Wu-Tangs First interview On 1991 Public Access
Yessir, we have here what some experts say is the first ever interview of the Wu-Tang clan, from before they even called themselves Wu-Tang. It's the GZA (then doing business as the Genius), Ol' Dirty Bastard (then going by Ason Unique), and RZA (then known as Prince Rakeem). Look towards the end for an ill beatbox rap yeaaaaaaaa.
Foo Fighters Play Ed Sullivan(Beatles Style)
Taken from the WAAF blog, Boston's hard rock radio.
Here’s the full 60 minute-plus performance by the Foo Fighters from the Letterman show. Kudos to the Foos for recognizing the Rock-N-Roll Landmark that is The Ed Sullivan Theater by using the Beatles font on Taylor’s kick drum and wearing the classic Beatle suits from their Historic Ed Sullivan Show Appearance in 1964. Grohl gets the pass on mimicking the myth from his various stints as Paul McCartney’s drummer. They tried their hardest to keep those British Invasion style poses for the show but the were eventually overtaken by the urge to Rock. The Foos new album “Wasting Light” is in stores now. Hear tracks and interviews from the WAAF Foo Fighters Radio Takeover here.
Royal Harrier Force's Says Goodbye
The British government retired their fleet of harriers, which are bad ass planes that can take off without moving in any direction but strait up like a helicopter, a feature known as VTOL(vertical take off and landing. Well those saucy brits made one last flyby over the Parliament Building, apparantly with a message. Can you see it?
Mr Orsen Scott Card Loves BEBOP!
Follow MEME long enough and you'll realize just how much I love it when to great things come together. SciFi legend Orson Scott Card of Ender series fame recently praised the anime that defies genrea with every episode, saying the show is "better than all but a handful of science fiction films." This is coming from a multiple Hugo Award winner.
"What can I say, except that to my vast surprise, I found this series brilliant. It's often funny, sexy in a mostly chaste kind of way – these are drawings, after all – and the action is gripping.
But what held me was a combination of strong relationship-based storytelling, a moody visual style that never got old and really smart dialogue."
"I'd compare this to the great TV series Firefly, except that since Firefly came out in 2002, and resembles Cowboy Bebop in many ways (including quality), I can't guess whether Firefly creator Joss Whedon was influenced by Cowboy Bebop, was deliberately doing an hommage, or created such a similar series by sheer coincidence." (Orson Scott Card)
