While we’re out

Sorry, BALLDEEP.TV is getting majorly overhauled today.
Please enjoy this clip from Eric Rohmer’s PERCEVAL instead.

With these two videos, Chamillionaire way outdoes the expected mediocrity of made-to-be-viral music tie-in vids. Plus he demonstrates that he shares our interest in cross-race body-paint and California culture.




Sorry I forgot about you, Cham…

(Though neither vid even touches the dark, bizarre hilarity of this. And maybe thats the problem?)

Worthwhile debates: T.I. vs Lil Wayne

Its’ a totally stupid question, right? One’s the “King of the South” and the other’s “The Best Rapper Alive” and thats it. Separate spheres, separate criteria for success. It’s like comparing…oh…I dunno:

So why is this mixtape such a track-by-track emotional rollercoaster for me? Is it for you?

(PLEASZE ENJOY “WHO GOT THE CROWN PT. 2″ BY TAPEMASTERS INC. It got me through Russia.)

I Fuckin Need You More Than Eva

Last weekend W and I were proud to attend the wedding of Andre Frechette III (superstar of Blood Stew (or the Country Club Killer); Christmas in its Youth; O Nurse!; Jazz Christmas and Blondes in the Jungle). Congrats Andy and Val.

And…I’d like to add that I’m very aware and very thankful that I belong to a generation where, when the wedding band sings “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, it sings the Old School version. Not that we weren’t already screaming it anywayz.

While we’re on the topic of superballads, Nilsson vs. Mariah is a worthwhile debate. Settle it.

OMA God!

Rem Koolhaas, too OLD to be generation X, has once again outpaced Generation Skank with “Obvious Classics #1″, the new line of T-Shirts by Prada/OMA. Witness these designs:

Hey, have you guys ever thought about getting me and Whit a gift? Maybe you can all chip in on something.

P.S. Holy shit: “Feel Dutch”. I just noticed that.

No more Jews


Dudes. I think Boris was the last one. And we killed him.

Just got back from Moscow where I was shocked to see NO JEWS. Seriously none. Kinda weird from growing up here in East Coast USA where you meet someone who says they’re Russian and its almost implied they’re Jewish too.

That’s of course the explanation - as soon as they could they all left for here or Israel or wherever. Still though none was a surprise. It’s like that Ray Bradbury story where all the black people leave America for outer space. All the Jews just got into their spaceships and took off (no portman).
