Tom Scholz v. Mike Huckabee

Zahn et. al.

Juno reviewed

From Metacritic:

Isaac gave it a 2:
if you have a penis, do NOT see this movie. It will fall off. Also, worst soundtrack ever.

Liars/Patrick Daughters

i'm seeing Liars tonight with no age which should be an ear-bleeding good time
and since their new video is a freak-a-leak i'll put it up here

">plaster

its directed by patrick daughters who is kinda cool having done videos for yeahyeahyeahs and feist (the 1 2 3 4 ipod video and one for my moon my man which i really dig)

Vintage Eminem

I came across this a while back, but I hadn't really given it a listen until it came up on my iPod shuffle while I was waiting for the bus last night. It's from his first album, "Infinite". He's a bit more laid back--not a single f-bomb, and the beat sounds like it could have come from a Tribe Called Quest album. Sample verse:

In this slaughtering house, caught up in bouts
With the root of all evil
I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful
And make them do shit illegal
For these Grant's and Jackson's
These transactions explain a man's actions (lyrics)

He gives the context of the recording in "Yellow Brick Road" (lyrics).
