we will not do what they want or do what they say no more

i was about to head out for lunch when i got an IM from mikey and we started to discuss how Bad Brains' Rock For Light is the best punk record ever. If you disagree with this then just stop reading here. all of the versions of the songs on that record are far superior to every other session they were recorded in. they're all faster than ever and raw as shit. plus it gets no better then Riot Squad.
While looking for the Riot Squad video from December 24th of 1982 (which you need to check out... now) I found this gem

fuck it, here you go. watch and enjoy


In other great news, the season opener for 30 Rock season three leaked onto Hulu. I almost didn't watch it, but I did. And I'll be watching Thursday night... as should you.

so yesterday i voted for my first presidential election. i'm awesome. yeah i'm not super pumped on either candidates (aside from the race of one). but if you aren't registered you're a fool, and if you are, go vote. i don't care for who, but i feel as though it's important to vote... but if you weren't going to vote but took MY advice to vote, you probably shouldn't vote, but should take this advice and not be my friend.
new 30 Rock on Thursday. Get pumped CUZ U NO I R.

here is a list of funny things i saw this weekend:
-chris
-a swastika drawn on a sign
-"child abduction warning" sign
-skinheads buying boots
-star trek Season I DVD's for $90+
-30 Rock (season 2 so far is really nice)
- a new menu at one of my favorite restaurants

So I've been into this band for about a year or so called Tinarawin from Mali. If you could imagine Carlos Santana coming from Mali/Niger, you've got the sound. It totally has that nomadic, stuck in the desert type sound (is that even a sound...? it is when you hear it).
Anyways, these dudes are really interesting and here is a short "documentary" clip on them. There is a second part and there is another one that is like 20 minutes long or something. Check it out at least for the music and the way these dudes live when they're not on tour.

and these are my two favorite commercials that are on TV



look at this chocolate dude's face the entire time the commercial runs. and the way he moves his hand. oh dang.

So I'm at a stand still on whether or not I should drop Arabic. I emailed my professor and asked him what I should do.
Watch this

So I got rid of my old blog. Don't go there.

This is my new one and it should be a lot less boring.

 

So, for your viewing enjoyment (go to about 35 seconds into the clip)
