Where Are They Now?

Lil' Pete from Pete and Pete has a bluseyish jam band (my describtion after listing to 1 half of 1 mp3) . They are called Jounce.

I woulda pegged him for more of a fan of Metallica rather than Dispatch... but I guess you can judge a person's musical taste by what the character they played when they were 9.

Big Pete was in Slackers and that will forever be a good movie cause Jason Schwartzman rode a Unicycle and called himself Cool Ethan.



The Interweb teaches me things and for this I am grateful.

G-G-G-G-G-G-G-UNIT!

Last Saturday I saw 50 cent and Lil' John at the Big Sky Ampitheatre which is really a field next to the Brewery where they build a stage and sell beer and hot dogs. It took 2 hours of standing in the blistery winds to get in - well not reall in, more like around - the building to see the show, but I did get to see the poet that wrote the immortal verse:

From the windows/
To the walls/
'Till the sweat drips down my balls/
Down these females craws

So that was cool. Then theres a part about skeet shooting or something.

Some observations:

• I'm not saying that you shouldn't let your kids listen to rap music - but I don't think you should bring your 5-year-old to a show where every other word is fuck and the preformers regularly ask the crowd "WHO HERE LIKES TO SMOKE WEED?!?!?!" Then you add in the references to the girls with the "big titties" and all the gun noizes and you're just asking for some kind of warped childhood. Although I guess if you do choose to pay 50 bucks to bring your five-year-old to see Fiddy you probably don't care too much about warping their brain.
• Girls will hooch up for any show really, but rap shows seem to bring the inner hooch out in flying colors. Cold winds couldn't hinder the hooches at this show who seemed to say to themselves "Ahh the concert is in a giant field and the paper says there is a chance of rain - I definetly should wear the mini skirt, tube top and the 4 inch stiletto heels."
• Eating popcorn at a rap show seems weird. Paying three bucks for a small cup of beer and foam seems weirder.
• When you are part of a larger group it is harder to preform the songs by yourself. I mean, Bizarre was interesting to see, but he had to cut all of the D-12 songs down cause, well, you know he is only 1 member of D-12.
• Rappers are similar to fifteen-year-olds on prom night - they both like to be sparkly.
• If I were in a band, I like Fiddy would end every song I did with a gun blast - you seem much cooler that way, and at least the first time you're going to startle some people.
• It will only be a matter of time until the giant pendants around rapper's necks are replaced with a model of the rims of their ride - actual size.
• Lil John had a big blow-up Crunk Juice prop, that seems about right.
  

He likes pancakes and is probably older than you

So apparently Andy Milonakis was born in 1976 which would make him not like some ADD-ridden 14 year old with the crazies but a 29-year-old guy who just happens to be able to act like some ADD-ridden 14 year old with the crazies. He has some kind of hormonal thing that makes him look much younger than his actual age (kind of a reverse version of that crappy Robin Williams movie Jack).

Either way that thing with the old guy in a lawn chair holding a tube of Bengay at the end of every rainbow was pretty funny.

"RAINBOWS SUCK!"

Hurrah it's 88¢ Tuesday!

What other reason would I ever have to even consider renting National Treasure or Seed of Chucky?

Loyal Degrassi Army! ASSEMBLE!

So glarkware proves again and again that Canada knows their shit when it comes to clever and/or awesome clothing.

Dear lord there's a Degrassi shirt.

Heathcliff It's me Cathy....

So when I saw the Decemberists a few months ago Petra Hayden sang on a cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and it was AMAZING. I can only find a live performance of it, but it's avaliable for download.


I've read Wuthering Heights, but I didn't like it much... maybe cause I had to read it in the summer when my reading time is more or less spent on shorter or at least funnier things and Wuthering Heights is pretty long and fairly tragic... but I like the song so much I'm considering rereading it for fun.


Yeah you heard me, rereading Wuthering Heights for fun.
