Re: Top Five thread.

I'm confused, you say oddly attractive but then Tilda Swinton? Kind of exact opposites, no?

Re: Top Five thread.

Tilda Swinton is a damn sexy woman, so I fail to see your point.

Re: Top Five thread.

Oddly attractive (could i say unconventional beauties?):

1. Keira Knightley
2. Julia Roberts
3. Humphrey Bogart
4. Jeff Goldblum
5. Benicio del Toro

Boom: Great instrumental performances in rock songs. Like the drums in Rush's Subdivisions, keyboard in Genesis' The Cinema Show or the cowbell in BÖC's Don't Fear The Reaper (could use a little more cowbell actually). Looking forward to this one.

With that kind of confidence you could surely become the leader of your fellow blind citizens.

Seriously though? She looks like a ghoul in a crackheads body.

Re: Top Five thread.

Instrumental performances in rock songs. I come from a more melodic and compositional place, so it's not necessarily moments of extreme talent (although all are talented,) but moments of excellent instrumental breakdowns in the context of the song in question.

1. Ben Folds, piano, All U Can Eat. Link to moment. (I can't recommend enough that you watch the whole song.)

2. Pulp, guitar with reverb pedal, The Fear. Link to moment. (Great song, but "This is Hardcore" is even better.)

3. The Birthday Massacre, reverb pad synth, To Die For. Link to moment. (If you're not into these guys yet, take my word for it and listen to this.)

4. Kaki King, acoustic guitar, Playing with Pink Noise. Link to moment. (Holy fucking shit.)

Re: Top Five thread.

Heh.  I used to work at Playboy TV and I have many friends in the porn biz, so here we go.

1)  One of my best friends had a 4 way with 3 other girls.  I independently verified this.   

2)  The first girl I slept with (who was also a virgin) later went on to have a 3 year relationship with a woman.  For valentines day one year, they had a "photoset" of them having sex done by a photographer friend of theirs.  By the end of it, he had to excuse himself to the restroom. 

3)  Around 1999, I was training in Jiu Jitsu at Jean Jacques Machado's school here in the valley.  The valley is where all your porn comes from.  Therefore, we had a few industry pros train at our school, like Vince Voyeur.   Vince is a cool guy, and we used to go over to his place in Calabassas to watch fights.  There was another guy I trained with named Alan.  Nice as can be, very good at Jiu Jitsu, but would not SHUT UP.  He was always talking to Vince about the industry, and Vince would oblige him.  One day I come into class and as I'm stretching out, Alan is going on about how Vince let him appear in a scene.  "Holy shit, you got laid?" I asked.  "No!  I was just like an extra in the scene.  It was with Vince and Belladonna." he said.  I asked him where they shot it, with a tiny bit of dread creeping into my brain.  "Right here!" Alan said, not seeing a problem at all with this.  I had never done a kip up before, bt there's a first time for anything.  "Tell me you fucking cleaned up afterwards..." I begged.  Alan assured me he used a quarter bottle of bleach on the mats afterwards, and even pointed out where on the mats Vince violated Bella.  Like I said, he's a nice guy.

4)  I worked on all 3 seasons of Flavor of Love.  In season 2, Flav and the girl dubbed "New York" retired for an evening in his bedroom, presumably to discuss how the policies of Margaret Thatcher were closer to political theorist Michael Oakeshott than to her American counterpart Ronald Reagan.  In actuallity, they wanted to fuck.  And fuck they did, behind privacy of closed doors.....WITH THEIR MIC'S STILL ON.  I spent 20 minutes on a meeting with my bosses of how much of New York screaming "THAT SHIT IS PROPER!" we could bleep without losing it's overall effectiveness.

5)  I was at a "Porn Premiere" party for a friend of mine (whose name, no bullshit, was SAL GENOA) who was making his directorial debut.  He was a buddy of mine from my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class.  The place I train at, I also train with Joe Rogan, and he is a friend of mine of many years.  Joe, myself, and some guys from my school  were hanging out and all we kept hearing about was how the "star," of the film, Gia Paloma,  was going to show up soon.  We got constant updates of her status; how she was on her way, the limo was running late, etc.  No one gave a shit.   Now, what was unique about this "premiere," was that it was held outside, in the parking lot of Anabolic studios, and the film was projected onto a 40 ft wall on the side of the studio.  We all found it odd that it was an audience of mostly guys, watching a porn outside, but whatever.  My friend Erwann also works in the normal film industry, so all night we were comparing Sal's work to that of an early Truffaut or Goddard.  Anyway, the scene with Gia eventually comes up, and sure enough, her scene consists of her getting gorilla fucked in every orifice imaginable.  Just then, a limo pulls up.  "She's here, everyone!" screamed some insane person.  The first person to step out was not in fact Gia, but a regular looking dude whose face went so white he officially became a reflective surface in the dark.  A beat later out steps Gia, who looks at the guy and says the greatest sentence ever:

"Oh....I was gonna tell you..."

I have never before or since heard Joe laugh that goddamn hard.  Joe spent the rest of the party talking to the dude because he had to know the whole story.  He ended up getting a picture with both of them by the end of the night (which I don't have anymore) and he's smiling so big you think he met Santa Claus.

I would have thought that there was a lot of crossover behind the camera, but the audio is always shit in porn. (Or so I've heard.) What's up with that?

Re: Top Five thread.

Wait, are we passing on the bad-to-great one?

The Beatles (pre-Epstein), George Michael, and Madonna matured. The Monkeys learned to play and write. And Styx had a change of members and label (Grand Illusion was their fifth album!).

3. Simon & Garfunkel
4. Britney Spears
5. Creedence Clearwater Revivalhttp://i50.tinypic.com/e5qtlx.jpg

Not a lot of food at Home Depot, and once a building is secure, survival means more than just weapons.

I want to do this story thing, but the post would be a mile long to do those stories justice.

1)  Shooting heroin in Pulp Fiction. It looked so cool! Just don't snort it.
2)  The simstim rig in Neuromancer. This i wouldn't mind trying.
3)  Watching race car drivers from onboard cameras. I am really reaching here.
4)  In Hyperion by Dan Simmons there's this priest who got infected by a parasite that kept him prisoner at a certain place and brought him back to life if he killed himself, so eventually he crucified himself in a place where he was continually hit by lightning. They found him years later, burnt to a crisp but alive. They cut him down, that got the parasite off and he finally died.
5)  That girl they found last year who was kept prisoner and had 2 kids by that guy.

Next: Top concert dvd's. Some i like are Devo: Live 1980 and Rush in Rio.
