Motorhead covering What A Wonderful World. "IIIIIII SEE SKIIIIIIEHS OF BLUEEEEEEE-UGH, RED ROSEHS TO-UGH!"

The Violent Femmes self-titled album. A great album for injecting some energy into a pretty monotonous day at the office.

I've been on a major Townes Van Zandt kick this week. My assistant director had never heard any of him despite being a big Lightning Hopkins fan so I took it as my responsibility to introduce him to TVZ. Needless to say he loves him, and ever since we've been going through what I deem to be the best of the best.
Today I am in the office alone, so I am going in another direction-- Motorhead for 3 glorious hours.

Last Wednesday Peter Benchley's (the writer of Jaws) wife Wendy donated a bunch of money to my office. This brings my celebrity donation record to Stephan and Evelyn Colbert, some asshole from Melrose Place, a NY Ranger from the team that last won the cup, and Wendy Benchley.

Should have bought Troy >_>

Well, it looks like seeing Iggy play live with the Stooges is never going to get crossed off my bucket list. I've seen the Iguanaman, but everyone knows there is something special about the Stooges backing him and Asheton was a big part of that.

I saw a For Your Consideration copy of this earlier in the week and it gets a big ol' thumbs up from Grifter. Rourke's performance was rock solid and lived up to every bit of the hype. Tomei did really well, and Evan Rachel Wood managed to make me give a fuck about her acting for the first time... well, ever.

Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem will always be my favorite band name of all time. MUPPETS FTW.

On vinyl to celebrate his coming to town in a few days for a concert of folksy epicness.

I am not a big Will Smith fan. I enjoy some of his films but I tend to think that he over extends himself as an actor. His dramatic work often comes across flat to me. That being said when he is out there being Will Smith in some stupid action comedy I find him watchable.
The idea of him in a remake of Oldboy makes me cringe though.

I'd honestly hate to see it transition to a comic book because the actors made their characters. It just wouldn't be as likable.
Agreed, while I think that it is certainly stylized enough visually to transfer over, I think a lot of what makes the characters work would be lost--not to mention some of the best parts of the series like Olive breaking into song wouldn't translate over very well either.

Ernest Miller also popped into a frame. Clearly this movie is Oscar bound. >_>
-
That Springsteen song is pretty sweet too.

For a better submission, I am a fan of the SLC Punk opener. Red neck beat down followed by Punk Poster styled credits that set the town for the movie. Oh, and Matthew Lillard before he sucked donkey dick. Not a bad combination.
-
Fuck yes. That is a great story. I have everything the man has put out for spoken word. My first live show was The Rollins Band headlining a show opened by the Butthole Surfers. It was fucking dynamite.
Also on the subject of Iggy Pop, I think it should be required by law that everyone is forced to watch this video once a day. If everyone was as excited to be alive as Iggy Pop is, the world would suck a lot less.

The top 5 albums of this decade
in Music
Posted · Edited by GRIFT
5. Super Taranta by Gogol Bordello
Frenetic, hectic, energetic and... and ethnic? How about: Gypsy. Super Taranta! is the latest effort from Eugene Hutz and his merry band of gypsy punks. With the energy of Iggy Pop's best work, and more old country sound than you can shake a stick at Gogol Bordello is everything that rock and roll should be. This album is relevant and irreverent all at once.
4. …Burn, Piano Island, Burn by The Blood Brothers
...Burn, Piano Island, Burn is the third full-length studio album by the American post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers and perhaps their finest outing. I think Henry Rollins put it best when it comes to the band and the unique racket they make, "The Blood Brothers make music that will save us all."
3. Lateralus by Tool
Remember when Tool released their masterpiece? Well, believe it or not one of the 90's quintessential bands released their discography's crown jewel in 2001.
2. Revolutionary Volume 2. by Immortal Technique
An album that lives up to the hype of its title, R2 is already considered to be a classic hip hop album and rightfully so. Humorous, socially topical, and relentless with his message Immortal Technique used this album to cement his place as the torch carrier for artists like Public Enemy and KRS-One.
1. Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards by Tom Waits
That is right! Grifter picked a Tom Waits album as the best album of this decade! SURPRISE SURPRISE! Well, step back from my relentless love of the man and take the album in as a whole. The prolific songwriter recorded 30 original songs for this album. Oh, and there are 54 songs total that sprawl across three discs-- each with their own feel and character. Each disc is like a different chapter in the same book, and contains all the gritty characters you'd expect from the poet laureate of the gutters and alleys.
