postop post of postjams.

i had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday. aside from eating pillz and lazing about, i've been watching bill murray movies and tons of post-punk and gothy vidz.

chris cross

a couple nights ago i was getting lifted in bed and decided it was time to watch a film. netflix suggested i watch the 1981 romcom, ARTHUR, simply because it was "new" to the watch instantly feature. it looked like something maybe i saw when i was young and i started to feel nostalgic about some blurry scene of him in the bathtub- probably because emotions were high. so i went for it.


there he is! dudley moore goofin off in the tub.

the first scene of ARTHUR in the tub is preceded by the scene below of he and his butler.


classic. I DIGGIT.

however, right after this scene i fell asleep. fifteen minutes in, maybe? really, that's all i needed- my want to see him goofin around in the tub for a second was fulfilled AND (the real treat (which is the subject of this blog)) i was reintroduced to the opening song, ARTHUR'S THEME (BEST THAT YOU CAN DO) written by carole bayer sager, burt bacharach, christopher cross & peter allen, and performed by CHRISTOPHER CROSS. GODDAM SO GOOD. soft-pop-yacht rock at its best.


there he is. christopher cross and a child.

i really know nothing about him, nor do i really care outside of this jam. one thing is true tho: i do always think of a popular tiny backwards rap outfit when i hear his name.


why are they wearing their clothes INCORRECT ;) like that?

so, all that aside, here it is. this video is decent and all as it includes clips from the motion picutre, but the majick of the song is really caught as you hear it in the opening scene of ARTHUR as he is drunkenly cackling, being driven around night time NYC in a rolls-royce in search of a prostitute. which, darn the luck, i could not find a video of.

it is the most perfect soft rock song.

BUT! before i found the video above, i came across the gem below:

aaaahhhh HAHAHA! i love this. sometimes people do something so funny and then put it up on the internet for everyone to enjoy. thank you youtube user, STONERPERV. i suppose this was actually the true blogspiration for this entry.

if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch...

you must first invent the universe.

this is unbelievably well done and thoughtful.

it's kind of alot to ask, but...

...i need to know because i'm going to the west coast for two and a half weeks. STOKED.

l8r allig8r.

LEVITATE.

THE RELUCTANT SAINT...

ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO
"prone to miraculous levitation and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping. in turn, he is recognized as the patron saint of air travelers, aviators, astronauts, people with a mental handicap, test takers, and weak students." (wiki)

this leads me to believe he is also the prime candidate for patron saint of the shaka...


BEHOLD the mental saint as he hangs loose before the eyes of god.


"levitate... and faith bore witness to cumulus."

the hiphop maniac, the uptown brainiac...

well, january HAS had its moments...

see, we are all twenty three year oldz. twos on yr right and threes on yr left. throwed up for EMJAY.


tree city famlay crafted some tunes and put on a rap performance. the gods were definitely out. pause.


queen laqueefah was forced to bite snuggie's patented style.


this guy at the bar dressed his hands up like twins.


and felipe went all city in the target parking lot.

prodigy...

of MOBB DEEP. not 'firestarter' prodigy, dummy.

this has been confusing to people on the internet. amazon customers, specifically. here are a couple funny reviews of RETURN OF THE MAC... SORRY SO BLURRY.








and this one...










what a fucking nerd.

i remember about a year ago watching some dudez smash up a car while listening to "firestarter"... and i thought, "i wish they were playing 'keep it thoro'."
.................................................................

anyway, since prodigy is my horsebird blogspiration, i thought i'd post a few of my favorite prodigy videos.

MAC 10 HANDLE


NEW YORK SHIT.


ABCs.


and finally, KEEP IT THORO.


this is only solo prodigy shit, obv. stay healthy. get out of jail soon.

LARD...

i wrote a sixteen for this remix that my buddy GLOOM is doing. LARD (as in a southern dialectal pronunciation of 'lord') is the title of the instrumental. so i took it and played on that... hot sixteen! hot sixteen!

O LARD!... ON SOME SOUTHERN RURAL LIVIN
TO FIND THE trilo-BIBLE WITH THE SPINE THE SIZE OF CHILDREN'S
I'M WITH GLOOMINATI TAKING SHOTS OF PISS AND VINEGAR
AND I CAN SMELL THE MALT LIQUOR LINGER OFF THE MINISTER
GODDAM!... HOLES, HOLES IN HIS HANDS
'LARDY' BE THE MERCY CALL, THE BLOOD HAS LEFT THE LAMB
SORDID SLOWDRIP, RUBBER GLOVES AND WOODEN BUCKETS
TRYING TO BAG IT UP AND FLIP IT FOR DIAMONDS OR DUCKETS
TRANSFER OF THE PRODUCT, TURNING BLOOD OF GOD TO BUTTER
XEIlaRUESKI CHURNS IT PROPER, DEADING BISQUIT LEGAL NUMBERS
A SACK OF LARD IS PURITY, THEY PRAISE DIVINE FORCES
ON ALL FOURS, BETWEEN BREAKING TALLOW-COVERED HORSES
HORSE HOOF AND MOUTH, GETTING GULLY IN THE SADDLE
SCREAMING 'GALLOP YR WINGS!' WHILE FEEDING THE BEAST APPLES
TRAVELING THE PLANE TO CAST THE LARD'S SHADOW BOLD
AND MELT IT INTO FAITH FROM THE BLAZE OF SUN'S GOLD

triflin. you can find gloom HERE.

somalia...

i haven't really liked anything else k'naan has done, but this is a good rap.
a country, city ode to to somalia, mogadishu. somailian pirates...

so what you know about the pirates terrorize the ocean
to never know a single day without a big commotion
it can’t be healthy just to live with such a steep emotion
and when I try and sleep, I see coffins closing

conflict...

r. kelly. SEX IN THE KITCHEN.
toms, fruits, veggies, taters.


japcity. PUT THAT BUDDY UNDER THE JAIL.
the fuck is up with this dude's name?

revenge of the nerds...

the god, arnold poindexter, of tri-lam asks the earth from omega mu...

"wait - would you rather live in the ascendancy of a civilization or during its decline?"

MEMORIES OF DECADENCE

............................................

PLUS! nothing to do with anything. check this new scarface video. hot hot hot hot hot hot...

thanks for the tip, g-wiz. PAUSE.

no more...

i maxxxed out.

3rd bass on the second date...

GAS FACE.

all things good about this video: a detailed explanation and history of 'the gas face'. flavor flav. sub roc (r.i.p.). gilbert gottfried. serch's '3rd bass' clipped hair. serch's weird, problematic verse on racism. kmd. zev love x. mf doom. multiple hammer disses.

STEPPIN TO THE A.M.

the intro really sets it off- serch reveals his newly clipped hair and pete nice pokes his head out of a train and throws a dookie rope out the window. 'how you livin hobbes?!?!'

BROOKLYN-QUEENS.

AGAIN. the intro is goddam classic! serch calling pete nice 'coca'... NEwayz, other highlights include mc serch referring to dude as a 'retard sportin a four finger ring'. three is perfect, four is just overkill, dummy. BONUS! this jam includes several racial stereotypes.

bill NYE...

love em. can't get enough of em. i took this right after i had breakfast number two of the day. it followed breakfast number one from earlier that day at the runcible spoon and was preceded by breakfast number three at waffle house the morning of the new year january first twothousandnine.

violence.

ear jordanz.
earRING in 2009 with jordan. you only celebrate new years while 23 once.
