Malibu Ken, or retro electric garage rap.

It takes a degree of intentional ignorance to like Malibu Ken.  I respect them for the technicality they possess, though at the same time I feel like I have to hate music childishly to find energy in their harmonic dissonance and 80's garage band style.  If you still listen to music, you can appreciate this as a unique impression on 80's electro/pop, and you will hear a rebellious sound that hits a tonal paradox for being both busy, and boring.  Malibu Ken mainly gets its' audience through the indie following of each of these two members respectively. (Aesop Rock & TOBACCO)

Watching the wheel go round, or the Vanier parkway song

Hoe hoe hoe Down Vanier parkway The gift of love Is the apparent partay You can bust a nut On the sugar queen swirl Or give back to charity In the crackhead world If it’s broke, You fix it Simple and done But their time is a mission And they sell their buns Where a heart string creaks And Brook sold her pearls A thief sold his crack Then pimped out the girl Hoe hoe hoe Down Vanier parkway Could we ever find love And bring back Sunday? It’s now a confession Of too many crimes Indifference is deliverance When you watch people die An ambulance for Murphy A wagon for joe These are the homeless With no where to go. We see city taxes As a way to brighten our world So we stomp down on trash And ambitiously hurl Do we make the effort To show we are afraid What disgusts us distrusts us And they hide in the shade Could all this money Go to a wage? Prisons and shelters And services made? Can a sl...

Who said that we need education?

How many people in society have landed jobs respectively, in the field of study or education they pursued after high school? I am guessing it's not a very reassuring statistic you want to use in taking the realistic success rate of the post-secondary system. But to some degree, we still hold back our judgment and remain to our convictions that the education system is a beneficial aspect of our society. How could it be doing anything wrong? People are using their time productively and working, and learning. They are learning well. Or more exactly, their senses are being stimulated conductively to the coordination of their memories, and they are paying a lot of money to be responsible for anything they perceive. Of special consideration to keep their theory and practice within the moral high ground of the instructor. Regardless, a university is an icon representing values and virtues, that are seamlessly integrated into our perception of society. We learn history, how to be ...

Why is it Dark? A criticism of critics.

If you think a film is dark, could you elaborate on that? A comedy can be dark, an action movie can be dark, a horror can hit the unexpected and be a surprisingly well lit, yet it is what it is, dark. In all of these examples dark can be used to define things that are unalike each other. You could say a comedy has self deprecating humour. The action film is comically violent or excesses in profanity. The horror dwells into the grotesque and violent imagery. Should you just assume what this means according to the genre, or do you find the criticism of saying a film is dark(and calling it a day) doesn’t cut it? What do you do when a film reinvents a genre or blends genres in an original way? My criticism of the YouTube film critics nowadays, is that some apply this term to define a movie in their review, and no one ever seems to call them out. I know the average viewer doesn’t want garbage, so why accept this? Ever since Sin City(2005), and...
