Mofulouga Winnie Hsin- Tsui Hark’s Green Snake soundtrack

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie3-vvSTbmk[/youtube]

When I moved to SF in the early 90s I discovered the Pagoda, a beautiful old movie theater that smelled faintly of urine and played Hong Kong double features. Instead of popcorn the concession stand sold dried squid and you could order take out from the little hole in the wall next door and they would bring it into the theater when it was ready. But the Pagoda was not really a movie theater: it was a metaphysical experience. After I discovered the Pagoda I started going at least once a week; it was my church. The first movie is saw there was Tsui Hark’s Green Snake. I don’t know if you can imagine seeing that film on the big screen and in that dark magical theater with the faintest odor of toilet playing under your nostrils, mixing with the smells of soy sauce and garlic from the hot noodles in your lap: but my mind was completely blown.  The film’s soundtrack was surprisingly good and as it was forming the soundtrack to my transcendental flight into Hong Kong cinema I actually purchased the CD and occasionally gave it a listen at home.

Big Willie Style! I miss the days when people said they were ‘getting jiggy with it’, because it just sounded cool, you know? The Fresh Prince is number one in my heart, so I hope you agree. The only thing missing in this video is my man Alfonso Rebiero!

#29: Cowboy – Kid Rock

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPOQE_LUESs[/youtube]

Speaking of cowboys. The thing I really admire most about Kid Rock, besides banging Pam Anderson, is that he seamlessly walks the line between country, rock and rap and makes it look completely effortless.
Believe me that is NOT easy to do, I’ve been trying to do it for ten years now and I’ve only pulled it off once.

A forgotten child of Detroit. Jay Dee (RIP) produced this song – totally blew me away when I heard it, has like this weird dystopian sci-fi street sound. Has a great line too: “bringing drama to your clique like Susan Lucci” — Susan Lucci!?

#42: Love Can’t Turn Around – Farley Jackmaster Funk, featuring Darryl Pandy

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr-OgG1A74c[/youtube]

Whatever happened to Darryl Pandy? His myspace page says that he’s one of the most sought after voices in house music, you think you’d hear him more.. actually his myspace spins quite a yarn considering he hasn’t uploaded any songs.. yet has over a thousand friends… what the hell?
My favorite thing about his bio is “Darryl Pandy has been working with Dj Boxx on a new release tht is geared to put something Hot and heavty on your mind here in 2008. it gives me hope in my search.

If I made a movie that took place in 1999, I’d use this in the opening credits. Then the audience would know that they’re in for one helluva good time! Plus I like the part about the Chinese chicken.

#55: Jimmy Olsen’s Blues – Spin Doctors

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrQCro68sRU[/youtube]
“Two Princes.” “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.” The Docs put out what I
would consider one of the greatest cassettes ever that was chock full
of hits on both sides. They were poised to take over the world and be
even bigger than U2. And then… Nothing. They never put out another
cassette or CD and you never heard shit about them ever again.

Crap… I just realized, I hope they didn’t all die in some bus
accident or something.

I admit I don’t know what this song is about but I think I don’t
really need to understand it to enjoy it. That’s the thing about art,
you know? It’s different for everybody and you project what you think
you feel onto it. Me personally, I think the song is about just
getting into a sweet paintball groove where you’re owning every bitch
on the field but that’s probably because this is my go-to song when I
go into battle.
-Chaz

On the other hand, I do know what THIS song is about. Don’t watch this
one in public because I guarantee you it’s gonna make you cry.

Watch for the snake a couple of minutes in because I think that’s a
perfect analogy for Ed Kowalczyk. He’s a cobra ready to strike and he
brings that ferocity to his music.

#87: Get With You – DMX Krew

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Dvlyn4W4c[/youtube]

Years before she appeared on Mr. Show & later became a star on ’24′ as Chloe, I had a mad crush on Mary Lynn Rajskub (who I went to Art School with for a year). Ya that’s right ya Chloe-fevered schmucks… Go eat yer Neo-Con paltry thriller computer chipped hearts out.  Man, I hate that fuckin show… but I digress… Back then, Mary Lynn used to perform strangely hilarious shy stuttering open mic poetry as performance art spazz comedy routines and one fateful night we ended up at a house party dancing together like freezing mongoloid monkeybots caught in a temporal tractor-beam.  An opportunity had finally presented itself… I was dancing with the girl I had been dreaming about all semester long but here I was rattling and shaking like a busted-up animatronic idiot from Showbiz Pizza! Oh no It’s all coming clear now… I remember how she seemingly tried to reach out to me, by playfully mocking my robo-retardo moves… but in my completely flabbergasted stoned-ass state I kept on devolving my moves into goofier and goofier spasms and tics until we stood there miming a robotic Russian winter of 1812. It was fun and we laughed about it but I could hardly speak, no wit to twit… Damn You POt! Sometimes I can get too stoned and then throw a heapin helpin of nervous nelly nerves on top and… forrgeddabouttit…  I lose the ability to put together sentences and resort solely on telepathy…

But nothing ever came of it. I had fizzled or she had had a boyfriend… regardless she graduated soon after in the spring.

Years later when I discovered the above track, it kinda strangely rekindled my long ago, but not entirely forgotten, unrequited crush and for a brief moment it became my mantra for my last hurrah! of how I was finally, Shockingly! going to woo her… but really it made me question why whenever I wasn’t with anyone, I would remember her and still hold out some goofy hope that someday someway in summertime something might happen between us? I guess I thought she was my ‘one that got away’ ha! what a stretch… But after all the years that had passed, this goofy song, of all things(?) was finally forcing my hand… I resolved that: “The daydream must attempt to become reality!  Dopey delusions & daydreams be damned!”
