^_^ k thx bai!

it's the mutha fuckin remix

i was given the challenge of remixing nine inch nails. so i did.

here is the original.

here is the remix.

the song is called "god given".

thank you.

because you forgot all the french you learned from those "muzzy" videos

now i know we're supposed to hate france and all that because we're america, but i just can't, goddamnit.

they gave us michel gondry

they have terribly attractive news anchors (her name is melissa theuriau and yes i am married to her)

but besides all of that, they also give us great music:

hocus pocus - j'attends
hocus pocus - j'attends (remix)




















mathieu boogaerts - bon bon















hugo - fouille toi
















dick annegarn - coutances

you might say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one

as many of you probably don't know, i have recently been trying to scrap together the necessary elements i need to start production on my ambitious j dilla documentary project. besides the inherent difficulty of beginning any particular project, there is also the overwhelming difficulty of having to tackle the costs of music and video licensing. here is the email received from stones throw records about my project inquiry:

Thanks for the reaching out. I can tell your passionate about what you’re doing.

There’s a couple parties interesting in a similar movie but thus far nothing has happened. Once you start to think about all the complications involving rights to video and music, and access to video (dilla was not often on camera) you can imagine what a difficult project it shapes up to be. Add to this the fact that dilla’s estate is still working to get it’s business in order – very complicated behind the scenes.

We can’t offer help to your project, especially based on a single email, but keep us updated.


Thank you

Jeff Jank

although the email was disheartening to an eager and naive college student, it just became clear that this was something i was going to have to work for. i'm trying to raise a rediculous amount of money somehow and these are the only ideas i've come up with so far:

- planning large themed events in san rafael
- investing (...)
- planning a concert
- t-shirts??

so clearly none of those are very good (but i might plan an event, because that sounds so awesome).

if you have any ideas, let me know.

for information on my investment, i give you these:

J Dilla - Crushin (Yeeaaah)
Common - The Light (produced by J Dilla)

florida state of mind

everything is officially up and running over here at college, so "cowboys & indians" is back in business.

first and foremost, i'd like to bring the following items to your attention:

1. this court case is absolutely rediculous
(support the chungs or read more about their case here)
2. artist dan witz is a genius
3. the new p.t. anderson film, "there will be blood", has a brief trailer available here
4. in nairobi, the capital city of kenya, a group of 25 impoverished prostitutes appear to have a natural immunity to the HIV virus

okay.

so i'm all moved in and am hopefully going to begin working on the next episode of "wyoming".

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO IN COLLEGE:

The Blow - Parenthesis (Rory Phillips Remix

A Tribe Called Quest - The Jam (Consequence Remix)

Wilco - Please Be Patient With Me

out

i'll make yall eat "top ramen", while i eat shrimp

now, many of my readers are 80's babies who probably skipped over "Yo! MTV Raps" in the 90's to catch "Hey Dude!" on nickelodeon.

so, tonight I offer you some of the grimiest, raw rap videos that you probably never saw.

"Tried By 12" - East Flatbush Project


"Bonita Applebum" - A Tribe Called Quest


"Straight Outta Compton" - N.W.A.


"Jump" - Kriss Kross


"Parents Just Don't Understand" - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince


"Fight For Your Right" - Beastie Boys


"Follow the Leader" - Erik B. & Rakim


"360 Degrees" - Grand Puba


"They Reminisce Over You (TROY)" - Pete Rock & CL Smooth

i heard a very beautiful song today

it's hard to understand but it is still beautiful

sherlock holmes, eat your heart out

If you think about it, a lot people are looking for a lot of things...



some people are looking for true love

and some people are just searchin for some pussy

just about everyone i know is looking for the truth

and you'd be suprised who is looking to hold you right now

plus you gotta figure we're all looking for a journey to anywhere

but whatever you're looking for - you can probably find it in hip hop. hooray.
