Anthony Is Right

Why the hell is this playing at Cobble Hill Cinemas? Is it on consignment or something? Did Busta Rhymes buy the theater? Tangentially, the other films playing are New Moon, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Precious and Old Dogs—-all of which are also showing at the nearby Court St. megaplex. I really wanted to see The Road without leaving Brooklyn tomorrow. Hard life, I know, but isn’t Cobble Hill supposed be the art house (or at least middlebrow) alternative? And could they really not find a more original name than Breaking Point?

If only he sounded like him.

Hungry For More Eamon?

The album I Don’t Want You Back isn’t a classic, but there are a few worthwhile follow-ups to the title track.

“I Want You So Bad” is Frankie Lymon unbound (“I just want you close to meee! I’ll get you wet! Just wait and see!!!”).

“I Love Them Hos” pays tribute to the ladies he meets on the road over a Flamingos sample (“If you still want to fool around, you can catch the next greyhound…”).

“On and On” is his tenderest announcement of sexual prowess, recently chipmunked by Flo Rida (“Every time I finish, I could see it in your eyes…I freak it like you like it then you want some more, let’s explore the bedroom floor…over and over and over…”).

You’re welcome.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO EAMON??? There are a million R&B singers as profane as this guy was, but they can’t seem be bothered to contrast the rank-out with old school tunes. Wish Eamon would try a belated milking of the shtick like Shifty Shellshock’s underappreciated basket of “Butterfly” rip-offs, Happy*Love*Sick. At the very least, I’d enjoy it.

(The audio is slightly off above because the uploader was kind enough to lay the explicit audio over the video. If you haven’t heard “I Don’t Want You Back” in a while, it really deserves a revisit.)

Lou Reed, “The Original Wrapper.” Live at Japan Aid, 1986. Damn, his science is too tight! Feel that saxophone hook.

Don’t mean to come on sanctimonious
but life’s got me nervous and little pugnacious
Lugubrious, I give a salutation
and I rock on out to a beat that’s really stupid
Ooh poop ah doo and how do you do
hip hop, gonna bop till I drop.

AOL is splitting from AOL Time Warner to become some nebulous ‘content providing’ entity known as Aol. Let’s celebrate with the dulcet tones of a dial up modem.

beep boop boop beep beep, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dee doo dooooyeo, dooooyeo dee doo… dee dee dee dee chhhhchchchchchch BEE BOONG BEE BOONG PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ah, the internet equivalent of walking three miles in the snow to school. I can’t wait to harangue my kids about it someday. (Also, the modem in this audio clip goes a hell of a lot faster than any of mine ever did).

Twilight Singers, “Clyde.” Imagine if this song was the first single off an N’Sync reunion album.

He’ll tell us what to listen to! I didn’t get it together to contribute to this (too busy waffling back and forth on a decade-end project of my own), but I’m excited to see what these little SOBs came up with.

Back in high school, my friend (and future groomsman) Tyler and I watched eight Friday The 13th movies in two days for the teen page of the local paper. I can dignify posting the most memorable and baffling scene from Friday The 13th V: A New Beginning by noting it’s Saturday the 14th, but I was already planning to before I realized the coincidence. Happy birthday, dude. Ooooh, baby.

(trivia: the actor in the above scene later went on to star in Juwanna Mann)
