Music of the Moment - May 9, 2009

Aight, I'm back on my alternative shit. This group, Dinosaur Pile-Up, is still pretty new but I've been able to find some good music from them. The one that caught my ear first was their most popular song, My R&R. The trio from Leeds is still unsigned but they've already launched their 2009 tour. I wish they'd make it over here to the United States but I won't hold my breath. Check out their joint My R&R [Rock & Roll] and also a video of the drum cover for the same song. Yup.

Oww.

Don't Believe the [Chicken] Hype...

So everyone [literally everyone] has heard about the coupon for the free grilled chicken at KFC that Oprah sponsored. I mean, black people everywhere heard about it and they were like:Yeah, sounds all good right?? Wrong. And I'm not even speaking on the arguing, fighting and even riots that have occurred over the chicken; I think there might be an even bigger issue. I know people have seen Undercover Brother and if you have, I know you remember en The Man's plan to use fried chicken to distribute a mind-controlling drug to the black population. ↓ ↓
Hmm. Not so far fetched now is it??

Who knows what could be behind this nation-wide free chicken campaign??
It might be as bad as the chicken causing everyone who eats it to turn into chicken-craving zombies or something. Who knows?? It's been insane around here. The KFC by my crib had a line of cars more than half a mile down the road. People were even parking their cars on Cascade and walking all the way to KFC to wait in a lobby packed with people. The one by campus had to limit the deal to dark meat and only mashed potatoes. Today at Wal-Mart this dude even tried to sell me his coupons for a dollar apiece since you can't download them anymore. This is wild. I've decided not to take part in this whole free chicken thing. It's weirding me out too much. I might end up on May 20th as the last unzombified person alive!

I mean, stranger things have happened.
Wait, no they haven't. But still.

[Note: And why did it have to be KFC?? Why couldn't Oprah give America free Subway for two weeks?? Hmm...Owwuch.]

Music of the Moment - May 7, 2009

Owwie. Cinco de Mayo went stupid, fruity, futuristic so I had to follow-up with some equally dope music. And surprise, it's from Kid Cudi. If you're not down with him yet, you're buggin. His debut is definitely on my list of Most Anticipated Releases of 09. Check out this joint from his latest mixtape, Dat Kid From Cleveland called Rollin' feat. Jackie Chain. And yes, it's a Gucci sample. Can't beat that.

[Note: And it's pretty much the theme song from the past week. Cuz I ain't slept in weeks. Ow.]

Cerverza, Por Favor....

Yeah, it's Cinco de Mayo and I'm done with finals. You know what that means. Tacos y cerveza y tequila = El Oww. Tonight should be a blast even though not every one is finished yet. It's definitely the drinker's holiday, so we must celebrate. We have plans for the night but I'm not sure if we should hit Chipotle during the day or hit an authentic Mexican restaurant. Any suggestions?? Oh well, Viva La Mexico y Feliz Cinco de Mayo. Hopefully the night ends up looking like this:
Well, everyone have fun tonight, because I know I will. But be safe too; don't take it too far....esta que ella dice.
El owwwwww.
[Note: This video isn't even Mexican or about a Mexican story, but it sounds like it. And Sublime is the shit...oh, and Deebo is in it. Fuckin Sancho.]

Back Like I Never Left/The Season Ends...

Sorry for the brief hiatus, school's really been kicking in. But it's almost over....forever.

My Bulls ended up losing to the Celtics in Game 7 in Boston. Damn. We really played well throughout the series and it sucked to go out like this. Ben Gordon had a big 33 to lead all scorers but it wasn't enough. During the playoffs D.Rose played beyond his years and the Miller/Salmons trade proved to be really big for us. The worst part of the whole thing might be that had we gotten past Boston, we would have had a real chance to beat Orlando in the second round. wtf. I'm disappointed we had to go out like this, but after the greatest series in NBA Playoff history, I can't be too mad.

Oh wait, yeah I can.
Fuck Boston.

Now I don't have to watch any basketball until Kobe vs. Lebron in the Finals. Uh oh.


vs.


I'm crossing my fingers.

Greatest Game Ever?? ...Yeah, I Think So

Did I call this or did I call this??

Last night's Bull/Celtics triple overtime thriller was on of the most entertaining sports events I've ever witnessed. And that's NO hype. I was literally on the edge of my seat from the beginning of the fourth quarter to the last second of the third overtime. Three overtimes though?? I was definitely two Ray Allen three pointers away from having a conniption, but we were able to pull this one out. There were so many big plays from D.Rose, John Salmons, Ben Gordon and everybody, but two big plays really sealed the deal for us. The first big one was Joakim Noah's mean ass dunk on Paul Pierce. Not only did it put us up by 2 with 35 seconds left, but it gave Paul Pierce [aka Mr. Aardvark] his sixth foul. And when I say "dunk on" I mean "murderlize." Just check it out. There are no words:

Holy fuck. I still can't believe he did that. Noah's gained so much respect from Chicago fans throughout this series and that was definitely the exclamation point. I guess I can finally forgive him for this:

Anyway, back to the second huge play from last night. It would have to be the defensive stop that D.Rose put up against Rajon Rondo on the Celtics last real chance to tie up the game. I knew he had it in him. Not only were the Bulls finally able to put the clamps down on Rondo, but hopefully his struggles will continue in Game 7. Check the D:

I'm definitely proud of my Bulls but our job is definitely not over. We've proven that we can not only play with the Celtics, but we can win in Boston. Game 7 should be extra wavy. Seriously. Max B agrees ↓ ↓
Oww.
