  • "Smuggler's Blues" was raw. Don't have much to add to this thread that hasn't been said already, but the Short Eyes album is really good. As for Curtis' effects chain; it sounds like like a fuzztone into a phaser for the lead breaks.

  • The whole thing is depressing. A really good English-language book to read detailing the situation is this one. El Narco, by Ioan Grillo. http://www.amazon.com/El-Narco-Mexicos-Criminal-Insurgency/dp/1608192113 Possibly the best ex…
  • The Yellow Sea was good. The previous film by the same director ( The Chaser) was a little bit better. Just tighter plotting and it didn't bog down over 2.5+ hours. Some good ones to check out: The Good, The Bad, and The Weird . This …
  • The first Death Grips mixtape is entertaining. If you're a fan of random dudes shouting and obvious rock sample flips, it's definitely worth a listen. The newer stuff is restrained like the seatbelt in the Guillotine video posted above. Sounds like …

  • ^I'm not that dude, but since it's 'strut appreciation month, here's 2 cents: The Town was alright. Affleck's a good and getting better director. The book it was based on ( Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan) was a direct re-write of Heat. …
  • You get to call yourself a New Yorker approximately 3,650 days after your arrival in the city. This is the law. Midtown is pretty rough food-wise. This should help a little bit: http://midtownlunch.com/
  • crazypoprock said:I can recommend my neighborhood of Prospect Heights / Crown Heights or "Pro-Cro" as the realtors are calling it these days. It's an express stop on the 2/3/4/5 line and it's still very affordable even though it's gentrifying rapidl…

  • You gotta dig for the gold, Tuco. Cutthroats 9 - Probably the most violent Western ever made. Features a cast of characters so downright low, you're gonna root for all of 'em...to die. All the Django films- Seriously deranged. In a similar Italo…
  • As far as I know, you can only obtain a legit copy through the distributors, who want some bonkers amount of $ for a single VHS (!!!) tape. I actually liked that film a great deal. It was a good visualization of a lot of Kodwo Eshun's theories ab…

  • The Thing. No question. Yeah...the widescreen version.
  • M.O.P. Really though. Like having your brain melted by energy + high volume. I saw De La Soul and....wait.....Lauryn Hill at a launch for Al Gore's cable network. It was surprisingly all-around amazing. Both were solid and fun to watch.
