Calvin Johnson

Hey great to see the blawgg pound in hot action over the past 24 hours. I will read them all in just a moment! In the meantime here's a post I hope to edit and add some commentary, but not till I have time in the next couple days... Calvin Johnson speaking with Ian Svenonius on VBS.

I'll Find You, And I'll Kill You

I'm currently writing a review of the latest Chad Vangaalen album Soft Airplane, which came out on Sub Pop Records early last month. I'm not usually a fan of singer/song writer types, but this guy crosses some essential boundaries that make him different from the Jason Mraz, Jose Gonzalez, Aqualung or whatever other douche dicks I don't ever need to hear. First off, he's more like Andrew Broder and the early formation of Fog, in that he is just a one man bedroom recording artist who disregards the notion that songs need to be radio friendly, pop, or even set to a verse-chorus-verse arrangement. But the thing I like best about this guy is that he tells these stories that are so sick and disturbing that they could make you gag, but he sings them with such a sweet, almost crying, falsetto that it somehow just seems human, and not at all disgusting.

Here is a video for a song from his latest album. He also did the drawings and animation by himself too.

All mah diggers

I stumbled onto this trove of tuneful treasures in my wanderings of the hinternetlands. Mostly chopped up loops of songs of the Diplo AEIOU sort. But with the track lists and soulseek, you can while away many an hour.

Lordy's create mix

Early Youth Impressions

I picked up the (digital) soundtrack to the Rankin/Bass 1977 animated Hobbit. Some songs still pop up in my memory unprompted so I had to dig it up. Here are two that are GREAT. Glenn Yarbrough.

Kent's Cut of the Week

I get a "Much Too Much" feel from this one. Love the production.

Kano - Dance School

Best thing I've ever seen?

R.I.P. R.R.M.

The Human Tornado spins no more: Rudy Ray Moore dies at age 81.

Man I remember cracking the fuck up to these terrible movies (which all seem to have multiple incorrect permutations of their titles) in high school:

Dolemite.
The Avenging Disco God father.
Petey Wheatstraw, Son in Law of the Devil.

Remember this scene from Dolemite?!
Matt, don't you have a Rudy Ray Moore DVD boxset? Remember that scene when Rudy's doing his thing at the comedy club and the big-glasses-smooshed-face brother gets salty about his fat girlfriend getting cracked on? I forget what he says but boy do I remember your impression of it.
================== EDIT ===================
And holy shit I found it...hahahahah

That casual and matter-of-fact way he says "shut-up." Golden.

Can You See The Upside?

Alright guys, get your thinking caps on. It is now 100% obvious how easy the internet is.

Upside Down Dogs!!!

Young & Company - Is It Good To You

Pipe Wrench Fight

Stick with this the first 40 seconds or so, it's worth it.
Reminds me of how awesome that video really was though!

He's....an Arab...He's not?

Ohh man, this is just awesome. There has been some backlash from the Obama/Ayers connection that has recently gotten out of control at Palin rallies. It has been reported that people have shouted out "kill him" "teason" and other various racial/terrorist related chants. Anywho, McCain tried to dial it down a notch today and there are some real gems in here. My personal favorite is the Cat Lady at the end.



The ultra-conservative article/site I pulled it from if your interested.

Kent's Cut of the Week

This little disco Space Jam soothes the soul...

Asha Puthli - Space Talk

2800 Bullittsburg Church Rd

I have been doing some gigs for Red Bull lately. Namely a "Flugtag" in Chicago and a Soapbox Derby in Cincinnati. Its all been a bit overwhelming - i.e. I played to 85,000 people at the Chicago show. Aside from the "holy shit this is a lot of people" vibe I get when playing, it has been really super kewwwwl. Presidential Suites, free flights, limos, Patron, Steaks, Mini Dirt Bikes and Celebrities.





















Annnnyway, I was in Cincinnati this past weekend. Which, unbeknownst to me, is basically Kentucky and totally boring. So, while wandering around downtown Cincinnati I came across a flyer for the Creation Museum. None other than the one I read about just over a year ago here. I quickly grabbed my bags, flagged a cab and headed to 2800 Bullittsburgh Church Rd, Petersburg, Kentucky.






















Following the "bomb inspection" of my gear by an intimidating State Trooper and his equally intimidating German Shepherd I was led inside. (side note: I was the only person they searched) The "greeter", being from Minnesota, gave me a guest discount - $24 savings whoop whoop! The tour took me about an hour and a half to complete and was full of "GUH?!" moments. Obviously. After the first couple rooms I stop reading about how Evolution is a myth blah blah blah and God's Word is truth meh meh meh.

















































The way they market this thing is really weird. It is supposed to be a Natural History Museum from a Christian perspective, but 85% of the tour is the story of Adam and Eve. Also, this thing is completely state-of-the-art. Flat Screens, Crazy lighting, Special effects and animatronics. Oh, BTW dudes, Adam was cut!























Everyone was super fat, enthusiastically taking prayer breaks, drinking big gulps and really really nice. Seriously. When my cab to the airport failed to show, one of the employees gave me a ride to the airport. Thanks Mayne! When I got in the van the Bible was sitting shotgun.

Had me LOLerizing

Plus it's got RamJam on the mic! ha.

Grab This Thing

I got this on CD a while back, but it took me a while to put it up. It's a Diplo mixtape showcasing Santogold. It's nice. I especially like the Clash samples, and the part where they use Black Flag's "Six Pack", and Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles". Also, Amanda Blank's "I Need Love" mixed into Sir Mix-a-lot's "Posse On Broadway". Very Nice.
The thing is a little too big to send as a whole, so I cut it up into two parts. They should go back to back. Enjoy!
