SPEED RACER

SPEED RACER

in honor of 4.20, i thought i'd write a little about this movie that many have casted off as a pile-o-shit. well, the story might not be all that well, but visually this movie is nuts. i saw it for the first time this past week and i was stunned. all the racing scenes are one long trip, the effects are insane, and matthew fox plays a total badass as racer x. so in honor of this day gather the turkey, light up, and enjoy this 2 1/4 hour trippy feature.

ALL THE SAINTS - FIRE ON CORRIDOR X

ALL THE SAINTS, a psychedelic trip-fest, is quickly becoming something to remember. their 2008 release Fire on Corridor X (touch & go), is a powerful display of psychedelics, emotion, and tone. certain tracks have a feeling of floating into the air and then being forced down with a violent thrust ("farmacia"). other tracks are a great display of their ability to be soft and beautiful ("leeds") on an album chalked full of intensity. very impressive band with a very impressive debut.
