Friday Fixx 1/25

Jan 25th, 2008 by Stamos

This weekend already feels weird because there’s no football for the first time in forever. We here at Brahsome love us some college B-ball, especially living here in ACC country on Tobacco Road, but there’s nothing like football. Football is the best, and not just because of hot dance team girls like the one pictured left. Well, that, and the fact that NC State looks like something of a lost cause on the court this year, so it’s tougher than usual to be excited- what with our two most loathed neighbors to the west both ranked in the top 5. Anywho, jump down for your live music clip of the week

MW: All Star Conspiracy? Or is it just Crap?

Jan 25th, 2008 by Brinson

allen_iverson.jpg

Congratulations to Allen Iverson for being named a starter for the Western Conference in the 2008 All Star Game. But my question, and I’m certainly not alone, is how did Iverson manage to walk T-Mac down?

Two weeks ago, with the fourth returns posted on NBA.com, McGrady had a pretty substantial lead:

Tracy McGrady (Hou) 907,639
Allen Iverson (Den) 827,273

And when the finals were announced yesterday, Iverson had utterly walked him down, winning the second Western guard spot by a decent margin

Allen Iverson (Den) 1,203,152
Tracy McGrady (Hou) 1,192,742

Now, I’m not one to go all crappy Mel Gibson movie on anyone here, but the NBA is nothing if not the shadiest of all the leagues when it comes to things like roster moves, referrees and star treatment. And in all fairness, T-Mac came out and said he wanted nothing to do with the All Star Game, at least in terms of being a starter - he usually locks the spot up based on the cross-concurrent China-man-love for Yao Ming that gets dispersed amongst the rest of the Rockets. He’s very good, and having a great season. When healthy. So maybe all of these “real people” that voted (nearly 400,000 of them over the past two weeks) for Allen Iverson heard T-Mac’s plea to not be voted in. Or maybe they’re just not real.

How the hell else can you explain the fact that 350,000 plus people voted for Allen Iverson over the past two weeks, but only 563,525 people for Chris Paul over the course of the entire voting process? See, that’s what wrong with letting the fans vote for the starters. Yeah, I get that it’s their game and you want to give something back to the fans. But wouldn’t it be better to give the players performing the best the starting gig and then fill the last four roster spots with fan choices that didn’t already make the team? Prolly not gonna happen. And Paul is prolly gonna make the team this year anyway. Right? Right??? But who gets left out? Steve Nash? Baron Davis? Sure it’s an imperfect process, and someone in these things always gets screwed, but this year if it’s Paul, I’m really going to throw a hissy. Or maybe just vote only for T-Mac next year.

Aural Sex 1/25

Jan 25th, 2008 by CalmerThanYouAre

Holly BrisleyBy now you’re probably sick of hearing what we’re doing this weekend (WEEN!)…but, lucky for you, there are quite a few great bands on tour right now, so even if you’re not going to be getting brown as shit with us at Ween, you still have the opportunity to shake off the dust that has accumulated while you’ve been trying to pile out the winter.

The Greyboy All-Stars, moe., and the Benevento/Russo Duo are just a few of the acts that have jumped on tour since last week and if you have a chance to see any of them, you should do so.

Did I mention we’re seeing WEEN tonight??

If you want your band and/or city added to the line-up just let us know.

Mucho take it easy.

That’s What We Call Agressive

Jan 25th, 2008 by The Piler

Meet Larry Sinclair.  This might be the only chance you get.  He’s going to have men in black suits and sunglasses swarming him very soon.  You see he’s posted this youtube alleging he had drinks with Barack Obama in 1999 in Chicago, then proceeded to leave in his limo.  He then claims Obama scored some crack for himself, coke for Sinclair, then Sinclair gave him a hummer. Of course Larry, the black dood was doing crack.  Sinclair boasts to later giving Obama another BJ in a hotel room.  Wowzers.  He then challenges BO to take a polygraph test and offers to take one himself.  My guess is he got paid a pretty-penny to say this on camera.  For one thing, teal-blue nascar-esque hats with red button downs don’t exactly scream baller who rolls around Chicago in a limo.  You can make judgments for yourself.

Scarlett Can Lay Her Head Anywhere She Wants

Jan 24th, 2008 by Stamos

Though, in an ideal world, her head would be laying in one of our crotches.  Scarlett Johansson is releasing her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head on May 20th.  And while no one who reads Brahsome would ever buy the album unless it came with a courtesy lubeless HJ from Scarlett herself, we figured it was worth mentioning because the album contains 10 Tom Waits covers.  If you’re unfamiliar with Waits, he’s actually pretty badass- sort of a weird, jazzy, bluesy sound with one of the most distictive voices around, described by one critic as “like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car.” Anyway, if you’ve never heard of him, might want to check it out.  We’re not sure how little, if any, justice Scarlett will do to his songs, but at least she’ll be more attractive.  Here’s a clip of one of Stamos’ favorite Waits’ song, Step Right Up.

Long Wang at Chapel Hill? Oh Right. Exchange Student.

Jan 24th, 2008 by Brinson

Yup. That’s right. Wang Xing Xian and Mei Qin Jiang of Cary (and originally China) are the most balling parents in the entire m-f’ing world. They named their son Long Wang. Long freaking Wang.

long-wang.gif

Kids are really, really creative about coming up with hurtful things that rhyme with almost any name, but good goddamn luck making fun of this kid. No, seriously. The best you can do is like “Not-so” Long Wang. And at that point, you’re just going to get cock-slapped anyway, so what’s the point?

Speaking of what’s the point, is there really any reason to carry on with these giggle-infusing name searches anymore? Sure, Lucious Pusey Seymour is fantastic. But you can’t beat Long Wang.

Besides, not like the fair minded ladies in Chapel Hill are going to like him anyway, right?

I’d Kill For Some Painkillers Right Now

Jan 24th, 2008 by Stamos

Have you ever woken up on Sunday afternoon after a long night of blackfacing and realized a couple of stingers weren’t going to be enough to ease your pain?  You needed something stronger.  Maybe you even said something like “Man, I’m dying for some Vs” or “I’d kill to get my hands on some ladders about now.”  Well, that’s why you’re not an undercover police officer.  Robert Macklin thought that $5 and 90 OxyContins might be enough payment for someone to rub out girl he didn’t like (who, apparently, was the girlfriend of some guy Macklin had a ‘relationship’ with- guess this guy was a switch-hitter or something).  Macklin was even kind enough to offer the $5 as down payment for doing the deed.  Unfortunately for him, he made the offer to an undercover Kevin.  Now, instead of getting the other guy all to himself, he’ll now assume his role as ‘receptacle’ for the D block at Leavenworth where instead of OCs, he’ll be dealing more with OGs.

Big Red Gets Locked Up

Jan 24th, 2008 by CalmerThanYouAre

Trey AnastasioTrey Anastasio, Phish front man and red-headed, guitar slaying, broceph extraordinaire, was incarcerated for two days in Washington County, NY.

According to News Channel 13, Big Red’s time in the clink was because he failed to show up for a court-ordered appointment.

Mr. Antipasti plead guilty to felony drug charges last year after his party-on-wheels was pulled over in Whitehall, NY and Johnny Law found a potpourri of fluffers such as Vicodin, Percocet, and Xanax…oh, and heroin.

Morning Wood: WEEN

Jan 24th, 2008 by CalmerThanYouAre

WeenAs you may have heard on this week’s Brown Hour…and last week’s Brown Hour…and probably read in a few of our posts…the brothers Brahsome are taking a field trip tomorrow for an evening with the brothers Ween at the Carolina Theater in Durham, NC. And we’re pretty fucking stoked about it.

As a brahsome.com reader you’re probably familiar with the duo from New Hope, Pa…and if you’re not, you should be. Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo (Gene and Dean, respectively) formed the band in 1984 and have been freaking people out ever since. After five or six self-released recordings, they were signed by Twin/Tone Records in 1989 and shortly thereafter brought us the epic, major label debut GodWeenSatan: The Oneness. Fan favorite, The Pod, was released about a year later.

In 1992 they moved to Electra Records…where they released Pure Guava, Chocolate and Cheese, 12 Golden Country Greats (which only has 10 songs), The Mollusk, a live compilation Paintin’ The Town Brown: Ween Live 1990-1998, and finally White Pepper.

Like any good business men, the brothers Ween realized that once they had the money for their own record label they could cut out the middle man…so after their contract with Electra expired in 2001 they started Chocodog Records and began releasing live albums, such as Live In Toronto (2001) and Live at Stubbs (2003), as well as Shinola (2005), which was a compilation of old, unused studio recordings. Chocodog also produces albums for Moistboyz, Instant Death and Chris Harford (all three are various Ween side projects). The most recent release, La Cucaracha, was released on Rounder Records.

In 2002 Pizza Hut contacted them about writing a little jingle. Ween responded with a 30-second number called “Where’d the Cheese Go?” Pizza Hut didn’t like and chose not to use it. Ween then decided to change up the lyrics and re-record it, calling it “Where’d the Motherfuckin’ Cheese Go?”. . .both are available for your listening pleasure.

So there you have it…a brief history of Ween. Now that we’ve got that out of the way…let’s talk about LIVE Ween.
