Knuckle draggin' buffet

The 3 best things I saw in the olympics-
1. Bud Keene, droppin' an f-bomb at what I would believe to be the most widely viewed 2 minute period of television in the entire world within the last 4 years.

2. Kazu's mctwist.

Not that one dummy.

Not that one either actually. Couldn't find a clip of the olympic one so that's as close as I could get. If you saw it you know what I'm talking about.

3.This story:
"Japanese snowboarder Kazuhiro Kokubo has been excluded from the opening cermony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. The 21 year-old triggered a storm of criticism from the Japanese public when he appeared at Tokyo's Narita Airport sporting dreadlocks and low-slung trousers... It did not help Kokubo's case when he made light of the incident and said the Games were "nothing special" and "just another snowboarding event." Terje would be proud. PS-Dude is still keepin it real.

oh yeah and I guess some ginger won.

Speaking of mixing "athletics" and snowboarding
Snowboard dunk contest


Laptop snowboard. Some things would be better off left as stoned doodles.

Snowboarder gets stuck on lift, has to burn cash to stay alive.
pretty much the same thing as buying a lift ticket. Except with buying a lift ticket, you have to burn cash to get on the lift, to keep your soul alive. Shaka bro.

M*A*S*H


In case anyone doesn't know about this yet, some dj fellow by the name of Tom Caruana just put out a free album, mashing the Beatles with Wu-Tang. It is so many levels of awesome. Cop it HERE-


For a far more mediocre but somewhat listenable attempt at beatlemashing, check out The Grey Album. Jay Z's black album and the beatles white album, mashed by Danger Mouse.


If you somehow don't know about this yet, it is time.

This is my all time favorite mashup album. Old news, but I want to make sure everyone is on the same page here. Love this shit- Biggie and Sinatra, Blue Eyes meets Bedstuy. I swear to god this album never gets old. Do yourself a favor and get this shit into your ears asap. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that everyone has already heard all of these but I just wanted to put em all in one place for easy downloadin'. If you look around, there are a few more concept mashup albums, but most are not worth your precious time. If are bored enough, check out Gratefully D.E.A.D.(biggie and grateful dead), Jaydiohead (Radiohead and Jay Z), Viva la Hova (Jay Z and Coldplay. I didn't even waste my time with this shit. Just move on.), Beatallica(beatles and metallica mashup cover band) , The Slack Album (Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted x Jay Z) and of course, The Biggie Hendrix Experience (biggie and hendrix. duh.) I'm sure there are more out there but that is pretty much all i've heard about for full mashup concept albums.

And yeah, I know, your friend is a sweet DJ and does this awesome mashup song with linkin park and the jonas brothers, but my friend is better. Trust me. For some hot mashup fire, ladies and gentlemen, allow me introduce Disc Jockey Extraordinaire, DJ ANUBUS. Check him out next time you are in brooklyn. Lots of freebies on his website too.


WUTANG CLAN AIN' NUTTIN TO FUCK WIT'


Feel free to let me know if I missed any.

*Update-
Mos Def over dubstyle beats-

Beastie Boys mashed with... Beastie boys. Hmmm.-

Metal Monday

Monkeys like Metallica. Sure why not.
"A group of cottontop tamarins were played a variety of music, including Bach, Led Zeppelin and Miles Davis, but they only reacted when heavy metal rock songs by Metallica were played."

-Speaking of Metallica, start saving those shekels-
"METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY" I have no words. Epic doesn't begin to express how fucking awesome this is. Biblical perhaps. The 4 horsemen of the Metal Apocalypse. Fuck yeah.

-Lance Armstrong listens to Maiden. And twitters about it

-According to wikipedia, Jim Carrey is a big fan of Cannibal Corpse, and allegedly insisted that the band make a cameo appearance in Ace Ventura:Pet Detective

Remember that?

-If you were to make a Venn diagram of the people who listen to metal, and the people who play harp, you wouldn't expect to see a whole lot of people in the overlapping section outside of rhapsody/nightwish/fantasy metal nerds rocking out in their parents basements surrounded by posters of wizards and piles of pizza crusts and empty mountain dews. This dude is the exception to that rule.

Bad ass.

If you are into the oxymoron that is "harp metal", check out
Harptallica


If you want to go further down the rabbit hole of strange alchemy, take a gander at this curiosity


Seriously. They also have "lullibified" full albums of Pixies, Nirvana, Radiohead, and of course, Metallica.

-Not quite metal, but worth speaking upon: Flaming Lips to remake Dark Side of the Moon with Henry Rollins and Peaches? Did someone just put a list with a bunch of bands, artists and albums in a blender, pull out the first 4 things and decide to go with it?

-For anyone interested in all things black/death/grind/wiggerslam/porngrind/doom/postthrash/various obscure as fuck brootal metal genres and bands/etc, I highly recommend reading the Metal Inquisition blog. It reads something like a cross between the do's and don't's section of vice magazine and perez hilton. But metal as fuck. Hilarious.

-For more black metal evilness, check out the photography of the one and only Peter Beste- Amazing stuff documented from within the black heart of the beast.
True Norwegian Black Metal

Unfortunately, at the time of this post the extensive photo section of his website was down. Google image that shit. Follow that up with the accompanying documentary, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood VBS programming station.

-Before there was a little band called Motörhead, Lemmy was in a more old school Sabbath'y, Pentagram'y psychedelic pre-metal band called Sam Gopal. They put out one CD and it rules.

And yes, that is lemmy singing.

Ever heard of Glen Branca? Some people talk about playing guitar as comparable to making love to a beautiful woman. This is more like raping a crackwhore in a warzone.


In bummer news, Dio was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer. Let us worship and offer virginal sacrifice to the big horned guy downstairs to aid him in a speedy recover.

That's all for now. Go headbang or something.

Apologies to my legions of fans, stalkers, haters, babymommas and people who mistakenly get bounced here from random google searches, blogging has been slow lately but is expected to pick up. Stay tuned. In the mean time, check out the shred city phlog (photoblog)
Hail Satan.
