porn tunes

no, this isn’t about shitty porn music…

…hell, the newer stuff doesn’t even have it.

no music at all – just groaning and moaning and shit. it’s clearly a dead “art” form, although it did see it’s moment in the sun when some of the schlock was released on cd…but for a brief moment it seemed like they’d release EVERYTHING on cd; but then cd’s became a dying “art” as well as they begat mp3, which actually has a lower sound quality but is more convenient (i say this as one blares in the background while i’m typing which i got yesterday because, well, i could have it sent to the shop versus having to run to waterloo or something…oops.)

moving on…

no, this is a tuesday twofer – which i just realized is a bit odd, ’cause that’s always two small things that weren’t “worthy” of being in their own bit, but i wanted to mention. reason that’s odd is because i just did a sunday bit that was SIX little bits that weren’t worthy; to some this mean i’m just kind of phoning it in this week (fuck you) and to others it means i’m killing it ’cause this is EIGHT little bits in forty-eight hours!

we’ll go with that second one – and speaking of two things…

they know what you rented last night

i’ve recently gotten into pay-per-view at home (i.e. “direct tv cinema”). oddly, it goes to the “convenience” factor i mentioned on the mp3 reference above, and partially due to holiday funding issues. it all started with the campaign which is easily the most hysterical flick i’ve seen in a looooooooooong time; due to it’s parallels with this years election (which is almost insulting to the movie – the actual election this year was more ridiculous) i wanted to watch it on election night, blinking back and forth between that and poll results. it was out on dvd and blu-ray ($25 bucks), but not at redbox where i could rent it…so instead of dropping $1.30 i dropped $4.99 and got it on direct-tv cinema instantly. i was able to record it on my dvr without watching it so now i’ve got it any time i want to see it, same picture quality as dvd (if not blu-ray!) and had access to the broadcasts of it (every half hour) for forty-eight hours…

…and it’s that last part that i think could bite you in the ass if you’re playful like me (IF you know what i’m saying and i think you do) and have a little one at home (which i don’t but the girl i’m seeing does); what if we rent porn? does that same forty-eight hours apply? i mean, recently with expendables 2 (also excellent – can’t wait for the third!) i ended up recording it, watching it live the night i ordered it (thanksgiving as traditional “after parties” dried up one by one), saving it on the dvr, and then just ’cause it was the channel that came up when i’d turn on the tv watching it again on friday night after i closed the shop and friday afternoon when i was getting ready to go to work; i guess we would need to remember to NOT leave the tv set on the the channel we were watching “celebrity apprent-ass” or something? considering the typical “porn-to-playtime” timeline that might be a tough thing to keep track of…just sayin’.

finally at five figures

okay, so the above thing probably could have stood on its own as a bit today, but i wanted to toss this out there:

yep, motherfuckers – finally at over 10,000 tracks on the iTunes…and only a year behind schedule, i believe…but WITHOUT starting in on converting vinyl!
