Lil' wheezy fo$hiz-easy Wayne and million other AKA's

The cryptic album "Million More AKA's" by New Orleander Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is a giant collaboration between the (self proclaimed) best rapper alive and a zillion other thugs that, when not incarcerated, are dwelling in hoods of different kinds. Recognize. To my great surprise and appreciation Beavis and Butthead appear on the song Mines and brings Wheezy down a peg. Wunderbar, otherwise Faded with Tyga would be one of the strongest tracks in an altogether only OK album, far from the masterpiece of Da Drought 3 from 2007. Still, if you like hip hop and head-ache inducing bass, like myself, then give it a go.

AWOLNATION getting their megalithic symphony on

AWOLNATION, like the name suggests, involves a lot of screaming by the lead singer Aaron Bruno in their album from March last year entitled "Megalithic Symphony". Supposedly an electronic rock band, they deliver a mix of MGMT, The Killers and a lot of screaming for songs by the likes of the late Wolfmother (pride of Australia). Be sure not to miss Not Your Fault - the track that will make you look up the band and legally download the album from PirateBay (only in Switzerland). If this band can keep from disintegrating withing their fist years, we might have something here.

Nóz w wodzie, 1962


"Knife in the water" is Roman Polański's first, so called, feature film - i.e. people actually went to the cinema and paid to see it. It was made in 1962 and Polański co-wrote it with Jerzy Skolimowski and Jakub Goldberg in Polish. Needless to say, much has changed since then, especially what people will call a good movie for the sake of it. Do yourself a favor and only go and see it if you enjoy long scenes, can appreciate borderline humor, are fascinated by Polish behavior and don't mind a black-and-white movie with only 3 actors in it. Otherwise, you might just not like it all that much.

The story? Polish couple meets Polish stranger and chillaxes with him on a private sail boat wherefrom they get to know each other better and reality seeps in. Naturalism as far from Hollywood as you can get - which is a definite plus.
