  1. Pretty excited for Elite Squad 2. The first one was awesome and this has even better reviews on IMDB. Same writer as City of God.

    (You'll have to view it in youtube for CC eng subs)

    ive meant to see part 1 a million times and have somehow fucked it up. im correcting this mistake tomorrow.

  2. Kakutani is an insufferable bore. Couldn't possibly be less relevant as a critic. Even when she manages to gets things right, it's because she blundered into it by accident. Total nonsense. It's like reading a grad school term paper.

    While not particularly useful or insightful as criticism, the essay on GQ's site right now by John Jeremiah Sullivan is miles more fun to read, particularly as a DFW fan, and that should be the whole point anyway.

    yo, thanks for the heads up on that GQ piece. that was brilliant.

  3. someone answer me this: i know korea doesnt have much vinyl, but is there any way to secure a gd&top lp or single? knock out is my fucking jam right now and i want something by these cats on wax.

  4. @jay: i think brians actually responsible for that lineup of brands. hes still working with wings, i think, but the bay brought him on to really up their game. i remember when they said they were gonna go after the holts crowd and i didnt really see any shift in product and figured they were bluffing, but after bry got on, i knew it was gonna pick up and get real.

  5. dear rob ford: i kinda like you, in a lot of ways. largely because i hate streetcars. but do you really think cleaning up all the graffiti murals on queen west will balance the budget? sincerely, puzzled clopek.

    The graffiti thing will never go down. Some people from brickworks are trying to find a loophole around the bylaw right now so they can preserve some murals and the integrity of some of the remaining walls on the property.

    It's also a shitty initiative in that the city would expect property owners to pay to have graffitti removed from their homes as a quality of life standard, which gets tricky when you consider Graf is most prevalent in lower income zones where people have more pertinent things to put money towards. That whole thing opens up a quality of life can of worms in that if the city were actually doing it's job instead wasting time on shitty campaigns like anti graffiti, the people of these neighborhood might actually have a quality of life they'd like to uphold.

  6. Dawg I don't floss with Mayor Ford by any stretch of the imagination, but removing magazines, with a photoshop of the mayor nude on the front cover, from city property, is not much of a breach of free expression. From time to time I see a cogent and reasonable critique of the man or his policies, but so long as Now and it's contemporaries define the tone of twentysomething dissenters as left of far-left and juvenile as internet comments, I will continue to find it difficult to throw in with them.

    Now is now, and for as long as I've been reading in cafeterias and streetcars, always has been, a shit magazine. It's doubly shitty when aspires to punditry.

    i think the legs this story got through facebook has people thinking hes trying to shut down now, when really hes just havign it removed from city operated spaces, which really cant be confused as breach of free expression by anyone with a shard of competence.

    im not a ford fan either, but like most ford-dissenters, i was too busy on election day oiling my bike chain or relacing my tennis shoes, to actually go out and vote for the other guy. i still marched down queen street in organic hemp capris telling everyone else not vote for him, though. then i ate a burrito. so ive done my part to combat free-rag tyranny.

  7. i mean, i guess its overreacting and all, but when you photoshop a politicians head onto a big naked baby, do expect that dude to want that magazine kicking around offices where people have to answer to his authority?

    if my roomate put up 'fuck cory' stickers around the apartment, id probably take them down and smash her label maker.
