I've always like songs about the stars and galaxies... and loneliness... and loneliness... and loneliness....
Thus "Massive Ballerina (Pirouttes for Millennia)" -- track 12 on the "Various Chimeras" CD-- but see also Mrs. Major Tom by K.I.A., from the "DXLR8" release...
Anyway here's the lyrics to Massive Ballerina:
Intimately,
beneath a digital moon,
fractal flowers,
in full bloom,
sway back and forth, as one...
infinitely dreaming ... MORE

A thousand words is worth a video ... and so here's a thousand words or so for the song "Slow Is the New Fast" by Shinjuku Zulu, from the Various Chimeras CD (at CDBABY.COM and at iTUNES )
If you want to read the text completely you have to pause or manually scroll through the video. Or just watch it a few times at regular speed... each time you see it, you'll pick up on different words and perhaps get a different experience of the video.
It is, obviously, about... MORE

Composed from 400+ images, it's basically an A.D.D. rebus for the obsessively-compulsive-multi-syllabic-phoneme-full electro-rap song "Shanghai Masai" by Shinjuku Zulu (feat. MC Shankhini).
(A rebus basically uses pictures in place of words,
i.e. the lyric "Tokyo gringo" = toe + key + yoyo + the letter "g" + wedding ring + green light... etc. )
The song is from the "Various Chimeras" CD, on iTunes Here and Mp3s for any player (& CDs) of the song are also at CDb... MORE

Celebrities are like cock-a-roaches, they are everywhere and you can't get rid of them. (Scott Baio, Hulk Hogan, Anna Nicole Smith, anyone?) In post-apocalyptic America-- which, say, should be sometime in the next year or so-- I suspect there will be nothing... MORE

Here's the new music video for the song "Make Me Shake (Gimme Some Crush Crush) by Shinjuku Zulu, from the Various Chimeras CD
The video casts allusions to Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", or Matthew Barney's "The Cremaster Series" in which the human body transmorgif-- ah fuck, forget it. I admit. It's a booty video. Just a sexy, scantily clad chick or two dancing and shaking their moneymaker(s). But they do it, you know, in front of fine art. (My remixable works , b.t.w.) ... MORE

The movie (opening this weekend) is getting good reviews, especially Jackson's performance...
