Army with Harmony – I’ll Drop Some Weird On You

001

I’ve got a serious soft spot for the work of Harmony Korine.  I’ve tried to explain it to several friends on a few occasions, and failed miserably.

My favorite piece of work by Korine happens to be his now out of print novel; A Crack Up at the Race Riots.  I would call that a novel, loosely.  It’s more a collection of poems, one-offs, dialogues, suicide notes, jokes, and a few things that would make a billy goat puke.

A Crack Up at the Race Riots is one of my prized possessions, if you will.  It’s the second funniest book I’ve ever read.

Rather than try to explain (or scare you with) the reasons why I admire Harmony’s work, I thought I’d post a few of my favourite clips from his films, and a classic appearance on Letterman.

On The Offensive: Relax, It’s The Weekend Edition

This poor little blog gets no attention from its owner anymore.  The good people at Fanball.com and RotoTimes.com have been kind enough to allow thesilencekid the opportunity to cover the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Raptors on a full-time basis, so blogging time is at a premium these days.  With that said, we’ve got a few tasty treats of the link, picture, and video variety here today to offer as a lame apologetic offering to thy dear readers.

The Definitive List of Songs That No Dude Should Have on Their iPod

There isn’t anything on this list I can really disagree with, although my personal level of music snobbery could probably nominate another four-dozen or so songs and artists that signify how much of a pussy you are for listening to them.  (NextRound)

AIDS Is The New Risk

I’m going to avoid making any jokes about the serious battle for Africa that appears to have taken place in this routine game of AIDS.  (Afrojacks)

Thank Christ that our good friends ScarFilms finally got this up on YouTube.  I give you:  Police Heat Redux!

Most North American military ventures over the past seven years have been epic failures.  I don’t want to slam the soldiers, they’re just doing their job, but watching this dude try and slam-dunk a basketball is pretty fucking funny.

I like my weekends long: Random Springsteen Observations

large_bruce1

Today we have a special guest contribution from thesilencesib-ling.  The silence kids took in last Thursday’s Bruce Springsteen concert, but we’ve been laying low due to several outstanding bar tabs that we may or may not have knowingly dashed on.  Here’s what we remember though:

  • Catching Springsteen live is like turning on your television and discovering you have free porn.
  • The reverend of funk, Clarence Clemons is one unique individual, plays a mean sax.
  • Springsteen is still hot at 59-years old.  Probably would have taken the chance to bone him if there was one.
  • He could have played a little less from The Rising, considering it’s not very good.
  • Tunnel of Love and The Rising could probably battle it out for lamest Boss album.
  • During the encore Bruce played a Keltic rock song for over seven minutes.  I fucking hate Keltic rock.
  • He closed the night with a rocking rendition of “Glory Days” and I’ve never seen so many white people’s arms flailing about in an audience.
  • Thankfully, he didn’t play that Tom Hanks AIDS song.

Thanks to the “sib” for her contribution.  Keep “slappin’ da bass”.
