Can you Digg It?

You know that website that lets users rate websites (or something, I've never used it.) Ever wonder what the founder did before he came up with Digg?

hipster hop

If Hip-Hop is dying, this is certainly keeping it in hooked up to life support ...
Seriously? .... seriously ... ?
What confounds me more is not these idiots doing this, but ALL THE PEOPLE SITTING AROUND WATCHING! But I guess when your hip-hop history is confined to "that one song Aerosmith did with those guys in the 80s", "Flava Flav (in reality show format)", and "Will Smith" it's not too surprising this would pass as .. well, passable ...



via look at this fucking hipster

too weird not to share

phantom crew!

made me a youtube video ... well, just edited a video and put a phantom crew beat on it ...

the greatest 3 minutes of your life

What OJ should've done

My first impulse was to run up on you and do a Rambo, whip out the jammy and flat blast both of you . . . but I chilled (It gets pretty good at 2:20, though some of the dance moves with the guys in tuxes are eerily similar to the dancing old guy at the Jackson stop)

Catch the Wave

Hey, the eighties were a pretty weird time to be alive, right? What with the kids and their mall hair and their color-changing shirts and their angry hip hop music?

But the decade provide us with at least one thing that was undeniably awesome: Max Headroom



Here in the States, we mostly know Max from coke commercials and a short-lived (but kind of cool) TV series, but he had been a celebrity character in the UK for a few years before as a host to a music channel. But let me be honest, if you have no idea who Max Headroom was, you should probably stop reading now cause its about to get weirder.

On November 22, 1987, during WGN's News At Nine, the station's broadcast signal was interrupted and replaced with an image of a dude in a Max Headroom mask. No audio, just the image. The station switched their studio link and everything was back to normal.



But not for long. Later that night, the PBS channel WTTW was broadcasting an episode of Doctor Who when Headroom gave it another shot. This time the hijack included audio and lasted for about 90 seconds before it was cut off. I would try to describe it but words cannot do justice to the level of weirdness going on here



The man responsible for the hijacking was never caught.

This was the last broadcast television intrusion in American history.

Mashed Potatoes

So got an email from my mom to all the kids in the family asking what we're all bringing for Thanksgiving. I replied "Mashed potatoes" with this attached.

I know, nothing new. We've all seen it even before everything you've ever wanted to see, and more, has been put on youtube. Remember when if you wanted to see that clip you had to watch it Saturday night on Cartoon Planet? Good times. Working for entertainment. Not like kids these days.

Anyway, I was on the youtube and found a recipe for ghetto potatoes and yak-yak.

Fo' shizzle, Nephew.

oh guilty pleasures ....

Back on the video tip.

Yeah. Not guilty pleasures because of any preconceived notion of what kind of music someone like me should like. No, mostly cause these songs epitomize the uber-slick image that record companies push on people with less constitution and greater impressionability. Plus the misogyny is pretty out of control on all of these, even the one sung by a chick. That being said, shit, I love these jams ... Can't embed cause their parent companies won't allow it ...

JiggaMan don't dig 99% of this guy's stuff but this is the JiggaJam. Like how i did that?

I remember waiting for this to come on the radio back in the day when I had a car with a tape player that didn't work. Circa 2001? I think that's about when this tune came out. Produced by Dre, so it's hard to argue. Video is so contrived though. Can we put a moratorium on videos that follow the "Rich people having party. Urban/poor/different people feel slighted. Urban/poor/different people invade party. Everyone has good time except for one stuckup person after realizing that urban/poor/different people have the BEST parties, The End."

Ha. Yeah, a great example of what "Real Southern Girls" look like. And not exploitative at all. Glad Pharrell got rid of that mustache though. Oh yeah, and in case you forgot, Mystikal is in jail for 6 years for makin' his hair stylist give him a BJ. A true lover of women. Still like that beat though.

Ivor Cutler

Lemme pile on some more youtube clips:

Harmonium
Happy
Gimme some more

Ivor Cutler, we hardly knew ye

jit v juke

Speakin of "Real Talk", I picked up a postcard in a record shop the other day advertising the Juke Remix of "Real Talk" ... YouTube and Google searches yielded no results unfortunately. So instead, here's a video of Jit Vs Juke. Detroit Vs Chicago. It's all in the footwork fool!



our blog is nothing but a youtube gallery. boo hiss.

But why stop now? I can't believe I didn't include this in my early 90's hip hop cavalcade. This one's for Pimpernel cause I know how much likes this song. On a side note, I never associated this song with 50s diners and black Marilyn Monroes ... until now ...



and one more ... not only is this Color Me Badd performing "I Wanna Sex You Up", it is Color Me Badd performing "I Wanna Sex You Up" live on Soul Train ... with Japanese subtitles ... this one's for Bogardus cause I know how much he likes Sam Watters ...

Batman Obama

John McCain learned his debate style from The Penguin



And just in case you still don't totally buy the McCain = Penguin conceit, check it

joe esposito and bisque

So yesterday I got home from working all weekend and was feeling under the weather. Naturally, I made up some tomato/basil bisque and listened to the Karate Kid soundtrack to help me feel better. S'when I started wondering if these songs had videos ... so I got on the Youtubes and found these guys ... clearly shot in a dorm, probably over a winter break or something, this is actually really well done ...

and on a side note, I now listen to this song everyday before going to work ... try it, it works wonders ...

more of the same

So my boy Elliot was tellin me he was up in this joke ass napspot tryin to catch his daily "z"s but them busta's up in there was jus bumpin mad ABC jamz from the early 90s so I had to look thems up cause it's been a straight minute since I peeped 'em.

check out these videos ...
Iesha
Playground

First off, they both use the hook from BBD's Poison (what's up with the intro to THAT video). Which makes sense seeing as Michael "Biv" Bivins of Bel Biv Devoe was the producer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like that hook, but ... gonna use it three times??

Second off ... god DAMN those kids are young. I don't remember that, but that's probably cause i was 11 years old when them tunes dropped.

Thirdly, they using the same footage in both videos! Comon now ... have some self respect!

anyway, more of yer old school hip hop ...

Heavy D and the Boyz: Mr. Big Stuff
EPMD: You Gotz to Chill
Ultramagnetic MCs: Traveling at the Speed of Thought (provin kool keith has always been nuts)

not old school but a tight video ... at least watch till 1:30 ...
Hiero: Don't Hate the Playa

and cause kool keith is so brilliantly out of his goddamn mind
Dr. Octagon: Aliens

lookin' boy

Been meaning to post this for a while, but kept forgetting. It's pretty old now, but figure Bluntest viewers (if there's any left) weren't the type to be searchin' this shit out ... video is well worth watchin ...

yeah, it's just the dozens, and yeah, they from chicago ... what whaaaaa?

4 awesome videos

this one's a joke


this one's not ... still ... i think kanye is more of an embarrassment to chicago


i know what you're thinking ... I'd love to lose 3 minutes of my life watching an out of tune barbershop quartet dressed like Hall and Oates frolic in Central Park with two kids and a really gay Jor-el...


Wendy's is FRESH! ... I'm not gonna lie, I would work anywhere that trained me like this.

pink ties

Well, august 2008 will probably go down as the slowest bluntest month to date (see, you might think that we all have broken arms [except pimpernel] but really, its just me. your other contributors have fully functioning extremities, and are just lazy as dirt.) I have been spending a whole lotta time on the 'ol 'puter, but its been on this page, the NY Craft Beer Week site I designed. It's up and running, and quite impressive, if I may say so. Not just the design/functionality, but the event itself is huge. Literally crap-loads of beers, breweries, and bars participating. Any NY readers should definitely consider going. Everything takes me 3x-5x times longer then it should which is why I've only been working on that.

anyway, here's some stuff to gander at.

ignore the authors captions, they're not funny. the images are though.
check out this weird academic-ish article about reggae. cause the drastics is in it. huh?
so livejournal has a really shitty rip off of blogger's "post secret". it's called "secretpost". how original. anyway, i found this and it made me hate angst more than ever. grow up kid.
Detroit is an interesting town ... must watch until 3min mark


aight, i'll try to get back on this.

Fun with CNN

CNN is really raising the bar for journalism: Amateur journalism on an LA burlesque house and theater. (NSFW in case you couldn't tell by the word "burlesque") Here's a good quote: "It's not about nudity, it's about story telling" . . . and I get my subscription to "Juggs" for the articles. And, no real surprise here, the burlesque show pays for the actual theater portion. One last thing on this theater: they have a children's theater school. If only I had teachers when I was young whom I could look up on the internet and see dancing around in corsets.

As for the actual reporting, CNN apparently is now allowing amateur commercials to be shown on their website. I think the requirement is the commercial must include sex, animals, or children wearing or doing something comical.

Now for Other Articles:

"Mayor John Molony found himself under attack Monday over comments he made to a local newspaper that read: "May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa."" Cause a big fat woman will keep you warm at home

The lagging economy has stopped teenage girls from dressing like whores . . . DAMN YOU REPUBLICANS!!!

Chinese Bible laws are very much like US drug laws: "Under Chinese law, it is illegal to bring printed religious material into the country if it exceeds the amount for personal use." Gideon would be SOOO busted.

Alan Colmes Grows Some Huevos

Sean Hannity was probably thinking, "Who let this guy on the show? Oh, is this the guy who's name comes after mine in the title? Isn't he supposed to be doped up on morphine so he can't cause any problems?"
