my friend mike uploaded this mix he made awhile ago called Cut Class & Eat Paste. i know i hype a lot of mixes on here but this is easily Top 3.

I made this mix in 2003.
One hour of layer-upon-layer of funky drummer beats, Ultimate Breaks and Beatsploitation rapps, disco breaks, bongo mayhem, scratchin’, funk, all cutted and pasted and editededed.

i don’t know why but i was searching for a screenshot from the final blues brothers car chase scene and came across this madness

i can’t believe somebody broke down that scene in terms of physics.

i was going through my youtube favorites and was reminded of the awesomeness that is this motion man video

is there rehab for people who say the word “awesome” too much. i abuse it

i’ve been saying “that’s what you think” a lot recently. i don’t know why, i just think it’s an amusing saying just like “you’ll never work in this town again” and “you’re dead meat” i also am a fan of the word “goner” i’ve been saying that for decades. anyway, it reminded me of this found note somebody submitted to found magazine that simply said

to the guy upstairs- THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK!

i laughed so hard. if someone left me a note like this i’d think it was so awesome. angry notes usually involve profanity or threats. i wonder what that was all about.

anyway, found magazine is still doing it and have since published a book of found polaroids and started the “dirty found”(nsfw) chapter with 3 issues so far.

here are my all time favorites:

hello rosemary’s baby! look what i found. if i had more time to kill on the interweb, i’d spend it this way. if only money were involved, i would be all over that. don’t test me!

inflatable robot street purchase, said robot in my living room staring at me ominously (possibly waiting til i fall asleep to kill me), young with a new BFF, the attic, serg wiped out from a “wipe me down”, jay h. and jp, stuff and other stuff

a “wipe me down” consists of 3 different shots of poison. i won’t evar mess with that stuff.

mac dre energy drinks are supposed to make you upright with energy

“if i had a myspace page this would be the default photo”

i might have mentioned this before but i like j. howell’s characters a lot, makes me laugh hard and say “it’s shred time!” randomly in my daily life like some kind of hesher tourettes syndrome: punks git cut animation

oh yeah bun b was at the phoenix last night and i didn’t know and stayed at home hermiting. yeah, i’d be jealous too.

god, it’s been a while. this movie is so entertaining and hysterical. “i came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.” roddy’s sunglasses are stylish again wtf. i love john carpenter.

please be real, lawyer dog.

he looks like richard gere to me.

do you want to laugh? okay.

so um here is a skull made from melted rock cassette tapes.

i like spiders on my tv, but if there were one in my room i’d freak out big time. anyway, bolas spiders are so cool. they use a single thread of silk like a lasso to capture moths flying by. and they will capture many during a lasso session and wrap em up, like saran wrap for later i guess.

trapdoor spiders have really interesting behavior as well. they dig small tunnels and construct a camouflaged door amongst sticks and leaves to hang out in. when they feel something move up above, the door springs open and the spider snatches it up in no time. i would be so shook if i was a cricket.

i used to not be able to stand bobcat goldthwait because of his horrible horrible faux-neurotic voice he used most of his comedy career. it was murder on the ears and i think seeing him in police academy 2 as officer zed might might have been one of the very first times i experienced a feeling of annoyance, a mood that would later visit me pretty often throughout my teenage and young adult life. then suddenly bobcat just stopped talking like that years ago and seemed mildly funny in interviews. and i liked him more after his involvement with the chapelle show. i still don’t like gilbert gottfried though.

anyway, i saw that photo of dr dre at the mtv awards looking scary swoll and i remembered he had a thing with singer michel’le when i was in grade school. then i started wondering if that minnie mouse shit was really her natural speaking voice because she had vocal power when she sang. seems kinda suspect.

i will say that i love cary grant’s weird mid-atlantic accent and it is totally affected. but i like it cause it doesn’t sound like anything else. i don’t know how to describe it but i looked on wikipedia and they describe it as a weird hybrid of upper and working class. and he manages to make it sound natural.

this is the type of stuff i think about when i’m spacing out at work. is that weird? i am curious.

edit: i found an audio clip of Cary Grant! funny, it’s one of my favorite lines from North by Northwest.

seriously, what is that?

diane reminded me

I have no idea how I did not know about Mike Birbiglia, but better late than never. i had comedy central on early evening when he was hosting the friday night standup showcase (i forget what it’s called). he’s goofy and self-deprecating and i LOLed a few times.

ok, now i feel guilty that it seems like i don’t love my mom because i just hyped my dad really hard. sorry i was just really happy to find that pic of him that i thought i lost. i love my mom, even though she drives crazy

i have tons more more vietnam photos of my family from the late 50s and 60s that i need to scan.

i must tell you that i have a strong urge to go fishing just so i can see if i can remember how to gut a fish. yes it’s completely disgusting.

oh my god. my dad is so handsome. i’ve had his passport pic at age 20 for a long time and i realize 2 years ago that he had a don mattingly harrison ford thing going on. i thought i lost this pic and then i found it when i was cleaning which pretty much made my week.

My friend Serg who i mention a lot here aka the Beer and Rap guy had his Hard As Fuck 3 cd release party at Madrone. all hardcore rap like MOP, Trae, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross UGK etc… no singing or Justin Timberlake allowed, hahaha. i was intimidated at first that i wasn’t going to know what to do because i am a child of the 90s as far as hip hop and r&b is concerned. But surprisingly a lot of the tracks played i was familiar with because he hyped so much of it to me throughout the years. anyway, it was a lot of fun. there were a lot of folks there that i hadn’t seen in a long time.

it was so weird seeing ben wearing this shirt because i was talking to jason about this earlier about this night being one of my hilariously embarrassing memories in recent years

tommy photoshopped this graphic of serg riding a dolphin over the golden gate bridge based on this pic of serg that one night at the phoenix hotel where he posed for us on the bed all sleazy and burt reynolds like. so i put that dolphin graphic on a shirt and wore it to his party. in a gold museum frame though, because i think it is a masterpiece.

and i had added a little something extra

the sky yesterday and this morning was completely surreal….and the sun was red!

here’s why.
