Drop the world and...

listen to SLAYER! I love these great live recordings. Probably my favorite slayer release ever! Normally I'm not really into live sets but this is great!! Check it out (if you haven't all ready)!!

Drop the world is another leaked song by Lil Wayne Feat. Eminem of his yet again post-poned album "Rebirth". Although some people got lucky an received a pre-order yesterday due to a mistake by Amzon.com. Google it for the full story. So if we're lucky the album is already up for illegal download on the world wide web. But back to "drop the world", great song if you ask me, catchy beat and interesting verses laid down by both artists. I'm pretty siked for rebirth since i really digged both official and unofficial singles for Rebirth, even the ones that didn't make the final cut like "Hot Revolover".

Im getting dressed like I belong on TV

The Ontological Paradox

I recently saw Donnie Darko for like the twentieth time and i must admit I love movies/stories based on time travel like The Terminator Trilogy, Back To The Future Trilogy and the one I already named. These movies and a general interest in the science/philosophy behind time-travel made me think about how these story arcs come to effect and how nicely they are created and what makes them initially possible, if time-travel would be possible. Most of these arcs are build around the theory of the "ontological paradox" shortly explained as the time-traveler not changing the future but simply being part of history by creating a consistent loop. Like if the machines in Terminator wouldn't have travelled back in time to kill John Connor before he was born then Kyle Reese wouldn't have travelled to the eighties and would never impregnated Sarah Connor. So the machine traveling back isn't traveling back to change history just to play it's part in history, by not only helping a hand in the conceiving of John Connor, but also by providing the initial chip on which skynet is created. So lets put things together and add some science. Machine travels back creating the blueprint for Skynet and causing the time travel of Kyle Reese causing the birth of John Connor who rebels against Skynet causing the machine to travel back in time. Since beginning and end are the same we conclude that these events are part of a loop, a consistent loop that is. If time-traveling was possible the only loops created would be consistent because a time traveler attempting to alter the past in this model, intentionally or not, would only be fulfilling his role in creating history and not changing it. The Novikov self-consistency principle proposes that contradictory causal loops (like the son travelling back to kill his father before he was conceived) cannot form, but that consistent ones can. We can find similar examples in the other movies mentioned, Heroes, comicbooks or within the terminator trilogy itself. Think about it!

AVATAR

Next week we welcome James Cameron's Avatar in Belgian theatres! Pretty stoked on this one since James Cameron is the mastermind behind some of my all-time fav movies like Terminator, T2, The Abyss and Aliens. Cameron is also working on an adaptation of Battle Angel and will produce trilogies for both his new projects if the first one gets picked up by the audience.

NEMESIS DIVINA

Last few posts were all about crunk muzik so now it's time for some True Norwegian Black Metal. I have always enjoyed the rustling sounds of Burzum's "Filosofem" or Mount Eerie's "Wind's Poem" and had a love for metal in general. With this in mind i headed out to Satyricon playing Hof Ter Loo yesterday. Got there in time of the second band that didn't convince me at all. The band playing next was The Shining (or Shining not sure), fairly entertaining show with a front man as deranged as Neglect's Brian. Finally Satyricon took the stage. Since I only listened to the norwegians last album called "Age Of Nero" I didn't know all too much of the songs they played. It was a very energetic and theatrical show which kept it interesting for the entire hour and a half they preformed. Satyr is definitely an extraordinary songwriter and frontman. Shout outs to Gert and Satyr for the great night and Stief for the ticket! Now I'm checking out one of their other sophomore albums titled "Nemesis Divina".

To wrap things up: rolled out to some very favorable Rise And Fall shows last week, copped some Clarks Desert Boots (Ebony Dark) and I am also checking out the new Blacklisted record "No one deserves to be here more than me" as we speak.

More to come!!

War Machine/Iron Man

Pretty siked about this follow up!!

BLING BLING

A young lil wayne inventing some hiphop vocabulary: "bling bling".

30 MINUTES TO NEW ORLEANS!!

The Carter Documentary dropped this week, check it out! I heard from lots of people with different opinions on Weezy they really enjoyed it so don't be a little arty farty bitch and go check it out. It's an honest and sometimes confronting piece of film that helps us get in the mind and world of one of the greatest icons of the current state of hiphop and music in general.

In the movie we hear an amazing verse of a yet unreleased song that has been recorded for several years. The song is called "30 Minutes to New Orleans". Check it out below:

FREE GUCCI!

Next to Weezy F. we will also have to miss Gucci Mane for a year... Gucci's latest effort (ironically called The State vs. Radric Davis) is dropping december 8th same date as the new Clipse LP. The three singles released up to now get me very siked about this release.

Birdman's Pricele$$ LP was supposed to hit the shelves in a couple of days november 23th to be precise, but it all ready got leaked on the web. It contains 13 tracks of pure Ca$h Money energy, guests include most notably Weezy (off course), T-pain, Kevin Rudolf and Drake. It's nice to hear Drake on a couple of tracks, the track with Rudolf is a legit clubbanger with a slight electro touch to it. It's a legit Birdman record, kinda at the same level as 5* stunna but with a significant '09 vibe to it and no skits but that shit don't matter.

Free GUCCI! Free WEEZY!!!

The casket is about to drop!

Spot the polo gear!!!

Swimming in Polo, sleeping in Jordans.

it's been ages since I blogged, i'm kinda lazy but this is what I have been enjoying/surviving: LIL WAYNE@Amsterdam, Pentagram@Tilburg Stomach flu@Noxx, Lily Allen@Antwerp, Arctic Monkeys@Antwerp, Swine Flu@Mtown/thejungle, Mozzer@Lille, Breakdown@Antwerp, Mozzer@Brussels! ALL great shows. Lousy update, I know, but hey niggaa gotta crunk it up!

Listen to NO CEILINGS!

sound like Twista fast as hell

This is a video for a song by Ed Banger artist Uffie called Pop The Glock. The song has been around for a while, but the vid is pretty new. Part of the upcomming album promo I guess.

ROTH BOYS

Wandering around on youtube made me stumble onto this Asher Roth vid. It's a music video for a song from "The Greenhouse Effect Mixtape". Instrumentals originally from HOV's "Roc Boys"(get it roc boys... roth boys). It has been out for quite a while but since shit's wild I might as well put it up.

How to make it in America.

Kid Cudi announced that he will have a lead role in the upcoming comedy series called "How to make it in America", produced by Mark Wahlberg. It's supposed to be like Entourage but set at the eastcoast! This HBO project is about two up-and-comers in their 20's living in New York City and striving to achieve the American dream. Pretty siked about this!!

Listen to Man on the Moon: The end of the day!

Playlist of the day (so far):

Maximum Penalty - Life & times
Leeway - Born to expire
Madball - Set it off
Farside - The monroe doctrine
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
KiD CuDI - Man on the moon: The End of the Day

More than a game.

Drake, Weezy, Yeezy and Shady want this shit forever.

The Simple Life

Today could best be described as just simple. Simple is a good thing. I was supposed to head out to Dinosaur Jr but since the show was already sold out I ended up going to a Rise And Fall show in Bruges. My boy Kevin picked me up around 5pm we headed out to his place to grab some dinner and wait for his girl Sanne. We had a home-made italian dish for dinner prepped by my the mister and misses of the house and headed out to the show. Got there around 9. Had some talks about sneakers, Mozzer, sudden crimewaves in Ghent and watched Rise And Fall. Enjoyable set! Check out their new record. Later on I got some yoghurt at the "Vooruit". We finally wrapped things up around 1am and now five hours later i'm still up and awake. Listening to some Mobb Deep, Farside, Youth Of Today and Mastodon and browsing the net for useless information about vintage polo gear, comicbooks and Lil Wayne trivia. I love things that don't lead up to anything big. I hate maturing up. I like simple.

Good for nothing is what my life has been

Never forget many a truth is said in jest.

FACTS 2009

For all you fanboys and enthusiasts outthere! Hope to find my some nice Mighty Muggs. Too bad my boy Crunkswagger has to pass on this one for being on tour with Rise And Fall!

Peace!

But they all didn't see the little bit of sadness in me.

Yo whats good these days?

New KiD CuDi record Man On The Moon: The End Of The Day is pretty sweet. It has this cinematic approach to it. Verry favorable! Didn't like it rightaway but once I got in the vibe I definitly had to put this on my list of 2009s greatest recs. Blueprint 3 and OB4CL2 didn't meet up to my expectations.

Couple of weeks back I headed out to woods once more for Pukkelpop. Saw (and liked) Dinosaur Jr, 50cent, Life Of Agony and The Arctic Monkeys. Probably catching Dinosaur Jr at Leffinge Leure festival this saturday. I also managed to peep RZL DZL and War Hungry twice past few weeks. Once in Trix, Antwerp and Light In The Dark-fest, Germany. Love both bands. RZL DZL has some of the best imagery for their records (courtesy of thetok) and is like this partycore band that reminds me of the Beastie Boys in a way. New 7" coming up! War Hungry play a more heavy style of hardcore, I especially like the last 7" and the split they did with Cold World. Currently writing an LP. Check them both out on Myspace!

Pre-ordered the upcoming Rise And Fall record Our Circle Is Vicious at Deathwish Records today. Cool thing is you can instantly download the record once you've ordered it. Record is amazing, check it out!

Breakdown is playing at Trix, Antwerp november, 13th. Siked!

Oh and Inglourious Basterds kicked ass!

When the money goes...

Great joint by HOV and Fab.

Nappy Boy

Everyday is my day

Don't know if this post and the previous are correlated but I've been listening some serious amounts of black music lately too. Just to mention a few: Birdman, Weezy, T-pain, Fabolous, The-Dream, Young Jeezy, Jim Jones...

Fabolous latest effort Loso's Way is a musical interpretation of Carlito's Way starring Al Pacino. Kinda like Jay Z did with American Gangster. Lots of smooth bangers. Good record if you ask me. Record is out on Def Jam and has featurings by fellow BK warrior HOV, rnb gorilla The-Dream, The Birdman Jr aka Lil Wayne and many more.

No corner left behind (The Wire Spoiler Alert)

Being ill and all gave me the opportunity to catch up with The Wire. This ain't a police show or a crime show. It's just real life drama, no good or bad. Just people with their own motives and problems. I tend to get a bit carried away when I really get into a show. For instance I cheered for Carcetti, got sad when String and Avon fell apart, enjoyed Carver growing as both police and man, had some laughs with the Bunk or Herc, I even felt sorry for the late Bodie Broadus and I surely respected Frank Sobotka. Yeah, I came to love and hate the characters in The Wire like the where real-life peeps. What I'm trying to say is, you ain't gotta watch The Wire but live it.

K.R.E.A.M.

Kicks rule everything around me.

Two noteable kicks I recently copped where the J III True Blue and the blue OG air max 87.

To wrap it up check out this scoop I stole from hypebeast:

With many rumors swirling around Kanye West’s latest product design venture including a capsule for GAP, add this one to the list as sources state that Yeezy’s in line to put the colors to his own Air Jordan. Few details are available but stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
“According to a pretty well placed source, Kanye is negotiating to design a limited edition pair of Nike Air Jordan’s. The insider claims that negotiations are still early, but that both sides are excited about working out a deal.” – mediatakeout.com

LIFE

Last weeks life has been quite good to me. Lots of quality hang-outs, shows (some better than others), sushi, The Wire, mussels, Secrets of the World and Air Jordan III True Blue.

While I'm sick let me give you an update about what's been up:

Last thing I mentioned during my ramblings was that Crank movie. Earlier that week I catched The Mongloïds in Mol. Decent show, good location, nice hang-out. Copped a Mongloids tee. The one with the J's.

Next up was the Cold World weekend. Like I mentioned earlier Wilkes-barre's hardcore outfit Cold World came over to play three shows in Germany. I missed out on the first in Hamburg, but managed to tag along for the following two. Second was in Essen. Don't like the location that much, but the atmosphere was good that day (although it seemed right-wing skins where starting some ruckus outside). One of the highlights that day was the unnanounced Justice set right before Cold World. Other noteable bands playing where True Colors, Rhythm To The Madness & Dirty Money. Here's a vid shot at that show.

Last of the three shows was in Rosswein. Verry cool venue. Hard-ass show. Too bad there wasn't any Coca-Cola in the wide surroundings. Saw RTTM, True Colors, Dirty Money & Cold World kill it for the second night in a row. Shit was loud. Good hangouts too. Hands down one of the best weekends ever. Special thanks to my friends in RTTM, True Colors and Cold World and all other friends during this weekend for making this possible.

In the weekends after I headed out to Rock Herck & Moshvalley Fest(Maasmechelen). Both shows had kinda the same vibe. Like this festival vibe I don't wholely digg, but hey hangouts where good so I ain't gonna complain.

Rock Herck is this free two-day festival in Herck-De-Stad. I only went down the second day of the fest. Drove out with my boy Kevin and his girl Sanne. Lots of bands playing that day. Checked out Shipwreck, Rise&Fall and Have Heart (still on tour). Ate some decent lasagna in the town center. Lots of familiar faces. A good day, but kinda weird setting. All in all a good day.


Moshvalley the week after was kinda the same. Two-day hardcore fest, again in a forrest. Kinda bummed being an urban m*therf*cker myself. Again also lots of band playing. Checked out Rise&Fall and True Colors. This was one of the last shows of the Rise&Fall/Have Heart/Shipwreck-tour. It also turned out I'm not the best singer in the world.

In between these two shows, I also managed to catch NYHC legends Murphy's Law and Cro-mags. Saw Cro-mags I while back in TRIX, Antwerp too. The crowd was like really weird, but both bands put on a good show. Caught in the mayhem during Murphy's Law, I managed to get in a safe zone during Cro-mags, being able to enjoy the show without worrying about getting beer spilled on me.

That's whats up for now. Gonna rest a bit, hope I'm fully recovered on friday for DYS, True Colors and Soul Control and HEAT afterwards.

Peace!

No crunk, but crank!

Yesterday was supossed to be about Hard Body aka The Fireman aka Weezy F. Baby (please say the Baby)but he had to delay his euro tour due to medical reasons. So instead me and my boy Crunkswagger Vandam went to see Crank II: High Voltage featuring Jason Statham as Chev Chelios. Kinda like Tarinto meets Guy Ritchie. I really enjoyed it. Lots of cool cameos/small roles from Ron Jeremy, Jenna Haze, Lexington Steele and David Carradine (rip). Mad props for the New Balances worn by Statham and the music score done by Mike Patton.

Still building time machines out of DeLoreans.

Didn't post much recently. But expect some updates verry soon. Things I've been upto lately: had a bbq on behalf of Wim Boomerang in Nieuwmunster on friday and drove out to Hengelo to catch yet another show of the Shipwreck/RISE AND FALL/Have Heart-tour.
Rise And Fall and Have Heart got great crowd response. Show was outside and part of festivities in Hengelo. Copped some shipwreck sweatpants, ate a great durum wrap and since the road to Hengelo is seeded with Macky D's I got the chance to chill twice with Ronald that day. Shout outs to Baram Odrama, Dosscher The Mosher and the Limburg Straight Edge for hangin out properly. Also lots of credit to Crunkswagger Inc. for the great weekend the week before: Went to see "drag me to hell" and enjoyed the Mongoloids, Death Threat, Rise And Fall and Have Heart the day after at pressure fest. With the Mongoloids being the cream of the crop that day. Read up on it on crunkswagger.blogspot.com. I'm out for some more time travelling! Coming up: Red&Meth, The Mongoloids once more, WEEZY F. BABY and a Cold World weekend!

OG colorways!

One of the most noteable air max '87 releases of 2009! The OG red and blue versions and are available now at select retailers as a Quickstrike drop. You'll probably find them on ebay or at the regular e-stockist too.

DIVA

B crunks it up. Like it!!

Hardcore fridays, metal saturdays

This weekend I'll be at TRIX, Antwerp two nights in a row!

Friday: Cro-mags, Death Threat, Betrayed, No Turning Back...

Saturday: Torche, Kylesa, Voivod, Coalesce, Oatbreaker...

I'm most siked about seeing Cro-mags, Death Threat and Torche.

Tip your bartender

Not only a proof of good manners, but also a Glassjaw song. The first song on their second full-length album Worship And Tribute. Glassjaw is a four-piece post-hardcore band from Long Island, New York. The band is fronted by vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck, and has undergone numerous line-up changes since their inception.
Next is the video for Ape Dos Mil a song also featured on that record. The main theme of the video is adultry. There are 2 versions of this video but I like this one best.

glassjaw--ape dos mil


Palumbo suffers from Crohn's disease, which has acted as inspiration for much of his musical output, most notably in the lyrical content of Glassjaw's major label debut Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence. During his illness a friend of his got into an affaire with his girlfriend (which probably formed the inspiration for this video). Worship And Tribute marks a huge stylistic change for Glassjaw. Rather than the extremely abrasive metal-influenced hardcore sound on the first album, this album moves more towards experimental rock. This album only returns to their old style fully in the album's opening track Tip Your Bartender. Glassjaw is currently working on a third album. On November 28, 2008 the band posted the full studio-recorded version of "(You Think You're) John Fucking Lennon" on their website as a hidden track. In a post made on his Twitter on June 14th, Palumbo stated "Beck and I are sitting in his car listening to the new Glassjaw EP that we've just completed. Shit SLAMS." On previous notes he stated that fans may expect new music verry soon.
To wrap things up, here's the video done for the second single from Worship And Tribute.

Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Bloodloss


PS: Palumbo is rumoured to be a big Bad Brains fan.

Rapper LIL WAYNE is set to become a father for the third time - model/actress LAUREN LONDON is allegedly pregnant with his child.

The Lollipop hitmaker, real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., welcomed his second baby, a son, in October 08 - and now he’s preparing for another addition to his brood, according to online gossips.

Rumours about London’s condition recently surfaced on the internet, and now reports suggest the pair are ready to go public with their happy news.

Congratulations Weezy! You knocked a woman up, be happy it's Miss London. (Take a look readers!)

Exclusive Audio Footage

Exclusive Audio Footage was meant to be the debut album of Clipse, after they signed with Elektra Records. The album's first and only single was "The Funeral". Due to poor promotion from the label, it failed to catch on in any meaningful way despite the substantial buzz it generated with fans, and was quickly deemed a commercial failure. Elektra then decided to indefinitely shelve the album. Clipse were released from their record contract not long afterward.

Exclusive Audio Footage also marks the beginning of the Clipse's recording partnership with The Neptunes. Dowload it here while waiting for Till The Casket Drops. Kinda like a big deal. http://rs345.rapidshare.com/files/86554445/Clipse-Exclusive_Audio_Footage.rar

Check out the story behind Polo being a household brand in hiphop and ganglife in general.

The Lo Lifes were originally composed of two boostin' posse's from different sections in Brooklyn. There was the Crown Heights half who were originally known as "Ralphies Kids" (Ralph Lauren's Kids). That name was made by G-George who lived on St.Johns and Utica Ave, which was also where "Ralphies Kids" could be found. Then there was the Brownsville half who were originally called POLO U.S.A. (UNITED SHOPLIFTERS ASSOCIATION). That name being made up by Ski-Lo and Pumpkin (Rest In Peace). The Brownsville half were all mostly from the Marcus Garvey Village with others from Van Dyke Houses. "LO LIFES!"

The Dream aka Radio Killa is known for banging Christina Milian, producing and his own material. His latest album effort was Love vs Money (I'd pick money). An average RNB record with a couple of bangers on it. I'd certainly wouldn't mind shaking my ass to the next remix featuring Fabolous, Luda, Juelz Santana and Rick Ross. Hopefully I can crank to this at HEAT this friday!

Texas is the reason the president is dead

Being a big fan of emobands such as there are Falling Forward, Jimmy Eat World or Samiam I was told to check out Texas Is The Reason (TITR). Lucky as I am I was able to trade a Poison The Well - You Come Before You agianst TITR - Do You Know Who You Are? (What up B!)

TITR is an emo band from NYC. The name "Texas Is the Reason" is lifted from a Misfits song, entitled "Bullet". It also makes reference to a conspiracy theory about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in which the president was killed in a plot arranged by Texas Democrats in order to give Lyndon B. Johnson control of the White House.

As I don't believe in coincidence but only in logic, it didn't surprise me TITR was formed by Shelter guitarist Norm Arenas. Having listened to Shelter for almost an entire week in quite a while, it was kinda cool to me to discover TITR in the same week. If you don't know Shelter check out "Mantra" to begin with. Love that band! Ok, but back to emo. Next band I wanna check out in this genre is gonna be Renee Heartfelt and I also downloaded Somithing Corperate - Leaving through the window out of nostalgia. I loved this record when I was younger and it's still kinda cool to me, but I don't know if I would still like it if I discovered it today... Who knows?

Tomorrow I'm gonna watch Terror and Trapped Under Ice perform in Aachen, Germany! Get siked and peace out!

Ain't no such things as halfway crooks

I rocked this ILL Crooks & castles shirt to go see Ghostface at the AB, BXL this night. The shirt draws a lyric form Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt. II. I bought this shirt a while ago at a spot in Antwerp called the "Crackwhore"... Euhm, I mean "Crackhouse". Kinda stupid name for a shop but they got a fine selection of Crooks&castles shizz and some Jordans too. I also noticed some mixtapes and porn movies in the counter... Kinda weird... So if you need a new T and something new to lace up or you like porn you should check it out it's next to Nike SB stockist and skateshop "Lockwood" and a bit further down the street is the "Avenue" if you're more into runners. They also sell a slick share of shirts and gear: rockwell, diamond and alife are just few of the brands they have in stock. You can find all shops in the Korte/lange klarestraat in Antwerp. Here you have the websites for avenue and lockwood (couldn't find the one for the crackhouse, sorry).

Ghostface put on a good show, at least better than his fellow wu-tang member GZA a couple months earlier. Tony Starks and his Theodore Unit brought us an energetic mix of wu-tang classics, Ghost's solo shit and some tributes to other clan members and NYC hiphop legends like Biggie Smalls, Mobb Deep and Nasir Jones. Certainly worth my 22 euros although he lost me here and there. But hell it was a great night. Afterwards we went to snack at "Fritland" next to "De Beurs" for a mitraliette (aka good sandwich, filled with some veggies, a hamburger, french fries and a sauce of choice). Stief to the Positief hooked us up. Good shit!




Oh, to wrap things up, Mobb Deep is one of my favorite hiphop acts ever (The Infamous might be the best hiphop album ever), but more on them later on, for now y'all just have to settle with the hard-ass Mobb Deep picture above. Whatever? Party's over, tell the rest of the crew.

Peace out!

In this age when everything's falling apart disengage don't think I'm crazy

Why the world doesn't need Superman by Lois Lane

Earlier tonight I watched Superman Returns with my buddy Bram and as Brian Singer's great effort fluently passed along I came to remember David Carradine's (or in the movie Bill's) rant in Kill Bill Vol. 2 on comicbook mythology and actually it's quite genious so here you go:

"About two minutes, just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race."

Oh, and Lois Lane is a superficial bitch. I mean she's in love with Superman but mocks Clark Kent. She goes on and on about this attraction between her and the Man of Steel, but unfortunately "this attraction" doesn't surpass the eye cause when Supes puts on his glasses her love dies. Maybe this is Jerry Siegel's critque on females haha.

Please give me a set of adamantium bones...

Went to see the new Wolverine movie at the day it premiered in Belgium. The opening scene is superb but the movie is average at best. OK, there are some top moments like Emma Frost's appearence and the pressence of our favourite cajun (next to Lil Wayne) Gambit. On the other hand they totally fucked up the "Merc with a mouth" aka Deadpool.

The coolest part of the movie ironically happens when the movie is done. Fox has been distributing different copies of Wolverine to theaters: so if the main ending is the same for all, there are actually more than one after-credits scene.

The first one is about Wolverine 2 (detailing on the Japanese story arc) and the second one is about the Deadpool spin-off. Excuse me the poor quality as of these are made with mobile phones.

never on schedule but always on time

Casio Calculator watch I got from ebay a while ago. Definitely a winner, but what else do you expect from a stylish m*therf*cker like me?

PUUR

If you're sick of Macky D's (like that's ever gonna happen), too poor to go to te Belga Queen or just keen on healty food for a fair price you should check out PUUR. They serve some good quiches with a great salad and some buns alongside it. Last time I went there I got myself the quiche "ZUIDERS". Basic good quiche with cheese, tomatoes and some oregano.

Check it out yourself:

Great record. Eye for an Eye is a band from Boston around in the early 90s. I recently got the CD thanks to my friend Bjorn. It also appeared on vinyl 12" and collects their two 7" 's, live recordings for a radio show and a hidden interview. Highly recommended to people who like Fahrenheit 451 and/or Burn.

5 things you might not know

1. Pharrell Williams is a big Star Trek fan as indicated by his consistent use of the Vulcan salute to signify his label name, Star Trak (get it Star Trak... Star Trek). He also enjoys the work of Carl Sagan.

2. Polar bears never eat penguins cause they live on different poles.

3. Bad Brains cancelled there show next Tuesday at Minnemeers, Gent. Rise is myfavorite Bad Brains record (sorry H.R.).

4. The most famous paraplegic telepath known to mankind is Charles Xavier, founder of the X-men and the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters.

5. Tonight I'm watching Superman Returns again. Superman Returns is directed by Brian Singer and stars Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Brian Singer also directed the first two X-men movies and the House M.D. series. Brian Singer didn't direct X-men: The Last Stand because of his work on Superman Returns. He also took Cyclops with him (hence the small role of Cyke in X3).
Brett Ratner did a good job on X3, altough the Phoenix is a space entity.

Every good day starts with a surprise!

I opened up a new pack of Kellogg's Chocos this afternoon (I woke up late). It contained a surprise and not just any surprise but a light sabre (known from the Star Wars franchise)!!!

A light sabre is the preferred weapon of choice of a Jedi Knight. Chocos are the second best cereal ever.

On a related note but still quite opposite, yesterday I went to see the new Star Trek movie, which ruled in my opinion! Directed by J.J. Abrams and with the dude that plays Sylar in heroes as Spock (siked!). The original Spock portrayed by Leonard Nimoy is also present in the movie as a time travelling older Spock from the future. I'm not going to spoil too much, just go see for yourself. It's pure genious how they created an alternate timeline due to the consequences of time travel (I love time travel stories), without harming the original history and background of the Star Trek universe. New and old fans will be satisfied! It's cool if you know some of the original Star Trek background, but it's not necessary to enjoy the movie by itself. I aslo saw the Wolverine pic a week ago, more on that later on true believers!

I'm on a boat like Leo

I'm on a Boat Feat. T-Pain



This is an extremely funny video by The Lonely Island and our well-known certified Lamborginist T-Pain. The Lonely Island is an American comedy group. They just released an album called "Incredibad" which next to T-Pain also features Jack Black, Nathalie Portman, Justin Timberlake and Julian Casablancas.

A love (for) supreme

Sorry if you're disappointed that this post ain't about John Coltrane but about Supreme caps.

I recently bought a new Supreme cap at A Cut Above at Oudaan 15, Antwerp. Just google it to check out their website. More on shopping in Antwerp very soon! Peace!
