Gome of the Week
New years resolutions:

You know you can never keep them.

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
The New Year - Everything you ever needed to know about the new year.

 

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Tenacious D: The Complete Master Works (2003)

You can try not to like the D, but you gotta admit they are damn funny.

I got this for Xmas, and I mostly wanted it for the short lived HBO series which is included here in its entirety.

Also includes some concert footage and some other random stuff like videos and what not.

Jables and the Rage.

Worth the wait.

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Paris - Sonic Jihad (2003)

Paris is back and mad as hell. About time. As expected, he attacks Bush, the war, and the government in general.

With some help from Public Enemy and Dead Prez, Paris brings the hip hop the way it should be.

I was waiting for Sleeping With The Enemy part II, and this is it.

Check late January for deluxe editions of his previous releases. Worth the money and the wait. One of the best rappers that you have probably never heard.

 

 

 

This Week's Hip New Slang Word or Phrase
new year's cleave - What the ladies show so they can insure a smooch at midnight.

Usage - "Dude, that coug I was with last night had it on like Donkey Kong."
