oxoniensis made me cover art for Rewind. Mebbe when the porn, or hey, the words, come back, we can do business.I think everybody's heard that Ocean's Thirteen is starting production in July, and while some people might be on the fence about this, I will come out now and say I think this is a BAD idea. Let's face facts shall we? Eleven was brilliantly entertaining. Twelve was one long wankfest that gave everyone a sore dick and a chafe issue. It was not a good film. At all.
If we think hard about this, it's pretty obvious that George is missing his peeps, which you know, is cute. He wants his friends to come out and play, and considering that both Matt and Brad have settled down and will become parents in the next few months, this is understandable. Still, if they're all up on dad duty, maybe we'll get to see like OTHER people in the film. Like Bernie Mac. But please, no more Julia Roberts. Yuck.
Thanks to
slodwick for reminding me that it's that's time of the month: calikali's Frankenstein Mix is in da house! [/Ali G] |

1. A song about touch. - Nine Inch Nails 'Closer' – The definitive song about wanting to rip someone's clothing off, touch, lick and bruise every part of their body, then fuck them into the floor -- or until you both get rug burn and cry uncle. Rug burn is bad, kids, Pratesi make sheets for a reason.
2. A song about taste. -- Billie Holiday 'God Bless the Child' The other day I watched Lady Sings the Blues the Berry Gordy-produced, Diana Ross-starring production about Billie Holiday's life, and I thought it was pretty fucking fantastic. If you're the sort who finds fault when the actors are too pretty or the clothing is too glam or the 'adapted for film' aspect leaves out that one club she played in that one time, this isn't for you. If you can get past that then yeah, you should see it. I chose this song, my favorite sung by Ms Holiday, because it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. The title speaks to religion and blessings, but it's really about finding your way in the world and knowing that at the end of the day, you only have yourself.
3. A song about sound. -- Travis 'Blue Flashing Light' – Travis are a Scottish band (with the most adorable lead singer ever) who are moderately famous for their song 'Why Does it Rain On Me' – a song about life sucking the big one. The majority of Travis' songs are in that same that self-depreciating, navel-gazing vein -- but in a good way. This song is their one-off. Everyone has that one time when they just need to let loose, and 'Blue Flashing Light', which doesn't even have a track number, but can be found seven minutes after the end of The Man Who is that song. It's not a pretty song, or a happy song, it's about murder and domestic abuse and what happens when you ignore what's right in front of you. National Domestic Violence Hotline (US) & National Domestic Violence Helpline (UK)
4. A song about sight. -- - Luscious Jackson 'Naked Eye' -- Once the female answer to The Beastie Boys, Luscious Jackson eventually went in a decidedly different direction from the three MCs and one DJ, but my real love for this song comes from the fact that Brody from Homicide was in the video.
5. A song about smell. Outkast 'So Fresh, So Clean' -- This song is Irish Spring, Obsession for men (or women), shampoo clean hair, and your favorite jeans, all in preparation for going out and getting your pimp on. If Steve McQueen were around now? He would so do his thing to this song, because like Big Boi and Andre croon, "ain't nobody dope as me, I'm just so fresh, so fresh and so clean."
6. A song about a sixth sense. -- Doves 'Some Cities' – The song starts out with the lyric 'I think I've might've met you before' – which would make you think this is a sixth sense song, but if you listen closer you'll realise that the song isn't about you and me, it's about you and your city, or me and my city, or that city you visit for the first time and you feel like you're coming home.
Zip file here and here*
*The zip file also has a few tester songs that I'm throwing out there to try and drum up business for new artists.
Also, here are a list of considered (and subsequently rejected songs) that I'd wound up uploading anyway:
Eurythmics 'Here Comes the Rain Again'
Olive 'Safer Hands'
Radiohead 'Karma Police 'Unplugged'

Date: 2006-03-27 08:02 pm (UTC)Two: I could have misread the article, it was severely pre-caffeine when I posted my link, but I thought the moral of the story was that there would be almost no Roberts or Zeta-Jones. Instead we get Barkin. Who I adore, probably more than a little for her sheer brilliance in Drop Dead Gorgeous.

Nerd, squared.

Date: 2006-03-29 01:17 am (UTC)I remember exactly when I got the video of Billy on that show. I didn't have an mp3 of him singing then so I just kept playing the video in the background of things. He sounds fantastic, and he keeps trying not to giggle, which is gorgeous.
I miss Billy. I know we got some new pics recently, but still. More!
