Bangers. A poem by Daniel Finnerty.
bangers.
as a dj, i don't play bangers.
the focus group wants bangers.
i would make more money if i played bangers and spent time building with folks who make and listen to bangers.
i enjoy not playing bangers.
i have a day job so that i don't have to feel pressured into playing bangers.
bangers.
so last night I went to a screening of Planet B-Boy, a documentary based on the global phenomenon of b-boying that is premiering at Tribeca Film Festival this month. so they follow crews from Japan, France, Korea, the US, and document their lives up to a huge event in Germany called the Battle of the Year. it's pretty focking dope, and I'm not saying that just because my cousin was involved in producing the film. the footage is unbelievable. I've seen a lot of breakin videos, and the quality of the directing and the way they provide insight in the lives of the dancers makes the film really interesting.
check the trailer:
new spinnerty mixtape y'all.

ok, now read bozak's killer post
whats the deal with easter? paint some eggs, snack on candy all day, later eat a ton of food. I think it was an acient druid LSD party back in the day. dont those smashed up eggs look like a tie died shirt? happy easter everyone, avoid the brown acid.
random thoughts:
who else is feelin' a move to france right now? between not having rapping politicians and, well, more and more bad news on the political front im just getting tired and carmudgen like. I see the american flag and no longer think of dope shit like air jordans and gangster rap. I see the stars and stripes and think of american cheese, the worst of all cheeses. I like cheese and take that shit serious. So Im like hmmmmmm. the thought procees is: Karl Rove - politics - america - air jordans - gangsta rap - americas current state - kraft slices of american cheese. I think god is telling me to move to france. Brie anyone?
yo, whats up with the bulls? they are lookin pretty tight right now. I think the playoffs are going to be something fierce this year. most rounds will be like the final match in Over the top.
is that redman album any good? I heard 4 songs and felt like it was throwaway material from some never released eric sermon compilation album that was made showcase his "stable of in-house artists" . I apreciate that I didnt hear much that sounded like it could be lumped into the mims, lloyd, chris brown, young jocc catagory. but yo.
actually i think he should have bought some dilla beats. that would have been sickadelic.
contrary to what he would like you to think, I think Guiliani should NOT be voted president despite the hand he played in the shitty upbringing of his kid. Compared to running the shotty state of affairs of the home of the free, the brave, and the crappy cheese, I think raising a kid is practically as easy as growing a chia pet.
PBS is the new ESPN. The new roster of cooking shows is off the chain and puts food network to sham-ola.
Is it me or is kirk heinrich the last specimen of the hamlich-barry-west-stockton type player in the nba? we need to clone this guy quick as im getting reaaaaaaaal tired of all the jason williams wannabe's. Side note, when you look at kirk don't you get the feeling he does hardcore shit like goes on solo cattle drive spanning from texas to colorado in the offseason? he got that grit.
nowadays they saying you DONT need 8 glasses of water a day. 4 is better. what? does this make any sense? AND they say its fine to replace applejuice, pepsi, or something like coffee for your glass of water. PLUS they are saying you eat 2 glasses of water a day so you only really should drink 2 glasses of water a day. ?????. so we went from it being a big deal to make sure you drink 8 glasses of filtered water daily to making sure we drink 2 slurpees. How does this happen? who ok's that press release? Once again, this is the home of kraft slices.
I am buying a skateboard soon and couldnt be more happier about it. The fountain at westside park is drained cuz its not warm enough for them to turn it on and I cant wait to carve that shit up. So I have been researching what deck to buy (I always took this seriously) and am bummed to find out that there arnt really any cool companies anymore. not only that but the artwork SUCKS!!!!!!. Man, I really miss 92-93-94. that was the best time for graphix. people straight up jacking logos from all industries, blatantly jacking at that. damn, that sounds smooth - blatant jacking. I think thats going to be the name of my first 12" the b-side would be something like "takin' suckas out with much flava (to tha next level god)". I miss that too, dope song titles, and coincidentally the best era for this was 92-93-94. You know what else was better in that time frame? Hockey fights.
you know what else was better? wrestling. For real: i avoid wrestling. im not down anymore. its toooooo gay. gay is ok now, but i have no interest in watching gay porn. no i dont. for some reason the wrestling now seems a couple steps closer to that. back in the day it was such a spectacle, there was such novelty, that it was playfull. Now its more hardcore. there are no weird gimmicks. its just a couple sweaty ass dudes with wet hair and a mustache wearing torn leather. ehhhhhhhhh. I think thats why they take breaks from the guy on guy action with some girl on girl action on occasion. but yo, i m not into those girls one bit. who is? I dont fantasize about girls with big arms. do you do that? thats weird. big arms are weird.
whats lacking in wrestling:
animals in the ring, especially snakes
sissy managers on bullhorns
playing off of racial stereotypes (i know im a bad guy for saying this but i thought it was hilarious and it was done tastfully, case in point "Slick" the black wrestling manager/ pimp)
paint on faces
paint in hair
bizzaro tag team duos that seemed to come from another planet (LOD, the rockers)
having to pay for losing: getting your hair cut, getting a wad of cash stuffed in your mouth, a snack dropped on your head, etc.
names like " the red rooster"
thats all kiddies. il drop some more thoughts when I have some. happy easter, and enjoy your kraft slices my fellow americans.
This is absolutely ridiculous...I am speechless...not sure whether to be offended or happy that these republicans look like complete dumbasses...and like what's up with the token black dude?!!! he should be donkey slapped for even agreeing to such ridiculousness. did they think that would make that act credible?!
