sagging pants = jail


http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/30/fashion/30baggy.html

making baggy pants illegal is the most ridiculous thing ever. maybe we should ban wearing your watch on your right hand.

delta goodrem new single


http://deltagoodrem.com/

it's called "in this life" and it's great. if you do not know who she is, she is huge in australia. i listened to a couple radio interviews with her yesterday and she's cool. i repeat, huge. her site is brand new.

my movie revues #16


blades of glory - pass, had a couple laughs but too stupid to recommend.
the brown bunny - pass, unreally bad. easily in top 5 worst i've seen this year. and a 10 mil budget is unrelentlessly baffling.
the bourne ultimatum - see, it's fun to laugh at the predictability and unrealisticity of this one. fun action too.
lilja 4-ever - see, an important film. the best on this short list.
belly - pass, there was action but nothing was happening.
rude - see, an interesting visual story that reminded me of live theatre.
a simple curve - see, a canadian effort with some nice scenery. it was good.

m.i.a. from mixte (french mag)



i don't usually like things that are overly fashionable but this outfit is classic black and white.

kanye first look


http://www.rwdmag.com/articles/6015/Online-Review-Kanye-West--iGraduationi-.html

kanye played the new album for some people off his laptop. sept 11. big day. 3 huge hiphop albums. no album cover pic cause i don't like it.

made of bricks


http://www.musicomh.com/albums/kate-nash_0707.htm

the reviews are mixed on this album. upon first listen, it threw me off a bit. but you can't help not liking a girl who sings in a uk accent. dickhead is a leet track. album went straight to #1 in uk.

m.i.a. the rolling stone review


http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/15828484/review/15854428/kala

4.5/5. i think i like this new album more than the first. hussel! will be in top 5 of this year no sweat.

Days of the Leak


http://www.spin.com/features/magazine/2007/07/0708_leak/

always interesting to read about albums leaking. however, the statement "Absolutely everything leaks." is nonsense. most canadian albums are ripped the tuesday they come out.

marry me m.i.a. lol


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/arts/2007/08/04/sm_mia04.xml

yes i have heard the new album and it doesn't disappoint. i will say that boyz sounded erratic upon first listen a couple months ago, but now it just sounds like a great pop song.

my movie revues #15


bubble - see, this is a love it or hate it steven soderbergh movie. i liked that it was overwhelmingly simple to the point where you ask yourself "is that all?"
st. elmo's fire - see, was ok.
clerks - see, very dialogue driven. scene after scene ended with humor.
brooklyn rules - see, a valid effort.
the hottest state - pass, unlikeable characters. and crass as it may be, due to sound problems on the copy i watched, seeing catalina naked was the highlight of this one.
the simpsons movie - see, good fun. you know what you're in for pretty much.
the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy hd - see, some amazing visuals in this bewildering experience.
