In addition to being a Dj, twentytwenty is a brother. His sister Kim is a gas, a straight shootin goofy good dame-a-lam-a-dingdong. She plays voice and guitar in a Tinsletown two-piece called Eagle and Talon, that receive my pattented "Bandswatch" as a band to watch.

EAGLE AND TALON - THEY'RE SO SHARP (snippet)


In a few years when they're both stars you can read my erudite but phlegmatic analysis of the musical personas of these siblings in something like Nylon or the wall of the third stall on the left of Norrie Mcentyre's Fish Farm and Mortuary, Falcon Beach, Manitoba, Canada. After all, who isn't a sucker for a brother sister combo with chops to go.



BBQ'S RIGHT ARM RECORDS: INSTALLMENT 1

Before being a monk, an islamist, supposed Rushdie hater and banned in the USA, Cat Stevens and made this:

"Tea For The Tillerman" by Cat Stevens (buy)


On blast like Slayer in Guantanamo. This album should receive a commendation from the Worldwide Psychiatrists Guild for all the bad trips it must've righted before the mind fled.

BUT I MIGHT DIE TONIGHT - CAT STEVENS

The Tea Bowls sequence in Shorty's Fulfill The Dream, set to "Why Do The Children Play", is one of the best bits of skateboard filmaking ever.

WHY DO THE CHILDREN PLAY? - CAT STEVENS

SKATE DIGRESSION

This video illuminated much about hip hop that I didn't fully understand, and came along at a crucial time in my development, where Punk Rock and Metal could've had me forever.

Here's the opening sequence, which caused Sudermann to walk around all summer belting out "We came her tonight to get started, to cold act ill or get retarded!"



Here's Aaron Snyder's stellar debut:



Peter Smolik's shocking imtroduction to the world (poorly de-interlaced fanatics only:



This video had a great deal of influence on the widespread popularity of tech skateboarding and little kid teams.

Muska's Epic Work:

This is what Muska was aiming for, The Gonz, Video Days:

Of course, Brodieman:



All the respect in the world to Spike Jonze who directed "Video Days."

A few of the best TV Commercials ever:





Two of the best movies ever:

Blonde Bombshell

RIP Anna Nicole Smith, a lady that I stopped thinking about years ago. Apparent suicide/overdose. Same old song.


She was one of the first pretty girls I ever downloaded a picture of. The internet owes a lot of early popularity to Anna Nicole Smith.

DJ BOOMAN - WATCH OUT FOR THE BIG GIRL

It's very easy to get lost in the self determined webworld, and forget that the majority of people actively concerned with "culture" consume the easiest available and palateable forms. Without them, we wouldn't have The Aviator, Sinatra or The Beastie Boys. But while we're enjoying art in all of it's pop, boom and glory, most people just want something that is cruel involving celebrities. Anna Nicole didn't leave any signifigant "work" behind, as her art was the art of American tabloid celebrity, and as annoying and infinite as it is, the concession is that it's disposable.

Anna Nicole Smith was gorgeous woman. I would be lying if I said that's the only way I will remember her.

OUTKAST - HOLLYWOOD DIVORCE (feat Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne)


Damn girl, don't hurt em'



"This atrocious death will be a terrible lesson for those whose principal occupation consists in spying on and tormenting the film stars."
Jean Cocteau on Marilyn Monroe



Marilyn Monroe is incomparable. Her death was important. She still defines sex, and legions of hack actresses have had fruitful careers because they have a flake of her photogeneity. Anna Nicole Smith can't be compared to Marilyn in any way except her hair colour, tragic death and the fact that Marilyn Monroe was a massive part of what we knew Anna Nicole Smith to be. In terms of the late Ms. Smith, Marilyn influenced how we shot her, coloured her, treated her, cut her, and how she will be remembered.

THE ONLY ONES - ANOTHER GIRL, ANOTHER PLANET

It's no different today than it was fifty years ago, the fans of a star want them to lose love, fail at work, and do a press conference on too many pills. Maybe that's why some celebrities decide to take too many.



It's just a shame when stars of whatever magnitude melt under their own shine and the public's burning adoration, interest and jealousy.



Enough death, tomorrow I'll put up a mix by Twentytwenty called "40 Minutes of Fun."

PS: Yes we did

We Live In A Magic Kingdom

I can give you what you want.
I can make your heart beat short.
I can make you ice cream
We could be a sweet team
Melting in your vice dreams, sport.
-The New Young Pony Club "Ice Cream"

Like Michael Jackson, Barry Bonds and bong hits, Vice Magazine take a lot of sour raspberries and sanctimonious flak from people pretending that they didn't once love them.

Lately, Vice has been like a childhood best friend with a rabid wolverine in their brain and insurmountable physical dependencies. The experiences range from awesome to horrific, but you're always glad to have them hanging out in your bathroom or on your coffee table for a few weeks.

Two days ago, Vice went over the internet's head, raised the bar, turned it into a real bar, opened the bar, and declared "hooch on the house, we NEVER close." They don't mix drinks, but points of view channelled through their skilled coterie of pros, hos, closers, clothes horses, and trouble for their nosers. In a more committed rhyme, it's those that chose the road less glorious, but more notorious. All I'm saying is: Lance Bangs, Metal In Iraq, Eugene Merman, David Cross...and it just started.

The Youtube trazillionaires didn't get their youtubes tied, but that little rag from Montreal just cooked up a baby in their lab, and it's coming out smoking. Click the link below to taste the waste.

My Cousin just registered me with a facebook account, undershooting my age by a few years (Class of 02' Stand Up) Here's dancy nostalgia by Certified Bananas to the lovely ladies and little punks that comprise the youth resurgence in my family, oh yeah and any of the other googleplexes of people that saw The Little Mermaid.

CERTIFIED BANANAS - KISS THE GIRL

On the Deez-Ney/Mouse/Canadian Left Wing tip: Torture expert and neck snapist Jack Bauer introducing a famous Canadian Socialist cartoon. Did he order the code red? You're goddamn right he did!



While you're ruminating on Mouseland (and the fact that Jack Bauer/Lt. Kendrick is Canadian), here's a kick axe techno hipsterockedisco tune that references TV's 24.



TERRY POISON - 24 HOURS

If the tunes are too girly for some of you, my apologies, they're primarily for kids this cute:



Back to Bananas, Peanut Butter and Banana absolutely schools Peanut Butter and Jam. I used to have a video editing station next to a British girl who said that Bananas "Smelled like medicine." PB&B in the AM, smells like victory to me.

PS: Dumbo size scratch behind the eras to Aurgasm Palms Out and Crossing State Lines for putting the songs up.

Now it's time to bring out the headliners, they've been on top of the pops, they've been on "This Evening with Nigel Craze", they were voted "Indiest indies" on MNE.co.uk, now...here they are...the hottest band in all the land:

English Gloom!!!!!

KLAXONS - GOLDEN SKANS (Erol Alkan Dub)

I don't know why, but I like the Klaxons way more without the vocals. Did I break some rule with that? Current coolness arbiters, don't take away my "c pass", I still want to go to shows and wear shoes with holes in them without cute girls telling me I'm "dressed like a tramp".

This instrumental is already hiring a crack team of defense lawyers for the case of "Currently Fourteen Year Old's Spines and Brains vs The New Rave Movement."

Damn babylon barristration can't even spell "Nu" correctly.

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN - KINGDOM OF DOOM

This jam is real. I felt that the last Gorillaz record was a "9 PM er", this all star circus of tsunami TGTBATQ (I could't resist), is a "Nine AM er."

BILLY BRAGG - A NEW ENGLAND

Thumbs up for theme songs, thumbs up for right now.
