I'm gonna be pissed if this movie blows.
I love every thing Spike Jonze has ever touched, even his cameos on Jackass.
Anyways, I found the soundtrack tonight, and haven't listened to much of it yet, but I suspect I will like it... I would think it would be weird doing a soundtrack for a movie your ex is directing, but I guess I have a lot to learn.

Can't wait for hoops season.

We here at WOBBLEwobble blog love ESPN commercials.
Here's an old school one from '92:

i spit out my coffee reading this.

that's what she said!

lunch detention? well worth it.

Dear Kanye,

Throughout the years, you've done some ignorant shit. But I've defended time and time again. Many a times the things you did were really pretty indefensible but I always excused you because you are not only a musical, but visual genius as well. All those times you ranted on awards shows I thought that's not the coolest thing to do but oh well, it's Kanye and yea he really did deserve that award! Your boastful calms and outspokenness was refreshing to me because they came from a giant among men! What giant isn't unearthly arrogant, whether in public or private? Ali, Jordan( if you didn't think he was arrogant before, I present to you his HOF speech), HOV even. However, this Taylor Swift thing, that was just a straight DICK move. I...I can't defend you anymore man. That...just, I struggle to find words to describe the magnitude of how DUMB that shit was man. What were you thinking??! Did you really think it was going to help Beyonce?? Was it the hennessey man? Obviously it would have been outrageous if he did it anyone else but to Taylor Swift?? Like the worst person you could have ever picked to do that to. She's like America's sweetheart (and if she wasn't before, she definitely is now, 'Ye). Obviously you did not think this through when you ran your ass on that stage but the imagery you created. I'm not tryna pull out the race card here but.. I'm gonna do it. Arrogant black rapper (previously seen on the red carpet swiggin' Henney while being accompanied by Amber Rose, who, for all intents and purposes, looks like a FUCKIN' stripper and the least respected chick on the red carpet.) snatches, I repeat, snatches the mic away from innocent country/pop princess only to proclaim that, basically she was unworthy of the award she just received. Shit, son. The only worst thing you could've done was beat her a la Chris Brown. You know, I was really convinced that you had outgrown your old ways with everything that happened to you last year but I guess I was wrong, wrong like I've never been wrong before. This is not to say I am no longer a fan. You're still a genius in my eyes but damn haha. Please get some help. I'm saying this because I AM a fan. I don't want you to be the next Chris Brown. You contribute too much to music for me to want to see that happen. Lock it up 'Ye.

Who needs pyschedelics?

1. This video is triiiipy + pleasing to the eye.
2. Spike Jonze is pretty much awesome. (Can't wait for Where the Wild Things Are)
3. Yes, that's Karen O of The YeahYeahYeahs singing.
4. The shoes featured in the commercial, Adidas 1's, were/are ahead of their time...They have a fucking computer in them!

This isn't controversial at all...

Apparently this ad is suppose to shock and shake up people, give a new, more blatant perspective on the dangers of AIDS. Um..it worked. I am never having sex again, because that's just not kosher.

HOV!

Forget all that introductory b/s. I'm coming in guns a' blazing! The Blueprint 3's been leaked this week and after a day's listen I've got to say I dig it. I'll admit that when it comes to anything Jay and/or Kanye, I'm always going to be a little bias because, in short, I think they're the shit. They ran this shit! Honestly who out there is as creative, lyrically potent, and commerical successful as they are? I suppose you could make a case for Wayne but ehh, he's only been on it these past couple of years. He hasn't been going at a high level for as substantial amount of time as Jay. T.I.? psshh I think his lyrics ain't on par with nothin' Jay's ever put out. Very little wit and creativity with his raps. I don't appreciate them. Sorry, I just don't. Now that I've made that clear, back to the album. Though the album is a Jay-z album, I think it's very much Kanye's as well. He's the album's sonic architect. 7 of the 15 tracks were produced by him and if you listen to as much Kanye as I do, esp. his recent stuff, it's pretty easy to recognize which ones 'Ye had a hand in. On "Empire State of Mind", arguably the best track( not to mention Jay and Kanye's favorite track) on the album, it's classic Kanye. The soulful grandiose of chrous really gets under your skin, in the best possible way. Of course "Run This Town" is a G track. Initally Rihanna's part is a little disconcerting but after a few listens, you realize that in conjunction with the beat, it just works. And man does that beat work! They're at the top and this song is their proclaimation. Not to mention their video goes hard. Sorry, no hoes or club scenes here. A couple of other songs I dig so far are "Reminder"(produced by Timbaland, which I think is his hardest track since "Dirt Off Your Shoulder". Who knew dude could still come with it after hanging out with JT for so long?) and "Already Home" feat. Kid Cudi ( is this dude a singer or rapper??). All in all, a pretty good record. But I don't really like to make judgements too quickly on a CD. Only with time can you tell the true colors of an album. If I could, I'd probably go back and review albums a year after they've been released, after the initial react and hype has faded. Also some albums have a slow burn, need time to appreciate. But so far, The BP3 is doin' it for me.
