I just grabbed an advance copy of the new Wu Tang album -- 8 Diagrams. There's also a mixtape to accompany it, which was mixed by Mathematics.
The mixtape is OK. I thought that the first half of it was a lot stronger than the stuff on the back end. It's got a few songs from old Wu or solo work pasted onto to new beats. Some of the these work better than others. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said most mix-tapes are better than the actually album. Fortunately, this is not true here.
All the surviving members of the Clan are present. There is a tribute to ODB that is bit of a posse cut. The album is also note worthy because it has the first officially cleared sample of the Beatles. The RZA sampled "As my guitar gently weeps" for "The Heart Gently Weeps". Its kind of mellow, but in a real gangsta Wu Tang sort of way.
I would have figured that the Ghostface Killah and Raekwon would have been heavily featured on the tracks before I listened to it. But it turns out that the Method Man probably gets more verses than them. It's probably Meth's best showing in a quite a while. It's refreshing to hear Masta Killa, U God and Inspecta Deck also get some verses. There are a few RZA stream of conciousness flows. Ghostface and Rae also get their share and deliver. It almost easy to forget the GZA because he's just so calm and understated by nature. In any event, all of them are in top form.
The production is kind of what you would expect from the RZA -- snippets from Kung Fu movies, samples of shaolin soul -- but just to cross you up he's got a beat with a little bit of crunk in it.
I really liked this. I don't think that there's a song that just blows you away, but when you step back and look at the whole piece its really solid. There's nothing really disappointing on this.

Big Bunny's Girl of the Month: Tila Tequila
This month I feature Tila Tequila. Tila is originally from Vietnam, but moved to the US. She started out as a car model and somewhere along the way she became the most popular person on myspace. She's got her own TV show right now -- a reality dating show -- One Shot At Love. When the first episode began I thought this was total trash. Basically it was 16 super-meat heads, with excessive testosterone levels competing for her. So basically there were a lot of confrontations and posturing. Then there was serious plot twist. A group of 16 super hot girls come out. It turns out that Tila is bi-sexual and the show will have the men and women competing for her love. With this little twist, this show went from trash TV to must watch TV.
There are plenty of pool side competitions and a lot of the girls prefer to wear thong bikinis. Tila also has a lot of sexual energy, so she frequently makes out the women contestants. Also they picked some real meat heads so a few weeks ago there were some punches thrown and security had to escort the guy she kicked out off the set. Next week there's supposed to a cat fight.
Like I said, must watch TV.
I like the American Apparrel outfit she's wearing above, maybe she should do a calendar with them.

Dinner at Phebe's Zee Bar
I would've have probably been better off posting on something else, but this place was so hideous I had to share it with the world.
It definitely wasn't the first place on the list for dinner on Friday night, but since we couldn't get a reservation anywhere else we had to go there. Interestingly, the person responsible for the reservation said something to the effect "It always seems that I can get a reservation there when other places are booked." That raises the obvious question of why there might be that regularity.
The name of the place "Zee Bar" is supposed to be a clever pun on "Sea Bar", I must be a little slow because I didn't see that until someone told me. I thought Zee was German for the. The place is supposed to specialize in seafood.
The crowd, is mostly in the 40+ range. Mostly couples, but it looks like a few cougars go the place before prowling the city. I get the sense that its mostly a local crowd.
The place is decorated like Captain Highliner's recreation room. It was hideous. They have like these exposed brick walls all over the place with nets, lobster traps and mounted trophy fish. I almost expected to see the Captain -- Captain Highliner because Captain Morgan would never come here -- come out and work the room to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal and having a good time and maybe tell an interesting anecdote about some what he harpooned.
For some reason, they seem to have a decent wine list. We had a California chardonnay off the list that was pretty good, it was like $48. I can't remember the name exactly, but it had a bit of an Italian ring to it. We also brought a bottle -- a Mersault -- that was fabulous. The corkage fee was kind of high at $25, which would discourage most people from bringing a wine.
The menu has a few selections in the mains and the starters. They also have an oyster bar, so you can order those as well. The food was adequate. Most of the mains are in the low-$20 range, although the oysters were like $3.50 each. I started with the clam chowder and it was pretty good. Unlike Cafe la Gaffe, the clam chowder is prepared like a clam chowder. I followed that with a Jambalaya, which was really filling. It had a little bit of everything, but it was kind of light on the better quality seafood and compensated with a lot of clams and mussels. They also give you a little galvanized steel bucket to put the shells in. If they actually had a little bit of balance in the kind of seafood they were using they wouldn't have to put the buckets out. I mean the buckets on the table is kind of like 1 step removed from spreading saw dust on the floor and having the tables replaced by a sheet of plywood on bales of hay. I also tried someone's frites -- they came with some mussels, he also got a bucket. The frites are certainly not Jamie Kennedy quality. They weren't that crisp, a little on the soggy side.
I did order desert, although I tried a bit of someones chocolate cake. It kind of tasted like something like you could find in the frozen foods section of a supermarket.
Overall, this place is not that cheap. Dinner for four came out to $280 without the tip. The place is hideous and the food is not outstanding. It shouldn't be a surprise that they don't get any bunnies.

Next Level Shit
Ok, for this post I should get the blogger of the year award. These pictures are just a sample of what awaits you at supertangas. Basically this website is pictures and movies of girls posing in thongs -- and not much else. The girls are from all over, but a lot of postings from Italy and Spain as well as South America. But there are French and Eastern European ones as well.

Cafe la Gaffe
Went for dinner a few weeks ago. This was my first time back in like 10-years or something.
The place pretty much looks the same as it did back then. It has a lot of charm. It's an old Victorian building with high ceilings in the main room. The main room has an exposed brick wall on the left with some banquette seating, and the bar on the wall. The wall is covered with some art -- not prints. It seems a lot nicer than most of the nasty shit people hang on walls these days. They still have the original floors in the place -- they look like oak. There is also some seating in the back room, with a smaller bar.
I was there on a Thursday night. It wasn't too hectic. I'm not sure if it was because of the weather or if this was a typical scene. There were no old people that I could see in the place. There were also not many couples there. Most of the crowd was women. I would probably say that they would in their late-20s to the early-30s range. There was a group of 4 sitting close by. They were decent looking. Mind you they struck me as more a square-toed-high-heel-type than the pointy-high-heels variety.
The service is pretty relaxed and casual. They staff look really bohemian -- you know the struggling artist with no talent look. I generally don't have an issue with causal, but it would be kind of hard to tell the difference between the staff and the customers here. They were playing some stuff by the Beatles as the background music. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but not my first choice.
I didn't have any wine, but they seem to have a fairly extensive offering of bottles with some available by the glass. The markup seemed to reasonable -- about 2.5 times LCBO prices. Mind you I doubt you'll find anything that will really impress you, but you should be able to find something acceptable.
I started with a clam chowder and had the bouillabaisse as my main. After I had placed my order I hear the waitress describing the clam chowder as being different from most clam chowders because they use a tomato base. Well that might be interesting decision, it also means that it isn't a clam chowder anymore and perhaps a more suitable name may be appropriate. Also if you plan to use a tomato base for the soup it would be helpful if you used fresh tomatoes because it would taste better. The bouillabaisse also turned out to have the same tomato base, also not a good improvisation. For a french bistro they do use a lot of tomatoes. I'm not sure if whoever's cooking doesn't know how to make a fish stock to use in the bouillabaisse, but it would have helped. The bouillabaisse also had a lot of mussels and clams, at the expense of other types of seafood. Definitely not one of high points in the menu.
I had a taste of the stuff chicken breast. It wasn't undercooked or anything. It tasted like roast chicken. The serving was absolutely huge (as was the bouillabaisse). I find it hard to believe that they have such a large female clientele with servings this big. They also don't really plate the food very well. Its just heaps of food -- kind of like what you see at one of those Portuguese BBQ chicken joints.
The place isn't really cheap either: a couple of drinks 2 chowders and 2 mains came out to $70 not including the tip.
Overall, I was not impressed at all with the food -- even though I kind of liked the look of the place. They need to put a lot more effort into the presentation of the food as well as actually cooking good food and the appearance of the staff. They might start by hiring a real chef instead of whoever's cooking right now. Bodega is far better in terms of what you get for a similar price, e.g., the staff look like staff, the food is plated well, etc. You could also get a lot better meal for the money at the Foxley.
There are better places to eat and hang out.

Real Estate Agent Ads
I've been noticing a lot of real estate agents like to advertise on the street. Its interesting though because they put the ads on the garbage/recycling bins. So I guess when someone is throwing out their garbage or depositing their recycling they might think that they could use the real estate agent in the garbage can.
Here are a couple that really grabbed my attention. These are all high resolution so just click to get the bigger image.
This agent specializes in servicing women. I guess her deal is that she can relate to a woman and guide her through this whole process of finding and buying a house because they need an advisor because they're doing it alone.
I think that's a good idea, but why don't women real estate agents specialize in serving men. I mean it might useful for a single man to get some advice on what would be the foundation of a good bachelor pad. For example, what colours make women feel more comfortable in a space? Are you better off with open concept or something that is broken up into rooms? Is my kitchen chick friendly? Should I have a bathtub in the master ensuite?
I think it would be really important to get the answers to these questions provided by women. If you think about the size of the commissions involved it would be great to get answers to these and know that you'll be set up.
I wonder what other services a full service agent like Janice (above) could provided. I mean a regular agent could tell your getting a good deal and your not overpaying and you can afford it. But I guess the old saying about real estate agents applies "A real estate agent will tell you anything." Sure its a great time to sell. Sure its a great time to buy.
This is where an agent like Janice can provide a really useful service. Suppose you're undecided about what to do and you don't know whether to up your initial offer, for example. Janice senses your indecision and helps you make up your mind by giving you a blow job and then telling you if buy the place you can expect to get something like every night because you're buying a real pimp pad. I would probably be more inclined to buy the place then I would with the usual agent comments: "Great location", "This a real bargain" etc. You know for the kind of commissions that agents get these days (2% of the purchase price) it makes sense to get a little something extra thrown in if your agent looks like Janice here.
This another ad that caught my attention. This one seems to be appealing to my intellect. I would almost buy into that if I didn't see the glamour shot of the middle eastern chick. Once I saw that my mind really started to wonder.
After wandering for a few seconds I kind of focused in on the lips, which seem really suggestive to me. Have a close look at the picture.
If you look at this picture you'll notice that her skin looks really pail and she's wearing white and her dark hair forms a border or frame. So what really stands out is that her lips are really red and feature prominently in the middle of the image. So I'm thinking that there is a subliminal message in the ad. Something like " use me as a real estate agent and you get a blow job".
That's my interpretation. I mean my imagination could be really running wild, but this is a really suggestive image if you ask me.

Digital Cameras and the Internet
I'm willing to wager some money that 10 years ago pictures like the ones I'm posting would be really hard to find. I think its the spread of websites like myspace and facebook that has really led to uptake in the upload of pictures of this.
But I wonder if girls were always thinking of taking pictures like this, but couldn't because they didn't want some pervert who developed the pictures to make a copy for themselves. So its digital cameras that are making easy for them to do this.
I also wonder what these girls are thinking when they take these pictures. Are they like drunk or do they have some sort adrenalin rush or are they just like bored.
I wonder .....
Cindy: I'm like so bored. Let's do something crazy.
Amanda, in reply: Hey, like, let's strip down to our thongs and take some pictures.
Cindy: Cool!
In the end, who really knows -- let's just hope they keep taking and posting the pictures (some of these are high resolution so you can get a bigger picture by clicking on the image).

Ghostface Killah
I saw a prototype for this a few years ago, but its gone into production.
Now the dopest flyest O.G. pimp, hustla, gangsta playa, hardcore motherfucker has his own action figure -- The Ghostface Killah doll. It comes in a limited edition run of a 1,000 with real gold jewellery and a real velvet rob. I think its like $500 U.S., less if you get paid in a real currency.
I really like the bracelet with the eagle, it might be a little hard to see in the picture, but anyone who get something like that made needs to have an action doll.
The doll even gets a lot of ass:
You can check it out at the official ghostface killah doll website.

Halloween
I used to think that Halloween was an archaic pagan tradition that needs to get removed from the calendar. A bunch of kids knocking on doors looking for candy and chocolate and thugs rooming the streets throwing eggs at people for no reason other than it being Halloween.
That was before I found these pictures (some of them are high resolution so click on them to get a bigger image). Now I think of Halloween as an opportunity for girls that are sluts -- or have an inner slut that they're afraid to indulge -- to dress up (or actually down) in something really whore-ish, get drunk and not be responsible for their actions.
I think their could be some value in keeping Halloween around ....

Musical Selections
I worked through quite a bit of stuff in my inventory this week.
I got this compilation called Sex-O-Rama. Its like highlights from porn sound tracks from the '70s and '80s. It has its moments, but I wasn't too crazy about it.
I got my hands on some stuff by Lonnie Liston Smith, his release called Renaissance. Towards the mid-'70s he had a real porn vibe going on in his music. He called his band the Cosmic Echoes. Much better than the stuff on the porn music compilation. This guy had a pretty good pedigree -- he was in Pharaoh Sanders band before he went out on his own. His early stuff does kind of sound like the Pharaoh's, but he develops into the porn master after a few albums. Renaissance has got the right vibe going, I'm really glad I got my hands on it.
I also checked out something that is a little more contemporary but still has the loving vibe happening. Its one of the Dan the Automator Nakamura alter egos -- Nathaniel Merriweather presents Lovage: Music to Make Love to Old Lady By. This is mellow, but its really good. He's got a chick singing and some other guy over the beats he made. This guy doesn't mess around when he puts together a beat. I wouldn't play the two skits in front of a girl, but the rest of it is fine. I think my favourite is Koala's Lament, which is an instrumental with Kid Koala making a guest appearance.
It was a mellow music week. I got a bunch stuff by this vibe player called Cal Tjader. His stuff is kind of loungey, but it has more a latin sound to it. I checked out four albums Solar Heat, The Prophet, Cal Plugs In and Descarga. The stuff is pretty to chill out to. The latin flavour to it gives it different sort of feel than the '70s soul jazz sound that became acid jazz. I didn't sick of his stuff (I listened to all of it on wednesday), as I might have if I listened to soul jazz.
I also got my hands on Miles Davis's Complete On The Corner Sessions. I really liked this. It basically the spaced jazz-funk-rock sound that he had going in the early-70s. Some of it is pretty laid back, but it can get pretty intense at times. Most of the songs are pretty long, but there are a few shorter ones sprinkled around. Some of the shorter excerpts could be used in porn sound track. While this isn't one of his most well known albums, you can listen to this box set and still understand why Miles Davis is like the next level shit.
I also tried to listen to Herbie Hancock's Joni Letters. It was horrible. It was like Dianna Kral, but worse (worse because she has no talent, but he is supposed to be talented). Totally limp. I mean this is like worse than Keith Jarrett. I'd avoid it unless you like Diana Kral.

Coupon
I got this the other week. Its a high resolution scan, so just click on the image to get a more detailed look.
This is for one of those "energy" drinks, probably some new brand trying to take away market share from Red Bull. I have to say given the coupon, they're off to a good start.
The coupon states that it'll keep you yodeling all night long. However, the superimposed picture of the hottie suggests that you're not likely to be the one using your tonsils if you drink Frank's -- at least that would be my interpretation. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I mean they could have put a picture of Gunther with a pint of beer lounging around in the Alps, but they didn't. They went for the chick with the Bavarian mountain slut look.
Incidentally, when I got the coupon the girl featured in the picture was handing them on the street. I couldn't get a picture. But she was standing on the street in front of stretch hummer limo with another hot chick. They were both rocking the Bavarian mountain slut look in the picture. But it was even better in real life because they're wearing these white stockings with these super high heels.
This is a well thought out campaign for a new product that is sort of refreshing -- because it's so blatant. Anyway, lets hope we see more of this sort of stuff.
