Knewsick Shows Its Teeth

Well now. Seems like 5 days before the album's official release date, you can listen to the closing titles from Michael Wandmacher's Piranha 3-D score. Oh boy. Seriously.

This is the kind of badass music that makes you feel like your d!ck has grown 9 inches.

Even if you are a girl.

Presenting:

Oh yeah, baby. Oh yeah :)

Association, I'm Lovin' It

Back in 2000 I saw a music video for Armand van Helden's Koochy, a song which is basically a remixed-the-living-shit-out-of-it version of the classic Cars by Gary Numan. With its '80s retro feel the thing is still one of my favorite music videos, It's nothing more than and nothing sort of a stock footage glory, featuring scenes from documentaries, sci-fi movies and porn flicks, centered around a concept which is - at least I think - depicting the essence of an orgasm via technical mayhem. Check it and keep an eye out for the robot that sings, more like talks the lyrics:


He's called Box, and he stars in the classic 1976 sci-fi movie Logan's Run. Did you notice anything strange on him? Since a good third of my readers are hardcore gamers, you probably should. I've photoshopped this little picture so the ones living in blessed ignorance (= no game-addicts) could see how awesome this talking toaster is:


Yes, he's wearing the friggin' Xbox logo! And yes, he's actually called Box. What the hell. You'd think the movie somehow managed to pay homage for a console that came out almost thirty years later. Or that the designers were Logan-fans. Or maybe what we're seeing here is just plain coincidence.

But seriously, anybody heard something official on this? I did not, but this is why I associate Gary Numan with the Xbox. Let's move on.

One of the most fun games I ever played on the X360 (thanks to my pal Mykee, I never show him, but he's grooming me for being a real addict) is an FPS called Borderlands. Set on planet Pandora (no, not that one), you make your way through deserts with futuristic weapons, and... whatever, just watch the intro here. Cool, huh?

And what's the coolest thing about it? The soundtrack, that way-too-cool-for-this-Earth song, Ain't No Rest For the Wicked. It's a real shameful cliché among their fans, but that's how I learned about the artist behind it, a band called Cage the Elephant.

Cage. The. F'cking. Elephant.

These guys are this month's Dickies, something thats awesomeness nearly poked my eyes out for years, but I haven't noticed them until recently. Their music is glorious, miraculous, spectacular, amazing, sea-you-al. The whole self-titled album is so kewl with catchy tunes and sharp lyrics in every song, that I had to make a fan group for them on iWiW. I encourage you to join it if you have an account, and like their music, being the only member of my own club is a bit boring and a helluva lot embarrassing, too :)

Well, this is why your humble jellyfish associates deserts and ugly dogs with the X360 and one of his favorite bands. No summary or any kind of wisdom this time. Or maybe... association is fun, so is this song by CtE. See you later, Dear Readers.
