DIE ANTWOORD EXTREME 2010

Die Antwoord is cracking open the EXTREME 2010 unlike anything else. Pretty much all it needs is to have some kind of Black Metal breakdown in the middle & it would be perfect. I could see the kids here in Eugene, not the cool kids but the general American populace making stuff like this or whatever, anything similar. Brilliant. Amazing. Record out this month.


Die Antwooord seems like the kind of music my characters would make or listen to.

All of this cool ass gear that Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was making in the 60s & 70s is almost overwhelming in its pure awesomeness.

Ass Rape

"There are no bigger assholes than left-wing intellectuals. I mean this in terms of the ability to reason logically—and I’m especially talking about the postwar left. Think about it: You work in a factory or in the fields and make a shit wage and break your back every day. You wake up every morning and you take it in the ass. And while you’re working, you feel—you know—that you are taking it up the ass for a few cents. Then, after a whole day of being fucked up your ass, you go home and what? You read a paper that outlines precisely all the ways in which you have been fucked up the ass! A paper that says, “You thought you were taking it up the ass? No, you ignorant, illiterate laborer, let me open your eyes! Read here, I’ll tell you precisely all the other ways you have been taking it up the ass. Ways that you didn’t even know about. You thought you were taking it up to your guts, but no, comrade, you are taking it up to the back of your throat!” These papers were, in theory, distributed internally. This means that the same laborers who were reading about being fucked up the ass should—in their free time—pick up a bunch of these magazines, hide them in their clothes, and—risking a fine, or even their job—go and inform their fellow laborers and comrades about their repeated classwide ass-raping."
From an interview with Ando Gilardi in Vice.
What's interesting is that as the libertarian faction has grown in this country, the same mentality about showing the ass raping is very present. This is basically the theme of the Alex Jones show, which does get very tiring in terms of the volume of information presented about the myriad ways in which we are screwed, minus the class organizational elements of course.

Friends say goodbye to Coney Island strongman Joe Rollino

BY MATTHEW LYSIAK from the Daily News
A former Coney Island strongman killed by a minivan at the age of 104 was laid to rest Saturday by friends and family who spared no superlative in describing his life. "Joe Rollino wasn't just a man, he was an irreplaceable fixture of South Brooklyn for over a century," friend Gino Longo, 42, said at St. Bernadette Church in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. "They just don't make men like Joe Rollino anymore. God broke the mold." Rollino - war veteran, boxer, weightlifter and all-around Brooklyn legend - was crossing Bay Ridge Parkway to buy a newspaper last week when he was struck and killed by a Ford Windstar van. "Father time didn't stand a chance against Joe Rollino. It took all the speed and might of a minivan, and I'm shocked that that was even able to take him down," said Charlie Laird, 65, a retired bus operator from Bensonhurst. "Joe Rollino made Jack LaLanne look feeble." Rollino billed himself the Strongest Man in the World and boasted that he had lifted 450 pounds with his teeth. "At the age of 7, Joe Rollino could lift 250 pounds of dead weight," said Pete Spanakos, a boxing journalist who knew him for more than 60 years. He served in the Pacific during World War II and proudly wore a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. "Joe Rollino braved enemy fire to carry his injured brothers out of harm's way," Spanakos said. "He carried them back and forth, two men on each arm." And then there was the day Rollino confronted Adolf Hitler. "Joe Rollino knew six languages. When he went to the Olympics in Berlin as an adviser, he cursed out Hitler in German," said Spanakos. "He almost got arrested." Pals said his strength barely waned as the decades went by. "I saw the man break a quarter in half with his bare hands - and that was on his 103rd birthday," said Bob Liquari, 71, of Bensonhurst. "For years, I wouldn't believe his age. Joe Rollino took no meds. He never wore a hearing aid. He died in his prime," said Joe Abbenda, 70, a friend and former Mr. America 1962.

NO GNUS IS GOOD GNUS

The news. A combination of actual information & propaganda spun into an entertainment form in the guise of an altruistic "what's happening". Your news anchors or journalists should ultimately not matter because the information is what's important, right? As long as it's clear & correct. And yet, the news is an entertainment medium & so, you need to have entertaining news characters. I suggest that the most entertaining news anchors would be entirely fabricated characters like Max Headroom, Gary Gnu & the Muppet News Flash guy. This way you cut to the chase & accept that they are just talking heads & puppets of whoever is paying them. You can also then polish them up into perfect entertainment icons. Imagine if Rush Limbaugh, instead of being an "actual human" was instead a puppet, a caricature of whatever sort of personality they wanted to present. Of course, some people take themselves too seriously & are so dour & cold-hearted that they can't let themselves be entertained by an "actual puppet", so instead, they prefer a half human, half puppet hybrid in characters like Glen Beck & Keith Olbermann.

Chuck D famously called rap "The Black CNN", which is about as absurd of an idea as anyone could have & yet & yet, imagine if CNN was like this...
Which explains FOX news.

THE LOST, LOST RAP: Mario Bros Super Show!

The Lost, Lost Rap Returns! I got a disk of the Super Mario Bros Super Show for my sons this Hanuka & was transported back into the world of 1989. The rap on this intro is great. You can memorize it after just a couple listens which is the sign of a "good" rap or jingle or anything. Also, the cartoon is produced in America by DiC which is kind of surprising given they probably could've just converted a Japanese Mario cartoon (not sure if they had one by that time).

The end credits are awesome too featuring Captain Lou Albano (god rest his soul) 'DOIN' THE MARIO'.

The show enters into the classic language of kid's shows by having a cartoon hosted by live segments. Get a clue TV producer people! Here's Mario & Luigi with famous break-dancer Shabba Doo.
