The Craft...The Musical?

So this morning I saw that they are planning to start a musical for The Craft on Broadway. At first I thought this could be kind of cool if it is done right. I mean The Craft is of course a cult classic and it kind of represented those girls in high school you know, that were like Wiccans, wore all black and stuff ( I know I hung out with them). I would think if they were to approach this from like a Queen of the Damned angle it might be pretty cool. So I found a Youtube channel with some clips of songs from the upcoming play. All I could think of when I saw this was like....Sister Act. The Craft is no Sister Act. So this is no longer something I think is going to be cool. I dunno, you be the judge. P.S We love you Skeet Ulrich. Skeet.Skeet.

YMCMWTF?

So news broke not too long ago that the band Limp Bizkit, pioneers of "rap rock", hated by many, loved by others, has just signed to Cash Money Records. Cash Money has become a clusterf*&k of artists over the past few years with a few head scratching people to their roster of artists. Now let's just be clear that I was a huge fan of Limp Bizkit. The album Significant Other was the first album that I walked to the mall and purchased myself, so they have a special place in my heart. But...come on man. The whole Cash Money/Young Money enterprise is just doing the most right now. They literally have 500 people signed to the label and only like 4 or 5 people have released albums under that umbrella. I am personally annoyed when labels just sign and sign and sign people but the execution rate is just horrible. If your not Wayne, Birdman, Drake or Nicki Minaj, don't expect to have your jank released. If you actually DO make an album and have it come out, don't expect it to be promoted. In the end have to give it YMCMB because it's just so random and zany and I of all people appreciate random and zany. So in honor of LB getting signed to the greatest show on earth, here are some other people I hope get's signed to Cash Money. (as originally conceptualized on my twitter feed.)

Domino-At the height of the "G-Funk" in the early 90s Domino hit us with what is a minor hit, but definitely a ghetto classic. His brand up of Gangster azz R&B would be refreshing on the scene today.


Skee Lo-Mr. Lo had a pretty decent hit on his hands with "I Wish". This song relates to everyone cause don't we all wish we were a little bit something? I like to think that he is the pre cursor to "emo rap" because of his brutal honesty about his self image and his feelings. If there was no Skee Lo, there would be no Drake so it would be fitting to put the self aware emo rap pioneer on the YMCMB line up.


Adina Howard (on twitter I called her Anita Howard, oops)-this feisty lady laid it all out on the table and let her male conterpart know exactly how it is with her hit "Freak like Me". Since Nicki Minaj got all pop-py and is not nasty as she used to be let Adina be the freak nasty lady with a nice harmony behind it.


Semisonic-we all know the great song "Closing Time", it's timeless, it's for some reason getting more play in movie trailers now that it did when it came out in the 90s. Why should Cash Money sign them? Why not? They've signed damn near everybody else.



Lou Bega-I think Lou has a few Mambo's left in him.

Rammstein-because it would be funny. I bet Wayne is a Rammstein fan on the low.

He's Like Camp-bell SOOOOOOOOOP

Now I do not like to make fun of church going peoples, but sometimes, they just...make it to easy. And obviously God has a sense of humor, just look at the person to the right of you. See? SOOOOOOOOOP

Thoughts/Suggestions for the Rapture

According to hardcore Christians Evangeloonies, tomorrow May 21 2011 is the end of the world/judgement day/the rapture. Apparently this date is in the Bible. I do not know the Bible, I grew up Episcopalian and when I was young I took Saturday Bible classes so I could achieve Communion but got kicked out cause I asked too many questions. Go figure. But I have to be honest when I say I am a little scared when it comes to things like this. Sure my life stinks now but I don't want the world to end living a sucky life. I want to appreciate it with my family before it ends. I don't want to be at work like a dufus. So I ask to the Heavens above, can you wait till I get a better job and a boyfriend before the skies open up and take us to our next destination? If you don't mind of course, im not trying to be pushy, don't hurt me. But here are some thoughts and suggestions I have for the "rapture"
-Listen to Anita Baker's classic album Rapture during the Rapture.



-If the Zombie Apocolypse was to happen, my dad is buried down the street from where we live, would I have to beat him up, cause that's just plain awkward and wrong.

-Listen to the band The Rapture during the The Rapture.

The Rapture - "Get Myself Into It" from ben dickinson on Vimeo.

-Listen to Blondie's "Rapture" during the Rapture.


-So if Bin Laden had gotten his 72 virgins, I hope Macho Man Randy Savage gets 72 unopened Slim Jim's. I want my 72 heavenly pleasures broken down like this: 30 Shia Labeouf's, 15 Rick Gonzalez', 5 Channing Tatums circa Coach Carter, Step Up days, 2 Kanye West's, and 20 Donald Glover's.

Happy Rapturing everyone!

Holiday Spirit Part Tres

In what is becoming an unhealthy fascination with these kids, Odd Future, they have released a new song affectionately titled "F@ck This Christmas". And since I am have an ongoing theme of not being in commercial holiday spirit, I figured I'd post it on here. Check it out over at their blog

Jammie of the Day

Ok so its this group out called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All or Odd Future for short. Its these bunch of teenagers from California who rap about rapping and killing people. Its basically hip hop horrorcore, I really dont get it, but I kinda dig it at the same time. This track is from the "leader" and main producer of the group Tyler the Creator, who barades people on his twitter and they all love it. Here's "VCR"

Here are some other videos, these kids are nuts!

Jammie of the Day

My head is a jukebox that is constantly on. I like to randomly sing songs off key and very loud, sometimes I surprise myself with what song comes out. I started singing this song like 5 minutes ago. When this song first came out I loved it which is disturbing considering how old I was versus the content of the song. But the main part of the song that I liked so much was the harmonies,yeah weird kid. Anyways here is Adina Howard with the freak anthem of '95 "Freak Like Me"

Your Getting On My Nerves.

When I first heard about facebook it was through a friend of mine who was talking about this dude she had a crush on and the fact that he had a facebook. Of course I ask what is facebook? I should have never asked. When I first got my facebook account is was open to college students only which I found pretty cool cause it seemed there was some sort of exclusivity. Then it opened to everyone and well, you know the rest. Facebook is really getting on my nerves. There's too many people on it. You really can't say exactly what you want cause you dont want your family members to see how much of a drunk or in most people's cases how much of a slut you are. And you can't complain about your job cause guess what your boss is on facebook and they can see you. The magic is gone. Ok so the magic was never really there. So I know what your thinking. "Then why are you still on facebook?" That's a good question. I don't know.

Yo this kid is a trip

So a number of weeks ago im quite sure you all saw the shocking video footage of a 2 year old Indonesian marshmallow smoking ciggies like a pro right? Well a camera crew went to go check up on him and here is that footage...


Here is the thing, I have very conflicted feelings about this kid. On one hand he is a cute little brown butterball, then you see him smoking with such proficiency and I'm thinking "Yo this kid is a G". Then you think about the side effects that this can have on his health. Its clear that he is already down the road to sumo greatness, but also as the doctor said in the piece his lungs are still developing. It's strange how this riveting story is all types of wrong and all types of right at the same time.

My Bad.

So the finale of Rupaul's Drag Race was monday and boy was I wrong about the results. All season I said it will come down to Raven and Jujubee and Tyra didnt stand a chance. Turns out Tyra wins the whole darn thing! On one hand I can see why the judges picked her, that ho had been turning it out on the runway from the jump. However I dont think she has the personality of being the NEXT DRAG SUPERSTAR! Yes she has the potential of becoming a great queen but not only is she young in the drag game, she is a young person in general and I think it was a poor choice. But as LEY said Tyra's backstory about her/his son is probably what did it for the judges but who knows. I still love Jujubee and Raven. Plus they're both along with other queens is going to be a part of Rupaul's new project Drag U where they make over biological women. I want them to make me over!

Happy Confederate History Month! Wailt...WTF!?

So the current governor of Va Republican Bob McDonnell has decided to re-establish the celebration of Confederate History Month this April. Much to the shagrin of the hundreds of thousands of african americans whom live in Virginia. As a black person I should be downright appalled right? Yes it is quite disturbing to commission the celebration of a group of people who supported the enslaving of black folk. However it does not surprise me. No matter how integrated Virginia has become this is still the south and the confederacy is a part of its history. So I somewhat understand what McDeezy is trying to do, although it may have some behind the scenes workings such as certain groups will be happy about this and this will keep him in their good graces thus keeping him in office for a while. I believe if Mickey D's would have did this differently with a bit more sensitivity towards the african american community and the images that the word 'Confederate' bring up it would have went over...aw hell Negroes will still be mad!

Hey.

Well hello there, remember me? Yeah its been a while, but I really have nothing to blog about, and if I do it will be border line emo, and who needs that? So its november now, man the year goes by fast. This is my first full year out of school and it just goes by really fast. Like seasons are just seasons, holidays are just another day, it kind of sucks actually. I can litteraly feel youth slip away and me no likey. This past weekend was Halloween. How many times does Halloween fall on a weekend? Not a lot actually like twice a decade i think. So becuz it falls on a weekend this is when your supposed to go all out and crazy. That is unless your me. ON friday I went out to the wave in my costume as a NUN for the 3rd year in a row. I thought it was going to be epic, turned out to be eh-pic(ha). When I got there it was fun, the dj was playing some good stuff then they switched dj's on me. This dj played club remixes of EVERYTHING, he played club mixes of club mixes, hated it. Then I hung out with my friend but I had to kind of hang with her friends. Are you ever in a situation when you love your friend but you just dont mesh with her friends? Yeah that's another post. Then on the actual day of halloween, I went to bed bath and beyond. That was actually quite fun, which is scary.

Miss HU, the wrong HUe.

A local story caught my eye yesterday. Its a story about a young Caucasian lady who attends Hampton University, a historic black college winning the Miss HU pageant. This appointment has the whole campus split on the decision. Her name is Nikole Churchill and she is senior who attends the Va Beach campus of HU (i didnt even know there was a VB campus). There have been negativity because of her skin color and the fact she doesn't attend HU on the main campus (i agree with that one)Others are positive on the issue and say it shows the diversity of the HBCU. I am personally split on this decision. If this was a young black woman becoming queen on an all white campus will the rumpus be the same? At the same this is a historic black college and in keeping with tradition Miss HU should be african-am. But I dont want to sound like a biggot. I will tell you this, I know a lot of the black chicks are like "First they take our men, now they're taking our pageants!?". Churchill had written a letter to President Obama explaining her issue and asked for him to come to Hampton University and speak on racial tolerance, a letter which she later apologized to writing and sending. So all in all im not really sure how to feel on this subject, how bout you?
I would like to send a video dedication to Ms. Churchill Gym Class Heroes "Viva La White Girl"

This Video Is So Wrong, but Right at the Same Time

This is the video for Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor" I guess I should have parental discretion cause its pretty dirty, but its hilarious. I brought Major Lazer's Guns Dont Kill People...Lazer's Do yesterday. Haven't got the chance to really listen to it but the stuff I did hear I like. Who knew 2 white boys could make such a good reggae album ey? Well one of those dudes is Diplo, and Diplo is dope! So anyways here ya go

Today in 'Umm' News

Contact Lenses for Animals. Ummm I really dont have any comments on this story.Animals get cataracts so some firm in some foreign country decided to make contacts for animals. I would suggest the animals take the 'snoop dogg approach' for their cataracts...wait that's for glaucoma, whatever.All joking aside it seems like a pretty neat idea. I wonder if animal contacts will be just as irritating as human contact lenses. Paging Ben Stein.

News bites

You's a HOE! I wish I would have thought of this...ok not really, its actually not that clever, but still amusing. A las vegas man won his right to have HOE on his license plate. I mean I dont know what's so shocking, Nevada says its ok to be a HOE so what's the biggie?
Song dedication: RIP to the Vincent Smith II he died from falling into a huge thingy of boiling chocolate, how unfortunate yet what a way to go. This song is for you Vinnie.

Michael Jackson is butter baby! At the upcoming Iowa State Fair there is a propostion for an MJ butter sculpture. Oh Iowa! Your so great you gave us Slipknot, your down with gay marriage and you make butter sculpture's of Jacko :high five:

Space Son

So these new 'pictures' have emerged of the planet Saturn. These 'pictures' were taken by NASA spacecraft Cassini which have been floating in space for like 2 years or something. Anyways although the images are beautiful and spellbinding, they dont look real to me which is why ive been these ' ' around the word pictures. To me they look like those pictures that were in the textbooks when I was in like elementary school. I guess I am one of those 'I believe it when I see it' folks. Well I see it and I still can't believe. Judge for yourself

Today's miniscle bloggin has been brought to you by

Shabba Ranks, I dont know why, dont ask wont tell.

..better done alone.

There are some things in life that are better done alone, in a dark room, with the doors locked, on a saturday night. I dont know what your thinking about but im talking long, sweaty, heart pounding, intense sessions of Guitar Hero. Another thing that I think should be done in the privacy of your own space, maybe with a selected few is prono films (or porno but i dont like saying the 'p' word) Obviously some college kids dont necessarily feel that way. Of course its college kids, the only time in your life when you can excuse any questionable thing you do with "I was in college", it automatically gets you a life pass. For the record I have not done anything questionable in college, yes Im lame.

All man-naise must go.

So this man-naise bank is offering 'stimulus packages' of their own to families who want to add to or start their families but ran into financial prollems cause of the current situation. I dont know how to feel about sperm banks. Can you imagine the type of dudes that walks into sperm banks? Actually now cause everyone needs a little bit of cash a higher grade of man might spray some seeds in a cup, but getting injected with a stranger's sauce is not the way I want to start a family, but it sounds applicable for a friday or saturday night. This is the funniest part of the story to me right here.

Select donors, explained Moores, are men from whom Xytex has "many, many vials because they're very successful donors or able to stop in several times a week or -- for whatever reason, we have a huge inventory," and it is being made available in a sort of clearance sale.
