Common
I originally posted this last year. Consider this a bump. Complete with linkage to his myspace, which features this song I am still loving.
Now, you can hear "The Corner" while you read me go on about it!
*enters Dr. Evil's time machine*
Common
The Corner - Common
I don't care what anyone says about all the Hip Hip junk that is out there right now, Common Sense rises above that mess.
The Last Poets have a couple of spoken parts in the song. Here is some of their genius.
Rep it.
[Spoken: The Last Poets]
The corner was our Rock of Gibraltar, our Stonehenge
Our Taj Mahal, our monument,
Our testimonial to freedom, to peace and to love.
[Spoken: The Last Poets]
We underrated, we educated
The corner was our time when times stood still
And gators and snakes gangs and yellow and pink
And colored blue profiles glorifying that

"May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos
Even in the darkest spots living beings are able to hear it clearly
So that all suffering in them ceases, understanding comes to their heart
And they transcend the path of sorrow and death.
The universal dharma door is already open
The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly
The miracle happens
A beautiful child appears in the heart of the lotus flower
One single drop of this compassionate water is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.
Listening to the bell I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve
My mind calm, my body relaxed
A smile is born on my lips
Following the sound of the bell, my breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness
In the garden of my heart, the flowers of peace bloom beautifully."
Thich Nhat Hanh

Be Easy
Ghostface Killa
Follow the link to Ghostface's MySpace and tell me the song "Be Easy" isn't damn good.
That's Hip Hop.

American Idol
Dear Sirs and Madames, I am an American Idol fan.
I'll cut through the usual nonsensical verbage that I jack down as some sort of post and say that Katherine, Paris and Taylor are all good enough to win. Taylor is entertaining as hell and his voice rocks. Katherine probably has the most skilled voice and is pretty damn sexy. Paris, when she sings the standards aka Billie Holiday, she's damn near perfect.
One last thing, Paula Abdul is A) On that shit or 2)Drunk as hell.
Go Katherine!

No Floaties On.
It's Easter Sunday. Sister in Law's house. Backyard. BBQ + swimming + lot's o' beer = Good Times.
The littlest of The Armando's (5 years old) runs back out from the house, after eating or somesuch, I see that he does not have on his "arm floaties" and I tell him so as he proceeds to jump off a fierce cannonball. The "huh" he gave me mid air was priceless.
He actually stayed above water for a bit and almost peddled to something he could grab onto. I was on the edge of the pool watching all this. Once he realized he didn't have the floaties on and that he could sink if he stopped swinging his arms, well he stopped swinging his arms. It's called freaking out.
It's called me jumping in to get him. Clothes, Razr phone and all.
He was fine. Won't forget his floaties next time and I will get him swimming lessons asap.
P.S. RazR phones don't dig being submerged in H2O. Still trying to get the sumbitch to work.
P.P.S. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy is a damn cool song.

I love listening to this wacky broad on "Talk Left" - Sirius 146.
She has an obnoxiously grating voice, but the way she rips into Bush and the Right, is fun to listen to.
P.S. Sirius es El Poo-Poo.

How to listen.
1. Realize you are doing all the talking.
2. Close mouth.
3. Open seldom used holes in side of head.

I'm the biggest Texas Rangers fan you know.
I've been, and will always be, the biggest Ranger fan you know. I just want to see them make it to the World Series ONCE in my lifetime. Just make it. They don't even have to win. Just being able to go to a World Series game here at the Ballpark in Arlington would be enough.
So you can understand my pain after games like last nights.

Pretty Sure.
Pretty sure that most of my cousin's who have decided to rock Downtown Dallas, have no idea what exactly it is they are doing there.
Pretty sure LULAC is enjoying the attention. Pretty sure I haven't seen them in the news lately doing shit else.
Pretty sure immigration policies need to improve.
Pretty sure that most of my cousin's come here and do the things yours won't.
Pretty sure I don't want the border wide open.
Pretty sure I want it open for those who are truly wanting to work and for those who are truly wanting to become United States citizens. IE, learn "thee" English and pay "thee" taxes.
But alas, I'm pretty sure 75% of my primos downtown are there for the party.
Ole.

Morning.
FYI - Every morning is a Starbuck's morning = Grande White Mocha where everybody knows my name. Literally. And you want to know what's worse than that? My wife and my youngest go there daily as well. They know all of our names.
*throws Chicano Power fist in the air....or something*
Of course Sirius comforts me on the drive in. Left of Center - 26 is what I was rocking to. Tell me something. Am I the only who thinks "The Editors" are getting to much love? I mean, they don't suck, but I'm not thinking they are something I look forward to listening to, like for example, the new FLAMING LIPS, which I need to pick up. It's an upardonable sin that I haven't done so already. Money clip is a little light this week, so I had to go with a Chronicles of Narnia purchase at my local house of prayer, more commonly known as Circuit City. On the 15th, the new Lips will be mine.
Continue to not know what the hizell I'm talking about.
*downs more liquid of the Gods as "The Smiths - Cemetary Gates" plays in background*
Work you say?

The Lashes
On the music player, click "Sometimes The Sun".
As the music hits, imagine yourself at a place, maybe outside, on a beach, where a mandatory keg makes it home. As you pump your glass full of more party, the sweet stench of sticky icky invades your nasal cavity, the waves crash, the music blast and life doesn't stuck.
P.S. Absolutely no FLATLINERS allowed.

It's Friday Freaks!
Sitting here chugging down some overpriced coffee (Grande White Mocha), listening to Stern on Sirius (during commercials switch over to Left of Center - 26 or Alt Nation - 21)and, oh yes, working.
Here's another video. Because I can. Because I will.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
Their new album is out now. Get it. Because You Can. Because You Will.

Gnarls Barkley
I heard them for the first time the other morning on the way to work. Check out the song "Crazy".

Empire's 50 Greatest Indie Films
Because I like Indie movies. Because most of the time, a movie with a budget of maybe $2,(see Sideways) has more creativity in it than say, a movie about a giant monkey. (see King Kong)
Empire's 50 Greatest Indie Films
Number's 9 and 17 are two of my all time faves.
I'm so f'n cool.

New Flaming Lips album out today. Awesome. Their last one, Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, is still in my rotation, and one of my favorites of all time. Do yourself a favor and like them.
