SOLD on Paul Milsap and I think he should play behind Boozer at the 4 spot. The guy is incredibly active and has a knack for finding the ball (a big guy who can hit his free throws, what?). D-Will is a man among boys out there. If he keeps playing with confidence and leadership like he has been and the "Williams vs Paul" debate will soon be over. What about Ronnie Brewer?...this guy is cat-quick and a slasher. His game kind of reminds me of Corey Magette (LA Clips) but it is obviously not as polished. I REALLY like what i've seen of him so far (ATHLETIC!). Dee Brown could be a sparkplug off of the bench (think Bobby Jackson) through the season...I think he will make the team as well. I hope to get out to a few of these games this week over at SLCC and politic with the ballers! On a different note, "Pirates 2" made $258 million over the last 10 days. that's alot of Booty! Johnny Depp knows how to make those panties (BLANK). Fill it in...Peace-DAG! 

The INFAMOUS Dojo Fight

This clip deserves multiple viewings to get the full effect. Pinky should have NEVER went against B.B.J! Check out the ultimate BURN when Jones is delivering a kung fu smackdown on one of the goons and he is wearing the thugs HAT, CLASSIC! this has some language in it so if that offends you, EARMUFFS! Peace-DAG!

Three fingers pointing back at me...

What's up BLOGSphere? Put on those Mickey Mouse ears and feel better about yourself. Things seem to be on the up and up. We had a good Rotten Musicians practice last night for the SLUG Localized gig on Friday. I picked up some new cords and a new MIC at Guitar Center yesterday. I need to try and get down to Provo this week for a little LYRICAL KUNG FU. I like posting the videos on here from the YOU TUBE. Expect MORE to come. Speaking of...If you have never seen "Black Belt Jones" it is a MUST...so get on it. "Dolemite" rules as well! My guilty little pleasure lately is posting on the "Rants And Raves" section of the Salt Lake City Craigslist. My monikor on there is "BABA GANOOSH" check more of that here... http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/rnr/ Peace- DAG! 

Black Belt Jones

This is the intro from one the the BEST American films ever made. Later this week I'll post the "Dojo Fight Scene". I got to get this on DVD.

We were a bunch of "PALLIES"

New Story Arc

It feels good to wipe the slate clean and start over. Everyone needs a RETRO GIRL to step in with her powers and set things straight. This is a metaphor of course but you get the idea. Oh yeah, Roo called me last night to tell me the NUMBS show was on Comcast again, I got the VM this morning...DAMN! Peace-Dag! 

Crazy Girl

Look at this CRAZY picture of Elektra on July 4th. She looks sooo intense. Spooky- Dag! 

Nothing Is Static, Everything Is Falling Apart

Nihilism: An extreme form of skepticism that denies all existence. A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. A rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious belief. The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.

SO, AM I A NIHILIST? or just a LIVING DYSFUNCTION? There is no POWER or MAGIC that can take me back to where I was once (If I was ever there)...Things were so MUCH easier when I actually FELT something. Hope is more pain then pleasure. But then again I can't feel it...DAG! 

Happy 4th of July, Enjoy The Fireworks!
