After it was sampled in the retardly awesome Children of men i knew King Crimson was a special band. at the moment i'm listening to the album RED. This is difficult music and it's NOT mainstream. i would not recomend it to a regular pop loving member of our fine society. nontheless its awesome music. it's very aggressive at times and docile at others. you hear traces of 90's grunge, heavy metal, and baroque folk laced into the songs. percussion on One more red Nightmare are amazing and the guitar work on their first album In the Court of The Crimson king was fucking brilliant.
truly great music. it's in the genra of progressive rock which means it's anything that wasn't metal or disco or pop at the time.

Fun with Gamecube!
Ok so far i have resident evil 4 (15$). Zelda: wind Waker (18$). and Rogue leader (10$ US Dollars).
resident evil 4 is one of the best games i played this year. hands down amazing. Robo's comment about the series' game mechanics is accurate and RE4 manages to throw everything that sucked out the window. gone are the annoying puzzles. gone are the restrictive prerender backdrops, gone is the pos gunplay. everything is MUCH MORE accessible and makes you ask "why hasn't there be a RE game like this before?". it's awesome. long too. i'm 15 hours in and still on disk 1.
Zelda is great too. it's a departure from the classic presentation and the i was happy to see the sword mechanics being a bit deeper. the puzzles are classic zelda and you cant help but get a little attached to the little guy you control (i named him Mike). graphics are really nice too and the game is really deep. everywhere i go i notice places and people who i could possibly do soemthing for. there's a sidequest everywhere you look.
Rogue Leader is the weakest game by far. I wanted this game when the gamecube first came out for it's then amazing and now pretty decent visuals. unfortunately the gamplay doesn't cut it. it's still fun but not addicting in any way. the mission difficulty scale is wild making some mission a cake walk and others a frustrating tantrum. next time i play this game i'm going online for codes because i've played the same mission like 20 times without being able to beat it. and it's not a fun challenge like COD 4 was (i did one mission like 40 times on veteran difficulty because it was incredibly fun to beat) instead rogue leader is just annoying in that you get too close to a star destroyer and your ass is pounded by turbo lasers.
overall it's been a really great gaming sexperiance and a budget. 25$ for the gamecube and about 40$ for 3 games. you cant beat that deal with a stick.

looking forward reading some cool stuff.

I am Legend
I hope this movie is good, i really do.
if you've never read the book it's about a disease that turns everyone into vampire zombies. but it's primarily about the mental anguish the protagonist goes through after he barricades himself in his house for 3 years fending off the vampire zombies who only attack at night.
i gave this book to my friend to read and he said it was ok. i wanted to slap him on the forehead (impossible because he told me this over IM but still)
the book is great, nuff said. it's short but really potent and feels like it's longer.
on the the movie. so they got Will smith to play the lead. he's the last man on earth. what will be important here is his performance because i couldn't care less about special effects. i hope he delivers and i kinda think he will because he's good at playing tough guys with weaknesses (Ali).
i'd love to read the script and see how the end the movie. there where two prior film apperations of the book. one was The Last Man on Earth played by this gay guy who's name i forgot, and the next one was The Omega Man which is with Charlton Hesten. it's a 70's film and has some kickass cinematography and interesting characters and dialogue. but overall it's a mediocre film due to plot weirdness and not being faithful to the book.
it comes out in a week, i'll proly see it at Imax.
also current book i'm reading is The Road by southern gothic master McCarthy. pretty good so far.

Gamecube and Resident Evil 4
well folks i scored a gamecube for 30 dollars of criagslist. a nice gentleman came down from the Bronx to meet me in union sqr for the exchange. good favor on him for giving me such a good deal. plus i got two controlers so i can buy Super Smash Bros and play with friends.
baller.
that same day I bought resident evil 4. took everything home and plugged my gamecube into my TV. it looks pretty dismal on my HDTV so i hooked it up to my old CRT at the foot of my bead (i use my LCD TV as a computer monitor so that's on my desk). started playing Resident Evil 4.
it took me a while to get used to the controls. no strafing what the shit?
i got up to the first village and got my ass handed to be by foul mouther Spaniards. (seriously they mutter the words shit in spanish pretty consistently) they're also creepy as fuck.
then this douche-and-a-half with a paper bag over his head runs at me with a chainsaw. i pump him with two rounds but he makes it over fast enough to swipe my head right off clean. nice going douchebag with a chainsaw.
then i realized i need to write a 7 pager paper for the next day so i stopped playing.
overall the game is pretty interesting. graphically it looks great for a gamecube title, and i can definitely see it being scary. also they gave this entry into the serious some balls by allowing big shootouts. you get ammo and health everywhere nonstop.
once this paper is done i'll head over to union and buy Zelda: Twilight Princess.
