Working out most every day & watching what I eat

Did you know that then San Fransisco 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott sang backup vocals on the '86 album version of "Hip to Be Square"? Yup.

And there goes 50% of my worldly knowledge about football. Ups to Gizmo.

Passages from Wikipedia's entry on Marvel superhero Wolverine that are all the more fantastic when applied to Tony-nominated actor/singer/dancer Ben Vereen

Ben Vereen's agility and reflexes are enhanced to levels that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete.

During his time in Japan and other countries, Ben Vereen became an expert of virtually all forms of martial arts and is familiar with and experienced in virtually every fighting style on Earth.

Ben Vereen is frequently depicted as a gruff loner.

Ben Vereen is able to use his sense of smell to track targets by scent, even if the scent has been eroded somewhat over time by natural factors.

Ben Vereen's mind is highly resistant to telepathic assault and probing.

Ben Vereen's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert and the thickness of the substance.

Ben Vereen will sometimes lapse into a "berserker rage" while in close combat.

Stories gradually establish Ben Vereen's murky past and unstable nature, which he battles to keep in check.

After his return to the X-Men, Cable's son Genesis kidnapped Ben Vereen and attempted to re-bond adamantium to his skeleton. This was unsuccessful and caused Ben Vereen's mutation to accelerate out of control. He was temporarily changed into a semi-sentient beast-like form in which he gained greater physical power than ever before, at the price of part of his humanity; he killed Genesis shortly after this occurred.

In contrast to his brutish nature, Ben Vereen is actually extremely intelligent.

Bicoastal Superjamz! Santogold does Zion I!

Shit, y'know, even I go back on forth on how I feel about Santogold sometimes. But she can get East Coast kids to finally listen to Zion I independent of the Rainydayz mixtape, I just found my new hero.

A good start:

Zion I - One (Santogold Starstruck Remix)

Hellz Yeah! Fresh mc chris Remixes! x2!

Or fresh to me, at least. I was late on the draw picking up this year's mc chris is dead LP - remember, the boys from Cracked Out killed him dead- and though a largely cleaner (mature?) disk than 2006's Dungeon Master of Ceremonies, the album still manages to rock more ridiculous hooks than the chains on Spawn's cape.

I actually found chris' brandie-new MIA remix by odd chance while poking around for a live version of The Clash's "Straight to Hell" this past week, and admitted fan though I am, originality of flow alone makes this track ten times the jam most of the musical Hamburger Helper fleshing out Interscope's Kala re-release could ever hope to be.

Give a spin below, along with a downright adorable chiptune re-up of album standout "Nrrrd Grrrl". (And buy a hard copy of mc chris is dead via that link right there, the physical release has got a fistful of essentials not available on iTunes.)

We're Tiga and Bunny and we like the boom

If folk would just acknowledge L'Trimm a both a hugely unappreciated influencer in the Miami bass scene and an all around awesome crew, I could move on with my life and focus on doing my very best to get Tigra back with Bunny D so she doesn't have to pen any more Goddamn Pinkberry jingles.

That Kid Cudi track is fuckin' everywhere this month, right? Good on you, Corporation.

Rhonda, WCLiaC, & Daddy - Free! Tonight 11/14!

You know, just because it's payday doesn't mean you should throw down your ill gotten loot to see some terrific comedy tonight. The boys of We Can't Live in a Cave are playing w/ Rhonda & Daddy this very evening in a super secret basement show at the only spot worth drinking at in midtown, the Triple Crown!

All gets on @ 9 pm, 330 7th Ave at 28th St. $4.00 drafts.

No cover. No hate. No druthers.

(No date.)

Hotness! Pomatic's Ne-Yo vs. Chromeo!

Who knew "Contemporary Top 40 R&B" plus "Canadian Electrofunk" would equal "Pre- Babyface/LA Reid Arista Records caliber smooveness"?

Listening to "100% Closer", I feel like I'm in that scene from Ghostbusters when Ray and Winston are talking about about Armageddon while driving over the Brooklyn Bridge right before nightfall, but instead of prepping to face an impending paranormal crisis, I'm prepping to face crazy boning like, all night. One of Three tracks off Pomatic's fresh Ne-Yo mash EP.

Sorry fer' the nothing all week. I am life busy and blog lazy. Fresh jams coming this PM, comics & more this weekend.

C'mon internet, show us the love like you always do @ Funny or Die.

France's ElectroSound takes Gossip around th' World!

Y'know, if folk would fucking quit using that picture of Beth Ditto literally putting her foot in her mouth, I feel that Gossip haters would little ammo left for tooling on one of the better sorta-mainstream bands out of Washington in ages. I mean, since when has rock music only been about having a shitty attitude?*

With a dose of Nicky Van She and Dangerous Dan's "Around the World (Like Whoa! Remix)", ElectroSound of France serves up "Gossip Around the World Again", a fist pumping coda to a week that saw America proudly sober up from the Governmental K-Hole of these last eight years by electing a collected, left of center black man as our president, and in the same fell swoop, saw one of it's more liberal states say "JK about that wedding thing, homos".

For crazy days, crazy jams:
