this blog is a visual notebook of inspirations for a group of bandit bloggers. we post things we see and like. our lives don’t revolve around singular topics and neither does our blog. sorry! nothing is in-or-out of context here. enjoy xx
save the beard, glasses, and ill-fitted suit – you never looked this cool as an actor
what ever happened to joaquin phoenix after his hip hop daddy hoax? i must say, i liked him for it for a minute, to throw away everything for nothing, although he behaved (acted) rather childish even as a fake character… wonder what came out of the mockumentary “i’m still here”? did anyone see it? worth the time or not? by dd
thanx terry, but no thanx lady gaga. doubt if anyone who’s actually reading this blog will disagree with your “so controversial” message but will you please shut up and stick to your deeply progressive pop lyrics? you know, like that line “baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers”…which made such an impression on the youth movement of today. we’re a little sick of every two bit celebrity taking up “a cause” to blatantly further their career.
first off the bigots in washington who are creating such absurd laws don’t exactly listen to your albums, let alone your advice. secondly, half the members of the senate who voted in the law are probably closet-case-queens pandering to their redneck voters. they are doing exactly what you’re doing. in other words, doing whatever it takes to further their career. if you guys actually have a brain to think and care for something, how is it that all the concerns are around such agreeable issues within your audiences? that’s because your PR handlers tell you what causes to take on. god forbid any of you stand-up for something you care about that happens not to be popular within your “customer” base, like zero population growth, G8, indigenous people of (insert country here)… i guess those guys don’t buy concert tickets, or do they? by xy
even trendy guys need a summer job sometimes. any clue who used to take care of an ice cream cart in the 80’s? just a hint, that is not andy warhol by kt
talking about music greats… saw a nice docu film on fela titles “fela kuti: music is the weapon” loved this one song which i did not have. it was released on felas own kalakuta label originally as no other label would touch it at the time. finally 20 years later, MCA released it in the year 2000. i just ordered the cd! here’s the clip from the docu and the song authority stealing.by dd
the old get older, and the young get stronger. may take a week, or it may take longer. they got the guns but we got the numbers. gonna win, yeh we’re takin’ over.by dd
hailing from NYC, the moldy peaches, in one form or another recorded some great music in the early/mid 2000’s. inspiring the strokes to pete doherty no less, they are worth a listen if you have not heard them. enjoy. by mc
this is hilarious, an 18 piece white band with the token black man signaling the end of racism back in the early 70’s… all singing about their mommy. very cute.by dd
don’t know why but i have been listening to cat power and devendra banhart almost exclusively. i recently bought their cds on amazon as the mp3 downloads i had where just not of good quality for such amazing music.by dd
