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.

Common - Driving Me Wild (Ft. Lily Allen)

song grew on me. nice vid.

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.

everywhere, like, such as

1.4 million views in one day can't be wrong.

probly many more to come.

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.

super bad

movie looks like it will be worth checking out.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E.

kanye like. i like.

m.i.a. jimmy vid

very cool.

Chenelle "I Fell In Love With The DJ"

other worldly fun.

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.

TPAIN cant sing

modern technology is quite amazing.

the new album is great. everybody thinks so.

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.
