Monday Movie [Parte 3]
Mr. T's Be Somebody... Or Be Somebody's Fool! (1984)/ dir. Jeff Margolis
Absoludricrous pleasures emanating from this home video only release. Part motivational seminar for children, part music video, 100% "First Name Mister, Middel Name Period, Last Name Tee" action. T preaches empowerment through some unholy combination of rap, breakdancing and honoring thy mother. The fashion of the earnest youngsters is something to behold. My housemate swears Fergie is one of them, an IMDb just confirmed this. Time to break out the Kids Incorporated reords.
Someone made an awesome YTMND that plays the theme song...

Of all the genre-defying tracks on M.I.A's new Kala (finally leaked, but out proper August 21), this is perhaps the weirdest. Over a trebly grime style beat and mournful "Blue Monday" chords, she busts out a verse from Frank Black's book, asking the eternal question "Where is my mind?". I might have time to sit around and think about it myself, but our favorite Sri Lankan has been cited all over San Francisco recently and she's looking for a husband. Here I come cutie, grrrrrrrr.

Roundup of some newish tracks I've been feeling, and an older one that I've recently come back to be able to hear again... an incredibly dense, super-busy remix of techno artist Marc Ashken from the ever-prolific dubstep king Ollie Jones that was included on his BBC Essential Mix awhile back... a taste of the kind of bizarre electro that Pilooski makes when not producing ace edits for D*I*R*T*Y.... Claude VonStroke's take on the latest Get Physical release... and past evidence of the brilliance of Joakim Bouaziz.
Marc Ashken - Size 3 (Skream Remix)
Pilooski - Cheikir
Samim - Heater (Claude VonStroke Remix)
Max Berlin - Elle Et Moi (Joakim Remix)
