Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kurupt - Ain’t No Fun 

Obviously, the top Nate Dogg contribution to a song. 

And, to quote Ms. Portman: 

I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That’s sort of my scene. Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined … I’ve been listening a lot lately to ‘Wait (The Whisper Song)’ by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, ‘Wait ‘til you see my dick’—which is just amazing because it’s whispered. [whispers] ‘Wait ‘til you see my dick…’ Crazy. So I just listen to it like I’m a five-year-old, like, ‘Oh my god! I can’t believe he just said that!

Frank Zappa - Ian Underwood Whips It Out (Live on stage in Copenhagen)

From Uncle Meat. After stories from Suzy Creamcheese, I was expecting all talk from this track. But then the music abruptly started and I felt like I was at a new job and all I wanted was for things to slow down so I could understand what just happened instead of getting even more new things thrown at me.

The Problem With Music →

essayist:

By Steve Albini Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying shit. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end holding a fountain pen and a contract waiting to be signed. Nobody can see what’s printed on the contract. It’s too far away, and besides, the shit stench is making everybody’s eyes water. The lackey shouts to everybody that the first one to swim the trench gets to sign the contract. Everybody dives in the trench and they struggle furiously to get to the other end. Two people arrive simultaneously and begin wrestling furiously, clawing each other and dunking each other under the shit. Eventually, one of them capitulates, and there’s only one contestant left. He reaches for the pen, but the Lackey says “Actually, I think you need a little more development. Swim again, please. Backstroke”. And he does of course.

To supplement this post.

How Much Do Music Artists Earn Online? →

Worth emphasizing the chart is for a solo artist; not a band. Minimum wage; not mtv cribs. 

The new model. Sheesh.

4-Hour Dentist

Listen: I was once just like you — weak, pathetic, not practicing dentistry. I was a lonely turd spiraling down the toilet of life. Now I’m the most successful dentist in the fucking cosmos. Wake up! You can’t even imagine how amazing my life is. Knock knock. Who’s there? Oh hey look it’s me, earlier this morning, eating foie gras off the flawless naked body of a nineteen-year-old Brazilian supermodel. Fact: I can literally produce more semen in ten seconds than a pack of adult wild boars can in ten years. I’ll let that sink in for a second — okay time’s up! Here’s a true story: I’m writing this from a Bavarian castle right now while my butler shines my $15,000 shoes. How did I get this awesome? Was it because I went to “dental school” or obtained a “license”? Get real!

Be sure to read the whole thing because there is should be a contest for a free roundtrip ticket to anywhere in the world to punch Tim Ferriss in the throat.

Two spaces after a period: no. Further, when the text lines up just so, and that second space is the first character on a new line, and it creates a mini-indent in the middle of a paragraph, Does it make the typist angry? And if this random indent does indeed anger the typist, Do they blame the software they are using because two spaces is the rule?

I’ve started to hate people. It’s not that I have anything against them, it’s just recreation.

I’m so glad Louie got divorced. Now that he’s the middle-aged single guy, we get gems like this.
