I hate socialization. I'm anti-socialization, and it's all horrible. The Paris Hilton-ization of our daughters is really grotesque and disgusting — and so's the bullying. It's just pimp culture. All of American culture is pimp culture. Do you ever think about leaving America then, like Nina Simone did? Yeah. I do, but then I think I'd want to go someplace safe. But there's nowhere safe. The whole world is America. You've gotta just stay and fight. My son's 11, and he said last week, "Where can I go where I won't be drafted?" What's more upsetting, if they don't bring the draft back, it'll be working-class and poor and drug-addicted people just out of prison. It has to be all kids. I'm pro-draft. Rich people have to pay too. That's democracy. You're giving plenty of money away. Yeah, I am, and I'm proud of it. I hesitate to say, I've given more money away than any other person in my position. When you ask people in Hollywood to give you money, they say, "I'll show up for that benefit." All these stars are so corrupt and sickening. You think showing up for a picture is doing something? … They have these huge benefit luncheons where they get six billionaires, and they raise $200,000. It's vile. I was happy to have it and happy to give it, and I still am. I don't want to go to hell. Read more at the LA Times

According to a report from Fox News,, British Invasion group The Dave Clark Five and not Grandmaster Flash "should have been inducted on Monday night." According to their sources, Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner 'ignored the final voting and chose Grandmaster Flash over the DC5 for this year's ceremony." "Jann went back to a previous ballot instead of taking the final vote as the last word," my source insisted. "He used a technicality about the day votes were due in. In reality, The Dave Clark Five got six more votes than Grandmaster Flash. But he felt we couldn't go another year without a rap act." Read More

According to Billboard, "Digital sales volume in its many configurations now accounts for 15% of total U.S music sales," and over 30% of the Indie's market. "We can pretty much count on the digital percentage being greater with each release than it was last time," says Andy Kotowicz, head of sales at the Shins' Sub Pop label. "But right now we still spend most of our resources on trying to get people into stores and buying the physical records we shipped. There's not much of a risk in having people not download a record. There's much more a risk in getting records returned." Source

FHI: Re: Sugar Hill (In) the early 1940s successful African-American entertainers moved into West Adams Heights (in Los Angeles) and dubbed it “Sugar Hill.” But Whites opposed the integration of West Adams. Among the famous residents of West Adams Heights/Sugar Hill was actresses Louise Beavers, Hattie McDaniel (the first African-American to win a Oscar-Gone With The Wind), Earl Grant (jazz organist), and Ray Charles & Lena Horne (below). Their efforts were rewarded in 1948 when the United States Supreme Court declared racial restrictions housing unconstitutional. Soon West Adams was the place for wealthy African-Americans who quickly became the dominant group. The first African-American to run for city council was Courtland G. Mitchell who lived in West Adams Heights/Sugar Hill at 2048 South Oxford Avenue. The late 1950s/early 1960s the Santa Monica Freeway cut through part of West Adams. The Freeway also divided West Adams Heights/ Sugar Hill. Some of our most significant home were lost to the freeway project and the area began to decline through the 1970s. *** The house below still exists. Sugar Hill is now most associated with the successful rap label and the Sugar Hill Gang.

first half didnt as far as rock was concerned. the second half saw a fusion of rock and jazz, mostly good stuff with the exception of Disco

Lamchop Returns!!! With ARCH ENEMY

The Verdict with Paul Newman Screenplay by David Mamet Judge Hoyle: Summation? Galvin: Well...You know, so much of the time we're just lost. We say, "Please, God, tell us what is right. Tell us what is true." I mean there is no justice. The rich win; the poor are powerless. We become tired of hearing people lie. And after a time we become dead, a little dead. We think of ourselves as victims -- and we become victims. We become weak; we doubt ourselves; we doubt our beliefs; we doubt our institutions; and we doubt the law. But today you are the law. You are the law, not some book, not the lawyers, not a marble statue, or the trappings of the court.

‘Purely Political Motives’ in Outing, Ex-Agent Says WASHINGTON, March 16 — Valerie Wilson finally spoke Friday, after almost four years at the silent center of a political scandal that touched Washington’s most rarefied circles of government and news media. ...“My name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior government officials in both the White House and the State Department,” Ms. Wilson testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in a hearing room packed with reporters, photographers and spectators. ..She said the security breach might have endangered agency officials but also “jeopardized and even destroyed entire networks of foreign agents, who in turn risk their own lives and those of their families to provide the United States with needed intelligence. Lives are literally at stake.” Ms. Wilson said she had long been aware that her identity could be disclosed by foreign governments. “It was a terrible irony that administration officials were the ones who destroyed my cover,” she said, and did so “from purely political motives.” Read more at the NYTimes

Akabu - Phuturebound (Ame Mix)

Here are the short takes: 1. Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now (1979): You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... 2. Jack Nicholson, A Few Good Men (1992): You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know - that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. 3. Marlon Brando, On The Waterfront (1954): Remember that night in the Garden? You came down to my dressing room and you said 'kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson'... You was my brother, Charlie. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum. Which is what I am. Let's face it. 4. Samuel L Jackson, Pulp Fiction (1994): The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. 5. Michael Douglas, Wall Street (1987): The point is, ladies and gentleman, is that greed - for lack of a better word - is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind. And Greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. 6. Peter Finch, Network (1976): I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the streets, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. 7. Ewan McGregor, Trainspotting (1996): Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, Choose a big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends... Choose your future. Choose life. 8. Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry (1971): I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk? 9. Richard E Grant, Withnail and I (1987): . What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, paragon of animals; and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dusk. Man delights not me, no, nor women neither, nor women neither. 10. Mel Gibson, Braveheart (1995): You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!
