New Susumu Hirasawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Hirasawa is always cause for celebration even if its all covers of old P-Model songs (Susumu Hirasawa's old band from the 80's)Check this radical tune out I have it spinning on repeat like its the last song in the world. Once I scrape the money to import it I'll put it up on some rar site for those who are interested. Until then enjoy!

The Vice Guide to Travel

I have always enjoyed travel shows as a fun way to kill some time. The little pristine villages of western Europe and the megalopolises of Asia have been the subject of countless documentaries and Travel Channel rehashes, and sure they are interesting but it's getting old. The Vice Guide to Travel is the answer to that and more.. Unlike The Travel Channel's filtered, squeaky clean version of reality, Vice dives straight into some of the poorest, dangerous and fascinating places on earth. Don't believe me? Just copy and paste the link below.

I spent an afternoon watching The Vice Guide to Liberia and North Korea and was blown away by what I saw. I will never, never, NEVER complain about my lot in life again after watching this, especially the piece on Liberia. My vocabulary is completely inefficient to describe the crushing poverty and violence that is an everyday reality for these poor people. Maybe it hit harder because they all spoke English and could convey their suffering in my own language. Ugh. Well if this hasn't turned you off yet head on over to youtube and get your learnin' on.

Bluberella preview

It's not that I'm excited it's more like preparing myself to get hit in the stomach. The one thing that director (and I use the term loosely) Uwe Boll has going for him is that he's not Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, but then again if you can't be the best at being the worst then why even try? This is a guy who earns a living adapting video games to film and calls his critics retards, oh sweet sweet irony. Anyway if you have a few spare brain cells to kill check out this mess on its way to a bargain bin near you. Mad props to twitch.com for the heads up.

Scott Pilgrim

Damn it. I was wrong. I thought this would suck. I sat down in the back of the Ceres library looking to kill a few minutes but instead stumbled upon the best manga I have ever read, and it's not even Japanese. What I do hate is being the target demographic because this took dead aim at me and hit. Damn it. Scott Pilgrim is a fairly benign harem comedy with kick ass fights in one of my favorite fantasy worlds ever. Pilgrim's world is much like ours but with RPG elements. Bad guys drop loot when you beat them up, sword proficiency can be acquired in the 5th grade etc, etc. Something this dorky can easily come off as pretentious and alienating but it's surprisingly human and perfect for what it is. I'm kind of sad that I discovered this after the series had been completed; I would have loved growing up with these characters like I did with Harry Potter and Star Wars.
