Remember when Cee-Lo Green was the Soul Machine? If not, do you remember when he was the front man for Gnarles Barkley? Now he's a bitter solo artist. He has a new song out and I'm pretty sure it will be played to death in six to nine months' time. It's pretty good and it has a lot of crossover appeal - goofy kid grows up to be a lady killing star who tells off all the girls he couldn't love before, laid over a slickly produced neo-retro soul hook. Kind of like a Mike Posner song but without help from ProTools. Although the title (and chorus) of the song, "Fuck You," might not help with said crossover. I'll let you be the judge.
Keep the volume down at work.
I drafted this crossover prediction on Friday night and set it up to publish on Sunday. By Saturday someone already released a "Baltimore club edit," whatever that means. Be prepared to hear this song ad nauseum.
Cee-Lo x Emynd "Fuck You" (Baltimore Club Edit) by Emynd
i love this song. it's like a "ween" song if the guys from "ween" could really sing.
ReplyDelete"baltimore club mix" apparently means you put a bunch of cheesy electronic hand-claps over the beat . . . fuck you, emynd.
i thoroughly enjoy this song.
ReplyDeleteInstant iPod addition. Nice work Z.
ReplyDeleteif you want to see somethin real real funny...tune into the next replay of "Asia" in concert on 101-Direct TV....at about the half hour mark (more like 33 minutes) their drummer delves into a solo. just can't quite put it into words. he's real proud of himself though.
ReplyDeleteRevis signed? What the hell did Rex say to him?
ReplyDeleteI am a horrible gambler, but that being said...Boise St/Va Tech is a pick 'em tonight? Really?
ReplyDeleteI greatly appreciate the verse where he rhymes Ferrari with Atari. Ain't that some shit?
ReplyDeleteferrari atari is the best rhyme. i made my wife listen to this version and then when she was on the way to the grocery store she heard the radio version . . . he says "forget you" instead of "fuck you." ridiculous. it's not even the same number of syllables. couldn't he say "piss off"? or is that too british.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard the radio version. Crossover issue solved.
ReplyDeleteI personally like the line "'cause being in love with your ass ain't cheeap."
ReplyDeleteI guess "Forget you" is better than just dumping it. But not much.
i think it would be funnier if they just bleeped it every time.
ReplyDeleteSome rookie named Danny Espinosa is destroying big league pitching this week. All dozens Nats fans are ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Ferraris, I happened to walk by the local Ferrari dealer and I went in to check out some cars. I laughed out loud when a saleswoman asked if I had any questions. I guess my greying receding hairline added some credibility. The new 458 is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
ReplyDeletethe teej...you likin tech?
ReplyDeletei'm battling with this one...instinct has always said boyzee.
I like Boise in this one...which I guess does mean you should bet Tech.
ReplyDeleteNavy did not need a false start there.
ReplyDeletewatchn dexter seasnon 4 on dvd...top 3 favorite shows...i highly recommend
ReplyDeleteAre Herbie and Brent standing in front of a green screen?
ReplyDelete69 degrees in Boise right now. Good omen.
ReplyDeleteFlea flicker to open the game...Beamer the Schemer!!!
ReplyDeleteSuck it Beamerball...
ReplyDeleteLovin this...
ReplyDeleteAnd love the fact that the Boise kicker is afraid of the left hashmarks.
This may not be much of game after all. I may switch over to the Ken Burns documentary on the Department of the Interior...
ReplyDeleteI think Tech's unis are pretty terrible. I think I'm in the minority.
ReplyDeleteVa Tech is getting pwned, as the kids would say.
ReplyDeleteIts interesting to see all the seats filled at FedEx. The Skins should try this sometime.
ReplyDeletetech's unis are flat out dreadful, geoffrey
ReplyDeleteBeamer special teams are truly helmet-wearing "special" tonight.
ReplyDelete@bugdust11 is using all his good material on twitter
ReplyDeleteI like Tech's unis far more than Boise's, but that has a lot to do with what I think of both squads normal unis.
ReplyDeleteThis is officially fucking ridiculous. Annnnd, Kellen Moore is definitely a hell of a college QB but even Chris Leak think he has a wet noodle for an arm.
Herbstreit just told us "there's still a long way to go." Yes, technically you're right Herbie.
ReplyDeleteSo, returning 20 of 22 starters can be a good thing?
ReplyDeleteBoise's D line is pretty sick.
Jurgen Melzer.
ReplyDeletelove the vt uni's except for helmet stripe...it looks purple in the front. purple is not one of their colors.
ReplyDeleteboyz-ee travels well - lots of blue in dem dar stands.
left hash - good.
ReplyDeleteany hash is good really.
I am enjoying the VT commercial that shows, for maybe 2 seconds, a student overseeing a horse on a treadmill. I don't remember classes like that in the Burg.
ReplyDeleteu sure it wasn't an alpha chi?
ReplyDeletetaylor's due for an int or fumble
ReplyDeleteWow, what a special teams shitshow.
ReplyDeletenot sure what i think about shia ladouche being in Wall Street
ReplyDeleteWho wants to fumble next?
ReplyDeleteDid D-Train just make a deep (and extremely on target) reference to a W&M sorority?
ReplyDeletejust what i heard
ReplyDeleteWall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a travesty. Its why God gave Michael Douglas cancer.
ReplyDeleteI have an issue with the Wall Street sequel being PG-13. Always bothered me following an R first installment with a PG-13 - I mean, did these people just stop dropping F-bombs and having graphic sex? Seems pretty unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteEarlier tonight I was informed that "The Big Bang Theory" is viewed by 30 million people a week. We need to find these people and we need to throw acid on their faces. I've taken care of two of them so far. I need all of you all to help.
ReplyDeleteMark, to your earlier arm comment, Ken Dorsey is laughing at Kellen.
ReplyDeleteTo put those Big Bang Theory numbers in perspective, they have 3.5X as many viewers as The Office at its peak, and more than 5X as many as 30 Rock. Society is dumb.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its the second most watched comedy...after Two and a Half Men. People suck.
ReplyDelete"Tyson and Tupac" 30-for-30? Yes, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited for that Tyson/Pac "30 for 30"
ReplyDeleteBrief sociological survey: Has anyone here actually watched a full episode of Jersey Shore? I have a theory that people are aware of the show and what its about...but no one really sits down and watches.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a minute of Jersey Shore.
ReplyDeleteI have seen quite a few fumbles during two games today.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a minute of it. I can name two cast members - The Situation and Snooki. I chalk that up mostly to turning on reality television with a vengeance in my late 20's. Now any show following 20-somethings getting drunk and/or yelling at each other gets a firm thumbs down from me.
ReplyDeleteis it true JWow and Snooki are gonna fight?
ReplyDeleteYeah...everyone talks about it...no one watches.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, here come the Hokies.
Brent, we remember. Don't you remember? You were teabagging the Broncos.
ReplyDeleteHow far in the rankings do the Broncos fall if they lose tonight? Low teens? Further?
ReplyDeleteWooooooooooooooow...
ReplyDeleteNice answer, Boise.
ReplyDeleteGame fucking on. We deserve a good one on Labor Day night
ReplyDeleteI'm thoroughly enjoying this game.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters are going to wake up at 5:30...possibly earlier...if I stay up for this shitshow, this game better be epic.
ReplyDeleteI watch Jersey Shore religiously.
ReplyDeleteWow, way to blow up that return.
ReplyDeleteIt has a hint of epic-ness...and some paprika.
ReplyDeleteGuesses on how old Musberger is?
ReplyDelete69?
ReplyDeleteUh oh, bitches be cramping!!
Midol for everyone.
ReplyDeleteGreat instincts TJ...you are close...
Hey, that kick was close.
ReplyDeleteWorst field goal attempt ever?
ReplyDeleteOh boy.
ReplyDeleteGeoff, you should stay up.
ReplyDeleteGeoff, get the coffee maker prepped.
ReplyDeleteI'm still here.
ReplyDeleteThis game just broke twitter.
ReplyDeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteWe've given people face transplants...I can use my phone to record programs on my tv remotely...but we can't fix that shit on Beamer's neck. Worst tech school ever. Less horses on treadmills, more time focused on Beamer's neck.
ReplyDeleteDid Taylor just pull a hammy?
ReplyDeleteMoons over my hammy?
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was my new bot.
If only Barbaro could've trained that way, maybe he'd be here still today.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking Brent's jacket. the tie, not so much.
ReplyDeleteHeather Cox lived in Boise? Does she live with Coby Karl?
ReplyDeleteI'll take obscure NBDL jokes for 800 hundred, Alex.
ReplyDeleteShe was probably asked out on a date by a local farmer on more than one occasion. Nothing against the place, but I imagine a girl who is a six becomes a 9.5 out there.
ReplyDeleteSlats is probably watching a classic NBDL game on NBAtv right now.
ReplyDeleteYeah...they don't have hot chicks like they do in Blacksburg (and Williamsburg).
ReplyDeleteFederer smash.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who does some business in Boise and loves it there. One day he tried selling me on it too. I was unconvinced.
ReplyDeleteActually, I thought the ref was reviewing marginal calls tonight on purpose - looked like he was chatting up the same cheerleader on two occasions.
ReplyDeleteDetroit 1-8-7.
ReplyDeleteMore than 1 episode, less than 8. Probably less than 7.
It was nice of Scott Van Pelt to help Lando Calrissian get all of those people out of Cloud City.
ReplyDeleteIs that another show trying to kickstart Michael Imperioli's career?
ReplyDeleteMichael Imperioli appeared briefly in my wedding video. It got canceled.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, they're one the left hash!!!!
ReplyDeleteRun a play to the right quick...
Left hash mark...aka VTech's 12th man.
ReplyDeleteThis kicker really is ray finkle
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, left hash.
ReplyDeleteTJ smoked the right hash.
ReplyDeleteLet Me In looks to be another horrendous horror movie.
ReplyDeleteLet Me In, starring Jeff Bergman.
ReplyDeleteDo we really need to praise a QB for the way he throws a bubble screen?
ReplyDeleteBoise will commit some PF's.
ReplyDeleteAs I said earlier, all the white guys on Boise Dt are dbags.
ReplyDeleteTo parrot something touched on earlier, Taylor's been too efficient so far. He's due to do something remarkably dumb.
ReplyDeleteThe DBs in this game are pretty fucking bad.
ReplyDeleteHey Mark, your boy Brantley threw quite a few bubble screens yesterday...
ReplyDeleteGeoff made me laugh out loud. The original Let Me In movie was made in Sweden or Poland or something like that and it had subtitles. I rented it about 2 years ago because the box said it was "the best vampire movie of all time" which is apparently like being the world's tallest midget. The ending was pretty good but the plot had too many holes.
ReplyDeleteor two days ago...
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for tomorrow's Samantha Stosur/Kim Clijsters match. During the first changeover they will inject each other with equine growth hormone and compare penis length. Should be good.
ReplyDeleteTyrod Taylor seems like kind of a dick,no?
ReplyDeleteIndeed he did (2 days ago). And I wasn't praising him either. Taylors been good but he's still pretty limited as a QB,
ReplyDeleteI say we're going to OT at 33-all.
ReplyDeleteIf Boise scores a TD with 1:30 or less the game is over, even though that's a ton of time by college standards. I don't trust Tyrod to move the chains in those conditions.
ReplyDeleteD-train, always bet against me.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a stop here, keep it interesting.
ReplyDeleteI not a big fan of Tech's playcalling down the stretch.
ReplyDeleteWow. You don't see that call overturned often.
ReplyDeleteMr. Mo Mentum might be changing his address.
ReplyDeleteWell, not overturned but...you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteOh my, here we go...
ReplyDeleteI've got no love lost for VT, but that was not a late hit.
ReplyDeleteWell, technically it was, but a crap call nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteWOAH
ReplyDeleteYour early Heisman candidate, despite the obvious physical deficiencies: Kellen Moore.
ReplyDeleteA nice drive for sure but the officiating the helped it was quite questionable.
ReplyDeleteVa Tech has 69 seconds to respond.
ReplyDeleteAccording to mayhugh, the game is over. Hope not. Let's see OT.
ReplyDeleteThis seems about the right time for an INT.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for overtime, but Mr. Taylor seems uncooperative.
ReplyDeleteInteresting decision on 4th down.
ReplyDeleteCatch the ball son.
ReplyDeleteGame over man.
Coach Peterson sounds like a Dukes of Hazzard character
ReplyDeleteBoise State's next competitive game will be for the national championship in January.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with TJ. Kellen Moore is going to get a lot of Heisman pub. All in all, a pretty impressive win for Boise. I don't think Va. Tech is great but they're solid and this was tough road win to start the season.
ReplyDeleteNow Boise can go back west and play the other junior colleges in their conference for the rest of the fall.
