Smokes Outside In The Cold Makes Me Lightheaded


Apparently Nick Catchdubs does a twelve days of Christmas rundown. It's times like this that I'm glad I only look Jewish. Go to SAINT NICK CATCHDUBS.COM Nick is one of the gnarliest web rippers and a kick axe radio and outside of the radio dj. For more on him, check my year end picks after the wholly days...because boy did he go to town in a handbasket on "Hustlin."

So I promised no Christmas blogposts until the Dec 20's, but first Catch...
then Who Needs Radio did a tidy little mix that includes many of the best Christmas songs that you can listen to any time. Even when you aren't getting amped to celebrate the birth of Jesus and cut the kitschy green and red bandana off of your dog. No Sarah, I am not just shouting this blog out because the girl who runs it is really cute...You're Jewish Sarah, you know nothing about Christmas...I don't care if you're stepdad is goyem. That's your Mom's business.

I've got to get my Wassle on, pump some yuletide in my headphones and get all Belmont with a Pilsner.

Oh yeah...I'm in Canada...this makes me think of Christmas

Get Out Of The City!



I was going to go to sleep, but then a well cut edition of The Stencil took my head from the trailers preceeding dreamberg (and 20 pages of french monkeys, diamonds and horny unemployed female stock brokers) with a website that contains the following rantastic blusterfuck:

"He refuses to work, claiming that he was in some sort of accident that ruined his hands. Funny, they seem to be able to open a beer can, open a cigarette pack, operate the television remote, etc. Then he claims his heart stopped. So I'm supposed to feel sorry for him for that?"

or...
"I am angry at my stupid fat dumb bitch of a roommate and her 3 cats that terrorize my boyfriends cat so bad it pissed in my sneakers and took a shit on my purse. but she wont do anything about it because shes to busy smoking dope and "takeing care" of these 16 month old twins that aren't even hers"


Luckily my roomates are world class dudes with potential for selection for galactic class when the time comes.


I'll be in Canada for nearly a month starting Wednesday, blogging at fireside (you'll see). In the meantime, my new roomate, Bomber aka Shoe Bomb aka Bombzilla aka Bomb Diggity aka Mukluk aka Shoehatchi aka King Richard The Lionhearted (non racist) Of Africa City will be pounding this tune:

Cee Lo feat Ludacris - Childz Play

With this, and these...

While I'm drinking this and smoking these...

Prolly jamming out to
The Blow - Fists Up and
Cee Lo - Gettin Grown

Because whether your on Vancouver Island, South London or Winnipeg, in the world we live in Cee Lo is Santa Claus.

Hey Santa, all I want for Christmas is Happy Hour?


If my roomates and I are in Dead Man On Campus, I'm O'Malley, irrefutably O'Malley.


The Wiz, will be in Winnipeg...he will be immersed in freezing cold joyful comfort, a grounding display of past present and future.

But I have a feeling he'll be listening to a lot of:

Van Morrison - Ballerina

Seriously, visit my hometown it's cold chillin, or if you prefer chillaxing. It's up to you, the New World is what you want it to be. Unlike the bears, who remain...exactly who we thought they were.



My year end lists and all such nonsense accompanied by the usual non-sequiturs will be fun while on holiday. That and watching this with her. If Grandma still has a VHS...or not.

So, I'm British Columbia bound, which means more than cheering for the Canucks, Mariners and Seahawks and being able to sleep at night.

Speaking of sleep at night.

Full Of Magic Beans To The Rim, errr. My Boy Schimmer


Happiest of barely belated birthday wishes to bigger than bigger than big homie The Presently Unamed But Basically Famous Dj Schimmer. He's the cats pj's fresh out the dryer, slipped on with no delay as you have potato skins for breakfast. There's only one dude like this, catch up or...well...who cares...Is it possible to be the most fun, but still sane enough to finish parties well, a top jam selecta, a lady killer (not literally), in every parent's top five and one brick shithouse of a moviegoer...yeah...if your name is Schimmer

It happens.

Right back at you bro.

Kramer Vs Kramer

Michael Richards appears on Letterman to explain himself.



At least he's promised to "get to the forcefield of hostility" and sort out the "rage in all of us." That's like being caught jacking off in the back row of "A Cinderella Story" and pledging to "reconcile the essence of youth" and deal with the "not being able to find the mall toilet" in all of us.

Enough of this...I hope.

Hey, I bet this is going to be hilarious:



After all, THIS always is, and Melvin Goes To Dinner is one of the best directorial debuts ever made. A "de-beauty", one you might say. I'm not sure who.

Some tech issues in tonight's show, but no excuses. I'm a bit of a heel. Note to aspiring radio Dj's, downloading songs soon before your show juices the odds of a blunder.

Gnaw The Ledge



I promised on the radio last week that I was going to blog an analysis of KRS one's antics at Stanford. All I can say is this:

When KRS one says he is hip hop, he is telling the truth. If you don't beleive either of us, or you are a cynical hipster who only listens to Trillville and only to learn slang, see what an MC actually is. You will learn.



If you know and you understand, see P Little's brilliance:



KRS puts on the best live hip hop performance that I've ever seen, and I saw him when he was OLD



These folks will fill you in on what took place at Stanford, news wise: Coolfer's Report

Here's my little shredited hat in the ring:

KRSee (aka KRS is the Real Hip Hop and Still Number One) - BBQ

It's too bad that to dumb people, he will come off as some ignorant rapper, but those people are dumb, and knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everybody.

Hip Hop is something you live.

Tonight's show is going to be so big that it will be distracting astronauts.

"This was a weird, bad and disturbing weekend"

Dj TEARIN T in regarding Novermber 17th-19th 2006.

Tearin T was playing at a rave (UKspeak for Dj'ed party/club night) that got raided by the police and shut down. Not an illegal rave, not a warehouse squat, an evening of music, revlery and dancing in a fully accredited venue. In England, garage and house music are considered "black" music. As a result, the cops have been cracking down on parties in South London that cater to such crowds. As a South London resident and Dj, I think it's rotten baloney and un kosher racist insanity. If somebody gets shot or stabbed, close a club, make arrests, be on TV, if not...let the kids dance.

I hate cops as much as the next carrier of contraband, skateboarder and loud house party loving dipsomaniac...but don't do THIS. Although at first I read the line "Officer suffers severe finger" which is very close to my hand and heart. But no, he had to get a "severed" finger.

Here's a mix that Tearin T threw down on Monday as a response:

T STANDS AGAINST TROUBLE

Now...into the other bit of racist insanity, and the inspiration for this post's clevertastic title.

Michael Richards aka Cosmo Kramer aka STANLEY SPADOWSKI aka did this:



My first comment was that it never would have gone down like that if DARREN was there.

It was sick, sad and horrible. Doug Stanhope once dropped a half dozen stock comebacks on a heckler, punctuating each with, "I can go all fucking day asshole." I would tell Richards to take notes, if I was confident that he will work again.

That being said...well...he was amazing in his prime...so as Homer Simpson said about sideshow Bob's numerous attempts to murder his son: "What I'll mostly remember is the laughter." The key word, being mostly.

So, good night you hilarious, brilliant, backwards thinking, weak, foolish disgrace:



Why Don't You Just Tell Me The Name Of The Youtube You Want To See?

A Lily, A Pony and A Race Worth Watching



Lily Allen
The New Young Pony Club
In The Astoria
November 7th 06

For those that don't or barely know who Lily Allen is, she's the Mark Ronson produced (sorry UK heads for the backstory, but I aint from here) INTERNET PROGENY. Yes, The New Young Pony Club are a consort of English ponies, currently fighting for their freedom from television program and small horse doll powerhouse My Little Pony, and their affiliated footwear "Brother Company"...dubbed simply Pony. The gang I saw are one of Britain's FUNNEST BANDS. People are already going buckwild for their gust of alright and woah woe. It's going to get pretty fun in front of these performers when they actually have an album out. Presumably, their debut LP's release has been delayed due to fear of the potential for confusion with the equine group of the same name. Still though, you can already hear critics gushing, girls giggling as their bums get the boogie bedbugs and bounce begins, and the wump wump rocking out to flocks of ears. Good things just work. But enough about that. I think I hear the ill-literation police siren going BEEE GEEE and I don't have my license on me.

Being chased by the NYPC: When these ponies leave the stable saddled with Modular records well oiled tack the will trot the trail until they gallop with a herd of fans across the ponderosa of popularity and partying down. Tee hee. Blog or WHAT!

Meanwhile, away from the ranch...and back at the Astoria

It's one mothertruckstop of a room, but it needs saving. In my hometown we just trade THE NAME of our hallowed, historic and haunting performance venues to this guy:

So they can be called THIS

On second thought...try this: Save The Astoria

So, Lily Allen performed last night, the kids cheered audibly at the end of songs. So the point is not that for a few minutes at a time, strangers may thought I was a celebrity, as I was there in a party context, preferring to save my journalism for dessert. By which I mean that I met two young Lily fans who had snuck into the posh dentist's office of a hotel lobby, and they wanted me to "break the ice" so that they could approach as journalists. They chickened out, Lily and I chatted, I probably would've given her more of a boost after the lackluster audience at the Astoria, but she has friends that accompany her, peppering compliments and ignoring it when she puts cigarettes out on hotel carpets. Far out, but who am I to sit around putting mustard in that malibu. The hardest I cheered was when she sang "I'm trying to make a move just to stay in the game." Which I first heard on a great radio show that you can tune into here Authentic Shit.

If Lily's really trying to make moves to stay in the game, in all pathetic unecessary sincerity, during the fast songs she needs this behind her:

No offense Ms. Allen, but sometimes you gotta get purple if you wanna wear the gold. Not necessarily Cheerleaders, but some sort of physical chorus...you know for strophes.

Due to Lily's song content often being about a young woman's need for love and mistakes in the pursuit of finding fellas...during the slow songs, she needs these dudes behind her:

Enough about Lily, she's got skills, she's shining bright like jewellery, and all that, but stages are big, they need filling. Standing alone like a young Queen in a lonely castle is a tough gig for those big rooms. I don't think it's out of line suggesting Laker Girls and Seven Dwarves, especially if you follow the New Young Pony Club.

However, she got where she is by blowing the top off of the best LONDON PARTY DUNGEON. Tip of the hat rack to that whole crew for the service they're doing Done Town, emptying the meatrack round the bend from where Madonna houses children and writer/directors. Especially if you like the raps, you'll dig yoyo.

Meanwhile back at the ranch:

The girls were taking over like it was the rubber rose, and getting TWO BIG THUMBS UP from this "chinky eyed snotnose."

The New Young Pony Club have very talented guys in the band, but check this out:

"smoldering seductress frontwoman"



"Hopping but bored cute cubed keyboard girl"



"Stunna Drummer Not Pictured" (Awww hell, she sits at the back and gets overshadowed by Bonanza and Jellybean up front, but keeps groove flowing and is just as pretty)

Great fun, good people, don't believe me...floss your eyes with this:



GET UP AND RIDE YOUR...

From the multi-coloured Pony ice cream, to another continent of dairy PRODUCTS the red elephants:



and the blue donkeys:



America votes today, and as I have to say several times daily in the Old World, I'm not from America. I'm from here:



Anywhooo

American's (like most Western states {not to confused with the awesomeWestern States}nation states too, not just US states) have been royally cocking up recent elections. Today I found solace in the midst of worry in a mix by champions The Illegible Dj Caps and Pandemonium Jones

This is a fair bit of ol fashioned American splainin' through bricolage ("neeerrrd") Aka: Bouillabaisse Track 3

On the political commentary tip, there's a few key seats in the Senate worthy of competing with commentary on cute girls who play music.

SEAT 1: OHIO



I don't know if the worldwide readership of this lustrous publication remember, but Ohio really blew it last election. They were an important swing state who's idiocy resulted in American soldiers cut loose by their government would be choking to death on oil soaked rags instead of ketchup sodden options.

SEAT 2: TENNESSE



Ford (D) Vs Corker (R). Ford will be the first black senator elected in the south.



The Coup Feat Black Thought and Talib Kweli - My Favourite Mutiny -



SEAT 3: VIRGINIA

This is Allen (R) vs Webb (D). The most interesting parts are that Allen referred to a member of his opponent's staff as "Macaca" a racist term for a "presumed terrorist" or "individual of Islamic or Middle Eastern descent." Also, he learned during the campaign that his mother had been hiding her Jewish heritage, and his Dad used to coach the Washington Redskins. Some angry Buffalo Bills fan put an evil on this Republican, let's hope he doesn't win.

Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours

We'll see when I wake up tomorrow. I've never said this before, but "Gooooo Yankees." Hopefully it doesn't come to this for a while:



The only issue is, who the hell are these Democrats anyway? Can they provide Democracy, walk it like they talk it and do they have game. Fingers crossed.

From Tek 9 to Nine Lives: A Big Wednesday



No show last night as we reset at Live FM, studios. Instead of jamming out signals, I was up North at the Roundhouse jamming, and watching this woman:

Do This:

When I saw her eatlier this year, in The Barbican (not some sort of castle enchanted with evil misfit toys), I was fifteen feet away. These albums are unbeleivably good: The Greatest and You Are Free

Last night Cat Power got reserved London hands out of cozy London pockets. Even the most dteached of hipsters had to be at least a little moved. On what was one of the coldest days of the autumn, We the girl's presence, band, voice, and jokes and explosions of magic. Anyone with an interest in women, performance or music should really give her a chance. Here's a scene from the show "CP" being Cat Power and "A" being audience.

CP: I'm in negotiations with Matador my record label, so they got me some really posh tea.

A: That's the stuff!

CP: Did somebody just say Mazeltov?

A: (Scattered laughter)

CP: What is there an angry German in here?

A: (Larger groups of scattered laughter)

CP: A German?

A: (Scattered laughter, guffawing blogmaker)

CP: Hey...I'm just kidding...

Watch this urban music promo that starts at 1:48 of the youtube. It's hyphier than sippin on a hyphy juice slizurpee runnin a coup d'etat from a Coup Deville:

I like that the IN-D hosts are kind enough to remind us "pretty girls make graves", it's good preparation for Cat Power. On video even.
