"Alopecia" - Why?


no more self loathing.
no more bitterness.
can't go on digging roses from your grave.
farwod, never backwod. as my capoeira instructor used to say.

in celebration to my new found altruism and forgiveness, we present you with this excellent album.
I hold why?s "elephant eyelash" as one of 2005:s best releases. "gemini (birthday song)" still is one of the best songs ever written.
on this latest effort the electronics and beats takes a few steps back. normally I'd frown upon this fact.
but this one grew on me. like a melanoma in my groin. 'til I was forced to like it. not that a melanoma 'd ever be my best friend. but whatever.

boy do I like it now.
so should you.

"Hybrid Awaken" - Lunar




my friends mother once told my friend that his band should call themselves "tellus".
now, not only is it incredibly gay (not being derogatory here....fuckers), it's weak. so much cool stuff up up and beyond, and you choose...our own planet? not that "jupiter" would have suited a thrash band better but... (there is probably a multitude of bands with the above mentioned names...but thats in poland... remember; poland...not being derogatory here....fuckers).
now what in jesus name do I talk about?
lunar.
name sucks. music most certainly doesn't.
it's like partying back in '97 at one moment, the next your thinking moby going way too orchestral.
speaking of '97, gonna up som belladonnakillz and bogdan raczynskis latest. thats nostalgia in a distant future. (?)

try this one out, if only for the song "floodlights". bloody marvelous.

"13 & God" - 13 & God




we like it when two separate bodies are able to merge into one, supreme body.
'nd right here we have the result of two excellent albums, two wholly different genres, blended to perfection.
themselves anticon-backpack-hiphop with its sharp edges.
notwists softtronical dreamscapes.
with a little touch of osmosis these two create a balance worthy far more attention than this.
so, show them what you're made of. you go girl. dare do it. give them your attention.
and your firstborn.

"Machinic Demo" - mpc2059




mechanical heartbeat he says.
I say smooth clicking and lush bleeping.
with just a tad of chaos sprinkled on top.
like a bionic cupcake. on fire.
"i'd buy that for a dollar"

"Brighter" - Don't Look Back




sad times call for sad music.
intense times call for intense music.
'n right now folks, it's intense! and a little bit sad.
this album contains what probably right now (gotta say "right now", 'cause back in the days, my favourite songs have been both jennifer rushs "power of love" and hallucinogens "lsd"...) is the runner up for best song.
"remove all trace". 2:26 into it i get goosebumps. the only song to beat that is "await rescue" of 65daysofstatics "one time for all time", where about 1:39 into it, I feel ready to break on through to the other side. "await rescue" is the bomb. not just a bomb but this bomb.
not loosing track, I say these frenchmen just saved the honor of their overrated countrymen.
no country for old frenchs.
iam though, were pretty good around -98..
alas, this is post rock with electronic and metal influences at its best.

"Remixes Vol.II" - Ratatat




by request.
a fine piece of music.
not sure biggie would've liked it.
but that's a small price to pay.

The What The Fuck Was Supposed To Be Happening




hey, I'm pro global warming. we were put on this planet for a reason.
to make sure movies like this never is brought to life.
and if mr shaymaheylaman keeps up his who-can-do-the-shittiest-most-pretentious-movie-race, I'll continue setting old refrigerators (sans fuckin energy star) and baby birds on fire.
'til were all gone.
seriously, I would like my 91 minutes of life back. thank you. with a cherry on the top.
had I known what I know now, I would've watched that lame movie on tv instead. that movie starring some skeleton and that hideous overbite-girl. "wimbledon" was it's name. but we probably could have called it "apocalypse now", compared to what atrocities I was put through instead.
if you want to know what happens in the movie, click the picture above and stare on it for 15 minutes. now this is no lie; marky-mark looks exactly like that throughout the entire film! frowning, looking like his nostrils are about to take over the rest of his face. for 91 minutes!
to be fair, his nostrils do probably stand the best chance of getting a best acting award in this movie.
just to make sure you don't watch this abomination, I'll spoil it:
it is the nature doing it! no....wait....they tell you that multiple times in the film...
guess it wasn't a spoiler.
"but....what's the purpose of the movie?" you ask yourself?
well, there seems to be none. except maybe for the inventive fella killing himself with the big lawn mower.
or the crazy lady in the end. no. my bad. because there was no need whatsoever to have that crazy lady in the movie! shalayalashakakhan tryin' to score some cheap horror shots.
oh, the fat kids being shot (for no really apparent reason) was ok.
other than that, I'm highly disappointed.

sorry shamalamadingdong. for making this garbage, you are hereby forced to wear the poohat.
'cause that was how dirty and stupid I felt after watching your movie.
