Gome of the Week
This chap got into a fight with his girlfriend this week, as he apparently stormed into the Hollywood Video where she was working and threatened to kill her. Seems they were having a disagreement about what gang their four year old should join. Yep, society's gonna be juuuuuuuuust fine.
This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Found Sound - Raphappy's newest addition. Check it out for some really random recordings.
This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Shelter Island (2003)
Let's Make Biff Watch Stuff, Vol. 3
Once again this week we have an all-star cast. Ally Sheedy and Patsy Kensit star as lesbian lovers who just want to get away for a quiet weekend. Stephen Baldwin and Chris Penn are the pervy guys who prevent this from happening. There are a surprising amount of graphic, Cinemax-quality sex scenes, so don't watch this with your in-laws in the next room, as I awkwardly did. The movie starts out pretty good but throws a third act at you that just seems to make things more complicated then they really need to be. And just for the record, I am pretty sure that both stars used body doubles so don't get yourself too excited.
R.I.P. to the almighty Chris Penn.
Love, Biff.

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Chilliwack - Lights From The Valley (1978)
This rotating group of Canadians were apparently pretty popular at some point in the 70's. I could see that, they've got sort of a polished prog rock thing going on that would have played well in that time period. The musicianship is pretty top notch. The lyrics are just overflowing with wussery. Four of the ten songs have "love" in the title: "How Can You Hide Your Love?," "(We Don't Have To) Fall In Love," "In Love With A Look," and finally, just to let you know how they fared, "No Love At All." Maybe next time.
This Week's Hip New Slang Word or Phrase
Threadjack Swing - A stylish mix of R&B and hip hop that icyhot listens to while he's threadjackin' on our boards.
