A remixed movie trailer, re-imagining “Mary Poppins” as a horror film: Fucking Brilliant.
Yule Pajama Party!
If you can see this, you’re invited. Friday, December 22nd, 8 pm until whenever.
Just like the post-wedding gathering, the dress code is extremely relaxed. No getting dolled up in your holiday best. Fuck a bunch of that. This is for hanging around and relaxing with friends —so break out the flannels, the sweats and the PJs.
I mean, come on — curling up near a Xmas tree in your PJs. How perfect is that? We can bust out the hot buttered rum, Xmas cookies, etc.
If we can help eachother get through the holidays without slaughtering random strangers or members of our families, then so much the better, right?
Hope to see you there.
Friday Music
OK, the Bond film is out, Thanksgiving is over, and we now return to the standard mix-tape format of Friday Music:
First, though, one last quick bit of Bondage (heh) for
I hit the soul motherload this week — I picked up four double-CD compilations from the UK called “Blaxploitation: Soul, Jazz & Funk from the Inner City”, which , despite the title, are not just tracks from blaxploitation films, but a fantastic general sampler of early-to-mid-70s urban music. Really excellent stuff. Some really great album cover art, too. Anyway, here’s a good track from Vol. 2: Bill Withers – “Use Me.”
Found another great mash-up. The UK’s Go Home Productions mixed AC-DC’s “Back In Black” with Queen’s “We Will Rock You” — along with a bit of Outkast and more. GHP – “Rock in Black”
Some sweeping epic electronica from the latest album, Intercept! by UK electronica duo Bent: Bent – “Exercise 7”
Ramallah Underground is an artists collective based in Ramallah and Palestine, featuring hip-hop and electronic musicians, artists and photographers. They’ve been recently playing gigs all over the world, and demonstrating that art is still possible even in war. Here is a nifty track by Stormtrap, one of the founders of the group: Stormtrap – “Areeb il Shar.”
I’d like to say that this is for
A lot of you have heard this one, I’m sure — but I know that a couple of you have wanted to grab a copy, so here it is — the brilliant cover of “Comfortably Numb” done by Scissor Sisters on their first album, which re-imagines the song as a disco tune by the Bee-Gees. Scissor Sisters – “Comfortably Numb.”
Lastly — as some of you know: As of today, I have ended my consulting contract with RPGNow, which means that I no longer assist them with customer service emails. I am free to focus on my own business, and no longer have to tip-toe around my fellow publishers for fear of reflecting poorly upon RPGNow. In tribute to this liberation, I post the following: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – “Bad Reputation.”
Aw yeah. Bring it on, bitches. :)
