The Cornerstore and a Buttered Roll



Tony Starks wants to know why you didn't buy his album. He offers a plan for redemption:

"Snap that up"

Leads to

"Goosing"

and

"Have a pow-wow"




There is a certain adjective for those that are Ghostface's clientele.

Honky Grandma Be Trippin (On the Wire)



When not checking my bookmarks and changing my files to Divshare (Zshare we may forgive, but we never forget, everything’s CHANGED), I’ve been catching up on The Wire.

Then this little blip crossed the newslines:

FBI loses wiretaps due to unpaid phone bills

The Wire, is a TV show about Baltimore. It’s also about life. It’s amazing. It's pretty big on the internet, but Canadians by and large are unaware of its greatness. Winnipeg's own Tuxedo Sports Fans know all about it, but for the rest of you, here are some video clips to help you get all Laidlaw with it:

But first, songs with some tenuous link to The Wire:



WU TANG CLAN - Take it Back



KW GRIFF - Tony's Back



WALE - Eye No DC

Co-operation From Computers



Picture a futuristic world where artists, who although visionary, true and real, that aren't normally Dj'ed into mixtapes...suddenly...were...

Wouldn't that be great?

On this fabled mixtape, many artists featured are the sort that you would've previously been ridiculed for not owning, when you sheepishly asked in a record store. In this future, they will be given to you, in December, by an expert through a computer:

This movie is amazing:

Trip Tick




Note to travellers, when away from home leave all your CD's at your parents house. I did not, and now British and Canadian burocrats are holding them up at the port of Toronto because of "paperwork protocol changes."

MP3 players are shiny, but they do not play in CD players.

So when I want to drive in the car, I'm living with the three CD's that I have in the house. Here are my three favourite songs off each.



WEEN - With My Own Bare Hands

WEEN - Learnin to Love

WEEN - The Fruit Man

Gnarls Barkley doesn't like to make a lot of appearances, but his travelling band has a really great singer, Draculo is his name, he's from Atlanta, and he's the best rapper alive.



Nice cover, Gnarls Barkley graduated with high marks from the Professor Murder Institute for great artwork. If you already have these songs, bear in mind, I ripped really high quality versions, cause I'm Santa like that.

GNARLS BARKLEY - Crazy

GNARLS BARKLEY - The Boogie Monster

GNARLS BARKLEY - Just a Thought



Picking three was difficult, but I do enjoy three the hard way.

BEASTIE BOYS - The Move


BEASTIE BOYS - I Don't Know

BEASTIE BOYS - Dr. Lee, Phd


Watch this space, I'm off to the mack mainland for the weekend. There's all kinds of craziness to come Diplo/Paserock!!! Ronson/Eli/Wale!!! Music!!!

Gotta catch a Ferry

This is Hello



After nearly a month of being a certified hobo, I have a home again. That means we're back at Grilling It. Apres this, le deluge, but here's the funniest item in the history of the internet to get the faithful and users of google.com/reader warmed up.

Click the white box.



This is how I feel about the absence. Gold star to Apt One

It's a Pilgrimage, Dude



It's thanksgiving for Canadians. I'm going home for a rest.

Here are some bits from the movie Rio Bravo, where John Wayne says "Dude" way more often than he says "Pilgrim."

Steely Dan - Peg






Apparently "Rio Bravo" is a livestock breeding facility. The thumbnail of the image below look suspiciously like the Shootsie Muffin, a troublesome breed of Rotweiler that nearly derailed Rotweilering altogether.



Angie Dickinson as "Feathers" is the oasis of the bonerderosa.

The wall of hate and intollerance that I built to keep the Animal Collective out has been toppled. By afformentioned collective.

"I prefer peace.
Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession.
But essentially I'm an animal,
so just what do I do, with all the aggression?"
Gnarls Barkley

Hunter S. Thompson
