Anime Boy Swag

 So apparently its old news that Soulja Boy likes anime. He likes it so much that he made a song about it, and it goes a little something like this:




...
.....

 ROFLMAO!!!!! *dies-Death Noted*

 I actually came across this while looking for stuff for something else I'm gonna write about. I was like 'Huh? Soulja Boy...anime?'. Then I watched it, and this shite was funny as hell! Yeah, its on the lame side, but when it comes to geektastic I don't mind cheesy. Its got that funny kind of lame to it. Favorite lines-'And I'm hot in that kitchen cookin up that anime, anyway, eat the cake, like yo name Anna Mae', 'Anime drop top look like Inuyasha', and 'Hoes on my dick, Cowboy Bebop when I'm blastin'. Plus the mention of being anime-d up in the club! I hate clubs, but I would TOTALLY go anime-d up to the club! Anime girl swag yo, this that new shit. He even has a Death Note mixtape. A Death Note...mixtape!! Even used themes from the series for beats to rap over. Too bad its more lame-I couldn't bring myself to post it or watch/listen to more vids than I did. 2 was 2 too many. Check out youtube if you really wanna know?
 I'm not knockin Soulja Boy's enthusiasm for anime and authenticity of fandom. As an anime fan myself I welcome pretty much any and all other fans, I don't care. Who am I to say what people can and can't like it? I can't wait to see him at a con or something. But Soulja Boy, if you're gonna rap about anime, you gotta step yo game up! You could've at least gave us Crank Dat Anime, shoot.

Brandon Boyd and The Wild Trapeze

 I happened upon an ad yesterday about a new solo album by the ever so awesome Brandon Boyd. I usually ignore ads but sometimes curiosity gets the better of me (damn you curiosity and effective marketing!). Needless to say this was one of those times curiosity won. But alas, the cat was not killed!! The cat was delighted!

 I was taken to the official site for Brandon's album The Wild Trapeze and was greeted with wonderful options. A further click to the Incubus site and I was welcomed with the video for the single 'Runaway Train'. I've watched it about 6 or 7 times, 4 of those being back to back! Almost no surprise considering I have listened to some Incubus songs individually for hours on end. Seems that even just Brandon alone has the same effect.

  There's been little fanfare over the album's release. I believe it came out last week and the video for 'Runaway Train' only just came out a couple weeks before that. Glad to know that I'm not too far behind! Here's what Brandon had to say about his little release on his official Facebook page, which also is pretty new. I definitely swayed, swooned, and reflected at least from just this one single. I'm excited to get the album and do more of the same. I'm looking forward to enjoying this just as much as I've enjoyed his books. Brandon played just about every instrument on the album and even helped direct the 'Runaway Train' video. The cd is limited edition and is also available digitally exclusively through iTunes.





 In other exciting Incubus news (I know its exciting to me), it seems my boys are going back to the studio! The new album has a general 2011 release for now. I can't believe its been almost 5 years since Light Grenades came out! Maybe 'cause I had Monuments and Melodies and its tour to hold me over. Now I can add The Wild Trapeze to that.

Conan Greetings Via The Floo Network

So its Christmas Eve. I'd like to say I'm up right now because I'm just THAT excited for Christmas (well I am...to an extent), but that's not why. I do hope you all-assuming people read this-have a lovely holiday though.

Anyway, its been a little cold here recently in my part of Florida. But I don't have a fire place. Don't have one either? Conan's got you covered! Head on over here to experience the warmth. (Ok not literally, I just wanted an excuse to use an Incubus lyric, but still!) There's a nice fire, a nice jingle, and randomositous Conan O'Brien for your viewing pleasure. You'll also be safe since you won't have to worry about your house burning down!

I think I'm gonna put this up tomorrow to greet all of our Christmas visitors! Or jack my bro's lighter and just pop out yelling 'Hey everybody!' and look like Conan does.


*Bonus points if this reminds you in a weird strange way of Harry Potter talking to his godfather! Double bonus points if you use it to talk to Sirius Black, or at least rig it to connect to the rest of the Floo Network!*

Merry Christmas-Boys II Men cover 'Iris'~Goo Goo Dolls

 Boys II Men are making a comeback! Schkloopin around on the internetery today and came across this video of their recent visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Apparently they have a new album of covers. I'm a sucker for covers-especially when they're done right. With it being Boys II Men and they haven't been around in a good minute I was excited.
 THEN, I saw they were covering 'Iris', and I was ready to die! That's one of my jams from back in the day! That song can come on right now and my sisters and I will break out in song with our best voices (well their best, my closest to John Rzeznik best, but still!) without even thinking about it...and I don't like to sing! I had to watch the vid.
 THENNNN, I watched it, and I did die from an overload of amazingly super spectacular! Watch it, and if you do not like it you deserve to be back handed, by the 90's, TWICE, straight to the 90's where you can do some homework! And I don't want you to come back until you get straight A's in Boys II Men and Goo Goo Dolls!! Shoooot.



They still sound good even though Michael isn't with them anymore. *sniff* And Wanye tie is killin it!


And just for the heck of it, here's the original for you to enjoy:



And John Rzeznik's hair & jacket were killin it in this vid!

New Favorite Piece of the Internet: Anywhere Pogo Is!

Pogo tracks & videos are what you need in your life! This guy uses clips from movies, adds a little extra fun stuff, and its exciting and fun! The music has an ambient/chill sound and are awesome on their own but paired with the visual of spliced scenes from the movie they're amazing. There's a sense of beauty and magic while you're listening and watching. Its fun to see the timing of events, movements, beats, and sounds in their synchronicities. Granted it is a bit repetitive its not a repetition that you mind, I actually forgot about it. I became entranced!! I watched the Hook one 3 times in a row! Then I proceeded to follow and click on every link that lead to him and I had an account on xD Someone said he was reminiscent of Moby and I'll add Susumu Hirasawa to the mix 'cause that's what I thought of off rip.
Its like another way to experience your childhood! He's done movies such as Alice in Wonderland, Hook, Harry Potter, and Mary Poppins. Once you listen-and watch the vids especially-your childhood will thank you.



And now I introduce to you a few of my faves for your enjoyment



Alice seems to be the most popular and the one that started it all





This one started it all for me and is the most exciting & magical in my opinion!





There's a Harry Potter one so of course I had to add it! I love that it uses the spell Ron attempted to turn Scabbers yellow. AND it has the Richard Harris Dumbledore xD





Mary Poppins! This makes the children seem sweeter and Mary even MORE fun!





This one makes me wish the candy store in the mall was just as bangin! I'd be there everyday





This vid's a little different than the others in that it doesn't use a movie, but Vader's got some pretty pimp dance moves. You know you gon' try 'em next time you in the club!

Favorite Piece of the Internet: Crank Dat Harry Potter

I will warn you now, I can be fickle about my favorite piece of the internet. I can be easily amused and amazed sometimes so who knows how soon it will or won't change. Now I present to you my current favorite piece *flourish*-Crank Dat Harry Potter

This was too, too funny to me! I like corny stuff like this. Two geektastics present Harry Potter meets Soulja Boy! My cousin told me about this yesterday, and even though I was getting ready to go to sleep for work I was gonna get out of bed for this yo. I watched it like 5 times and cracked up laughing! If they played this in the club I'd totally dance and go more often-it'd make things more interesting lol

Thumbs up bitches!
