You like fish, why not English?

This is the question of the day, ladies and gents. And it is being posed by no less of a personage than the mongrel love child of GW Bush and Ross Perot, who is apparently in Japan pretending that he is President of the United States.

This movie (alternate version, both Quicktime) is worth it just for the bit where they make Bush dance the Hucklebuck for a second.

Dry water.

That’s right, water that is not wet (via BoingBoing). Shit is almost too wild. I can’t really imagine what this stuff feels like, smells like, even looks like. I’m willing to bet it tastes like ass, though.

What I really want to do is put a black light in this dry water, but I’m slightly afeared of being instantly transported to a strange new dimension where everyone walks around in circles upside down.

I am also afeared that the Science Men are now that much closer to developing Ice-Nine.

Dujeous? But of course.

Now in stores, a decade in the making, the “debut” album from Dujeous? (they may have dropped the question mark officially, but I still got love for it). They call it City Limits:

Now full disclosure, the drummer Tomek is one of my oldest friends from high school; you’re not gonna hear much shit talking from me. I think the cover is a bit weak, getting a little to close to what these guys do, but that’s really all. Every song is excellent, and even better when you see them live. The Roots may have put live hip-hop ensembles on the map, but these guys have really refined the idea; they play together like seven different limbs of one creature. You don’t have to believe me, but you (probably) know me; you know that I don’t recommend things to people just because I like them. I’ve gotta believe you’ll like them too, and you will, if you’ve ever liked any rap this side of the No Limit Soldiers (album cover notwithstanding).

You can hear the single from the album at Third Earth Music, who also have some other artists I’ve recently been exposed to and enjoyed, specifically Roosevelt Franklin and Science Fiction.

Also, if after the album you can’t get enough, or if you’re longing for that old-time Dujeous? flavor, then cop this.

Finally, once you know what the deal is, come see them next Tuesday, April 13th at Southpaw. You know I’ll be there, reppin’ BK to the fullest. Fort Grizzle, y’all.
