Confessions of The One Bloke Who Survived The H-Bomb

"Last night I was dreamin'
I dreamed about the H-bomb
The bomb went up from outta the sky I was the only man on the ground

There were thirteen women and only one man in town
Ahhh, thirteen women and only one man in town
And as funny as it may be
The one and only man in town was me
There were thirteen women and only one man around"


The Renegades - Thirteen Women (movie version)
(From Some Finnish movie I don't know the name of; 1966)




AKA the latest instllment of Greatest Movie Scenes Ever.

If the greatest random performance of Rap song in a movie is Digital Underground & 2Pac doing Same Song in Nothing But Trouble, then the greatest random performance of a Rock song in a movie is either L7 doing Gas Chamber in Serial Mom or The Renegades doing Thirteen Women in a sewing factory in some Finnish movie I don't even know the name of.

A British Freakbeat cover of a Bill Haley & His Comets song, Thirteen Women is best described as Carry On proto-Groundhogs. The Renegades were a Birmingham band who were bigger in Finland than they were in England, but clearly had a huge impact on fellow Brummie dirtbags Black Sabbath. Musically, Thirteen Women is stomp-tremendo Garage Rock with haunted house organ; lyrically, Thirteen Women is a teenage wank fantasy episode of The Twilight Zone staring Robin "Confessions of.." Askwith and set after a nuclear explosion. This movie version of the song has slightly different vocals to the single version and the song flows far better as a story this way. Peep 1:00 for the singer pulling an orgasm-face in case his innuendo went over your head.

Fly away to the danger zone

"And the cops are on my tail
Musta done a thousand rails
I'm gonna end up in jail
Tell 'em all I'll see you in Hell"


The Guy - Sorry Buddy
(From Sorry Buddy single; 2023)



Back in 2009 who'd have ever thunk that blogfather photographer The Arab Parrot would end up on the other side of the camera a decade later with acting roles in a Liam Hemsworth movie and various TV shows? His unlikely career pivot just got even more fly because him & his flock just dropped the best Squawk & Roll song of 2023. With Parrot playing the role of Frank B and his m8 the mountain lion kid on 1987 Izzy Stradlin-level composing duty, they've turned Bird Lieutenant's personal conduct into a universal choon by imagining what would happen if The Modern Lovers wrote a Mötley Crüe song. As Sam The Eagle probably said, the beak shall inherit the Earth.

Best thing I ever discovered on the old Arab Parrot blog? This fan-made video for Gucci Mane's I Move Chickens.

Reasons why I love YouTube # 72

Shout outs to YouTube, the HD uncensored version of Guns N' Roses' 1988 show at The Ritz is on that bitch! Peep how Axl Rose's snakeskin jacket glistens like jizm under moonlight, and hear the G.O.A.T rawk song of the '80s free from any of MTV's annoying bleeping during its profane final third:



L.A's Streetz is talkin' and they reckon that Axl's trademark Snake Dance was just a modified Crip Walk for white ppl. The proof is in the prancing:

Let Noz down

Gunplay - Drop Da Tint
(From Acquitted mixtape; 2013)


Fuck me gently with 2 Chainz, this is that type of scandalously savage shit that'll make one of Noz's fellow first wave Rap bloggers start spazzin' out in front of chix, son.

*Jim Jones ad lib voice* I THINK SHE LIKE ME! *Jim Jones ad lib voice*

Transmitting live from Mars Volta

Couple of talking points about this classic Tommy Boy advert for De La's 3 Feet High And Rising below :


1. Was esteemed rock-canon expert Questlove responsible for the "The Sergeant Peppers' of The Eighties" tagline?

2. Would it have been such a bad thing if the alabaster devil on the poster had come out of his local store clutching a record by U2 in 1989 since he could've copped the 7" of the only good song they've ever made?

Buck dodgers

As great as So Much Money, I Ain't Sparin' N*ggas, Who Da Neighbors and Smoke That Bitch were last year, Juicy J should probably retreat back to Memphis and shut the fuck up for the remainder of 2012 because there wasn't anything salvageable from his Blue Dream & Lean mixtape, and Koopsta Knicca is probably weeping syrup tears at the prospect of him making Weed-Rap alongside Wiz Khalifa and Berner now he's signed with Taylor Gang. Many an old mercenary Rapper has crashed on the rocks when attempting to sail towards waters populated by da youf in the internet-collaboration era, so lets have a round of applause for DJ Paul's new mixtape eschewing trendy guest spots from Kreayshawn, A$AP Rocky and SpaceGhostPurrp, and not deviating from the Three 6 Mafia blueprint of sounding evil yet fun.

The original version of Cocky is a top 5 single of the year thus far, so it's baffling why they've only included the inferior remix with 2 Chainz on the 'tape, but the Buck Nah remix here is a revelation since it dispenses with the services of long time cameo parasite Ya Boy and ratchets up the aggression of the original so that this shit now sounds like it should score a Taco restaurant fight video on WSHH directed by Michael Bay circa Bad Boys 2 :

DJ Paul - Buck Nah remix

Martorial elegance # 26

As Barratt says when he mailed me this picture, it's a prerequisite for crap housewarming parties that some fuckwit produces acoustic guitar at some point.



For proof that great minds think alike, I refer you to this pearl of wisdom from a Fabolous freestyle :



You wanna sing like a parrot do?/
then dem boyz gonna do ya head like Jeff Jarrett do

I pull strings like guitar strings down in spain



There are few things more despicable than white men with acoustic guitars. If it's not some busking flesh 'n' blood flotsam & jetsam belting out Wonderwall so loudly that it drowns out whatever song i'm listening to on my mp3 player as i saunter past them munching on one of those Gillian McKeith Hemp Seed Oil bars then it's being subjected to songs via the radio at work/in shops by emoting singer-songwriter skid stain on the boxer shorts of humanity ponces who shed hot-dog brine tinged tears as they gently strum their 6 stringed wooden instruments.

Al Green with an acoustic guitar, though, is a whole 'nother story :



This recent G. Mane song which samples Simply Beautiful is hot :

G. Mane - If It Ain't



But this other recent G. Mane song which doesn't sample Simply Beautiful and which features G-Side is even hotter as it's like what would have happened if UGK ever did a track with Nate Dogg :

G. Mane ft. G-Side - No One Duz It Betta
