How to Shoot at Someone Who Outdrew Ya (Ji Man-Won: Dick of the Week)

Post Title explained at the end. Soundtrack: “I’m An Asshole” by Dennis Leary (uhh… warning: some bad words in this song) so then, to balance out that unrestrained joy-down from my previous post… Other bloggers have already documented how conservative Critic Ji Man-Won, and a bunch of netizens, actually attacked Moon Geun-Young for anonymously donating to various charities. Add another item to the list of things to call “Korea’s X” — things in Korea that are like more famous things elsewh

“Mend Soundtrack” Premiere

In 2004, way before getting waist deep in the Hip Hop genre, Three/21 released their first full length feature film “Mend”, which was eventually picked up for home video distribution by Reel Indies. In conjunction with the DVD, we released a soundtrack featuring an eclectic mix of music inspired by the film featuring independent bands like The Mighty Sweet, Biirdie and Sangara as well as Hip Hop acts such as Blakkout, HizBoyLroy and Eric Sanicola. It was also scored by Three/21’s resident com

WaterAid is working hard to change this, using simple and low cost solutions, and there are many easy and fun

Chapman & Brocker - Dance of the Crazy Man

I was at first intrigued when I saw in the bio that Chapman & Brocker started out doing soundtracks. It usually means an understanding of sweeping and somewhat epic musical tastes that tell a story, a depth that the usual one-off rock song can’t portray.  The score was for the documentary Best Hours of the Day, that captures the lives of two longboard surfers.  Two years later, the band has released their first LP Dance of the Crazy Man  which still offers up what you might expect from a

Billy and Stealing Rootbeer

My brother Billy will have surgery tomorrow at 8 a.m. PDT. His doctor told him there is a 91 percent chance the tumor is renal carcinoma. After numerous tests, it appears that the probable cancer has not spread. This is good news. I will update when I have more information. Does anybody remember Casey Kasem's long distance dedication segments during his American Top 40 radio specials? Kasem would read a heartfelt letter from a listener who would name someone to whom they wanted to dedicate a so

An Illustrated Guide To... Belle And Sebastian

Truth be told, we were initially going to do an Illustrated Guide on the Smiths, given this new compilation is out, but... well, it's a well worn path, isn't it? So many books, papers, articles, thinkpieces, conference minutes and scrawled notes have been penned on the whole story from New York Dolls letters to Severed Alliance and beyond that by now you can probably come up with a decent explanation yourselves that references working class mores, prosthlytising, English poetry, gender roles, ki

The Soundtrack To Your Funeral, Part II: Putting Death In A Box

Since I started to write about DJing one's own going away party, the bark has peeled back from the tree to reveal a world much more fascinated with this subject than I knew. My first clue came casually: "Oh, like in High Fidelity!" I saw High Fidelity, and loved it - but that was a few years ago, long enough to totally forget that Rob Gordon, Nick Hornsby's playlist-obsessed protagonist, had already popularized the funeral mixtape game. Then, I discovered that a mysterious British organization,

Tale of Tales Release New Screenshots of Upcoming Horror Title "The Path"

The Path is an independently created horror game inspired by the ancient folk tales of Little Red Ridinghood, but set in the present day.  Six sisters live with their mother in an urban apartment at the edge of a gloomy forest and each of them is sent on an errand to their grandmother on the other side of the woods.

Oh, no, Mr. Bill. It’s Random Wednesday

OK.  There were a few comments about  “Pirate Ships” yesterday, so I did some more research.  It is actually a song by Wendy Waldman.  I had only heard it as a lullaby and had sung it to my nieces when they were very very very small (I’m not that confident), so I was surprised that it was written in the ’70’s.  I found a version, but it was the only one, and I know it at a bit livelier tempo.  Not fast, but not so dirge like.  So, here’s today’s soundtrack. It’s still very pretty, don’t you thi

Tourism Australia hopes Kidman film lures visitors

The cinematographer sweeps his camera across the Australian landscape, from plains to waterfalls and finally a small and dusty country town. The colour is brilliant and the music of the soundtrack soars as warplanes drop their bombs. “ Australia” is the name of the new WWII-era romantic epic movie, directed by the award-winning Baz Luhrmann and starring Australian screen stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackson. It opens later this month and is being hailed already for its cinematography and

#442. Teaching yourself to breathe underwater.

For the last three months, I've been really deliberate about using my morning commute as a time of worship. I'll pray, talk with God, sit quietly or listen to some music. It's kind of a pre-game for the Bible study I start my day with once I get to work. The problem is that other thoughts keep coming into this "God time." I get distracted so easily that unless I'm really focused on God, I start thinking about Stuff Christians Like. I start thinking about the book I'm writing or my 'to do list'

Empathy for the Devil

When I was a younger, somewhat more ignorant and headstrong college student, my directing mentor and I had a conversation about musicals. We both loved them and had many favorites in common. We were sitting in The Retreat — the secondary, more junk-food-based cafeteria in Vassar’s Main building — chewing the proverbial fat, literally and figuratively. I mentioned in a voice positively dripping with disdain that I thought A Chorus Line was just garbage. Chris said to me the following, uninten

elitaste interviews Apple Juice Kid

From Elitaste Interview by Jamie Benson elitaste recently had the opportunity to chop it up with a producer with an unusual name who had an equally-unusual path to a career in hip hop.

In this thorough interview, you’ll get the inside scoop on his recentl

You’re So…So “Different”

On numerous occasions I have been told by relative strangers and even stranger relatives that “I’ve never  known anyone quite like you before”. These days,  I take the statement at face value.  Before I would’ve pried and insisted on knowing in what context the statement was made.  Not any more.  Now, I really don’t even care the genus of the sentiment; how he or she, for that matter, arrived at this opinion.   It no longer matters, because I insist on believing that it is a positive--regardless

The Sky Crawlers (Sukai Kurora)

Ace In The SkyThe Sky Crawlers seem to live up to its name, that it really took its time to tell a story, but in doing so, allowed for the narrative to sink in. After all, it's brought to us by Mamoru Oshii, and as far as his filmography goes, this Japanese maestro's works is often deep, and have more than enough room for multiple viewings, each time allowing you to take away something different, or unnoticed from the previous time round.Adapted by Chihiro Itou from Hiroshi Mori's story, you cou
