Kanye is bonkers

A message from kwest on Vimeo.

what the hell did any of that gibberish mean? I love Kanye's music but the guy exists in his own universe. its like lizard on acid part 2, except less funny and more depressing

As long as we're in the musical spirit

Girl Talk's main rival, Easter Egg, dropped an album in 2008 that is amazing. I think it might be better than Feed the Animals, though it could just be because I heard Feed the Animals too much. Either way, this is a fantastic album, called Jackin' For Beats, which you can all download here:

Easter Egg - Jackin' For Beats

Outkast makes some great appearances, and some of the same vocal segments Girl Talk uses are in there. Some of the tracks are shorter though, so it really functions best as a full album (Girl Talk has more singles).

These songs are going to smack you in the face

First off, listen to the lyrics of this song and tell me it doesnt remind you of weekend nights at 53 Meadow (it's not included in the zip file so you have to download it separately):
3 Am (Klever Remix)- T!Katz

So I did something different this time. I created an archive of all the songs I am putting below so if you are lazy and don't want to download each song individually, then you can download this zip file and then go through them on your itunes and decide which to keep. I know, I'm too good to you guys.. zip of the following 6 songs


Alternatively, if you wish to sample the merchandise before you download, then here you go:

-2 Cousin Cole Remixes similar to the Drink N My 2 Step remix b lee posted way back this summer:

Good Girls- Wale This one is great.
Throw Some D's- Kanye (Courtesy of Ben Welb)

-This song gets sick in a minute but its weird (aka not in english) at first- trust me give it a minute and you'll love it. B lee- it is right up your ally.
Høre Tell På Jorda (feat. M.O.P.)- Halvdan Sivertsen

-A new soulja boi tell me: girls go wild for this song
Kiss Me Through The Phone- Soulja Boi

-A cool beat featuring Travis from Gym Class Heroes:
Snow Globe- Mic Terror

-And lastly, for my girl Julez "LolzCatz" Tam, a banger that I was too lazy to put up and now the radio beat me and played it but i'm putting it up anyways.
By My Side- Jadakiss

Baron Davis makes a Documentary

Crips and Bloods: Made In America looks like a cool documentary. I thought it would be cool to put this on the blog for all those who don't know about it. Its release is set for Spring 2009, so I'm going to try to keep up on it and let you know when it's released. For now here is the link for the movie with a trailer.

Check it out..

I've Got The Power

Rhythm Is A Dancer

The Killers- Day & Age

I put this online for a friend and decided I might as well throw it on the blog if anyone wants it. It is an awesome album, one of the better ones ive heard in a while although unfortunately its quite short.

DOWNLOAD THAT ISHHH

White Folks Get Crunk

I know some people already know about it, but I recently downloaded a shit-ton of their stuff and I figured I would post some of my favorites. These tracks make people go wild and were probably the reason why we got alcohol strikes last night:

Whatcha Gonna Do x When We Were Young - Kasper K, Sneaky Sound System, Real Juicy

Right Round (Ross.FM's Club Remix) - Flo Rida


Don't Cha Take My Sugar Home - DJ Real Juicy Re-Upped


Get Fresh Poppa - Kid Sister & Notorious BIG


Hypnotize N Nite (DJ Real Juicy Blend) - Plies, Akon & Kid Cudi

And I'll also post my favorite DJ Earworm song for everybody:

Gimme Freaks (Rolling Stones vs Mog) - DJ Earworm

Having one of these would be amazing, it might help me understand myself better.

We have posted some pretty funny and gnarly disasters but I thought it should be done that we show some pretty crazy escapes. My favorite is the yellow motorcycle dude towards the end.

I originally thought Bryce's post was a joke, but sadly enough it's completely serious. I wouldn't even doubt the bottles of the President's blood thing anymore.

Presidents Car

Obama's car is supposed to be the safest car a president has ever been transported in. When I found this illustration with some captions I knew it was blog worthy. Only one window that opens? And only 3 inches so the driver can pay the tolls...the president doesn't even have the power to override toll charges from the highway department.

the thing about being blind is that you can't really see too well...

Juicy Campus

So, I heard of Juicy Campus a while back and never bothered to check it out. Since I have way to much free time during break, I figured I'd explore it. If you've never heard of it, let me explain: it's basically a gossip blog/site where people can anonymously post threads and let people reply. So far, I've seen whole threads devoted to: Jenni Ni, Connor Sullivan, some kid from my high school who you wouldn't know, my friend Jill, and I've also seen a bunch of other names come up within the threads. It's not the best entertainment in the world, but its actually interesting to see whose names pop up.




Oh yeah, if Trish reads this...there was a section there for "Hottest Engineers". Mark Mariano was in there and I couldn't bear to have him in there and not you. You're in there now.

Here is an interesting story coming out of the financial sector that flew below my radar. Big ten pound balls on the head honchos at Porsche. Can you imagine the giddy grins on the faces at Porsche when they went public with their portfolio. Lightweight, baby.

New (old) Girl Talk Songs

This is a girl talk remix of a song by Grizzly Bear called Knife. It was released individually through pitchfork a year ago, but no one i know has ever mentioned it so i guess it's new to us.

also, it's awesome.



Download: Grizzly Bear- Knife (Girl Talk remix)

This other one is not as good in my opinion, but way chiller than more Girl Talk songs so check it out.



Download: Peter Bjorn and John- Let's Call it Off (Girl Talk remix)

Furthermore, Girl Talk also has an collaboration project with Simian Mobile Disco called Trey Told 'Em (myspace page here), which has about 5 songs. My favorite of which is:

I Believe (Trey Told Em remix) - Simian Mobile Disco

Download: UPDATE: FOUND Download Here

Asher Roth

I thought this guy was pretty funny with the first song that I heard from him called I Love College. But when I youtube'd him I came across his A Millie (Remix) which is originally done by Lil' Wayne.

Here is some more information on him if you're interested:

VIBE.com Interview
Wiki Bio

United State of Pop

This guy took the top 25 billboard hits of 2008 and mashed them into a song. Although I wouldn't want to play this at the next party, I thought it was cool and should get some recognition.

The Thesaurus

This is an extremely useful thesaurus James and I wrote for the girls from our hometown for their xmas gift. anyone who has met julia, grace, ricker, or any of the other hoodlums that come to umass every weekend knows that they speak a different language when together, so i thought this would be useful for enhancing communication in future encounters at 53 meadow street. They've all received their gifts so here is the Thesaurus for all to read in electronic format.

Although this is kind of stacked with inside jokes, it should be entertaining no matter what. Here are some definitions to aid those who are less familiar with the ladies: Vicky's- Victoria's Secret, Sparkles- Alyssa's pet name for her mom, goldfished- ate a lot of food, Don's- Mcdonalds,

Let's get into it then...

Editors Patrick Orr and James McGahey Present:

Gurl, This Thesaurus is ssssooo MAZ


Dedicated to our female friends, with whom we’ve shared great memories.

(Read on after the break by clicking "Read More")



Entry 1:
Maz adj. imaginatively derived from the English root, Amazing

How you think you sound: Like a “maz” fashion model on the Tyra Banks Show
How you really sound: Like a 12-year-old who just discovered abbreviations on the way to Hannah Montana on Ice, or the 9:00 showing of Twilight (catching the early showing because your dad has to pick you up at 10)

Use 1: To describe a good time, as in:
Wow that episode of John and Kate Plus 8 was so maz!

Colloquial Alternatives: Amazing, Awesome, (Really) Good, Neat, Great
Formal Alternatives: Extravagant, Brilliant, Fantastic, Prodigious, Marvelous, Exceptional, Phenomenal, Well-crafted, Triumphantly organized
Acceptable example: Tonight’s programming lineup on C-SPAN was triumphantly organized.


Use 2: To describe an article of clothing, as in:
Wow girl, those Vicky’s slippers are maz!

Colloquial Alternatives: Fancy, Nice, Pretty, Beautiful, Gorgeous, Precious
Formal Alternatives: Chic, Elegant, Stylish, Modish, Impressively Adorned, Lavish, Eliciting of high praise
Acceptable example: My oh my, your torso coverings are eliciting of high praises!



Entry 2:
Miz adj. imaginatively derived from the English root, Miserable

How you think you sound: Like a swanky Parisian describing a homeless person, as in: Wow, his coat is miz!
How you really sound: Like that same homeless person, drunk off of a 40 he bought with spare change, trying to describe his life, as in: My ejjucation is miz!


Use 1: To describe unfavorable circumstances, as in:
Girl 1: I have to babysit on New Year’s instead of going to Montreal with all my friends.
Girl 2: Eww, that’s miz!!

Colloquial Alternatives: Stinky, Terrible, Poopy, BS, Miserable, Hogswallop, Unfair, F*#%ed Up
Formal Alternatives: Dire, Unfortunate, Excruciatingly lamentable, Unbearable, Inexcusable, Intolerable, Mournful, Distressingly inconvenient, Utterly macabre

Girl 1: While a trip to Montreal, Quebec for the merriments of the First Night 2009 would be exquisite, unfortunately a family has chartered me to provide parental assistance in exchange for US currency on that very evening.
Girl 2: Goodness me, that is a distressingly inconvenient predicament.


Use 2: To describe a person, or thing that one dislikes, as in:
I wanted to meet you gurls at North Bev Roast Beef, but I had to eat at home. Sparkles was being miz!

Colloquial Alternatives: Annoying, Stupid, A pain in the patoot, Obnoxious, A jerk, A meanie
Formal Alternatives: Parasitic, Insufferable, Unremittingly deplorable, Ignominious, Despicable, Fervently reprehensible, Preposterous, Vexing
Acceptable example: I very much desired to convene with you at said Northern Beverly’s Roast Beef eatery for the aforementioned chicken kabob pita, but my matriarchal figure was in an unremittingly deplorable state.

Acceptable example: I recently partook of an excessive amount of victuals and my abdominals are in a tizzy.


Entry 3:
Mere; Merely adj/adv. Stolen from the English root, mere

How you think you sound: Like a hipster with an inventive vocabulary.
How you really sound: Dumb.

Use: To command emphasis on a specific aspect of an exclamation and inject humor to a sentence otherwise considered normal, often coupled with ‘maz’ or ‘miz’, as in:
Julez, your mere boobs, they’re maz! Or, Ricker, you are merely raping me right now and it’s miz!
Colloquial Alternative: Friggin, Freakin

Editors’ note: After much study of the origins of mere, there is no reasonable evidence of necessity for such excessive and redundant emphasis. Any civil being would refrain from using this sentence structure, as it is indicative of harlots and vapid harridans. Therefore, the only acceptable alternative is to reject its use and embrace descriptors elucidating more meaning and imagery. For example: Julia, I have noticed that your breasts are plump and luscious, and I adore them, or Ricer, you're excessive physical contact is unwarranted and quite uncomfortable.



Entry 4:
Gurl n. Imaginatively derived from the English root, girl

How you think you sound: Like a Lindsay Lohan/Mary Kate Olsen super-queen.
How you really sound: Like a cougar at the local T.G.I Friday’s bar trying relive her glory days of Sex and the City like antics with her menopausal yet oddly tan geriatrics; the “city” of course being Lynn, and the “sex” taking place in the bathroom at Tabu (on Route 1 next to Boston Market).

Use 1: To command another’s attention, as in:
Gurl, wouldn’t it be maz if Verc was black? (direct quote)

Colloquial Alternatives: Hey, Yo, Listen
Formal Alternatives: Excuse me, Pardon, Misses, May I have a chance to command your attention, Would you care to engage with me, Perchance you could direct your careful consideration to my thoughts.
Acceptable example: Would you care to engage with me? You would? Well then, I shall commence with the introduction of my tale.


Use 2: A reaction to convey appreciation, as in:
Girl 1: Ricker is making out with a mere black man in the bathroom.
Girl 2: Gurl!

Colloquial Alternatives: No way, Awesome, Sick, Wow, Holy Moly, Snap, Oh shit, Seriously?
Formal Alternatives: Extraordinary, How about that, Wondrous news, Enticing information, You don’t say, Well I never!
Acceptable example:
Girl 1: Miss Laura Ricker is presently engaging in sexual relations with a gentleman of African-American descent in the washroom.
Girl 2: How about that!


Use 3: Personal pronoun used as a term of endearment, as in:
When are the gurls coming?

Colloquial Alternatives: Girls, Ladies, Bitches, Hoes, Friends, Sisters
Formal Alternatives:Female acquaintances, Compatriots of a shared gender, Comrades, Queens, Esteemed vixens, Guests possessing a vaginal entry point
Acceptable example: " When can we expect the guests possessing a vaginal entry point to join us?"


Editors’ Note: The various uses of Gurl are often combined in an average conversation that is impenetrable to an outside observer, as in:
Girl 1: Gurl?
Girl 2: Gurlllll
Girl 1: Gurll!
Girl 2: OK, that’s maz.*

*Stop doing that.



Afterword:
Be sure to house this handy guide in your purse or back pocket in the event that you cross paths with an esteemed gentleman that has never set foot in the town of Hamilton/Wenham. If you forget our teachings and utter these atrocious words around said gentleman, he will give you a disdainful look, in his mind immediately categorizing you as a floozy. A quick retreat to the annals of this pamphlet can win you back his favor, though you may also need to accompany him to the washroom to seal the deal. Should you choose to ignore the guidance that your dutiful grammarians have so selflessly imparted, please remember one final lesson: thesaurus writers do not make much money so, gurls, we are open to other maz forms of mere “payment.” Or, as we would say: It would be fine and dandy if you esteemed vixens would contrive to compensate your ingenious wordsmiths with bestial and wanton acts should you not possess the means to provide economical restitution for their labor.
