The new Brother Ali cd, The Undisputed Truth, is fantastic. This, coupled with his awesome show at Rock the Bells, has made him my favorite new mc. Buy his CD. Come on, he’s a giant legally-blind Muslim albino! How can you not buy his shit? I’m not particularly great at writing music reviews, so I’m not going to even try to explain why this cd is awesome (that’s Murch’s thing) . Listen to it for yourself.
If you haven’t heard of the Discovery Channel series Planet Earth, then you’re living in a tv-less cave and being lame. It’s probably the greatest nature documentary of all time and it’s all around amazing. Some of the imagery they captured is simply breathtaking, watching the DVDs makes me wish I owned a hi-def set-up. Furthermore, the use of illegal drugs makes watching this series 80x better (or so I’ve heard), although you often find yourself getting quite upset when wolves/hyenas/mean carnivores take down a deer/antelope/baby-whatever. I think my favorite moment is the bird mating dances in the “Pole to Pole” episode, especially since I can sympathize with the bird utterly striking out.
Also, a lesson learned from my recent jaunt down to DC to visit Stat and Fluffer: When Fluffer is black-out drunk, do not expect him to be able to navigate around the city that he lives in, even if you’re only trying to get to a bar that is two blocks away.
Finally, I just watched the full season of Heroes. All-in-all it’s a pretty kick-ass show but the season finale 1. sucked incredible ass and 2. was so predictable that I predicted it roughly 2 episodes into the series. Ugh. I hate cool things with sucky endings (see: Hyperion cantos: “oh, no the indescribably awesome AI-god/killing machine from hell is defeated by the power of…LOVE!” or His Dark Materials “the evil angels who usurped God’s power and are ruling the universe are defeated by the power of….LOVE!” wtf?)
It’s my birthday tomorrow.
