South African Electro Dance Party

Africa: Continent (or country, to some sage politicos) of mystery. It's culture is varied and alien to westerners, but thanks to the magic of the internet, no longer totally unknowable. Shangann is genre of dance music largely from South Africa, drawing equally from tradiontal African music, the mos eisley cantina, and the buzzsaw electronics of aphex twin.

Also, the assocaited dancing is awesome.

Interesting tone, bypasses hokey bullshit. Simple premise I'd never seen before, and done right at that. The lack of alternate descriptors leaves it to Sci-Fi Rom-Com, but bypasses any and all negatives those usually conjure. Just Netflix Watch It Now. I assure you it's fantastic.

The Next Record In My Collection

Pete's World

I've archived all data from my computers dating back to 1997 or so. This is the entirety of a document labeled "the keg is floated" dated aug 2002, but these dates are often unrelaible and it could be a year or more earlier. it's from a folder "pete's world" that peter made on my danger dome era computer for his own personal musings. I suspect he is the author of all but the final line:

the keg is floated
bad noise
what’s chunky T doing?
how come jesse’s truck is outside
but the crazy man is lost
i’ve really got a headache

Cee Lo - Stray Bullets

People been bitching for years about Cee Lo rapping again, like Andre 3k shit, despite the fact he's been doing it all along and then some. I like Goodie Mob, don't get me wrong, and he's manhandled verses above the best of 'em (Dro in the Wind much?) but the main reason I've enjoyed him over the years was his solo albums. One of only a handful of legitimately Batshit Insane people with the talent to back it up. The assholes made songs i love despite John "Blues Traveler harmonica fucktard" Popper cameos.

The first Gnarls Barkley album was pop perfect throughout, the second i can't even make it through a year or two after the fact. 'Lo is best just freakin the fuck out on musical tangents. Stray bullets is the new mixtape good enough to just be an album, with a proper album coming out later this year. But this has some of the finest he's done in years already. Summer jams, Newhart Show lounge shit, 70's funk rock, a song with the b-52's involving Fred Schneider singing about how he likes his Pussy, the balls to put the first Goodie Mob reunion track in forever over a Nick Cave sample. Just fucking listen to it.

'I like it' is my current defacto summer jam. Nuff Said. Album link below dummies.

Bun B, estelle, and others. Either way a return to form the first one ten years ago made me so excited.

Cruising, chanting, sing along, solid rap and great tracks.

O Happy Day (well, Night Really)

Last night the city of Boston was busy. A basketball, baseball and hockey game all occurred within miles of one another at the same time. Why is this news you ask? You're a Yankee fan, why do you care about Boston?

Well, the baseball game happened to be the Yankees vs the Red Sox. The good guys. In fact, the bad guys (Boston teams of course) lost all three games. The Bruins lost, the Celtics lost and the Red Sox lost. I just love it when a plan comes together!!

Cavs win

On August 14th of this year Rick and I will be going to see said band. I bought three (3) tickets for some reason. There are three (3) of you left.

Now, I know nobody cares about them and I'm sure you have better things to do but come on. Free ticket, make fun of some music and the other people at the concert. What could be better?

Plus, this will be Rick's second trip to see these guys and I'm sure he would love a buddy to giggle with and make conversation that will help him forget where he is. So what say someone?

Delorean is the Anti-Burial

Delorean's debut LP "Subiza" is quickly growing into a favourite, summer soundtrack material. 'Grow' is standout in particular, first grabbing my attention a couple of days ago when it struck me as the sunny inverse of a Burial track. This 'live in the studio' video from pitchfork doesn't quite do the album version full justice, but should be a serviceable way to experience the song whilst giving your eyes something to do.

Friday Evening Pop Art Banquet

With the advent of Netflix, Redbox, and streaming video on the internet, the end of your blockbusters and movie gallerys is fact. For the most part, we will not mourn thier passing, nor should we. There is one, little thing though, that will be missed. In a way it's more a part of the culture of the independent video store than the blockbuster; i remember a video rental store frequented by my family that is now occupied by Vibe.



Anyway, the fun i'm talking about is VHS Cover art. Who among us wasn't enticed, excited and occasionally frightened by these little pop art masterpieces? Modern covers are photoshop construced pieces of bland marketing; those VHS covers of the past were flea-market approved bits of exploitation. RIP.

Ted Leo does Tears

The AV Club has started a new weekly feature: a band picks a song from a list made by the AV Club, covers it, and then the song is marked off the list so the next band has one less song to choose from. I wasn't sure how well the concept would work (and still suspect that it will post dimishing returns as the list dwindles) but the first installment is good fun.

Indie is the old 'Alternative'

After reading a Why We Fight on pitchfork (a discussion on approach to merits of music, fucking awesome) i was rubbed once again with the idea that the nomenclature of "Indie" is applied to everything now that isn't Beyonce.

While nitpicking genres used to be relegated for Sam Goody arguments as to whether NIN was stacked in the Rock or Heavy Metal section, Independent music doesn't leave much room for iffy-ness........

At most, small label. Independent label. Non-corporate label. At worst, unsigned band you dug enough to hope you could hate them later once everyone found out about them a year later (haterish bitches).

Still, anything not immediately played on radio is Indie now and wondering why. Labels are labels, easy outs the same. But the descriptor is less a vague feeling of the music and more an actual status, so I'm continuously confused.

Doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme, hadn't ranted in a while, but wtf?

Also read that article and anticipate more. I miss legit music arguments.

Of course it could be that the other Lebowski was the Candidate, given the mistaken identity, but it don't think Jacob makes mistakes like that.

Crazy is Timeless, but The Kids Like To Watch

Every time some deranged asshole flies a plane into a building or shoots his classmates/coworkers, we hear from the television and the mouths of the elderly that the world is spiraling uncontrollably towards the endtimes. Crazy is nothing new though, and these people have short memories. If you think people committing horrific acts of violence on innocent bystanders is just now coming into vogue, check out this lunatic and what he did- in 1927.

I'm a little suprised there has never been a film made about or inspired by this, though given the supreme awfulness of what happened I suppose there wouldn't be an appropriate way to handle it.
Another possibilty is that media of the day, or at least the people involved, were unwilling to sensationalize or even talk about what happened. Crazy always been crazy, but it would seem that in the present day, sane is way more willing to watch.

Here I Stand. Corrected,

30 Rock has become my new obsession. I’m not only infatuated with the characters and storylines but I have, in my mind, compared the show to such greats as the Office, Arrested Development and dare I say, Seinfeld.

To me, there is no weak link. Each actor on the show was perfectly cast and their character strategically placed to work well with the others.

Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski and yes, Tracy Morgan all add to success that is 30 Rock. So, to one Chunk T, you were right. I don’t know why I hated on it so much but you were right. I’m only in season one but am lovin’ it. It brightens up my day and makes me LOL constantly.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out on instant netflix. One or two episodes will get you hooked.

"I remember reading somewhere that someone called this album a mix of "Squarepusher and SunnO)))". Although that isn't entirely true, it was enough to make me check it out. It takes the idea of Dubstep being heavy and takes it to a new level. I would even say that it has the feel of the first two Portishead albums, but minus the vocals (and add "Creep as Fuck". It takes drones, glitches and turntalble noise (!) and makes it into a journey that will crush those not able or willing to let go and explore whats inside."

Cold Souls

When I first heard about this movie I got really excited. I thought it would be added to the long list of Kaufman movies that I enjoy though not being a Kaufman movie itself. And like me, every reviewer and critic has compared it to one of those classic "what the fuck, who could have thought of this" kind of movie.

I mean sure, somewhere there is someone who has a magic portal that lets him control John Malkovich (maybe) and I'm pretty sure you can erase your memory in some way or another to forget a harmful person plus there are a lot of odd people in this world and I'm sure at least one of them would like to make a life size play about their life. I can talk myself into believing all this.

However, the idea of extracting ones soul and replacing it, to me, is not only the most realistic but honestly an inevitable road that we will be strolling down. I mean come on people it's about time right? Plastic surgery is only skin deep. What if I want to change more then just my appearance? What if I want to be beautiful on the outside AND the inside? What if the soul I was given just isn't me? How will I ever be happy with this worn out soul?

These are just a few questions that I know I've asked myself and possibly you've asked as well. Fear not my friends, this movie brings to light the need to change. The need to be someone else.

I don't like long reviews so I will give you a bottom line.

The idea was there, the acting was pretty good but overall it was no Kaufman. The writing was off and story slowed at times. If I wasn't so into the idea of soul removal I think it would have bored me a bit. Definitely worth checking just to get some references though.

Critics Reviews
What comes to mind when you hear Mel Gibson’s name? (Besides being a racist religious fanatic) Violence; all his most famous and best movies are about it. Mel gets real upset and hurts some guys good. Think of the films: Mad Max’s, Lethal Weapon’s, the war trilogy= Braveheart, Patriot, We Were Soldiers. His directorial efforts as of late have also been violent Apocalypto & Passion of The Christ.

I like to think of his new film Edge of Darkness as part of the revenge trilogy with Ransom and Payback included. Those were both better movies though. Ransom had suspense and Payback had a dark humor to it. Edge is just Mel on a mission with nothing to do but have emotional breakdowns. The preview makes it seem like Mel gonna go crazy and wreak things. But it’s more of a mystery than anything like that.

This is his first acting gig since 2002’s Signs. I am glad to have Mel back in front of the camera; I think he has a cool screen presences. I read a review were they where comparing him to Clint Eastwood. I think who could keep going in that direction and make some good movies.

Is it worth seeing? How much do you like revenge pictures? I was never bored or pissed so that’s a good thing. However, it’s pretty standard; there were only a couple of memorable moments. I give it 3/5 stars.

I was not ready for what I just went through. A movie of this magnitude requires me to side step my usual format for something a little less cohesive.

I laughed, I felt disgusted, I felt content, I felt jealous, I put my hand over my face with my finger separated because I didn't want to see what was happening but I did. Yes, I went through a lot in an hour and a half.

This movie will get passed by many and may not win any awards but I think it was a joy to watch and definitely something that Danger will laugh at. The only thing I ask is that you go in with an open mind and enjoy yourself.

A while ago AV Club reviewed and rated Crank 2...they gave it an A-. That movie was insane. So much happened I didn't know what was going on half the time, it was ridiculous. But enjoyable nonetheless.

AC/DC & Iron Man

Wikipdia- AC/DC:Iron Man 2
As you guys know i a huge AC/DC fan. im even gay enough to have the shoes. Iron Man 2 soundtrack is made up of only AC/DC songs. this is really weird complication, its not a greatest hits cd M.I.A.= For those about to rock, you shook me all night, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, It's A Long Way To The Top. Some of the songs on it weren't even singles or fan favorites. Its a pretty good place to start for novices.
It's alot like Who Made Who soundtrack good album terrible movie, Stephen king movie about killer mac trucks. AC/DC have never put out a greatest hits album. they are in the only artist in top 15 best selling artist of all time to not do so. I don't get it. its not like their songs dont work together even with different singer, you know right away its AC/DC. any body got a guess of this? these days it really doesnt matter with playlists, which of course ive made many times for them. Oh yeah and this movie is gonna be kickass.

Big Fan

This movie really hits close to home for obvious reasons. If I lived in New York my life would be the New York Yankees. I would go to every home game, probably even try to work at the stadium in some way. I mean each year in the last two years I've gone back to New York and have seen a game (we won both times). My time at the stadiums can be described as sublime. 50,000 Yankee fans. 50,000 people who think like me. 50,00 people who won't argue if I say we didn't buy the championship because players, the season is so unpredictable. 50,000 of my best friends that I've never met before in one place. What can be better?

So I can relate to Patton Oswolt's character in a lot of ways. Being a fan of a team goes so far beyond wearing the clothing and watching a game. Being a fan is a part of you, it makes you who you are. It's knowing the players, it's defending the team when a rival tries to bring them down. It's being proud of the history. Being a Big Fan is yelling at a TV commentator for putting your star player down because he had a bad night or because they are writing your guys off because they had a bad June. Being a Big Fan is exhausting and tedious. It's what I live for.

On to the review

Bad:
Being reminded what it was like living with my mother. When the mom called Oswalt out about the issues in the trash, and the do-do stains on his undies I lost it. It was a great part in the movie but it's under the Bad section because it reminded me of my life when I lived at home. You know she walked in on me one time. It was a sad time in my life.

Pineapple does not belong on pizza.

Robert D Siegel - I loved The Wrestler. Great movie. And I'm not going to comment on his directorial debut but on the writing. There were a few parts in the movie that really ruined it for me.

First, I don't know a single person who would follow a car full of black people to the ghetto and then to a strip club and then approach them in said strip club. I don't care if it's my favorite player or a rapper I like or whoever, if he's black and with an entourage I'm staying away. Period. And I think any person would do the same. Right?

Second, sitting in the parking lot and watching the game. I'll get into this more below.

Fight Scene - Really bad. Really.

Good:
Argument between the mom and son about what life should be like, married with kids having a 9-5 job. I fight with myself all the time about how being single is bad and that I have to meet someone and blah blah. Because I've been conditioned my movies, TV, my parents that you have to follow some sort of line in life. High School, College, Job, Marriage, Kids. Not anymore. These days that life is a thing of the past and the only ones that hold on to that is the older people looking down on our generation. Making us think that we're wrong for our life choices. Do what makes you happy.

The ending when Oswalt goes into the Eagles bar and does that thing. That was great. I've actually had a nightmare where I was in Boston and was surrounded by Red Sox fans. Scariest shit ever. So I could never do anything like that but good for him.

I have to think more about this movie but off the top I really didn't like it that much. I mean a Big Fan would go to the game. It's like an addiction. You work to get your fix. If it was me I'd find a way in the stadium not just in the parking lot. That didn't work for me. Like I said, I'd be working in New Yankee Stadium in some way or another, I would never just sit in the parking lot.

Once again I'm going to be generous with my rating because I still liked the concept of the movie. I am going to watch it again.

The Hurt Locker

I love war movies. I love the routine that soldiers have to go through from keeping the peace to clearing rooms. I love the spontaneous sniper and trip wire. I love how civilians don't understand. I love that a nine year old can carry an AK-47. I love this stuff in movies only, real life is different. Shit is fucked up and scares the crap out of me.

For me there are two kinds of war movies. Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers and Black Hawk Down. Action, drama and more action with a little more action on top. These movies rely more on the war part itself with little back story of say, saving a son after his brothers die or wives banding together to deliver bad news and so on. These are good movies but they are more highlights of war rather then the full game.

The other kind of movie started, for me, with Jarhead. A movie about war but with no real war in it. That's where The Hurt Locker comes in. It definitely is a step above Jarhead but it's in the same boat. Movies like this revolve around what it takes to be a soldier rather then just watching them fight. You don't just hand a kid a gun and watch him kill people with out repercussions. I want to see them cry, get mad and think about what they're doing. To me this feels more real.

I just want to say that I'm not taking away from any movie of real life war. But war has changed and modern day war is more about missiles and strategic strikes then throwing thousands of soldiers on a beach.

Good:
Jeremy Renner - This guy is awesome. I've seen a couple of his movies and he's good in them but watching The Unusuals (a TV show that was canceled last year) really made him stand out to me. He just has that charisma with that I don't give a fuck or have anything to live for attitude. It works for him.

William James (this is Jeremy Renner's character in the movie) - This is my favorite kind of character soldier. He reminded me of Jeremy Tindal. Crazy redneck, strong for his size with a soft side that he doesn't like people seeing. Right Rick?

Ending - Chucks I feel like you can relate to the ending more then anyone else because you've been there. When you do what Renner's character does, you are not ever going to be happy with a 9-5 job. Even being back in society, say at a grocery store, will be weird.

I think I've said enough. This is a good movie, the only bad thing for me was that I probably won't ever re-watch it and that's big in my decision making for a rating. Hopefully I've convinced you to see this because it is really good. I like all Danger can appreciate a well written, well acted movie about what it's really like to play in the sand.

Paranormal Activity

I don't think any Danger Crew will see this movie or even wants to see it but since it got so much press I wanted to throw my two cents in. And here it is - Do NOT see this movie.

Bad:
Actors - Both the dude and chick were annoying. Luckily we didn't see much of the guy and the girl does have big boobs so it gave me something to look at but ultimately it wasn't enough. They bothered me so much that I wanted to kill myself just so I can go to there houses now and haunt the fuck out of them. Won't be just a movie for long suckers.

Length - Good lord I checked my watch every 10 minutes and it was only a 1.30 movie. GOD JUST KILL THEM ALREADY!!

Unbelievability - The thing with hand held camera movies is that it's suppose to make you think that it is real. That what you are watching is the one an only take. Blair Witch, [REC] both did a good job on this however, P.A. did not. It just seemed like the two actors just read a script and went along with what it said. I'm trying not to give anything away so that's all I'll say. I just think they went along with things too easily.

You think I'm dumb or something? Do you think that I constantly went to the bathroom? Or did you see me falling asleep? No? Then why the fuck did you re-show everything that just happened? I saw it the first time two minutes ago I don't need to re-watch everything we already saw. Damn!

Good:
They used the intense moments really well. One of the few things good about this movie is they took the set up to the original level. A scary movie is more then sex and blood. It's suppose to scare you Rob Zombie. The original Halloween used tension and build up to get you out of your seat not just throat slicing and blood smearing. If he would have capitalized on some of these moments (not Rob Zombie but Oren Peli)this would have been a great movie. I love scary movies and he would have gotten me a tone of times. But didn't. Sad face.

Ending - Both endings (there was an alternate) were good because I got what I wanted from them.

I'm being generous with my rating only because of the one good thing there was in the movie. Intensity at the beginning. They could have done so much more with it.

Ladainian Tomlinson Buries the Super Bowl Suffle

In honor of the Chargers playing the Jets for thier division championship this sunday in San Diego, and for my friends who will be in town for that weekend, i give you the "LT Slide Electric Glide." One guess who's behind this, besides San Diego running back Ladainian Tomlinson.

Check Check

Always room for more Nick Cage!!





and if it's long the rest here.

[REC]

Heard about the sequel on one of the top ten of the year lists and I wanted to check this out first one. To the point, it was good.

Good:
I'm really not a fan of hand held camera shot movies (Blair Witch, Cloverfield) but this one didn't bother me. By far my favorite.

Subtitles - Usually if I rent a movie with them I'm ready for some reading. The best part of this was that you couldn't take your eyes off the screen if you got scared because you wouldn't know what was going on. Pretty tricky.

Zombies - They are my fav.

The set up - The movie centers around the inside an apartment building. With only a certain amount of places to go/hide the tension builds.

Ending - I just liked it.

Bad:
The Chick - She tended to overact on her screaming lines. If this was in English I have a feeling she would have been black. Yeah, I said it.

Middle - It dragged a bit. Unfortunate because the beginning and end was hippity hop.

Random Thought:
You're familiar with the term "side-boob" right? View a breast from the side. Self explanatory I know. But how well do you know the "boobs-in-a-shirt-and-pressed-against-something" view? My new favorite because you see enough while not seeing anything. I don't like giving out spoilers but there may or may not be one of those views at the end of the movie. ??

A lot of people are comparing it to the American made Quarantine which came out a year later. [REC] was a lot better
