SOUND Team - Movie Monster (2006) permalink

Official rating: 78

SOUND team (yeh, kaps are kool), all frantic and smooth, strives for epic, hearty grooves, stealing dance moves from hipsters’ messenger bags and putting it under backwards ballcaps. At its best, Movie Monster churns buttah with a lightning rod, as electropulses bounce around the room like one of those plasma balls with a crack in it. A majority of the album, however, is restrained in non-carbonated rock construction.

Movie Monster’s flaw is that it spans genres of organ rock, dancefunk, and darker grindrock, which all come off as slightly requisite, and don’t combine to form a particularly complete experience. The most compelling achievement is that SOUND team somewhat defines a new, aggressive, frat-synth vibe, which as far as broadening our indie sense of accessbility is concerned, is a worthwhile effort.

“Big Cats & Magic Starring the Fercos Brothers”

so teh gheyThis is highly disturbing. These clowns work at the KidsFest at Dollywood. Yeah. Just when you thought our world was safe from European, tiger-loving, magician couples. I bet they sit in some Motel 6 room every night eating ice cream thinking that they’ll make it one day. God help us if they ever do.

Snoop Dogg banned from Britain

Do you like tapes or CDs?After being denied serious pimpage up in first class, a huge brawl broke out while several Hummers with bikini-clad women standing out of the sunroof pulled up to the scene. After countless bottles of champagne were sprayed over the melee, police stepped in and put a halt to the video shoot/fight.

Timing error strips Gatlin’s world record

Couldn’t they have figured out that 9.766 gets rounded up to 9.77, say, right after the race? Also, how lame is a bunch of dudes trying to beat each others’ records by .01 seconds? Meh.

Astros pitcher beans Bonds, gets standing ovation

I bet if Bonds got nailed in the helmet, his swollen head would explode like a watermelon full of dynamite.

Wife squeezes hubby’s groin so hard, he’s in critical cond.
