Lessondary Radio - The BSP Show: Episode 005, Version One Mo'Gin.

i just reupped the last episode of the BSP show cause it last went up the day that podomatic decided to go crazy. so if you ain't get to hear it then you should check it out and if you did get the chance to hear it then you should check it out anyway. i'll be back next week with a new episode for all 4 of my listeners.

anyway ..
go over there to the player on the right and hit play.

yay!

rsvp. rsvp. rsvp. rsvp.

get on it, rsvp before 5pm today and getcho ass to the party.
arrive early cause tillman's ain't but so big.

oh and there'll be a live performance!

currently reading.

so about a week and a half ago Bella brought home the latest vanity fair, which i love, but of course i didn't get my hands on it till a couple of days ago because she was using it as her commute entertainment. but after the rapper invasion (photos coming soon) of our apartment on friday i read the serge gainsbourg article, i finished reading the lou pearlman article this evening and i've already started on the clinton/gore article. so far this issue is pretty damn amazing.
the serge gainsbourg article is basically a tour through his home (which no one, outside of family, has seen the insides of since his death in 1991) and it includes words from daughter charlotte, jane birkin and many others. the lou pearlman piece is crazy. of course, it touches on the hundreds of millions of dollars that pearlman embezzled and it delves into the inappropriate/sexual relationships that pearlman had with his boy band members. the clinton/gore write-up is just as interesting as it speaks on the tension between the clinton and gore families that led to bill and al's relationship falling apart.
aside from those i have yet to read the camelot piece that was taken from the journals of arthur schlesinger which is accompanied by never before published photos of jfk and jackie o with their kids, taken by richard avedon. i also haven't read the articles on u.s. war profiteers, eric clapton on the death of his son, pink floyd's syd barret, and the piece on stage mothers of paris, britney & lindsey (i think that's gonna be my next read cause it seems like the mothers get torn a new ass in that article).
so um yeah .. i guess this whole entry is just an endorsement. all 3 of yall that read my blog need to go out and get this issue cus it's pretty damn dope.

ugh.

being under the influence can lead to bad decisions.

sundays ain't the same.

i've been sitting here watching the giants/niners game and the cowboys/vikings game and i miss watching my favorite football player of all time.

here's to you barry.

my new favorite place on earf ..

is called freeman's sporting club.

she said it better so go read it.

the darjeeling limited.

the thing i've always loved about wes anderson more than anything has been his ability to make me care about his quirky, detached from reality, and sometime asshole characters. whether it was steve zissou, royal tenenbaum, dignan or max & herman i always had a vested interest in the characters. i wanted steve's relationship with ned to grow. i wanted royal to find a place of comfort and understanding with his family. i wanted dignan to not be an idiot while still remaining his idiotic self (if that makes sense to anyone) and i really wanted max & herman to not kill one another but to come close .. you know, for the enjoyment of the audience (and by audience i mean me).
but in darjeeling i never really cared about the whitman brothers. i had a small interest in jack after seeing hotel chevalier but that vanished after the first few scenes. i mean yeah, the whitman's definitely had back stories. i got the whole jack/ex-girlfriend thing. i got the whole peter marriage/baby thing. i got the whole francis bandage/possible suicide/controlling thing. i also got the whole luggage thing (hitting us over the head there, wes?) but at no point did i care about any of it.
maybe i had some expectations that were a bit off. the original story that i'd read about a year ago was so damn lively. three brothers on an spiritual adventure to find the soul of their father who they believed had been reincarnated into a wild tiger who just so happened to be terrorizing the village where their mother lived. oh and bill murray was along for the ride as their tour guide. so maybe i set myself up for the let down by expecting something totally different. but then again, it became pretty obvious before the release of darjeeling that the film wasn't going to be following that storyline so yeah .. scratch that expectations bit.
i guess that for whatever reason i just couldn't make a connection with any of the characters and without that a movie will usually do nothing for me. i mean shit, i even cared about bow wow in fast & the furious: tokyo drift! granted, i cared about how horrific his death scene would be but whatever (boy was i disappointed when he lived .. that was my only reason for watching that damn movie!).
all in all, the movie was shot beautifully and i can't say anything bad about owen wilson, adrien brody or jason schwartzman's performances. i just wish the story had pulled me in a bit more. but the end of the day i don't put it as a strike to wes anderson, no matter how much i've loved a number of directors no one has ever made a great movie every time out. so regardless of how i feel about darjeeling, i'm still definitely looking forward to the fantastic mr fox in 2009.

radiohead - in rainbows

are the days of the major label dead? yeah, they are .. at least that's the way radiohead is acting. they've released their new album, in rainbows, on their website for the lovely price of $whatever.youwant without a major label. i've talked to a few friends that work in the major label world and it doesn't seem like the the majors are too happy. one head of a&r said "this cheapens the music." why would they be happy, tho? giving away music and showing that the major labels aren't needed isn't what they want. nine inch nails, oasis and jamiroquai are supposedly joining in on the fun.
of course, it works because of the huge following that bands like radiohead have but i think its just one step in turning the industry on its head. nowadays no one but the majors make money off record sales and being that those are at an all time low its only a matter of time before they either fall apart or reintroduce artist development and some fair play into the equation.
either way, kudos to radiohead fro understanding the new climate. the music is the new business card .. learn how to circulate it and the touring, merch, etc will all fall into place. i'll be supporting what i hope is a new trend. y'all should too.



ps - yeah i didn't pay a penny for the new radiohead album but best believe i am going to drop the $80 for the boxset.

humans be hating yo.

so i was just watching independence day and remember when randy quaid volunteers to fly during the final air attack?
during the briefing he says ..
"i'd also like to add .. ever since aliens kidnapped me 10 years ago i've been waiting to get my revenge"
and everyone around him rolls their eyes and gives him the "this fool is crazy" look.
like wtf is their problem yo ..
fools are about to fly and attack aliens that have just vaporized all the major cities in the world ..
and they're giving HIM attitude like he's lying??
what thee fuck??
humans be hating yo.

i feel you randy.



this post was dedicated to brook.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Bella sent me this link and i've seen it a few times .. kinda trynna let it sink in but i can't lie .. something about the trailer kinda throws me off. that being said, i can't help but be interested just cause it's depp & burton.



i've heard of the original musical but i've never seen it or heard much about it. regardless, this is definitely gonna be one of the films i see this winter. matter fact, i think i'm gonna have to start putting together a list of movies i need to see this fall/winter.

this cat is something else.

word.

real talk.

i talked about it back when it first leaked and now fwmj just sent me this video.

how can you not love the arruh??

hotel chevalier.

yesterday spec downloaded hotel chevalier, starring jason schwartzman & natalie portman, onto my itunes (it's free, son!). it's the prequel to we anderson's the darjeeling limited and the joint was kinda dope.



the typical anderson camera tricks (which i love) are all here but schwartzman's forced macho act is fantastic and portman is actually believable as a sexpot. it's definitely put me in the mindset for the darjeeling limited even though its been getting bad reviews. also, check out the louis vuitton luggage, designed by marc jacobs, that's has a small cameo in hotel chevalier .. supposedly the luggage plays a bigger role in the darjeeling limited.

oh and for all you boys (and girls) who are natalie portman fans .. she's nekid in this short film.

that's all i got for now.

hate him as much as you want for let's get retarded ..
hate him as much as you want for selling out ..
hate him as much as you want for bringing us fergie ..
but dude is a hell of a producer.

that being said, the album is okay at best ..
but some of the production is standout.
he's not afraid to try things, not matter how corny they may end up being.

i just wish he would remember that he did cowrite ordinary people and that its ok to make music that's not targeted towards the 21 and under crowd.

then again, he's prolly enjoying the extra zeros in his bank account a bit too much to stray away from that.

angel grace jones.

so my uncle, aunt and their two kids just moved back up to nyc after a 5 year stint down in florida. they came up with a ton of furniture, their 5 year old poodle, Lucky, and their 3 month old shitzu-chihuahua, Angel. unfortunately, my lil cousin gabby's asthma acts up whenever she's around Angel so they had to get rid of her. enter Bella & me. we decided to give Angel a home. so last night we brought her home and she's been running around here discovering her new home.

we weren't real big fans of the name Angel but we'd kinda feel like slave masters (your name is TOBY!) if we changed it now that she's gotten used to it so we're just gonna leave the name. i wanted to name her grace jones so now that's her full name, angel grace jones. fuck that dogs can have full names too!

but yeah, i promise not to become one of those dog people. no outfits, no lil doggie rain boots and no lv doggie bag. i swear to god, if you see me with any of the above, kill me. if she's ever dressed like this ..



kill me.

but yeah, we got us a puppy ..
now we gotta train her ..
wish us luck.

get well charlotte ..

we're rooting for you.

i recently bought 2 books..

a clockwork orange by anthony burgess

&



the dangerous book for boys by conn & hal iggulden

i don't think i have to sell anyone on a clockwork orange. it's a classic book & a classic film which i'm sure a ton of you have heard about. the thing that i'm loving about this book is the language. burgess literally put together an entire "language" - called nadsat - that's spoken by alex and his lackies. nadsat is a mix of slavic, cockney, russian, gypsy and words that burgess invented. reading this book has not been easy but it definitely has not been difficult, it's kinda like traveling to a place where people speak english but with their own flair - it takes a sec to pick up on some of what's being said but when you get it, you fall in love with the word play. my emcee homies need to give this shit a shot.

the dangerous book for boys is already one of my favorite books ever. its basically a mini encyclopedia for the mischievous and curious boy in all of us. it speaks on everything from making a paper airplane to the golden age of piracy to making a battery and answers age old questions that kids ask, like "why is the sky blue?" it even has a section on understanding girls which is hilarious. every litle boy - and a few of the "grown" men that i know - needs this book and everything on the essential gear list (swiss army knife, compass, handkerchief, box of matches, small flashlight, band-aids, etc.) that comes in the book. there's only a lil bit of summer left but best believe i'm gonna be using the instructions on how to make a bow and arrow that are in this book before the cold weather hits us. wish Bella luck cause i can feel a few child-like accidents coming on SOON.

ok, off to bed i go ..
go read a damn book please.

g'night.

i'm watching the greatest movie ever ..

late pass me ..
i don't care.

but wow ..
mile high club.
titty being bit.
dick being bit.
ass being bit.
tongue being bit.
foamy eyes.
snake burrowing into an eye socket.
constricting boa.
bit kid.
flex.
and the greatest line evAr ..
"enough is enough! i've had it with these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!!"

it just gets more ridiculous with every damn scene.

greatest.
movie.
ever.

only the lord on high could have created something so amazingly terrible.

i love it ..
and it won't be over for another half an hour!

yee!
