DEATH – ‘Politicians In My Eyes’
In the long storied history of rock music’s rebel musicians I put Game Rebellion at the top of my list. Not so much for the work they have already done but mire for their potential to change the urban music soundscape. They have all the talent of a Bad Brains and all the good looks of a Boyz 2 Men. If they were white they would be the pop music perfect storm combining teen angst with socio-politically conscious lyrics. The band also has that pop music prerequisite which is called sex appeal.
Game Rebellion has been on their grind for a minute and I try to encourage them by reminding them it takes ten years to become an overniight success in the music industry, unless, of course, you are Asher Roth, but despite all of that I stll have high hopes for the band. What are you doing tomorrow night? Why don’t you come down to S.O.B.’s and hang out with me and watch Game Rebellion do their thing?

Pr0n & Pong 4 That Anus [ll]
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
My homey DAMON BROWN who writes for Playboy put together this book that describes the arch that video games have taken in bringing the reality of sex into the gaming culture. Since I stopped gaming way back in the early nineties I missed a lot of the watershed developments within the culture.
I never played Lara Croft: Tomb Raider so I don’t have the emotional connection to her that most gamers hold. So much so that there is a method of unlocking the game to let the character play in the nude. I did for a time go in on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The creators of that game were geniuses and DAMON thankfully chronicles their story as well.
Pr0n & Pong shows the starts and stops as the industry tries to incoporate more adult themes within gameplay and the resistance that these games find within and from without the culture. P & P is a good read for anyone who is an avid gamer and wants to learn a little bit of the backstory to the entire industry and some of the most popular titles.
Most of the gamers I know use pr0n separately, but this book begs the question that I am now asking, “why can’t we all get along?” Pr0n & Pong is the only guide to better understanding pixelated poontang.
DOOOOOOOOOOM!

So you know I have been stanning ridiculous on the new DOOM album ‘Born Like This’. It is so good it’s pushed ‘808s & Heartbreak’ from the rotation in my iTunes as the album I play straight through to inspire my madness. So good indeed that I was motivated to put together another fanboy video.
A few months (or maybe a year ago) I put together an MF Doom compilation CD and issued it along with a Fantastic Four comic book and a Doctor Doom Marvel Icons action figure (C.S. calls them dolls and I hate that). Shout to the folks that actually PayPal’d the kid some bucks for those sets.
I ended up going to eBay to buy another Dr. Doom action figure since I had shipped away all the joints in my collection. When the package arrived this week I plotted my video shoot. Even though the figure has many points of articulation it still wasn’t as posable as I had hoped. I played around with a few different looks but the best one is the look I kept repeating.
I set out this beautiful weekend with an unlimited Metrocard and my backpack filled up with cameras and equipment to film Dr. Doom taking over New York City, or at least just enjoying the gorgeous weather.
From Clinton Hill to Times Square we encountered curious and concerned tourists who feared for my life as I shot some of the scenes while lying down in the middle of Fifth Avenue traffic.
I take this shit real serious when I get inspired. One day I will have the budget to hire the people that have the talent to let you see my crazy visions.

Believe it.
