de la Maury

I just saw this over at name that music video.

I love Maury and I totally forgot this colab with De La Soul happed.

I applied for a PA job on the Maury show but they never called me back. When my friend Brian on Maury I almost died. He was not the father, but I did make him promise next time he goes one hes going to get Maury to sign a head shot for me that says “Mrs. Buttersworth, you are NOT the father! <3 Maury.” Did you know that Maury sells clothes for babies that say “I met my daddy on the Maury show?” I want to have a kid just to make dress them in this!

Crazy subway people

Just when I think I’m getting used to crazy subway people there is an even crazier assed subway person. The other day we met one of the craziest ladies, her name was Paper Girl. And she wanted to “live with animals and all that shit.” I don’t know why she told us she wanted a tiger and a monkey but I’m glad she did.

Her craziness ended in her giving us a copy of her music video. She had like 3 spindles of DVD’s. When we asked her what kinda of music she did, she was like ” you know its like different and stuff, its like hip-hop but a little funk, you know.” I thought I knew but I had no idea. She let us know her plan to sell out Madison Square Garden with out a video on MTV, then she hustled off the train.

We took a sec and started to be all “damn she was she crazy?” Then she came slamming up against the train door like albino twin soul stealing midgets were chasing her. But it wasn’t albinos she was just screaming that this wasn’t her stop. We were glad she didn’t get back on, cause she was crazy.

We really didn’t know how crazy she was till we got home and popped in her DVD. And this is what we got we got, a 1987 made in the mall lip sync video to 50′s “I get Money.” It wasn’t different, it wasn’t funky, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t hip-hop. Despite that it was only a little wtf, until the shower scene, then it was a big WTF.

enjoy:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luWgUv20YYs[/youtube]

p.s. i think i might be a racist cause i am escared of albinos. but i reconize the problem and i am working on it.

Indian Condom Song

I guess they have a big AIDS problem in India. So big, that they need a PSA of singing dancing condoms telling people how and why to use them. My favorite part is when the condoms tell us they are for gay people too and there is a diagram. These condoms are silly. Here is the video and I pulled an mp3 of the song just for you.

Mrs. Buttersworth: On Fabio

I can’t wait for the day that the world thinks I’m sexy enough to put out Mrs. Butterworth – After Dark.

fabio-album.jpg

Any ways Fabio put together a sexy mix cd of his favorite sexy songs for being sexy to, and they are quite sexy. But I guess Billy Ocean, The Stylistics, Barry White and Dionne Warwick were not sexy enough for Fabio so Fabio laid down a few sexy tracks of his own. Fabio got together some sexy music and gives us the privilege of hearing his sexy takes on such things as: Romance, Inner Beauty, Films, Tropical Islands, Humor, Surprises and Slow Dancing.fabio-recording1.jpgfabio-recording2.jpg

Music is very important to Fabio and myself, and I think Fabio said it best, “Music speaks for me when I cannot put my feelings into words.”

Brutal Deaths

death.jpg

They say things die in threes. Two of my favorite things died this week, and its only half over, I’m escared.

Monday: The all time worlds best record labels, Gold Standard Laboratories, called it a day after 14 years of amazingness.

Tuesday: Robert Goulet died after 73 years of classiness.

GSL was the label that showed me that if you make enough noise someone will listen, and then others will listen. They were like the “if you build it people will come,” field of dreams of record labels.

(now that i think about it sonny kay is totaly my musical costner, the man can do it all)

Goulet showed me how to dress, drink a cocktail, treat a lady and how a white guy can play Don Quixote.

goulet.jpg
Any ways here are some of my favorite Goulet and GSL tracks.

GSL (there is a million more id put here but i have to catch a plane):

die princess die – Spearhorse

Rash Modernaire – The Wick

de facto – Cordova

The convocation of. . . – Beyond The Beyond

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez – Deus Ex Machina

Subpoena the past – Sphere Of Influence

400 Blows – The Beauty Of Internal Darkness

out hud – Hominid Hump

I am spoonbender – The Teeth’s Loan And Trust Co.

Goulet:

Goulet on the simpsons

A Man Without Love

Green Tambourine

My love Forgive Me

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

I what is going to die next?

(note the mp3 of Goulet’s Begin To Love its toally fucked up, but i think it sounds even better that way.)

Packages of Love / 2 Fans

297117227_cfbb2a44b8_o.jpg

I cant believe none of us have posted this yet.

While The Action Figure, The International Voice of Reason and myself have been involved in a number of different projects together none has captured the power of our love like Packages of Love.

Formed in the wee hours of the morning after countless beers and sing-a-longs with 2 Fans. We formed Packages of Love.

Where 2 Fans do amazing covers of Chicago, Foreigner, Alice Cooper and George Michael, Packages of Love will only cover Brian Adams, more specifically only Brain Adams songs used as theme songs for movies in the 90′s. So we got wasted and did “Every Thing I Do” from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. (thats some good costner).

20060420231011-everything-i-do-bryan-adams.jpg

Thats the only one we ever did but I’m sure we make our way further down the list some time. I really want to do “All For Love” that Brian Adams did with Sting and Rod Steward for Disney’s Three Musketeers. (thats some good keifer, sheen,and oliver plat!)three_musketeers.jpg

Here are a few tracks from 2 Fans and Packages of Love’s epic rendition of Everything I Do.

Matt & Kim dance party

bmattandkim.jpg

I know I probably the 9 millionth person to write about how Matt and Kim are the greatest, but they really are.

Happy kids w/ drums, key boards and music that just make you want to jump jump. There is nothing else I really want in life.

If that wasn’t enough Flosstradamus had to go and give um a remix and turn the dance party into a wet dream.

Here is the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6pi7k8PiHQ

Now download the song and wish you were as cute as they are.

The Odyssey

artist_3263_symphonyx.jpg

My roommate teaches kids fun things like The Odyssey by making boats with them.

I want to teach kids The Odyssey by playing them some fucking metal!

Symphony X did the world a favor and composed a 24 min. metal epic version of the Odyssey.

About 8 min. of it are amazing! The other 16 border on terrible and hilarious.

I guess they ran out of material for songs about orcs and dragons I guess it must be time for cyclops’ and greek gods.

Death to false metal:

Warmen aka Sexi Finnish Metal BOIZ!

warmen

(They are HOT! I KNOW! right?)

The Action figure was rocking out to some Children of Bodem the other night. And I was all like “Dude, Bodem is some sick shit my metal brother.” and he was all “the fucking shred dude.” then im like “man have you heard Warmen?”

Warmen is the keyboard player player from Children of Bodem’s band. They are mostly instrumental high speed prog power metal with a harpsichord.

Man I can’t wait to get my copy of Metalocaplyse. Brutal!

Here are a few Warmen tracks!
