Dope Media of the Day – Food… we need food!

Media, Music

I’m normally not a big fan of “make something outta food” meme, but this is clever:

All of these countries are featured in Street Fighter games. COINCIDENCE!?!?!

Recently, I’ve been listening to a lotta (MF) DOOM again. His unorthrodox flow and cheesy 80’s cartoons samples are like buttered onions for me. AKA Dope + Dope = Double Dope. Homeboy even made a whole album loosely-themed around another one of my favorite subjects: FOOD. Acutally, he also has 9 CDs of instrumentals where every track is named after a spice of some sort. That’s dedication.

dangerdoomghostHe’s semi-big shit with the “DUDE I’m HELLA underground” crowd these days though, ever since he’s been featured on some Adult Swim stuff. All good, I suppose. I ain’t one of those people; I still got love for the Villain. In fact, one of his tracks offa the MM..FOOD album is one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME{{1}}.

[[1]]Anagrams are also dope.[[1]]

MF DOOM – Beef Rapp

The beat is just too dope{{2}}. The flow is too gorgeous. But it’s the samples that get me. Too ridiculous.

BONUS: I need to find a reason to use this ringtone I made. Also, Meat Wrap!

[[2]]Have I said “dope” enough? Online, dope is my go to word for “cool”. IRL though, I don’t use it too much. When something is hella cool though, I say, “DOP”. Pronounced daap. I dunno why I say it like that, droppin E like I’m Mac Dre.[[2]]

And So it Continues… both the eventual super takeover of the googleplex {{1}}, and my exceedingly parasitic love/hate relationship with Big mother?brother?uncle? google. [[1]]GPS is a love/hate thing. If this was some “Enemy of the State” shit, there’s no way I’d be able to survive w/o my phone and laptop.[[1]]

If your favorite bookmarking site isn’t here, rolling your own for your favorite site is easy. Just check out the API & bookmarklet for your site, and refer to the above examples as a reference. I’ve never worked with an API before, but figured out diigo’s in a few minutes.

From Chester 5000 XYV

I never really got into the whole steampunk thing either. Too oldschool for me; There are some geeky paths that even I do not tread.

But this webcomic by Jess Fink might change that. Set in the Victorian era, Chester 5000 XYV is “a tale of erotic, robotic romance” about a woman, her husband, and the robot he built to keep her company. I highly recommend it, even if you’re not into “H” stuff (H is Japanese for NSFW so clicky clicky behind closed doors please).

Chester is a quick read, largely due to the fact that the only words to be found are sound effects. The story is told through squiggly lines, sweatdrops and some of the most emotive faces and gestures I’ve ever seen in a comic. Though the Woman-on-Robot (on Woman) steaminess often takes the spotlight, it’s the underlying love story that kept me from closing the window in a guilty rush.

Fink publishes the comic every Tuesday & Thursday, on a pretty consistent basis. Take a few minutes, check it out, and let me know what you think in the comments!

PS: Just because I’m not surrounded by us, doesn’t mean that I don’t see we everywhere I look.
