Lars And The Real Girl

I was telling some of the guys at work about this today. Written by the writer of the incredible "Six Feet Under" its about a guy and his new girldfriend. It looks like it could be very funny and very touching at the same time. Check out the trailer....

It is a very busy and expensive month but what can I say? I love movies and I love going to the cinema!

I'm Back!

From where? I hear you ask. Well to be honest, absolutely nowhere. Well why haven't I posted in so long? I hear you cry. There really is no excuse I just a) Had nothing really interesting happening and b) more or less forgot I was keeping this blog. So I thought I'd make interesting things to post about and try and keep on top of it again.

I reacquired my love for cooking. Tonight was home made chili beef burgers which were absolutely fucking fantastic! So I decided that I'm going to start posting up my recipes to share my love for interesting food with the world. Everything is simple and the ingredients are easy to get hold of. I'm going to start this tomorrow as I'm going to be making spicy pork ribs. Then I will post my beef burgers next time I make them so I can include photos.

Been to see a few films this month as well. Shakey sorted out some advance tickets to see "Knocked Up" which was incredibly funny. Went to see "The Bourne Ultimatum" with the famous N & C audio visual club. Last week I also went to see the new John Cusack film "1408". All the films have been impressive but my film of the month has to go to "Knocked Up". September is a busy month for the N & C A/V club as there are more or less two films every weekend.

I also picked up my tickets for the Seasick Steve gig at the Birmingham Academy 2 in October which I can't wait for.

My next "Consider Yourself Schooled" will also be posted very soon so keep tuned!

Consider Yourself Schooled Part Two - Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

Del tha Funkee Homosapien a.k.a Del the Funky Homosapien a.k.a. Deltron Zero a.k.a Russel Hobbs was born Teren Delvon Jones and hails from Oakland, California.

In 1991 Del released his first album "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" with the help of his cousin, Ice Cube and his crew "Da Lench Mob". Del went on to release an album in 1998 with his own crew "Hieroglyphics" titled "3rd Eye Vision" and two albums in 2000 titled "Both Sides of the Brain" and "Deltron 3030". The latter was produced by two big names, Dan the Automator and Kid Koala. In 2003 he featured on two tracks from the huge debut album from the "Gorillaz" including the top ten hit "Clint Eastwood".

Del's tracks are often noted for his use of his strange sense of humour and rapping about his interests including video games, rap battles, comic books and Sci-fi. Slating his first album because he felt it was over produced and fake he has gone on to use more old school sounding methods for the production of his tracks. Del has a huge love for Hip-Hop and has spoken out several times about the gang mentality that has grown within the industry along with subjects such as gun crime, drug dealing and so on. As you'll see from the video below he has a genuine hatred for manufactured music which is more popular than ever at the moment.

Must Have Album - Both Sides Of The Brain

If You Must - A song about personal hygiene a very under discussed subject in the world of Hip-Hop...

Wes Anderson Goodness...

For your viewing pleasure I present to you "The Darjeeling Limited" trailer.

All In All A Good Day...

Got up at 10am and had three mugs of coffee and a bacon sandwich on crusty bread with red sauce. Finished up volume seven of "Preacher" and checked my e-mails. Walked to the post office to collect two parcels, my new watch and my new sunglasses (lot of good they'll do me!). Went into town and collected my phone from o2 as they have finally repaired it. Met my main man Rich at Nosties and took in some culture at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and checked out their celebration of British modern art. There is still more to come as BBC2 start showing "Heroes" tonight so I finally get to check it out. Its a double bill as well!
