I was searching YouTube for Depeche Mode's Strangelove and this video came up in the results. I thought it was another cover version by some band. I was wrong.
This band is called Koop and they too had a song named Strangelove.. They are Swedish and they produce all their sound electronically, all the vocalists they use on their albums are guests. This one here is Norwegian singer Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen. Oh by the way, They are melding Swedish jazz beats, female jazz vocalists from all over the world and Caribbean beats from the islands of the Caribbean. And they are making it work. Fucking outstanding.
I like Jazz, I like electronic dance music, I love female vocalists who can sing. Koop is killing me with all three! I'm now a big Koop and Hilde Louise fan.
This came out in 1994. My Korean roommate rented these videotapes at some video store. I heard it and was hooked. K-Pop=goodness
Let me throw some facts in your face:
-Bands name is Marrioner. The song is "Cocktail Sarang(love)" -Yes this proves that asian chicks wearing beanies are HOT. -There was a time in Korean pop culture that everyone wanted to be jamacian. Hence you have the reggae-ey beat and the bermuda pants the fat guy is wearing sporting the colors of Africa -Any Korean over the age of 23 will know it. So all you white boys with yellow-fever, use this nugget and you might-just might, get some trim.
This is a post about nothing. That's right nothing. I have not written anything decent in a long time. Well time is up beeyotches. Put your shoes on and follow me.
1-Barack Obama was elected our president on Nov 4th. I never believed that racist-ass America would elect a black man(you can argue all day if Pres Obama is really black, like Charlie Murphy black, but fuck all that, he's black.) president. As you can tell from my prior posts, I disliked the Republicans so much, especially after McCain announced Palin as his running mate, I had to vote for Obama. I started doing some research on my own, just so I could get a read on this dude. Everything I found out was cool, refreshing and actually nice. I concluded that this was one of the smartest men in American politics.
That was before I even heard him speak.
I cannot remember the last time I even listened to more than a few seconds of what a politician had to say. It was all background noise. But listening to President Obama for the first time was a shock to the system. My thought process was in overdrive, ping-ponging everywhere:
This dudes got a nice sounding voice.
He is not talking politician jibber jabber either.
This motherfucker is smart.
This motherfucker is making sense.
Holy shit is he talking to me?
Man, is this what it feels like to have heard John Kennedy talk? Even...MLK?
That fool made me care about what is going on outside of my front door. Seriously, my generation sucks. We are told that we don't believe in shit, that we were Generation X blah blah ...that we were the children of the information age, that we grew up in divorce, drugs, economic uncertainty, etc... Basically we were a bunch of assholes. Obama told us to forget that shit, we're Americans, we can change shit if we want to.
We have been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Yes We Can biotches.
2)My boy SnapOffMode used to post with me here. Apparently, he's after some trim and wanted nothing 'incriminating' hanging out on the Internet on him. Well buddy, this is for you:
I only care about your safety and well-being. God bless.
My beloved 49ers are sucking ass this season. Before being crushed by Seattle this Sunday, Brand New coach, Mike Singletary (who almost broke shithead TE Vernon Davis in half for fucking around during the game) was interviewed by Fox sideline reporter Danyelle Sargent.
She immediately steps in a STINKING PILE o' SHIT when she says to Singletary 'I heard you called your mentor Bill Walsh...'
Apparently she did not get the memo ...Bill Walsh died last year. The football field they are standing on has a plaque with his name on it...the 49ers named the field after him when he died.
