NCFOM & Futurecop!

No Country for Old Men and FutureCop!: A good movie alongside the best 80's electronic act of 2007.

Futurecop! is one to check out if you are into steady bass, tons of groove, and nice melodies. From London, Futurecop! sounds like its straight from the 1980's, SuperBowl shuffle and all. Check out their remixes or originals its all good. Top three:

1. Class of 1984
2. NASA
3. Crystal Castles - Alice Practice(Futurecop! remix).

For something similar and equally good check out: The Outrunners - Cool Feeling(Anoraak remix). 

I watched No Country for Old Men for the second time over x-mas weekend and it only solidified my opinion from the first time I saw it. A good movie, an instant classic, but it did not meet the hype as far as I am concerned, although it has spurred me to read the book. I understood the film and I understand the artistic direction taken by the directors, especially when it comes to the cutting of scenes. The cutting of scenes specifically let me down. Some very key scenes could have been elaborated on. Yes, I can make the connection of what happened given the scenes that I have viewed, but thats not why I payed 10 bucks. If I wanted to make those kind of connections I would have read the book. Maybe I am a product of our times, maybe all I wanted out of this movie was explosions, shoot-em' ups, and everybody to go out in a blaze of glory. Wait, we already have that every Michael Bay production, but to call him cheesy is indeed true, and to call many of his movies nothing but special FX with a couple sweet faces, is hitting the nail square on the head. Maybe thats what I was expecting or maybe I was expecting Fargo or Raising Arizona. NCFOM is not a movie to be taken lightly, and its not going to be appreciated fully by everyone, nor by your author today.

Welcome... (Hello?)

With everyone and his brother, sister, and mother, creating a blog these days I felt it was my time to jump into the world wide web of ridiculousness that is blogging. A person needs to be a little pretentious, cynical, and self-absorbed to want to create a blog. Pretentiousness I leave at the proverbial curb when I enter this party. Sure I can drop ludicrous metaphors and two dollar words like 50 cent dropping bottles of Cris at the VMA's - wait aren't they boycotting that sh*t over racist remarks - that reminds me I can also drop pop culture knowledge that will be forgotten in a few weeks, but my point being, I won't. I won't bring pretentious hipster lingo into this blog. I won't make my music reviews sound like comments from a wine tasting. I will be upfront about what I like and what I don't and I will try to have a little fun with it.
