Steady Hatin – 2009 The Year In Hate

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Being that we are world class hatologists and it is the end of the year it is only right that we recap all of this years people, places and things that deserved our hate:

octomom

0212_octomom_pregnant_pictures_ex5

Alaska I dont hate her as much as i hate people that give a fuck about her.

Blockhead Like most people, I hate her never ending vagina but i also hate that she looks like angelina jolie if she was a two week old water logged corpse.

A-Rod

a-rod-face-full-of-mitt

Alaska – He finally got his title but he still has purple lips and dates a 14 year old boy with a blond wig….oh thats kate hudson? my bad.

Blockhead – Never trust a man with manicured eye brows and highlights in his hair.

Lady Gaga

293_lady_gaga_022609
Alaska –
It lets you know how much new york sucks now when she is the most interesting thing to come out of new york since 9/11.

Blockhead – Lady Gaga has the image of a lunatic avante guarde street performer yet creates the music that makes drake look like mozart. Because of this, she sucks. She also very likely has a small non-functional penis but that’s more funny than anything.

Glen Beck

glenbeck3-758166
Alaska –
He is a blue collar comedy performance artist right?

Blockhead –
I’ve never seen or heard this guy talk. All i know is that the looks like a guy who will likely have a heart attack in the near future and he probably has morton downey jr breath

Tyler Perry

tylerperry

Alaska – like oprah with a beard, and i dont mean steadman…BOOM!

Blockhead – Another guy whom i’ve never seen or heard. From what I can gather he’s some sort of transexual deacon, right?

Kate Gosling

0507_kate_gosling_video_launch

Alaska – Cuntiest face ever

Blockhead – Cuntiest cunt ever! But seriously, caring about her is almost as bad as being her.

Adam Lambert

adam-lambert2

Alaska - Jack Lambert is rolling in his grave

Blockhead – As is Christopher Lambert. word to the Highlander.

Sarah Palin

sarah-palin-b_3

Alaska- Her face has the same shape as the guy in mask:
143984_main

Blockhead – I’d hit it.

Bret Favre

favre-cries

Alaska - I actually love watching his annual December/January collapse.

Blockhead – I’m not a big football guy so I really can’t say much about this squinty ginger.

Michael Jackson

michael-jackson-goofy

Alaska - Another dead creep, see you in hell fucker. Fuck him and fuck people who are saddened by the news, they should be sterilized.

Blockhead – I was playing basketball when I heard he died. I stopped for a second then continued with my jumpshot. That was the last time I gave a thought to yet another famous stranger I didn’t give a fuck about dying.

Michael Jackson’s Kids

michael-jacksons-kids-pictures

Alaska - they look like japanimation characters

Blockhead – They showed their faces? As far as I know, they look like Saudi Arabian women.

Wives of Politicians and Athletes Who Cheated on Them

tiger-elin-woods

Alaska – thats what you get for being frigid

Blockhead – Tiger Woods is a nerd who got rich and famous. This allowed him to live out all his sexual fantasies. I honestly don’t see how anyone can hate him…except his wife but fuck her anyway.
The Cast of New Moon

Alaska - I dont know anyone in this but they all strike me as high school drama kids doing an episode of dawsons creek for their school play.

Blockhead – I don’t hate the cast nearly as much as the retards who made this movie as big as it was. if it wasn’t for some good porn, I’d suggest rounding up all teenaged girls and dumping them off a cliff.

Rihanna

rhianna

Alaska - If i have to hear any more about how brave she is i might choke her out

Blockhead – She’s beginning to have patti labelle hair and that’s not a good look for anyone.

Ryan Oneil

ryan_oneal

Alaska - You look like a lesbian
Even I’m not old enough to remember who the fuck this guy is. I know he fucked his daughter or something but who cares? Micheal Jackson died yo!

Balloon Boy

kanye-vs-balloon-boy_466x335

Alaska – Hey dick, at least do the world a favor and fall to your death, instead of just hiding in the shed or whereever the fuck you hid

Blockhead – This was the year of shitty parents whoring their shitty kids with hopes of making some shitty reality show that would be watched by shitheads.
Terminator Salvation

terminator-salvation-poster-2

Alaska – Is how i imagine herpes will  feel in the future, boring and painful to look at.

Blockhead – Didn’t see it. I was too busy watching “baby boy” on cable 4 times a day for the last 5 months.

Bullion – Say Goodbye To What / Crazy Over You

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

bullion1

A little something new from British beat wunderkind Bullion.

The A-side of the 7″ sounds a bit like a skewed version of a 60s west coast pop-psych song. I can’t tell if the vocals are in Japanese or just oddly filtered. It reminds me a bit of Koushik’s work, which is a complement.

Bullion – Say Goodbye to What

The B-side also does a bit of time traveling, but only to the 80s. Imagine somebody messing around with an 80s pop song featuring a male vocalist (one of those slow spacious ballads), adding some harder drums and all sorts of distortion and fuzz and delay, almost akin to chopping and screwing. Then add some noises reminiscent of a space ship taking off. That’s the best way I can describe this. Seems strange on paper but it works.

Bullion – Crazy over you

Check out Bullion on myspace and buy his stuff on itunes.

Marion Barry (DMV)

Everyone that lives in other regions of the world thinks they know DMV now because they downloaded a few Wale mixtapes and heard about Diamond District. No disrespect to those artists at all (who’ve definitely gotten a dope buzz in the scene) but, just like cities such as L.A., New York, Chicago, and etc., there is more than enough talent to go around. For the older heads, some of you will remember such artists as Nonchalant, Questionmark Asylum, or even Section 8 Mob. If I were to mention Opus Akoben, you may know who I’m talking about but most of the time you either know them from living in DC or being overseas in France (where they were popular). Funny thing is, previous articles in the City Paper about the hip hop scene in DC being overshadowed by go-go but until over the past decade or so the two have been merged together more than ever; this doesn’t include the remakes of popular hip hop songs but the actual go-go based production (i.e., Best Kept Secret) and go-go based bands with a hip hop feel (i.e., Mambo Sauce). With that said, here’s an older mix of DMV shit that I made for those who want a taste. You’re welcome, bitches. –Ardamus

Father Scott Unlimited – “Sweet Potatoes”
Flex Matthews – “ROTY”
Head-Roc feat. Noyeek The Grizzly Bear – “Tarzan”
The Insurrection – “Exquisite Fck U”
Mr. Cliff – “Hypnotichronic”
OSV – “What Does It Mean?”
Panacea – “Classic”
Poemcees – “Glasses”
W. Ellington Felton – “Dear Kanye”
Young Raven ft. L. Blev and Dre Carnegie – “Round Here (pt. 2)”

Flavor Flav – I’ll Never Let You Go (video)

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

This is easily one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen all year. Flav, crooning an R.Kelly-styled love ballad. With autotune. Shot in soft pastel hues at locations previously used for Sarah Mclachlan video. I honestly can’t even tell if this is meant to be serious or an extremely elaborate parody.

With autotune

Truly mind bottling.

Ari Roze – Rolling With A Planet / Rolling With A Dub

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Folder

This right here seems like a song that’s destined to end up on some obscure psych compilation 20 years from now, issued perhaps by Finders Keepers or maybe Stones Throw\Now Again.

What it is – an unholy collision of electro-soul, reggae and freakyass jazz, where layers of woozy narcotic bass and keyboard swirl in with all sorts of weird synths and distortions and sound effects. While all that is going on, the odd barely harmonized and slightly off-kilter vocals plead with the listener to ‘show me how to roll with a planet.’ Judging by the overall vibe of the song, I’m assuming the guy is trying to score some tabs.

The guy himself is an Australian by the name of Ari Roze. Unfortunately I could find no info on the man, nor any more work from him. For the sake of the story we can assume that Roze is some sort of Aborigine shaman who cooked this up while drinking fermented platypus milk on a walkabout through the darkest reaches of the Great Kangaroo Pouch In The Sky.

Ari Roze – Rolling With A Planet

But wait, there is more. There is a dub on the b-side, and it might be almost better than the original. Here the weird vocals are stripped away in favor of some slow burning jazzy horns (possibly some melodica too), while the tension between the bass and keyboard is cranked up just a bit to unnerving effect. And of course, as this is a dub a few more strange sound effects and a bit more distortion are thrown in for good measure.
