Godammnit Woody Allen, Pride of Ownership

Alright. I waited 26 years to succumb to woody allen's barrage of film. Not sure if fate intervened so I would get it at the appropriate time, or if I'm just a picky jackass, but this shit is fantastic. Know it's backasswards but he out Larry Davids Larry david. Saw Mighty Aphrodite tonight and was won over. This is the opener (couldn't find anything else), but it develops ten fold so if you get the hint and you aren't in tune, check it the fuck out. This film in particular goes from sprinkles of absurd but relevent, to complete misery. And I can say for the first time in a long while instead of miserable HAHA at the misery throughout, it left me with miserable HAHA feeling ecstatic when it was over. Maybe there's something to the talk. I know a couple of you have avoided it as much as I have.And yes, this sequence is the actual movie and flows throughout. Retardedly high school greekily miserable fun.

Helena Bonham Carter, F. Murray Abraham, Olympia Dukakis, Mira Sorvino, Peter Weller, Michael "I'm not...motherfucking" Rapaport, and Paul Giamatti. Come the fuck on. I'll hate you if you don't dig this. It's serious bitches.






css. i'm confused.

sexy? talented? maybe i'm just high, but i'm going to say i like this.

I Think This Cant Miss!

Wednesday, February 20, 2008

this one....

is for people who like fun. the wink nod freakout towards the end says it all, if the dedication to proper recording didn't cover it in the first place. i wish someone could make a rap album that sounds like 60's recording technique. i swear it would take over the world. copyright me on that shit. soooo hot.

rick's computer is broken...

So it'll be at least a couple of days before he can delete this. Let's enjoy.





Things I learned from 20 min of MTVu

Tonight i wandered haphazardly into a realm of food coma bewilderment and found myself unable to remove my ass from the couch, here are several Things I learned from 20 min of MTVu


Charmingly simple videos will make me smile and hold my attention


Vampire Weekend 'A-Punk', although I enjoy the song Oxford Comma much more


Tunng 'Bullets'

The Black Eyed Peas opened some sort of pandora's box for shit like this to follow

The D.E.Y., 'some song that bought them all houses they don't deserve'

Also there is some sort of prolonged emergance of blandly exciting dance/rock music i wasn't really aware of seperate from the disco indie rock that's been around for a while now. if this is the new Bush to Fall Out Boy's Nirvana I'm very scared for what the future Creed will do.


Cobra Starship, 'Just fucking stop already'

Tegan and Sara should avoid making videos, or maybe just videos for 'our obvious submission for the single to the label'. It makes me actually pay attention to the song instead of just bobbing my head along to it in the background. I enjoy this specific track exponentially less when i'm paying attention to it.


Tegan and Sara 'The Con'

Finally, no matter how cute it was in the context of a cute movie that made people wish they had knocked up their cute high school sweetheart without consequence, it is not necessary to consider and play this as a music video, although technically it is music and it was videotaped or an equivalent thereof.

Michael Cera and Ellen Page, 'That song from Juno'

how fucking dangerous....


...does this shit look?





seriously though, how about this for the new danger dome?



Benny Lava

If pop music will adopt an industry wide lyrical style like this I swear I will pay for every bit of music I obtain for the rest of my life.

lets talk 2007 albums: burial - 'untrue'




(1st in a series, hoping we could all contribute an album or more. sort of like our own "best of 2007" but without ranks or letter grades...just long thoughts on the best music of last year.)

we have this fantastic stereo at cuizine: giant PA speakers, an amp that weighs a fucking ton, and an patch cable for my ipod/laptop. thanks to the indifference of my coworkers/bosses, i pretty much run the music when i work, and i've taken the opportunity to try to introduce new music not just to others but myself.



the bar is usually dark, and for most of week, devoid of customers. it's a perfect enviroment for rich, unhurried music that endears itself with time rather than the wow factor of that summer single we always seem to discover in march. it's in this way i've come to know and love burial's "untrue."

i'd read here and there about 'dubstep;' an underground english dance craze that was being sold as the spirtual successor to trip-hop. given my well known fasciantion with portishead, massive attack, hooverphonic, tricky and the like, i felt that this might be something i liked, so i tried various productions "the world is gone" and was mightily dissapointed. 'dubstep' is a throughly honest name- everything in the genre (at least 90% anyway) is in two-step. bump, clink, bump, duh-duh-duh. whole albums. bump clink bump duh duh duh. what the fuck. sure trip-hop was often rhymically simple, but i found this patenedly ridiculous.


"ghost hardware" by burial. just listen...the video is fan made

fortunately my boredom (and the try it see if you like it nature of the internet + ipod) eventually led me to 'untrue.' i had come off listening to the field's "from here we go to sublime" (maybe my next entry for LT2007) for the better part of the summer and was now convinced that it was possible to wring maximum joy and intensity from very simple, repetitive , unconvential music. untrue unfolded in front of me the way the best albums do...slowly, over the course of weeks, until all i could think about was this color, shade, emotion, tempature and other kinestic madness, laid like countryside, cityscape, wasteland around the steady train track of insidous two-step precussion, scratchy and distant like old vinyl.

so the album goes bump clink bump duh duh duh. it's fucking great... little vocal fragments, sped up, slowed down, just the best parts. simple, erie melodies...like ambeint works 2 with a backbone. my highlights- archangel, near dark, ghost hardware, etched headplate, raver....but really they are all just one song. like with 'from here we go to sublime' very little changes in the course of the song, in terms of melody or tempo or anything, and yet somehow there is motion and life.


'archangel' - rickles disclaimer- this does in no way rock.


with 'unture' burial has produced a dubstep album that doesn't suck, and is, in fact, infinitely relistenable and enjoyable- something severly lacking in the genre, and even in burial's self-titled first album. get this shit, listen to it on repeat, and try to get it out of your head.

p.s. the louder your stereo the better. massive low end is essential.


vertipod t-shirts to be ready by V-day !!UPDATED!!

An update to the post that follows: i have a proof of concept to help convince investors:






previously, on chunkyvision:

just a heads up, to see if there is any interest. i found a t-shirt shop on richland ave on the northside that makes shirts for CHEAP; i had a very stylish chunky Tee made for 10 dollars american.

anyway my next project for them is going to be a jesse on the vertipod shirt. so far my idea is to lift the layer of jesse on the 'pod of the cityscape and drop it on a tasteful baby tee. any takers/design ideas, i.e. colors, size, cut (they have wife-beaters, chris) or add'l text? they make a perfect valentines gift for a loved one.
