Check out Tessanne!

Posted in Reviews on November 17th, 2006 by Mad Bull

Well, I don’t know about you, but I feel that Tessanne Chynn can sing! I have probably written on this subject before, but if so, well, Tessanne is so nice that I don’t mind writing about her twice! Today I am going to give you a little music courtesy of her, here she is with “Secret Hideaway”!

(Updated: Cho, rass! I just noticed that the song not playing now, you know! It was working earlier, but it ah gimi a major fight inna di morning yah and that nah go mek it! Anyway, you can hear it by going to her MySpace site, I give the link below… I’ll figure this problem out later.)

Jah know, just based on this song alone I would want to hear an album. I wonder when her album ah go drop? She has up more music you can listen to, check out her MySpace site! Tell me what you think.

Have a good day at work, may it pass swiftly and with as little stress as possible and then have a great weekend! May that pass verrryyy slowly! smily

Of course, if you’re very bored over the weekend, let it pass quickly. Whatever floats your boat, zeen?

Bwoy, I plan to get out and about this weekend. I really don’t want to spend it locked up in the house. Not a rass! My advice to you would be for you to get out and about too. Anyway, me gone to get ready for work. Latahz.

So how was your weekend? Mine was quite active still. Natty and I went to a farewell get together for another person who was leaving the company I was last employed at. That was nice still, even though I barely drank anything. Nice chatting to my bredrins and sistrens still, you know.

Later in the night, I decided to go see Tony Matterhorn do his thing. Yeah, he was over here for a dance. It was ok… I know plenty people enjoyed themselves to the max, but that kind of thing isn’t really my style… too much of the DJs screeching into the mike instead of music… too much of men dancing with men…

Yeah, there was plenty men dancing with women too, but no, the screechy, screechy thing and the pulling up of music, thats just not me. Now, next weekend, that will be more my speed! They are bringing Third World and me haffi deh deh! Still, that will be another tale!

There is more…

Gyptian’s CD Stinks!

Gyptian

Bwoy, based on the songs that he put out recently, I rated Gyptian, after all, “Serious Times” was a wicked, wicked song to ra$$. Yes Rasta, I was expecting big things… Coupla days ago, a bredrin from work said to me “MB, me have Gyptian’s new album, you know, a bredrin give me a rip. You want me share me harddrive and you copy it off?”.
Of course, you know my answer, right? Yes star, I simply followed in the example of the “real” Pirates of the Caribbean. Of course I went with the rip of Gyptian’s album. I am so happy I did!

Listen, Gyptian is too young to sound so dead and boring and sad! Aside from the wicked “Serious Times” and another one about his mother, (can’t remember the name now), the whole album will put you into such a deep sleep that there are severe risks of you getting into a coma from which you cannot be revived! smily

Gyptian sounds like he had ten women and they all ran off with his best friend, star. Sad, moping, depressed… those words tell you how he sounds on the album. I can only hope that his connections do whatever it takes to get this brother out of the funk he obviously is in!

So why was I glad that I got the rip of the album rather than having to go out and buy it? Because if I bought that, SOMEBODY would haffi pay me back, or blood would spill! Awoah! What a piece of shit album! smily

Edwin Yearwood

By the way, I was just watching Tempo and I saw the video of this song by Edwin Yearwood of Krosfyah, it name “Weekend”. The song was lively and fresh, I really liked it. About the only thing I didn’t like was the eediat black/blonde look that Edwin was sporting. Him need to lose that ra$$! Edwin, is eedah or either, bredrin! If you click on the link, you can watch the video online and tell me what you think. smily

Gyptian, if you ever read this, go watch Edwin’s video, bredrin, it ought to cheer you up! Also, you fi use it as an example of how the music you put out should sound: Uptempo and lively, Star! Straight!

World Cup 2006 - My Impressions thus far.

Posted in Reviews on June 11th, 2006 by Mad Bull

    

Well, The World Cup is iff to a good start and it is bringing plenty of color to the lives of the viewers, nuh true?

Bwoy, T&T really did well to hold Sweden to a nil all draw, though at least one Trini I know of is complaining! Taran’s idea is that the yellow cards attained and the injuries received in the match between T&T and Sweden will hurt T&T’s chance of progressing further in the competition and so there is little reason to celebrate.

My own opinion is that there was very, very little chance of T&T progressing further in the competition anyway. I am not trying to belittle T&T in any way, but I don’t think they have quite attained the lofty regions inhabited by teams such as England, Portugal and even Sweden, so to hope for a performance good enough to merit making the second round against all three of these teams is unrealistic. If you accept this premise, then another goal which one may hold as being worthy is to try not to be absolutely routed by these teams. So far, T&T succeeded in this with Sweden. I think they did well. Lets hope they can do so against Paraguay and England.

While some may feel that they might even have been able to score a goal and steal the game from Sweden if they had thrown in a couple more forwards, I think that this would have weakened their defence more and then Sweden would have more than likely slotted home several goals. Of course, what the hell do I know, right?

To me, the matches on the opening day were more exciting, and the match of the day yesterday was really the Argentina - Ivory Coast match! Ivory Coast look to be quite a team, and I switched over my allegiance from Argentina to them. Now they look to have had the ability to overthrow the favourites. They didn’t, but you could argue that this was more a matter of hard luck than because they simply were unable to do so. I would like to see this team go through until the very end! Could Ivory Coast be the first African nation to all the way to the semi-finals? (Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that previously, the highest any African nation has gone is to the quarter finals. Of course, World Cup history is not necessarily my forte…)

The Ivory Coast has a team which is chock full of talent and they play with skill and assurance. The only thing I would fault their players for is their choice of hairstyles! What is with all this creamed-hair business? Dem doh know say “Bad man nuh dress like girl!”.

By the way, England did very well to hold off Paraguay for the 1-nil victory, IMHO, especially as they were playing one man short.

“What?”, I can hear you sdaying. “I don’t remember England having a player sent off!”. You are right, they didn’t. By my statement above, I meant to suggest that the referee was so biased in his calls that he was really like a twelvth Paraguayan player to rass! He was especially harsh on Peter Crouch. Everytime he touched the ball, the ref. blew for an imaginary infringement!

Actually, even though he looks like he would be bumbling and clumsy, I think Peter Crouch is quite a talent. He can certainly work the football! I like him. I hope he sinks some balls into the back of the net in England’s next game though.

Munich

Posted in Reviews on May 21st, 2006 by Mad Bull

I just watched the movie “Munich“, directed by Steven Spielberg. It was about the Isreali response to the killing of the Isreali athletes at the Olympics in Munich by the “Black September Terrorists. (setting up a secret Mossad assasination squad to hunt the terrorists).

I thought it was an excellent film, which is probably why it was nominated for five Academy Awards. I would recommend renting the DVD if you haven’t seen the movie, because it was good. Apparently I am not alone in thinking so, see, Rotten Tomatos has a 78% rating for the movie.

I came across this section on memorable quotes from the movie at the Internet Movie Database Website. I do think that some of the quotes there were pretty good, but the saying I found most interesting was not up there. I am going to give you it from memory, because I have to return the DVD and can’t stop to search for the quote again. Here goes:

“We live and work in a world of intersecting secrets. We die where those secrets meet.”. This was said by Pa Pa, I think, to Avner when he was questioning Pa Pa and Louis as to who was responsible for the Dutch woman who killed Carl.

A very interesting movie…

This is too much!

You know, I really am beginning to hate Pierce Brosnan! First it was “Die Another Day“, with Halle Berry, right? The things he and ‘Jinx’ got up to! AAAaarrrggghhhh!

And now he has gone and done this great movie with Salma Hayek!

The movie is good… good storyline, beautiful people, beautiful scenery… it couldn’t lose already. And then there was Salma. People, I have always thought Salma Hayek was lovely, but you need to see her in ‘After the Sunset’! We knew she had the face, but Oh! What a body! smily

No, man, Pierce is going on too bad now! Don’t believe me? Well, go and see the movie for yourselves, then! Its obvious to me, and I know it’ll be obvious to you! Pierce wants to have all the lovely ladies for himself alone! Fellas, we can’t have that, now can we? We have to join forces, find Pierce and make the bastard pay! smily

Are you with me?!
