WacGyver Episode 6: Trumbo's World!

This episode is crazy.  Mac heads deep into the jungle with his good friend Charley to find out what is freaking out the local birds.  Is it a Governor who dresses like a casual Nazi?  Is it Trumbo, a guy who refers to all of his workers as, "My Indians"?

Nope, just a shitload of ants.

The world gets turned upside down when Mac faces his toughest villains yet, an ton of ants.

DJ Snake ft. Lil' Jon - Turn Down for What?!

The anthem of my summer has come. I was on Reddit late Tuesday night and I came across a strange post. A video, by DJ Snake & Lil Jon, Turn Down For What,  that is so infectiously crazy that I couldn't help from dancing or hitting the repeat button.

The vid was up on the web for 2 days but is now set to private. Hopefully, you will get to see it's glory but until then I'll fill you in. The video starts out by flying up on a high rise to reveal a man on the roof. He is grimy, in sweat pants, and about to get wild. The song builds up to the chorus with Lil Jon yelling "Fire up, get loud, and let the body shots!" ((BASS DROP)) "Turn Down For What?!" Then the song goes off. The guy in sweats jumps up and body slams his junk into the floor, crashing through the ceiling and bringing the party at the same time. Crashing through the ceiling begins the turnt up twerk fest. He wildly gyrates in every way, crumping on the couch, and violating the t.v. All the while there is a girl in the room freaking out. She calls the cops and is on the line. Sweatpants dances over grabs the phone and yells "Turn down for what?!" which melts the officers FACE OFF just like the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. THEN he takes the phone and slams it on his junk, disintegrating the phone.

and guess what... that was the first 30 seconds of the video. It only get weirder and wilder from here on.

Lil Jon only says the two phrases but DJ Snake takes over with turntable excellence mixing and scratching over the thick bass line. With all the bass drops in the song and screwed up dance faces in the video I could only expect this song to be a club hit.

Crank it up, get loud, and get nasty because Johnny said so.

WacGyver episode 5

Lovely Ladies of New Zealand

It looks like I need to move to New Zealand.  I love Peter Jackson, Flight of the Conchords, and apparently their high export of female singers.

Primarily, I'm a rock and rap guy, liking mainly mid to extremes of both, and a little of the pop side from time to time.  I'm basically an old curmudgeon who scoffs at the possibility that any music made after 1999 could be better than what came before it.  So I turned into an old guy.  At least I'm aware that it's probably just me.  About 3 years ago, all of that changed.  

February Misses

Welcome to March. It's still cold and snowing, so ain't nothin' new other than this music that I'm about to hit you with. February started off slow. The first few weeks of the month, finding 10 songs that were good enough to post about seemed like a challenge, but around the mid-way point, the ball started rolling and the jams started to be unleashed.

I don't know if it was because of Valentine's Day, but February released a lot of good R&B. This list is very R&B heavy, and that's with me leaving off solid tracks from Alicia Keys and Marsha Ambrosius. The February Misses are also somewhat nostalgic, with homage being paid to Michael Jackson, Anita Baker, The Fugees and Shalamar. Enough talky-talky, go ahead an check out what you missed. You're welcome.
