Wu-Tang VS The Golden Phoenix (RZA’s movie trailer)

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

I could geek off for a while on various things in this little clip, but still…. I’ll mercifully spare you the 70 paragraph essay which would be the result.

Apparently there was another, longer trailer for this last year that I somehow missed, you can see it below.

All thanks to When Art Imitates Life and Grandgood.

BTW, I still have faith that the Bobby Digital movie will surface one day. I don’t even expect it to be good, I just want to see RZA beat people up with a hockey stick. A cleaned up version of the now 15 year old (!!!!) trailer for it popped up on youtube in late November with a tag “Coming Soon To DVD”, fingers crossed. Here it is for nostalgia’s sake.

Jimi Hendrix – Valleys of Neptune (stream)

Friday, January 29th, 2010

So I’m basically stealing this whole post outright from Spinner because frankly it’s too good not to. This is a stream of Valleys of Neptune, a first look at what to expect from an upcoming compilation of the same name featuring previously unavailable-ish Hendrix material to be released on March 9th. I threw that ‘-ish’ in there because this particular song and possibly some of the others in this collection have appeared in bootleg form before, however I’m assuming the sound quality offered here will vastly trump the previously existing versions.

Stream the song below, and read on for more information.

Jay Electronica – are you watching closely?

Jay Electronica continues to mindfuck the internet.

Are you watching closely? – go here for an mp3 of Glass Everywhere, some videos, a brief discography synopsis, cryptic messages and presumably at some point soon the delayed Act II mixtape.

This was a lazy post so to spice things up a bit here’s an attractive girl with glasses and great breasts.
