Burn Hollywood Burn

Unfortunately the Lakers have three peated. Ok, Kevin you can quit calling me after the Lakers win, it is over. Thankfully the Nets didn’t drag it out one more game. Time to riot


Democraps say no to ending the Estate Tax. Granted both parties stink, but it just seems like time and time again the Democrats stink a bit more.


Henry Kissinger offers his view of what makes soccer such a remarkable game and explains the game for the part-time fan. This article dates 1986, but is a timeless piece. He also breaks down the different powerhouses and their respective styles. Thanks for the link Paul.

“The modern style of soccer in fact emphasizes defense — with few exceptions like Brazil, Argentina and France. The basic alignment has become four defensive and four midfield players; the forwards have shrunk to two. Massed defenses can in general be overcome only by rapid thrusts involving very accurate passing. The result is a very tactical game, its complexity becoming a fascinating reflection of national attitudes.”

I also have some commentary from a friend over in Germany that I’ll post tomorrow. Scotty whoo (yes whoo, that is not a typo) sent me an email that attempts to explain the pandemonium that the World Cup creates for the Germans.

Interesting article on a WWF wrestler that died of what this ESPN magazine author believes was riods. Mario Di Pasquale is pretty well respected and wrote a great book that I read called the Anabolic Diet. Don't know who is right and who is wrong, but I would say that whatever people want to do to themselves they should be allowed to do. If you want to take X, go ahead, just don't harm anyone else.


Really, who buys this garbage? Eminem opens at #1 again on the music charts, further displaying the decay caused by Clear Channel and the record industry. Please do not support this guy and his horrible lyrics that don’t even broach amusement.

As far as new albums go, a disappointing release by Raphael Saadiq formerly of Toni, Tony, Tone and founder of Lucy Peral. The album contains a few quality tracks, but also an abundance of so-so joints.

A review of the yet to be released Camp Lo album…If this album even comes close to approaching their previous release, six years ago, it will be amazing.

The new URB magazine sampler CD they give you free with a subscription is blazing. The track of the week is on it, DJ Jazzy Jeff (yep from the Fresh Prince) and is titled For The Love Of The Game. His album is dropping in Japan and should be in the US shortly. This track includes the hook “Love what you do and do what you love”, mixed over Jazzy’s beats. URB is the best magazine for a mix of house, trance, dance, hip-hop, and other eclectic sounds.

Marques Wyatt, For Those Who Like to Get Down is a hot release that dropped a couple weeks ago. Check this CD out, with plenty of pleasant tracks, like the cut “Days Like This”, you won’t be disappointed. If you have broadband or have speakers at work, check out KCRW and you will hear some of Marques’ quality joints and other fantastic music. If you live in Santa Monica, you can just arrange the dial on your radio and groove.

I’m out like the Nets, Argentina and France…
