For all you Mc's out there, you need not worry, we won't judge you. Just don't paint your baby's toe nails florescent pink for their christening. Own it and paint them green with gold flecks.

Pharoahe Monch - "Clap (one day)" Extended Music Video + W.A.R.

I have never been that high on Pharoahe Monch, but I do appreciate when an artist surprises me with solid material.
"Clap" is off of Pharoahe's latest release W.A.R. of which is a solid output when I consider my previous encounterings with the MC.. I am going to start with the video that first sparked my interest in the album and then build from there sonically. Hopefully a career of hype can finally begin to pan out.

A few selected songs from We Are Renegades:

Muliebrity . . .

. . . . . at it's best, so that hopefully you won't be totally grossed out by my last post and the teenage boy lurking around inside me. I'm still a lady who likes a good picnic in the sun, grass blade tunes, unicorns, origami, and pretty birds.


Oh, and live Japanese puppies.

Bop!

David Stern (NBA Commissioner) Fixes the 1985 NBA Draft

After watching the following video, I have little doubt that the NBA commissioner David Stern would not hesitate to help ensure the "success" of the NBA via illegitimate means if he deemed it righteous and worthy (of course in compliance with his own twisted sense of justice). Most major sports have their shady dealings and stories, what bothers me is that the man who runs the NBA has been allowed to do so for such a long time, he helped take away NBA basketball from the city of Seattle (a whole other travesty) even though he claims to want to protect NBA franchises, thus allowing them to flourish in healthy NBA cities (Seattle had a Championship and a healthy fan base). The mind cannot help but wander into the depths with which David Stern has hinder other, smaller franchises, in the name of "growth" for the NBA. Booo to David Stern, a corrupt individual on the day that marks the beginning of the NBA Finals (which nonetheless should be exciting).

Gasp!

"What the NBA doesn't want you to know -

In this version of the video I cut out all the crap and cut straight to the fix.

00:00 - Jack Wagner is instructed to "gingerly" place the seven envelopes into the drum. The fourth envelope he holds contains the NY Knicks logo. The material of this envelope is much flimsier than the rest.

00:06 Wagner slams it against the side of the drum, much differently than the way he places the other six envelopes into the drum, visibly bending the corner. He has likely practiced this dozens of times to ensure he can bend the corner on cue when the time comes

00:25 The drum is rotated several times to mix the envelopes. Sterns eyes are intently searching for the Knicks envelope the entire time

00:38 Stern unlocks the drum himself, taking time to look through the drum and try to find the envelope. It is no coincidence that Stern unlocks the drum himself. This gives him valuable seconds to examine the contents. Before reaching in he takes in a deep breath. He spots it. Luckily the bent corner is sticking straight up in the air when the drum stops, however he sees that two other envelopes are laid on top of it

00:45 Stern wades through the envelopes of the likes of Sacramento and Golden State, to find the bent envelope of New York and complete his magic trick in front of a dimwitted audience of writers giddy at the newborn concept of the draft lottery. In his head Stern is surely a nervous wreck, and possibly seems a little shrill by the awkward way he is forced to grab the envelope by the way it is covered. He flips the envelope upside-down, perhaps to hide the bent corner the best he can from the cameras closeup view

00:48/00:49 Pause the video here. David Stern is clearly looking at the bent corner as he flattens it with his thumb as best he can

00:50 Watch Sterns LEFT HAND very carefully. This is the part you couldnt see in the old Youtube video. Watch him stroke the corner with his index finger repeatedly, over and over, attepting to straighten it out, as he holds the envelope up high for the world to see. Clearly he is trying the smooth out the overly bent corner.



The rest of the video is history as Debusshere celebrates and holds up the #33 Ewing jersey that we would become so familiar with for the next 15 years. Though a championship never came out of it, it enabled New York back into playoff contendership after the career ending injury of Bernard King, and led to the massive streak of sold out games at Madison Square Garden throughout the 1990's and 2000."

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band - More Than Complicated

"Preservation Hall is located in the French Quarter, just three blocks from the Mississippi River. The Hall has served many functions over the years. Originally built as a private residence in 1750, the hall has evolved into a tavern, inn, photo studio and an art gallery. The inside of the hall contains portraits of the musicians who first filled it with the beautiful sounds of New Orleans Jazz.

Preservation Hall opened its doors in 1961. The hall was created as a sanctuary, to protect and honor New Orleans Jazz which had lost much of its popularity to modern jazz and rock n roll. Allan and Sandra Jaffe, the hall's founders, wanted a place where New Orleans musicians could play New Orleans Jazz, a style, they believed, should not disappear.

Today, over 40 years later, the hall is still going strong. On any given night, the hall is filled to capacity with people eager to hear New Orleans jazz played by veteran musicians in their 70's and 80's and younger musicians learning and embracing music that is both sweet and very beautiful." - PreservationHall.com

Props to Todd for the video feed.
Via Youtube: Originally written by Ray Davies of the Kinks, [Complicated] is performed by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band featuring Clint Maedgen on vocals. Filmed mid-2005, this music video features Clint Maedgen, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and a guest appearance by the New Orleans Bingo! Show.

Also be sure to check out the photo gallery on the Preservation Hall webpage as there are some gems.

Here are a few selected songs by the ever changing Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The Sweet Emma is a good one, tough to track down though, so if you come across it, hold onto it as it may be awhile before you see another one. Enjoy the beauty of New Orleans Jazz!

Like Mother Like Daughter

Maybe mommy is the one with the issues? 

Maybe mommy and daddy need to believe in their daughter, 

maybe then she will believe in herself

or maybe mommy and daddy need to talk with their daughter

and maybe better understand her, thus minimizing their fears

or maybe mommy and daddy need not be so critical of their daughter
and allow her to become a mature young lady

or maybe their daughter is just a psychopath.
in either case I say,

Good luck young lady.
