You Cant Touch The Classics

Since exams have ended I've had alot of free time to calm my brain after the almost neverending brainstorm of the last 2 months. So the best way I know how is to fire up the playstation((get lost in a a game) and relax to classic tunes.

I found myself loading my playlists with the classics: Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens (Yusuf islam), Bob Dylan, The Byrds, ah-ha U2, Metallica, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins (Thanks QL) and The classical composers. After listening to them I realized that the new stuff out there cannot compare to the classics. They are devoid of and meaning and purity. The songs these days dont carry and message or make one think or appreciate life. They are filled with lyrics that dont make sense and tunes which have been digitally enhanced.

You cannot fault or expect the newer generation of musicians to emulate the past, they only take the old songs and destroy them by remixing them. Most of the stuff we listen to these days will be forgotten relegated to the the graveyard of sound (like justin bringing sexy back... i mean where the hell did sexy go?)

The Classics rock so i leave you to enjoy a true legend Jimi Hendrix (Voodoo Child) playing the guitar like no other could. (For those of you who enjoy the guitar)

Borat!

Yashemash!

I'm sure everybody has heard the hype and controversy surrounding Sacha Baron Cohen's latests movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (And thats the abridged title), if not then you surely live under a rock or maybe I watch to much Tv. The movie is said to be one of the funniest movies in years, it has grossed tons of money and the government of the GLORIOUS nation of Kazakhstan and everyone else who was dupped in the movie is suing Mr Cohen. As everyone knows there is no such thing as bad publicity and this movie has reached cult status and has made Sacha Baron Cohen a millionaire. movie exects are literally throwing money at him to make his next movie.

So today I decided to watch Borat and see for myself what was all the hype about. I wont spoil the movie for those that still havent watched it so please continue reading. When you watch it dont go into the theatre with any expectations because it is'nt oscar worthy far from it. Firstly its definately not for kids or parents so if your parents want to see it convince them otherwise. It doesnt have much of a story but in my opinion it is very funny, it made me laugh hysterically, the way he speaks and his phrases and saying are classic. It also made me cringe and in fact look away at times, yes some scenes if you do not cringe then you are certainly made of sterner stuff because DAMN it takes wrestling to another level.

The Humour is very unique and has to be taken together with a spoonful of sugar ala Mary Poppins....wait make that a cup of sugar. Some may consider it utter trash because it is raw, lewd, degrading to women, portrays kazahkstan as a country of farmers and rapist and anti semetic which is amazing since Sacha Baron Cohen is a Jew himself. However it does show how unacceptting Americans are of other nations and cultures, so its more a documentary on the stupidity and gullibility of the American nation which is remarkable.

Another thing that amazes me is how well he did to stay in character. There isnt a moment that the accent wanes, his gait changes or anything, his performance is flawless. You may say that he acted like a complete jackass but it takes talent real talent to act like that and remain in character. He was arrested around 30times during the filming because he remained in character and that is some dedication. Even now he remains in character, he recently wrestled Conan O'Brian in an attempt to shave his pubic hair, he asked a Sky News reporter where he can get a prostitute and pitched up at a premiere in a carriage being pulled by 6 women. Yes thats insane. An oscar nomination? I doubt it but the academy has never really recognized comic genius like Andy Kaufman.

Now there are some muslims who may be offended and not watch it because Borat makes fun of Kazakhstan which has a large muslim population (and an equally large Christian roman orthodox population) and therefore makes fun of islam . I assure you this movie is more anti semetic (which im still shocked at) then anti muslim. Also and this is just my opinion if you are not going to watch a movie because you feel it offends your culture or religion you should also not watch movies which offend other nations are cultures. There cant be a double standard where its fine to laugh at someone else but we cant laugh at ourselfs (within a certain boundary ofcourse).

Its a funny movie and it doesnt pretend to be something it isnt I would recommend you see it ....its very NIIICE!

Yakshemash! In US of A, democracy is very different from Kazakhstan. In America, woman *can* vote, but horse - *cannot*!

Finally the K-MAN has come BAACKK...... to the blogosphere!!!!!

It has been too long my friends toooo damn long...... but its finally over and boy am I relieved. Coupled with ramadaan this has been 2 hectic months. I have missed you all and its good to be back.

Well what can I say about exams hmmmmm............... they were terrible. I've never had such a stressful exams ever (ever ever ever). Some papers made me double check whether I was writting the correct paper or was I in the correct venue. The others well I failed to get the license and registrations of the others because it felt like an 18wheeler had just hit me and then for good measure had reversed over me. Now my friends will tell you never to believe me because I over react but I assure you this is no over reaction. Marks come out on the 12th of December so I will just have to wait and hope for the best.
