Brohemian Rhapsody

Remember, Remember The 5th of November

Happy Guy Fawkes Day everybody. If you are unaware of the significance of Guy Fawkes or the 5th of November, it was on this very day that Guy, an English Roman Catholic attempted to blow up the House of Parliament and kill King James I and by doing so ending the protestant aristocracy. This attempted act became known as the Gunpower Plot. However, Fawkes was captured just before igniting the gunpower that would have set off the explosion. He was then tortured for four days before confessing to his crime and was found guilty of treason. His punishment was to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, considerably the cruelest form of punishment, in which you would be hanged until near death, then disembowled, and finally beheaded and having your body cut into four pieces. Afterwards, the 5 pieces of the criminals body (the head and four sections) were then put on public display. Fawkes however, escaped the worst part of this punishment by jumping from the scaffolding he was due to be hanged from causing him to break his neck and die before they could disembowl or quarter him. Today, Guy Fawkes is seen as an English revolutionary and was ranked #30 in the list of 100 Top Britons as well as being included in the 50 greatest people from Yorkshire. Now, every 5th of November the English celebrate the capture of Guy Fawkes with a night of fireworks. So go about your day as usualy but remember, remember the 5th of November.

Open Your Mind You See The Circus In The Sky

Niggas say they wanna bring the 80's back, that's okay with me, that's where they made me at. This video is on some other ish and the more I listen to this soundtrack the more I am impressed by it. GO PICK IT UP!!!.

I'm Like A Fly Malcolm X.....Buy Any Jeans Necessary

My apartment finally has internet and cable. It's about time.

This past week has been pretty wild to say the least. I've gotten to see a few people I hadn't seen in a while which is always a good time. My American Heart was in town for a show with Just Surrender and House of Fools so I went. Brought the guys some Capital Lunch so they could see what New Britain is about and I'd have to say they enjoyed it. House of Fools were really cool guys, it was a lot of fun getting to hang out them for the day with MAH. You should check them out at http://www.myspace.com/houseoffools.

American Gangster comes out today and although I've seen the bootleg I'd still like to go see it. This is definately a movie that would be amazing to see on the big screen. Denzel just doesn't do bad movies. And of course, the soundtrack to this movie is unbelievable. Jay-Z makes up for a less than stand out performance on Kingdom Come with an album that can't help but remind you of his Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint days. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing the two albums, Jay-Z will never be the man he once was, but this is a definate pick up. Some stand out tracks are Say Hello, Blue Magic feat. Pharrell, Hello Brooklyn feat. Lil' Wayne, and Ignorant Shit.

I'll try and get some of it up real soon.


My homies got blogs son. Check em out to know wut the cool kids are doin.

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself

Well, we still don't have internet or cable in our apartment but we have made the appointment to get both installed. Along with those two utilities we are also gettin a home phone. Yup, I've made it to the big time now. Things have been going pretty swell recently, I've been casually moving more things in while working fairly regularly and the place is starting to feel more and more like home each day.

I was talking to an acquaintance of mine from California today and he told me he had recently finished editing the Soulja Boy video for the song Soulja girl. While on one hand I think the song is pretty bad, on the other I think it's cool that he was hired to do the video. He also showed me these two videos that are pretty recent.





Hilarious.

The New Apartment Is Live

Well, we made it. We're finally into our apartment and I must say its pretty sweet. At first the electricity was off but we found the switch in the closet and were able to get it on. It sucks that I have to work tomorrow so I won't be able to give it the proper braeking in it deserves but soon. Anyways, time for bed.

Black Kids

Black Kids are a relatively new indie pop rock band out of Jacksonville, FL. I'd have to consider them one of the better bands I've heard recently. They have a sound pretty similar to Tokyo Police Club who are really talented as well. They're demo EP Wizard Of Ahhhs is up for download on their MySpace page. Listen to their song, I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You below.
