If Bustin Rhymes Wuz an Arcade Game

DJ Format, Abdominal, and D-Sisive play the game. Sweet!

I’m familiar with Abdominal & Format from Ruben Fleischer‘s site. (Both that Abdominal and that Format video I highly recommend. The Format one has been widely linked as a “Furry music video,” but it’s so much more than that! MC’ed by 2 members of Jurassic 5, Chali 2na and Akil, whom apparently if I had any hip hop clues I would have heard of.)

All Quicktime videos.

Whoa… apparently one of J5’s DJs is Cut Chemist. Where have I heard that name before? Aha! Searching for Tackhead I ran across an album by “Cut Chemist and Shortkut” which includes the track “Fats Comet’s Tackhead Beat” — Fats Comet was the original name of Tackhead. Interesting. I have no idea what that Cut Chemist/Shortkut track is about, but that’s why I’ve heard of Cut Chemist before.

Everything is connected to everyone is connected to everything…

Having tracked that down, I need to sleep.

Overheard at _why’s

Truthfully, I refuse to absolutely believe in reality as the great circumscribing bound of our existence. Imagination lies within the borders and is assuredly larger than reality. Adobe Photoshop also.

A fun post, too, with some images that may never leave your brain.

Retheming

Decided to do a little theme switch. This one’s from the WordPress Theme Competition. (I’m not more specific because I’ve changed my mind which one to go with like twice since I first wrote this post.)

I was so, so, so tempted to go with Taft. (Shut your mouth! I’m just talkin’ bout Taft.) But I understand the images required by the CSS are like a half a meg download, and it only looks right if you happen to have the right fonts installed (I do). So I’m gonna back off on that one. (Oh, I’m also digging Museum but I’m not sure what tolerance my readers have for marble buttocks.)

I’d like to come up with my own someday but I don’t know if I want to wade into CSS that deeply. There’s a lot of structure to a WordPress page and it seems like it’d be a big headache to get it all looking nice.
