just a quick update - no i'm not on blogging hai-ya-toes - i just don't have significant craps to make cupcakes. but here's some updates for my adoring fans from all over:

• eargasm: Bombay the Hard Way: Guns, Cars, and Sitars and Bombay the Hard Way 2: Electric Vindaloo. those two are collections of the finest 70's tamil/hindi movie soundtracks. the former was mixed by dan the automator with help in the drum section by dj shadow, two of the hippest djs of our time.


• movies to watch: a scanner darkly, augustin, king of kung-fu, death of a president


• seen: art school confidential


• worth mentioning: the longest nite, quite possibly hong kong's best export, ever. ever ever. it's totally gripping, especially the 80's sounding pseudo-electronica (sounds like the synthed bass lines to sweet dreams by eurythmics). unarguably tony leung's finest performance, ever. ever ever.


• must get: pan's labyrinth, nine lives and three times.


• justin timberlake - no i don't have the whole album, but is it just me or is justin timberlake one of the most 'emerging' pop artists of our time? i mean, the two songs that constantly play on radio, my love and sexy back feature the coolest synths and grooves ever, evah


• muse: i want free ticket, yo

and finally: ganges a go-go, inspector jay's big break, and my guru.

right, i'm gonna go find dil se. now, can someone recommend a good A.R. Rahman CD?

and i finally finished reading my first book the year: Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men. it's a children story book, yo, with fairies and witches and headless horsemen and tiny blue drunk men and dreams and other stuff you find in Fairyland, Fairyland, yo.

listening to: ganges a go-go

DJ Shadow - Broken Levee Blues, from the upcoming album, The Outsider. it's a phat album, yo. guests includes david banner, lateef the truth speaker, q-tip, keak the sneak, e-40 and christina carter. the dude will play in sillypore this coming august, 5th to be exact.

listening to: dj shadow - backstage girl (feat. phonte c).

one: the pussycat doll's buttons is the worst song to get stuck in your head. especially when it's a freaking 36 degrees outside. and hazy.

two: gnarls barkley's crazy cancels them pussycats out.

three: please lord oh sweet lord don't let violent femme's gone daddy gone get stuck in my head.

listening to: gnarls barkley - the boogie monster

questions, just so i remember them: fiona apple

which fiona apple album would i recommend to a newbie: tidal

what is my favorite song from tidal: criminal.

what is my favorite song from when the pawn....: none

what about extraordinary machine? get him back.

anyways, my favorite song at the moment is sucker by peeping tom, featuring the luscious voice of norah jones. peeping tom is a project of mike patton, the talented frontman of the band faith no more (remember the song epic?). the album is so freaking good - i hope peeping tom is not the last project of its kind by patton. about this song: it's somewhat portisheadesque, but the key element is norah jones evilly-sexual and dissolute voice. it ain't the best track in the album but heck, it's rocking!
