The Jungle Book (1967), torrent
This shit is timeless. Me and Catalina rented all the Disney films last week and we’ve been singing Bear Necessities ever since, me singing the part of Balue, and her being Mowgli… naturally. I try to avoid Disney sequels, especially those with a thirty year gap, I’m afraid its gonna muck up all that I know to be the good book. I’ve not seen the live action versions of this film, but I might be down for it and will let you know how that goes. Did you know that Sterling Holloway, the voice of Kaa the snake, is also Winnie The Pooh? What a swell guy. Anyway, I’ve included the original soundtrack in another torrent for your listening pleasure. Now go dance.

Plot: Inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s “Mowgli” story, The Jungle Book follows the ups and downs of the man-cub Mowgli as he makes his way back to the human village with wise panther Bagheera to escape ruthless tiger Shere Khan. Along the way, he meets unforgettable friends and foes including mad King Louie of the Apes, the hypnotic snake Kaa and the loveable, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo, who teaches Mowgli “The Bare Necessities” of life and the true meaning of friendship.

On another note, i’ve recently decided how i feel about mashup while talked to my friend sam… it’s soulless. Like crack. Just as popular too. A remix is one thing… but when you find that an attention deficit promoting 45 minute album has been in your player for 2 weeks it’s time to check yourself. Sure I’m a little guilty it’s true, but i’m steadily trading in my girltalk, super mash bros, ludachrist, and other for a more classic jam. From now on I think I’m gonna have to keep it reserved for the party, the club, you know… i’m still psyched for the november 11th girltalk show at the crofoot.
so yeah.. Evolution Control Committee, don’t know where it came from… just found it on my hard drive during a party shuffle, and i happen to have a full album. dude btw, wtf is with itunes “genius”, how soon after i turn it on will the federalis be knocking down my door?
anyway… from the bodom of my heart; here’s a hip, samply, funky low-fo replacement for you mashup fiends to ween down. its like cornelius meets jeff beck meets dj shadow. It’s not the kitschy club shit ur used to.. it’s chill, so actually listen to it before you download this and make it your friday night dance party set. get down.

No commentsSantosgold 2008 releases (including A Diplo Dub & Stiffed 2005)

I was wrong in back in oh five when i called Santi White of Stiffed “black NoDoubt”, lol kind of. Though both later leaving there punk bands to exercised their solo career, Gwen Stefani does not have a double-major in Music and African-American studies. Santi White has proven herself through her unique stylings and won much attention with the releases of Creator and L.E.S. Artistes, her debut tracks from March of this year. During the month of April, iTunes featured Santogold on their Discovery Download and sent her hurling towards stardom.
This girl is gorgeous, innovative, and with the release of her self entitled album Santogold (last april) she’s just recently picked up as a very hot club commodity. I know I’ll see more collaborative works featuring Santi White before this year ends, it’s just like a Libra to keep the good stuff coming.
If you enjoyed what you’ve heard please download the albums I’ve provided. If you enjoy this sound you might like No Doubt, M.I.A., Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or maybe even Tegan and Sarah.
Santi White discusses her style and the mia thang.

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay UNRATED DVDRip
If you enjoyed the first one, you’ll be happy to hear the only difference is the removal of the white castle schtick. Wait, i just realized that made the movie worse. These two actors play off each other so well that it feels as thought there may be a genuine relationship off the set, reinforcing the absurdity and irony of the situation they find themselves in. We still got Neil Patrick Harris, a lot of pot smoking, ass & titties, racist humor, and now a right-wing opponent (Rob Corddry). While a few people might not be able to digest a comedy like this, those people probably aren’t high. John Cho and Kal Penn and NPH make you feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Would not see it in theaters, a worthwhile download.
Plot: This time, the boys get themselves in trouble trying to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now, being suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence. What follows is an irreverent and epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild trip around the world that is as “un-PC” as it gets.

Cuil is hereeee.
Everyone has been up in arms lately about the new search engine that was launched today by a former Google engineer. They call it “cuil” (pronounced cool) and well I am sorry to say, on initial reviews (both my own and others) it’s not so cool. Cuil claims to index over a 100 billion web pages (three times that of google), which is great…if the results matched or found what you were searching for. I tried many terms and keywords today and very few times, anything of relevance came up. It’s lacking in media specific searches, like video and photos, and seems to spew out junk more than anything. I mean there is obviously a bias for the computer savvy population. They have been spoiled by the quick and easy to use search engines like Google. Google does bring up lots of junk sometimes, but you can usually find something of use…No such luck for Cuil.

All and all it seems like Cuil could become something good, maybe even great, but at this point, It doesn’t look they are going to be attracting many Google users…

UK artists, Ochre and Ed Chamberlain
Ochre

Christopher Scott Leary aka Ochre is from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. His indie label is Benbecula, Toytronic. I discovered him through Ed Chamberlain‘s music myspace. The word “ochre” originates from the Greek, meaning yellow, but is commonly used to describe the pigment of golden yellow or light yellow brown. Sometimes an artist’s sound is graceful enough to be carried by a color. In the case of Christopher Leary, I’m still deciding how I feel, he’s not as light a contender as I initially thought, with every track I hear more respect is demanded by the intricacy in a score. It’s interesting enough that I share it with you the reader and let you make the call. Be sure to visit his myspace.
from myspace.com/ochre:
Benbecula venture South over Hadrian’s Wall once more to bring one of the most wonderfully written and melodic pieces of electronica to grace these shores. Ochre aka Christopher Leary, first came to the public’s attention via his album for Toytronic in 2004 entitled A Midsummer Nice Dream. During that time and up until autumn 2005, he has offered a steady output of remix work and compilation appearances via the likes of Subvariant, Boltfish, Audiobulb, Igloo and Unschooled.
Where the Toytronic album was a ’best of’ collection of older recordings spanning a couple of years, the album Lemodie for Benbecula, is an especially commissioned body of work.
Ochre’s take on the electronic format takes the medium to its melodic limit, with an orchestral feel and precision that would challenge the best contemporary traditional composers.
Benbecula once again embraces the advance of music within a medium. Rather than pushing the noise envelope via the technology available, Ochre expertly demonstrates that the most complex of compositions can be realised in a human and organic way via technology, possibly more than anyone before him.

Ed Chamberlain

Edmund Robert Chamberlain of Brighton, South UK, his independent label, baselogic/combat. If it weren’t for him adding me I wouldn’t have discovered Ochre. I hope “Styge” moves you as much as it did me.
