You Sunk My...



Psuedo beginning of the week action. Still listening to La Casa De Musica. I’ll eventually get to some of the mp threes that I’ve accumulated. It was nice to stumble across a Mandrill cut called Two Sister Mistery. I think the Bomb Squad might’ve sampled it in a P E tune. Uh oh I might’ve violated there by revealing a sample. Oh well heres a gaggle, yeah a gaggle of links and diversions.

Go faster,faster,faster!




Currently listening to a stream of DJ Grooverider with wow I forgot who the mc was. Well you can check it out right here hopefully you have broadband. Link is from [Liquid Funk TV]. Once I finish with that I’ll pop in a casette yeah cassette. And it’s entitled La Casa De Musica put together By DJ Venom and Dek One. Good collection of Latin House! Muy bueno,excelente.


What do you think? Here’s another commentary about the new dress code in the enba


Very intersting [Village Voice] article about the sauce magazine.

Sooner or later you will be able to avoid those lines all together. With the advent of wireless technology you’ll be able to checkout anywhere. As mentioned in this article the line busting technique has been in partial use for some time at Sams. The associate would scan your membership card with a portable scanner,then scan your merchandise while you wait in line. The associate gives you your total and you pay when you reach the cashier. More than likely they’ll move on to the next level as mentioned in the article.


And ladies and gentlemen boys and girls its peanut butter jelly time.

Enjoy...

By The Power Of....


End of the week greatness, did yall enjoy ya Turkey Day. Ours was ok, I posted on that elsewhere. Currently listening to: The African Brothers Meet King Tubby In Dub.You can preview some of the tunes here.Yeah some niceness there. I'm always fiendin for some dub reggae. King Tubby,Augustus Pablo,Mad Professor. And others.

Well yesterday was Black Friday. Did yall make it out there to catch all those bargains? Did yall camp out early and fight those crowds. Were you one of those folks who started the near riot at Wallys? Why is it always at wallys? Sheesh.

No I didn’t take advantage of that madness. Was at the weekend spot running the board for five hours for the talent that was doing a live broadcast at the local mall. Yay five hours straight of xmas music. Man my mind wz destroyed,that’s why the post is going up today and not yesterday. Well at least I made a bit more loot for the next paycheck.

Turkey day was okay, had to break out a new gadget to assist in the roasting of the turkey. Pops asked if I had a thermometer,because there wasn’t a pop up in the turkey. Luckily I did have a digital quick read thermometer,but it wasn’t made to stay in the oven so I had to break out the other thermometer. Yeah this one was much more suited for the task. Plus it has a timer, alarm and magnets. I do believe I saw Alton Brown of Good Eats using this type of thermometer.

The title of todays post was a reference to a cartoon show and an upcoming movie according to [IMDB] the person that is cast as Skeletor is also the same person who played Lexs father in Smallville. But I remember the dude from a role he played earlier, as the devil in a tv show. He mentioned a line like the "Eyes are the window to ones soul" you must shoot their eyes to send them back to me…. Plus the movie is supposedly being directed by John Woo which may add a nice punch.

Right about now I’m checking out the latest DJ Hype set from [Kiss 100], he mentioned that he’ll be guesting in DJ Brockie pretty soon. In other words he’ll be there as a special guest. Currently rockin the Ganjaman cut from Hazard I do believe.

Special belated Happy Turkey Day Greetings to Zombie good lookin on the email. Not sure if I wanna know more about how things are at the store though.

Tomorrows menu is extra special,its soopah ridicko special its….drums please…..Turkey day leftovers. Yeah we break things up a bit and usually have the leftovers on the following Sunday. Later on in the week…hmm not sure. That jerk paste is calling out for some attention.

Of course the Itunes Music Store needs some more stuff,but its a start.

Yesterday was a hella basic menu pasta with meat sauce. Yeah attached the pasta maker to the Stand Mixer. Mixed the dough then..oh wait we don't own a pasta maker and I really didn't want to do the whole Sunday Sauce thingee. Had 9 yardwaste bags of leaves to deal with. Thank goodness for the leaf blower, that was fun! Well here's a partial list of the ingredients: three onions,dry italian seasoning, minced garlc,granulated garlic powder,extra virgin olive oil,crushed red pepper,meat.

End of the week excitement! yeah right. Did the errand thing yestrerday, grabbed our Turkey day supplies. Now I don't have a clue as to what to make for dinner tomorrow. Current listening to a stream of DJ Hype over at kiss100. Started his show of with a drum & bass remix of Outta control. Not bad, heard the same track on Fabio & Groovrider show.

Take a moment to pour a lil somethin out for those who arent here. Click this link for a video tribute to WWE Superstar Eddie Guerrero who passed away this week. Link from [wwe.com]. Also pour a little something out for fearless leader who passed away when a crate of coffee beans...oh wait that didn't happen. ooops Oh well speaking of the wwe.com, looks like they'll be coming to the Dunkin Donuts Center aka the "dunk" for the Armageddon pay per view in December. Wow its been 6 years. The last time I went to a live event was when they used to do the closed circuit thing at different spots. I think it was for a wrestlemania. This was way before cable TV if I remember correctly.

Wind Scar


Yes yes yalll back again wit a post. Currently listening to Drum N Bass Anthems. Yes another import from across the pond. Got it a few years back when it was new. As usual a good listen because it contained the "best old school jungle and Drum N bass beats" I thought that they bothh were the same. Oh well, before that it was Industrial revolutions mxd by The Usual Suspects. Well I figured I listen to hip hop for a bit, and what better way to re immerse onself than to check out an upcoming release. On the horizon the latest from Talib Kweli. Link from [beautifulhustle.com]. On The reggae side Reggae Hits 35 featuring the 10 year old QQ singing a big tune called Poverty. Yes I havent been checking for the other genres for bit since I left the spot.

Repulse The Monkey!




Back after a wee bit of a hiatus from posting. Early morning wake to music compilation was Various Artisits Mix The Vibe Street King mixed by Mondo Grosso. Yeah a # 1 Shinichi Osawa hailing from Japan. The Mix The Vibe Series is put out on King Street records. Nice website btw. Like the color changing options.

Sundays Food Selections

First preheat ya oven. Take a slab of pork ribs,rinse em ,off then pat dry. Grab some paprika,brown sugar,onion powder,cumin,cracked black pepper,granulated garlic,a lil bit of cayenne pepper, and lil salt. Mix together, thats ya dry rub. Pour it on both sides of the ribs and rub in well. Toss in the oven for a 1 millllllion hours....oh wait 1 and a half to two, I went a bit longer to be on the safe side. Towards the end of the cooking time you can slather on a bbq sauce of your liking. Or you can do what I did.... Besides the ribs also did an improvised chicken stew in the oven instead of on the stove. Used some carrots,pre seasoned sliced potatoes (leftover from a batch of home fries,damn pan can only hold so many,but I digress),green onions,vegetable broth,boneless chix breast. For seasonings I used some Mrs. Dash,Allspice,some chicken & rib rub seasoning,a good amoint of garlic powder,and corn starch to help thicken it all. Plus some seasoned rice ( I was wondering what I was going to do with the chix broth)

Speaking of Menus my nephew/godson has already given me his demands/suggestion for Turkey Day. Sheesh I'll post that later this week.

Gotta love the web

Here's an article from [siliconvalley.com] for those of yall who want to get a jump on Black Friday. No not that Black Friday, I mean the day after Thanksgiving Black Friday. Sheesh.

Had to lose myself in laughter for a while so I've been peepin The Cobert Report. Especially liked the episode when he went to the japanese feed. Brilliant! Can't forget about the Daily Show with John Stewart. Def feelin the Back In Black segment with Lewis Black.

Been playin Spot The Mac with Operative 15. Where we take note of Macs in use on TV shows and or commercials,so far I've seen,one in a Cox Communications commercial,on on a cooking show called Epicurious, a cooking show called The Best which can be seen on The Discovery Home Channel.

Turbines to speed...



Uh huh,yeah I fell asleep early but woke up and caught the rebroadcast of The Boondocks. Yeah that was Charlie Murphy's voice and Ed Asner also. Nah Operative 15 tell wifey that the gun thing was a reference to Malcom x. Yeah someone else did the same pose. Na h the theme rap was done by Asheru. But hey 15 there's plenty of spots online for ya info about the show. Yeah I was liking it,was a bit to short though,but i guess they had to get those commercials in there.

Oh hey there didn't see ya, was just talking w Operative 15. Currently listening to Various artsist comp entitled: HVW8 presents Music Is My Art. Some quality stuff on here. Yeah a bit of the downtempo stuff. No it aint drum and bass, figure I give that a rest for a bit. Scroll down this page for a better description. Was also checking out Various Artist Simply Good Music Vol. 1 again.

Szzzzzl you hear that. Thats the sound of the beef portions browning. Here's the ingredient list: Stew beef about 2 pounds,finely chopped onions,finely chopped celery,sliced mushrooms,peeled carrots,frozen green peas,some packets of that instant onion soup mix,flour,various seasonings,pepper,minced garlic granulated garlic. Was going to chop up some potatoes but then I looked in the frig and noticed we had some leftover mashed potatoes, and some green beans. So yesterday dish was beef stew. The mashed potaotes came in handy as a thickening agent. Used about three quarters of the beef the rest was cut into smaller chunks,I'll use that later on this week for something else.

Randomness:
I must have missed this item in the news. But here's an interesting veiwpoint.

Wow so now its causing a rise in crime.Hmmm

So what else can you put on your ipod video?

And its good to see that Lfeelworthy got some pictures up at his spot. He works at a TV station in Hotlanta.

Whoa this one sneaked up on me. So if i wanted the exclusive I would've have to check out beszt buy. Oh Damn gotta remmeber that. But now it should be available everywhere. Then I was seeking more info and I found this article.
I like the picture, plus click on the terrodome link for Chucks latest.



I know my cable company offerening local phone service thing is old news,but now they may be getting into the whole offereng content for cell phones thingee. Oh yeah and check the sidebar article about that particular phone company getting into the music/phone download bizness.

Hmm I have a new movie coming out this week and i need more attention,what can I do? Wow can't wait to here what he has to say about the boondocks.

Oh no say it isn't so making copies of cds may become harder. Oh darn! Much thanks to my brother joe for the forward. Yeah it's an interesting article. Yeah some folks may cry and bemoan the fact but there are ways around,as mentioned in the article. Plus there's always the possibility of coping the bootleg or one of those dreaded mix c's.

Speaking of those dreaded ....Fearless Leader has agreed to settle. Not sure how much he has to pay though. From what an employee was saying to me in an instant message it wasn't that much but he's still complaining. Oh well.

And to answer another one of Hectors questions, I will not throw a brick through the window.

Ok now some random links:
