Mikey Rocks

Yes, Mikey rocks. No, I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Inglish. Short post for now, but this song is fucking fire. I think I burned my ears.

My young bol status once again causes me to be way too excited over this. But seriously, how can you not? Classic emo-thug-rap. Who's got more?



Thanks djdstar.

White Girl Lust

If you were hoping for something else from the title of this post, sorry perv. Just kidding, 143 823 247 and all that...

Being the young bol that I am, I'm excited to post this. Discobelle got the scoop on the new White Girl Lust mixtape, "Bay Slaps & Disco Raps." Maaan, they're so lucky. Don't believe me? See the tracklist and download the thing before it's gone here. C'mon, download it and listen to it so we can be twinsies bitch. I like the unexpected Cut Copy track WGL threw in the mix too (Sorry, spoiled it). I just can't get enough of those darn mixtapes. FPG knows the deal. They have a nice Showbiz & AG remix to "Party Groove" on the Discobelle post too.

Store Thirteen Grand Opening Sat Nov 18th.

If you happen to be passing through the West Covina, CA area stop by and check out this store this Saturday. We'll be there to support "the homie".

Own a Ghostface.

This has been talked about for a long time now but now the info is reemerging just in time for Christmas. Not only is he coming out with a new followup to his "Fish Scales" album called "More Fish" he's going to offering up his likeness for a mere $500. This doll uses REAL 14k gold, has REAL gold avenging eagle (optional), rocks REAL Swarovski crystals, and packaged in a REAL limited edition gold sealed box. That's REAL. Only 500 will be made and there's a one in 500 chance that you get to kick it with Pretty Toney himself. I know, I know. PS3...Pretty Toney...PS3...Pretty Toney. It's a rough decision.

Google offers free calls

Google is testing out their newest feature where Google can call certain business for you for free. Basically, when you do a search for a business it pulls up its info. You'll see a "call" link. Click it and calls both your phone number and their number—then connects the call. Here's more info.

Not platinum... chrome...

I've been thinking and thinking about how to describe this thing and this is what I came up with...

If you want to listen to some Hip Hop music, FUCK everything else you're listening to right now and listen to Chrome Children! I'm serious!! Not really, but this is shit is NICE.

The selection of tracks on this are all real REAL nice and you get a DVD with it too. It was hard to pick, but here are 2 choice tracks.

Koushik - None In Mind [mp3]
Roc 'C' - Movin' [mp3] (lyrics = *****)

I didn't include a link to J Dilla's "Nothing Like This" track because you can hear that on YouTube along with the video. Also, I didn't include the bigger named artists' tracks because you're supposed to buy this thing. Oh whuuuuuut.....

Chrome Children
Purchase: iTunes, eMusic, Amazon

p.s. Vote for KUCI in the PLUG awards! We were nominated. We're in the "Media Categories (General)" under "College/Non-Comm Radio Station of the Year." Do it!

Tangerine...

Whether you're talking about the Dundee United or Blackpool football clubs or not, one thing is for sure... that tangerine is one good piece of fruit. Mmm Mmm! What am I talking about? I dunno... or do I? I want a tangerine! Wanna hear a song? Here you go buttface...

BPM your music

It used to be that most DJs who wanted to blend their music made it a habit to BPM their records and mark their vinyl accordingly. You'd have to count the beats for a minute (or do a 30 second times two deal) and hope that you didn't mess up count or forget when you were supposed to stop counting. For those that didn't know already here's a BPM counter widget for all you Mac OS X users. You can accurately BPM all your vinyl in half the time. If you use iTunes it automatically updates the song with the added BPM at the click of a mouse—it comes in handy for Serato users.

Improv Everywhere

There are these guys called Improv Everywhere. I'm not sure how to describe them, but whoa!... they do some interesting things. They recently did something on the televison show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" They've also orchestrated such things like synchronized pants dropping of hundreds of particitpants on NYC subways or a cell phone symphony in a local bookstore in front of unsuspecting workers and patrons. They have video and photos of their missions on their site too. You can even participate in these antics and hi-jinks if you so desire as well. If you do, let us know. Maybe we'll join you!

Since we're on the topic of improv...

Brokeback--Beyonce & Eva Langoria style.

It's been confirmed. Eva Langoria and Beyonce are thinking about playing lesbian lovers in a Sofia Coppola film 'Tipping The Velvet'. It's based on Sarah Water's novel about sexual repression....blah blah blah. Why are you even reading this far? Dude, they're playing lesbian lovers!

Durrty...

Ohhhhh yeah! Youse a lil dirty, dirty, DIRTY little newsroom reporter girl ain't 'cha? I will now put you up near the level of LUSTY Los Angeles newsroom reporter girls (look below) Lauren Sanchez, Jillian Barberie and Sharon Tay—except that you have a dirty little mouth that says what your dirty mind wants to say.

Drunken, Racist Frat Dudes Sue Borat [Tripwire]

Better explained on The Tripwire... some drunken, racist frat dudes sue Borat. I really like this story. It makes me really like Borat even more. It makes me think of a few people I've run across who don't think there is racism anymore and say, "--[some bad things here]--."


From The Tripwire...

If you've seen Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan (and I'll assume all of you have), then you'll definitely remember the SoCal frat dude-filled RV that scoops up a hitch-hiking Borat along the side of the road. You remember, right? I found it kind of hard to forget, what with all the over the top discussions on how to treat their "bitches" and, oh yea, how this country would be a much better place if we could still own slaves. You know... your typical drunk frat dude banter.

Well apparently those racist, chauvinist douche bags aren't racist or chauvinist at all. Turns out Borat got them drunk and it was the booze that magically transformed these kids into complete asses. For the record, they should have had second thoughts when Borat handed them bottles of Laughing Nazi Whisky and Spousal Abuse Vodka, don't you think?

Seriously though, now the poor d-bags are suing the production company behind Borat, claiming they signed the release forms after "heavy drinking," and they're asking for unspecified damages because they suffered "humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community..."

Good luck you poor, helpless frat dudes and God speed. Go get that jerk Borat who exposed your deep seeded racism and sexual insecurities to the world. Oh, and watch out for Date Rape Cola... I hear that stuff has some pretty serious side effects (especially if you drink it while eating Pop Rocks).

Ya Mama

We've been doing the running 'yo momma' jokes at work lately. It was mentioned one day, that we never want to meet each others' mothers because this whole 'yo momma' fun would just become very awkward... which is something that I never really thought about, but come to think of is so very true.

In my younger days I was hanging out with good friends doing the usual and getting smashed up. Friends whose mothers I knew, by the way. And in normal fashion, one of my friends made some sort of diss directed at me. I'm not good with those quick and witty comebacks so I used what any caught-off-guard bystander of verbal heat would use. The generic, "Yo momma!" And there it was, that awkward piercing uncomfortable feeling.

[mp3] The Pharcyde - Ya Mama

Wet My Cottontail

At work there's this junk-left-over-hand-me-down-poopoo CDs bin, which we sometimes rummage. The office gets some pretty good stuff, so sometimes the left-over bin is not so bad, but most of time... the bin holds true to it's name. I can't exactly remember the names of all the bad stuff, but it's something like "Star Wars Goes Disco" or "Alf Remakes Montavani Classics and Eats Cats" or something like that. No, I'm serious. So recently I was pretty excited to find these two fine and random selections. So choice...

I hate you kevin.

Here's to you and your "Hey look at me --I'm a badass!!" attitude. Good move. She was hot. In someways I can't blame you. It's hard to shine in a shadow. It's just too bad she thanked you for your sperm and divorced you today. Didn't you know that all you had to do was keep dancing and shut your mouth?

Institute for Advanced Personhood

Perusing Dork Mag, I ran across a sorta funny sideproject from Demetri Martin (The Daily Show), which promotes Windows Vista.

"You should, by the way, never tattoo a fish. Even if it is possible. Like, it's just not a cool thing to do.

I have this problem I really wanna put stickers on turtles and I know I shouldn't, but they're just so perfect for it. You know? Just like, if you saw a band name on a turtle in the wild, you'd be like, 'wow, these guys are big.'"

-Demetri Martin

If anything, the webisodes look neat are are pretty entertaining. Looks Wes Anderson-esque. Webisode 1 is below, but webisode 2 is on Clearification now. Be a person of advanced personhood and see for yourself...

p.s. I really like the Burrito, Chocolate Frog, and Sober segments too. Actually, I really like all of them.
