MTV Movie Awards Promo: Aziz Ansari ft. Sarah Silverman, Diddy, and more... from Aziz Ansari

aaliyah movie

this post was originally going to be about how academy award winning director bill condon has signed on to direct the final installment of the twilight series, breaking dawn. that is the one where (spoiler alert) edward and bella have rough sex and he has to bite their baby out of her and the climax battle is actually an anti-climax where both sides basically agree not to fight. so good luck with that project bill.

but. what i discovered is that according to some unreliable internet sources, bill condon is supposed to be directing a biopic about Aaliyah. can you just imagine. this needs to happen. its not imdb, and has been erased from wikipedia, so it may be all bullshit, but who knows. maybe someone can start a facebook page to make it happen. just look what good that did for betty white.

who is brian eno?

i told you all that i was going to go to a cd store and buy congratulations, the new mgmt album. well i did. (11 bicuits by the way) i went to grimeys. the next day i learned grimey's was voted as the 8th best indie record store in the nation (one of 2 from TN in the top 15). coincidence, maybe.

well, on the album, and on snl, there is a song called "Brian Eno."

this is what andrew vanwyngarden had to say about the track:
“It’s kind of a vampire-punk-rock song about finding Brian Eno in like a cathedral in Transylvania. He’s like a dark wizard. We originally asked him to produce the track, but he hadn’t heard of us.”
i can freely admit that while the name rang familiar, i had no idea who brian eno is. for some reason, in my head the picture associated with the name is james iha's face.

so brian eno, (nee Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno) is an english musician and composer who basically pioneered ambient music and has produced or collaborated on some of the best music of the past couple decades. also, if you had windows 95, he is responsible for the start up sound that you probably have nightmares about when your computer crashes. from what i can tell, this musical theorist and installation artist is basically a genius, so thanks mgmt for helping me figure it out.

i also picked a pony

my pony is named homeboykris. i picked him because i liked his name the best. i also found out that former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is a part owner of my new favorite pony. his granddaddy, and his great granddaddy are both derby winners, so that is something.

the oddsmakers have homeboykris as a longshot, but i think by throwing the full weight of my support behind him that magic can happen. look for him to win.

ok i picked one!

i was perusing the post positions for the kentucky derby, which jicydak is this weekend. g.animalz is going! i knoooooooow. anyway, i've picked my pony.

his name is conveyance.  and if you have any confusion about why i might've chosen this horse, refer to below clip:



here's a list of ponies. leave your pick in the comments!
