May The Schwarz Be With You

After both The Kid, and the homie Zac, lit a fire under me about this no blogging shit, I thought I'd sneak in a quick moment of appreciation for Space Balls. Mel Brooks at his best. I had a tough time picking which clip to post, because this flick is an end-to-end burner, but I think you'll agree I chose wisely.

Incidentally, I just recorded a verse for the new J Wess album the other day where I actually used the term 'ludicrous speed.'

Oh, and umm..... one of the greatest entertainers of all time died..... Madoff finally had to take the L for all those billions he stole and will shortly be taking bubble baths in corporate prison..... and my man Hugo Chavez is thinking about sending troops to Honduras coz of that zany military coup that's going on, which has ousted his Red-friendly pal Zelaya.

But seriously - Space Balls. Get on it.

Constipation (I Can't Blog)

I can't post, because my Internet provider is Optus.

Do I really need to say any more than that?

When you reach your cap halfway through the second week of the month, you're either running some kind of bootleg enterprise, have a serious porn addiction, or are stuck with one of the crappest service providers in the universe.

In my case, all three are true (just jokin' you know I love you ladies).

So I can't drop my various truth bombs on you. I'll just leave you with this:

The other day I was in the supermarket and a light dark skinned individual said to a dark dark skinned individual, "Why don't you go back to your own f*&%kin' country?!?!?"

The dark dark skinned individual, very quietly and calmly, walked up to the light dark skinned individual and gave them a solid push in the shoulder. Then they silently walked away.

I was quite happy with that response.

J Wess Tour Diary: Flo Rida September '09

J Wess was just announced as the surprise third act on the bill with Flo Rida and Jessica Mauboy, and given how integral I am to all things J Wess, I'll be along for the ride. Things kick off early September in hometown MEL, then we spread out across Oz from there.

Reason #29 Why TWNR (It's Two Cats, But I'm Calling a Tie)

DJ Quik is definitely one of the most underrated producers of all time, and Kurupt is arguably one of the most underrated Rappers - but more than that, I just love these cats. I grew up on N.W.A. and Ice Cube, so the West will always be the jump off for me.

Anyway, they've collaborated on a new album called BlaQKout. You should probably get it.

LBL Cool J (Wess) & Digga

I'm a pretty humble cat. I've done a lot of stuff that you'll rarely hear me talk about; co-writing and performing on an ARIA nominated LP, Gold plaque on my wall for a Top 10 track, performing to 30,000 live plus millions on TV for annual Channel 10 Australia Day celebration, and on the day I lost my virginity I also found $20 on the street - but all of that pales in comparison to my recent and crowning achievement:

There are performing Lady Boys in Phuket who use 'Bang This' (J Wess feat. Digga & Kulaia) as part of their routine.

We've got quite a good track record of strippers using our songs (what can I say, we make great sleazy music), but this is next level.

I've included the clip for the song, complete with me decked out in corny '05' FUBU jersey. Niiiiice.


Don't Watch The Bad Bad Lieutenant

Cry people, cry now. Cry long and mournefully, for that crazy crack pot Kraut Werner Herzog has decided to do a remake of the classic Abel Ferrara flick The Bad Lieutenant.

Now, normally I would have nothing against Mr. Herzog (he's done some great stuff with that nutso German actor who's name I can't remember - Nosferatu, Aguirre etc.) but Herzog's really pushing it this time - Nicholas Cage is gonna star in this thing.

I've included the trailer of the Harvey Keitel 'as God intended it' original. Enjoy.


The Very Best Of Leon Black

This dude is definitely an unsung hero of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and although this clip is a little on the long side ("you got some long a$$ balls, LD!"), it repays perserverance.


Incidentally, I always thought this dude looked a little like Inspectah Deck from Wu Tang (pictured above, previously one of the reasons why TWNR).
