The BEEeeeeeaaaaasssstiiiieeeeee BOOOOoooooyyyzzzz

^You're supposed to sound like this when you read the title

I think somewhere around the time of 2004 right around the release of their 6th album, To The 5 Boroughs, I remember there being countless Beastie Boys marathons on MTV2. These marathons were aimed at promoting them as well as giving people insight as to where they are coming from, this marathon opened up my ears to a new sound, "The Sounds of Science."

L-R Mike D, King Ad-Rock, MCA

Like most people the first song that hit me was "Intergalactic" [which is still my favorite]. The song featured something I never knew I liked before, sampling. Despite being a hip hop track, Intergalactic used samples from jazz and classical music to produce a very complex beat that just seemed to flow on forever. The song Intergalactic won them a grammy while the video won them a VMA, apparently, I had good taste in music. Even though by now Intergalactic was old, the impact stuck and I found myself searching for more Beastie Boys music.

As mentioned before, this was during the release of the album To The 5 Boroughs and it seemed only natural to look for songs from this album. "Ch-Check it Out" was the most popular track off that album and the video for it played regularly. This song was a bit less interesting than Intergalactic but the video was pure lolwut and I couldn't stop watching. The next video to debut was "Triple Trouble" which sampled the Sugar Hill Gang's 'Rapper's Delight'. Yet again this video was pure lolwut but this in particular put more focus on the fourth member of the group Mix Master Mike. Mix Master Mike was the newest member of the group who came on right before the release of the 'Hello Nasty' album, of course looking for more stuff from him lead me to this song "3 MCs and 1 DJ" OMG that was the most epic piece of DJing I have ever seen in my life.

L-R MCA, Mix Master Mike, Ad-Rock and Mike D

After discovering Mix Master Mike, I went off on a tangent looking for other DJs which is where I discovered people like Fatboy Slim, DJ Qbert and DJ Shadow. He also released some albums for himself most recently the two available for download on him website 'Napalm Rockets' and 'Live Beatdown Vol 1' opened my ears into world of dubstep, which brought me into discovering grime, house and other electronic based genres that now populate most of my music. Anyways to read up more on Mix Master Mike click here.

Back to the Beastie Boys, another song that pulled up was their track, "Fight for Your Right To Party" I didn't fancy that song but the rest of the album, Licensed To Ill [their 1st album btw] was soooo awesome. That album was produced by Rick Rubin [he also produced both Run-DMC's and LL Cool J's first album] the beats were simple and in some cases only had a simple drum beat. By far my favorite song on that album was "Paul Revere" followed by "Hold It Now Hit It"

The Beastie Boys and Run-DMC

If you were paying attention to the video's you would have noticed the huge gap between how they looked then and now. Licensed To Ill was released in 1986 and between then and Hello Nasty they had 3 other albums 'Paul's Boutique', 'Check Your Head' and 'Ill Communication'. These 3 albums grew on me slowly as there was such a large genre gap between these 3 albums and the previous 3 albums I was listening to.

'Check Your Head' was their 3rd album and featured songs composed entirely by them with their own instruments. I like the numerous instrumental tracks on this album but failed to really grasp the other songs until I listened to them one at a time slowly taking in more and more songs. "Gratitude" was my favorite song for a while and eventually songs like "So What'cha Want" and "Skills to Pay the Bills" [dope beat btw] followed.

'Ill Communication' was just as hard to like but featured two of my all time favorite songs [Sabotage and Flute Loop] as well as some more instrumentals [who doesn't like instrumentals]

'Paul's Boutique' is by far my favorite Beastie album. It featured samples from almost every single song and for me describe its awesomeness will not do it justice, so I suggest you listen to the entire album yourself [with an open mind] and take note of how complex the beats are. I leave you with, what I think is the greatest music video ever, "Shadrach".

After 'To The 5 Boroughs' I was delighted to hear that the Beastie Boys were still making albums, 'The Mix-Up' [they won a grammy for that as well] and 'The Hot Sauce Committee Parts 1&2'. The Mix-Up is purely instrumental and it takes another departure from their typical hip hop genre by venturing into the world of jazz. The song "Off the Grid" is just a sample of what to expect from the album. As for the 'Hot Sauce Committee' both parts 1&2 have been put on hold primarily due to the recent illness of MCA. This album however looks promising and is definately worth the wait. "B-Boys in the Cut", "Too Many Rappers" ft Nas and "Lee Majors Come Again" have all met my Beastie Boys approval standards. Definately looking forward to hearing both albums in full, but until then, get better soon MCA.

2010 awards [for the other racing series]

Apart from F1 I occasionally catch snipets of racing from LMS, Moto GP, DTM and NASCAR [in order of frequency] So here is a collection of my favorite moments [from the races I've watched] outside of F1

Best Overtake: Anthony Davidson @ 24 Hours of Le Mans [LMP1 Class]

The typical story of Le Mans for the past 3 races was the Peugeots were fast but the Audi more reliable. Around this point, Anthony Davidson [former F1 driver and quite a fast person] was driving the last Peugeot 908 HDi FAP [as the rest of them spontaneously combusted] his job was to push the car as hard as possible to pass the Audis and bring back the Le Mans crown to the French constructor, this is just one of his many daring maneuvers to take back the crown.

Crash of the Year: Luke Hines @ Mosport [ALMS GTC Class]

The impact into the gaurdrail from this crash completely destroyed it leading the race to be red flagged due to safety concerns. Just watch it for yourself

Golden Cock: Anthony Davidson

As mentioned before, Anthony Davidson was on a charge to chase down the Audis, his commitment to the race line lead to the loss of Corvette's hope for winning their debut in the GT2 class. The accident was bad enough but the interview made it worse.

Rivalry of the year: The entire GT2 field

ALMS is a wonderful little racing series packed with excitement stemming from 4 main classes, like with all endurance racing, the typical end result is a winner some lap or 2 ahead of 2nd place, not in the GT2 class. With competition coming from the Flying Lizard Porsche, the Risi Competizione Ferrari F430, the Rahal Letterman M3 and the Pratt & Miller Corvette. What was once a toss up between which Porsche shall win, is now a 4 way dog fight at each track. Although the BMWs took the constructor title by one point from the Lizards, Flying Lizard took the driver's title and each of the 4 won at least one race of the season. I just can't wait till the 2011 24hrs of Le Mans. So unfortunately although the racing was close, I don't have any footage of some of the close racing [including some footage of all four of them trailing each other at Mosport] but I do have clips from what makes GT2 so awesome from previous seasons.

Porsche vs Corvette @ Laguna Seca

Porsche vs Ferrari @ Sebring

Catastropic Failure: Peugeot 908 HDi FAP @ Le Mans

As mentioned before the Peugeots at Le Mans just exploded one by one, the last Peugeot [a 2009 spec car] was the last hope for Peugeot to gain some glory, but with just 1 hour and 15 mins to go the inevitable happened.

Moment of the Year: Top Gear Season 15 Episode 5

The greatest episode of Top Gear aired this year featuring their biggest stars ever [Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz], the most beautiful race they ever had [some swedish youths vs a VW Touareg], the fastest car ever [the Bugatti Veyron SS] and a tribute to the greatest F1 driver ever [Ayrton Senna]. Watch here.

Lolz Moment: Potholes @ Daytona 500

So, I watched my first ever NASCAR race this year only to watch it get delayed because of potholes on the track. As the great Dale Jr said "Just put a cone on it and lets go back to racing"

Race of the Year: 24 Hrs of Le Mans

Epic race was epic, the only way to watch it is to watch it next year. There are no reruns or highlights of this race [in English at least], if you want a torrent, good luck.

Rookie of the Year: Kimi Raikkonen

The man with absolutely nothing to say made his full season debut in the WRC for the Citroen Junior team. Despite a couple crashes and only one stage win, Raikkonnen managed to win the non WRC Rallye Vosgien which lead to some promise for next season. I still want to see if he is able knock Loeb off of his crown in a works Citroen. Will that happen however? The world may never know.

Driver of the Year: Valentino Rossi

The biggest news for Rossi this year was a switch to Ducati for 2011, this alone is good news for Rossi, but the fact he was able to pull off a third place in the driver's championship season is the highlight for me. Despite missing out 3 races from an injury attained in practice, Rossi showed his dominance by managing to hold on and a couple more races before the season was over.

Music Highlight: what's left of it

So, its the holidays and the racing season is over, so I shall talk about my second love, music. Because I'm still in an electro-house phase I might as well dish out the rest of my favorite artists from that genre.

Swedish House Mafia

The Swedes are cool, they gave us Ikea, Saab, Koenigsegg and Stig Blomqvist, so why haven't I heard of their music? I dunno but anyways, the Swedish House Mafia [cool name I must add] have pretty much defined what I think Swedish music should sound like; cool, steady, good typography and interesting in a weird way.

One feat. Pharrell

Miami 2 Ibiza feat Tinie Tempah

MSTRKRFT

I've mentioned in my previous post that deadmau5 was my favorite Canadian musician, so here's #2 MSTRKRFT [pronounced master craft] They sound alot like Justice primarily because they both have a similar deformed bastardized set of strings that I can never identify but if you listen, you may be able to hear what I'm talking about.

Bounce ft Nore & Isis

D.A.N.C.E. [MSTRKRFT rmx] - Justice

Vuvuvu [i promise vuvuzelas are not involved]

Neon Knights [personal favorite]

Street Justice

Paris

Mark Ronson

Back when Amy Winehouse was not in rehab and she had talent I paid attention to her songs and found her cover for Valerie, it was amazing but I couldn't help noticing the producer, Mark Ronson. Eventually I forgot about him until my official music advisor reminded me of him. The advisor notified me of his new album, Record Collection. His music is all clean and happy and stuff, but listen to him for yourself.

Valerie ft Amy Winehouse

Bang Bang Bang ft MNDR & Q-Tip

Ooh Wee ft Ghost Face Killah & Nate Dogg

Oh My God ft Lily Allen

Lose It ft Ghostface Killah & Alex Greenwald

Lycantropii

Lycantropii is a group [with no information] that specialize in mash-ups. It is the greatest collection of mash-ups that I have ever heard. You can get the entire album here. The music is a mix of mellow grooves and hard beats hit against some popular tracks.

Tiesto

The Dutch, the most interesting group of people in the world; Spyker, Rembrandt, Piet Mondrian, Gerrit Rietveld and Van Gogh are perfect examples. So now music! Tiesto is one of the greatest DJs in the world but I'm now tired so here are the videos.

2011 The Jaguar XF Black Pack Luxury Sedan

There are different engine choices available, all with varying degrees of power. The XF Premium trim comes equipped with a 8 cylinder 5.0 Ltr with 385 horsepower. The XF Supercharged engine has the same specs but puts out 470 horsepower. The ultimate Supercharged XFR puts out a total of 510 horsepower and 461 lb feet of torque. This car handles extremely well on the open road and is quite agile, while acceleration is immensely powerful due to the substantial amount of power. The base model receives approximately 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the freeway.

2011 Jaguar XF Black Pack Luxury Sedan

Speaking of room, the Jaguar XF has just enough of it. In fact, a six-foot person sitting in the back will actually have a lot of head room left between his or head and the ceiling. Foot room is quite spacious but the 500-liter trunk space is a lot more generous and the back seats also fold for additional space.

2011 The Jaguar XF Car Lease Specials

The British brand Jaguar is synonymous with luxury and refined style but it has been primarily been popular with more established and older consumers due to its classic and subdued styling. Jaguar boldly moves into the next millennium with a contemporary and ultra modern vehicle; the sporty 2010 Jaguar XF. This auto first burst into the automotive scene in 2010 so it's definitely a newcomer to the luxury market. Its appearance is daring, modern and entirely different from any Jaguar produced in the past. This car has a sporty bold look; it's aggressive and modern looking with lines that are usually found on a sports coupe. The vehicle's stunning body is perfectly accentuated by beautiful eighteen inch wheels and an automatic sunroof allowing you to enjoy the warm breeze as you cruise down the street in glamorous style.

2011 Jaguar XF Black Pack Front Angle View

Expect the Jaguar XF to "hit the shelves" on March 1 2008. It will come in two whopping 4.2 liter V8 models, one with a supercharger and one without. There will also be a 3.0 liter V6 for the slightly less adventurous and a 2.7 liter V6 turbo diesel for the gas-consumption conscious. This is the definitely the cat to beat as soon as it hits the market and at over $60,000, this price range is only rivaled by Germany's BMW 550i M Sport. It all depends in what class you choose to belong to when it comes to shopping for the top car leasing specials.

2011 The New Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla is a terrific vehicle, but like any automobile, it can run into serious problems. Just one major problem with your Corolla may cost you thousands of dollars to repair if Toyota's manufacturer's warranty is not there to protect you. If you drive a Toyota Corolla, you should seriously consider getting a Toyota Extended Warranty to cover your vehicle.

2011 Toyota Corolla Front View

What stands out foremost about the Corolla is its price, which is accessible to most individuals plus the solid dependability factor. Buying a vehicle that needs to be repaired frequently isn't acceptable to most consumers and buyers want to get the most value out of their hard earned dollar. If you want a practical vehicle that you can depend on then the Corolla would be perfect. Priced at around fifteen thousand dollars for the base model, the 2010 Corolla is a car that offers a lot at a low price.

2012 Saab 9-4X Sporty CarsSaab is on the eve of getting several new vehicles including the 2012 Saab 9-4X

Saab's fortunes began to decline when GM began to pour more money into Hummer and several overseas operations while neglecting the Saab product line. Adding insult to injury, GM developed an SUV model for Saab, the 9-7X, a vehicle based on the unpopular platform of GM's mid-range SUVs. That move further sullied Saab's image, resulting in sales declining sharply and damaging the brand.

Today, Saab is on the eve of getting several new vehicles including the 9-4X crossover to replace the forgettable 9-7X and will soon see its flagship 9-5 line overhauled. The 9-4X will be built by GM who will continue to supply parts, engines and transmissions for the foreseeable future as many Saab models share components with other GM vehicles. Indeed, the Saab 9-4X is based on the same platform powering the all new 2010 Cadillac SRX.

Suzuki-Solio Launches New 2011

From this Sunday, I am starting a series of weekly specials. These will be insider news about future company model programs, happenings, stuff that you will not have read in any of the enthusiast magazines and stuff that when they publish is accompanied by 'SCOOP' in caps and bold. As none of the media outlets have any use for my rantings, as accurate as they may be, I will use my blog as an outlet.

Suzuki-Solio Launches New 2011

Interior and Exterior: 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman is armored

The main difference between the 2010 and 2009 Clubman is how the engine gets oxygen. The 2009 model has variable valve timing, or VVT engine and not turbocharged. The engine is still an I4 with 1.6 liters and a fully electric throttle. The VVT engine, however means that the oxygen is less compressed before it reaches the combustion chamber. This cuts down on this small car's "vroom" factor and lowers the reported gas mileage for city driving. The 2009 is rated to get 25 miles per gallon in the city.

Interior and Exterior:

One of the main advantages of Cooper Clubman over regular Mini is its rear seat legroom. Cooper Clubman's rear seat access doors are much easier to reach due to its position. Interior of this sedan is particularly larger for average adults. Luggage compartment of this car is quiet good and 50 percent larger than regular Mini car. However luggage space can be increased by folding rear seat. Like regular Mini car even Cooper Clubman is offered with retro inspired controls and oddly placed stereo control knobs have been rectified which presents attractive looks and easier operation. Some of the convenience features offered with this model are front console with storage compartment, rear and front cup holders. Manual rear seat easy entry, front seat back storage, electric speed proportion power steering and remote trunk release. Interior options available with 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman are cargo net, MINI connected navigation system, color rooster red interior trim, carbon black interior shade, Gravity leather, Punch leather, Lounge Leather and central arm rest.

Music Highlight: deadmau5

Joel Zimmerman [aka deadmau5] is quite possibly now my favorite Canadian musician [tied between him and MSTRKRFT but i'll give deadmau5 the advantage due to the cool mask/helmet]

Like most people, the first song I heard was Ghosts N' Stuff and up to this day, was the only song I really enjoyed from his first two albums [For Lack of a Better Name & Random Album Title] there are other albums but I really haven't gotten around to listening, primarily because I'm hung up on his most recent one 4x4=12

no better way to describe an artist than for you to listen to him yourself

personal favorites from the album 4x4=12

Some Chords

Bad Selection

Animal Rights [this song is good but the good part starts really late]

Cthulhu Sleeps [btw his live performances are kinda awesome]

despite this listing I suggest you look up for more songs [especially from the other 2 albums cause they're still good]

2010 F1 awards w00t! by crossdrilled

First a summary of the 2010 season

Best Overtake: Kamui Kobayashi @ Suzuka Circuit's Hairpin [Japanese Grand Prix]

Rumor has it that in effect for the 2011 season Kamui Kobayashi is limited to four ambitious overtaking moves per season. This race [as well as others] is the primary reason for this "suggested" rule change. In this race Kamui performed 5 overtakes in one corner. Overall Kamui jumped from 14th to 7th which is amazing considering how horrible his car is. Also add in the mix that he did all of this in front of his Japanese home crowd adds to the wonder of these overtakes.

Crash of the year: Mark Webber @ Valencia [European Grand Prix]

How could any other crash beat this head over heels rear end collision between Mark Webber's Red Bull and Heikki Kovalainnen's Lotus. Keep in mind, Webber walked away from the wreckage with no injuries.

Golden Cock: Michael Schumacher @ Hungaroring [Hungarian GP]

The biggest news of this season was the return of 7 time F1 champ Michael Schumacher and as expected Schumacher went back to his days of treating his former teammate, Rubens Barichello, like a bitch. In this video it shows just how close [and how fast] Schumacher was to squeezing the life out of Rubens. [I should probably rename this the Michael Schumacher prize]

Rivalry of the Year: Vettel vs Webber

When teams are performing well and have drivers performing just as well, it should be no surprise that both drivers would want to duke it out for the top spot. Just like Prost vs Senna and Alonso vs Hamilton when they were all at McLaren, the top tier team at the time, tension between them for the title called for some risky moves, this year was no different. The first hint of tension was after the Turkish Gran Prix were Vettel's overtake on Webber for first nearly knocked both out of the race. Webber dropped down to 3rd given McLaren a 1-2 finish while Vettel stalled his car and couldn't go any further. Everything seemed calm again until the British GP where after Webber's crash at Valencia, Webber was given the spare car while Vettel continued with his original car... the story continues in this video here. [pay attention to Webber's expressions] after this though it calmed as Webber won the race and went on to lead for most of the season. It wasn't until Abu Dhabi at the end of the season was their relationship discussed again, this time to benefit Webber. After dominating the last set of races for the season as well as Abu Dhabi qualifying, it looked as if Vettel was in a prime spot to win the race. Of course him winning the championship was unlikely as Alonso needed to place 5th but he qualified 3rd. Eventually team orders were not needed [and Red Bull already said they weren't gonna use them] as pitstop strategy mixed with a pesky little Russian in a Renault prevented Alonso from passing 7th giving Vettel the win and the world championship.

Catastrophic Failures: Sebastian Beumi @ Chinese GP Practice

I thought it was epic when Raikonnen's entire spoiler separated from his car, but for your two front wheels to detach simultaneously under braking, that is truly epic.

Moment of the Year: Heikki Kovalainnen @ Singapore GP [last lap]

Normally when a driver is involved in an accident, they get out of the car, check if their in one piece, then leave the track marshall's to take care of the rest. Heikki [aka the iceman, seeing that Kimi is no longer in F1] pretty much extinguishes the fire of his own car as it spontaneously combusts on the last lap. His efforts in keeping the fire out of the pitlane [where all the fuel pumps are] should also be applauded as he stayed in the car until he was in a safe spot, despite the raging flames going on behind him.

Lolz moment: Pharell vs the Lotus T127's engine @ Brazilian GP

Before performing for F1 Rocks in Brazil, Pharrell decided to visit some of the teams during the practice sessions. Most of his time was spent around the Lotus pits who showed him around [seeing that they are one of the more open teams on the grid] the result can be seen here [fast forward to 5:03]

Race of the Year: Korean Grand Prix [aka the mud race aka the race of the safety car]

The Korean GP was the newest race on the calendar, so new in fact that the pavement was still fresh. This freshness made the track super slippery and few cars could manage to find enough grip to stay on the track much less race on it. By the time race day came along, rain prevented the race from beginning under normal conditions as the track was like ice. This video pretty much sums up the entire race [btw this is the first time I stayed up late to watch an Asian race, never again] The result of both Red Bull's crashing put Fernando Alonso at a HUGE advantage towards the driver's championship and with 3 races to go, it looked like he would eventually take it.

Rookie of the Year: Kamui Kobayashi

Kamui Kobayashi, evidently one of the most talented drivers on the grid especially seeing how good he can be with a bad car. Of the 19 races of the season, the car failed Kamui 8 times and for the other 11 times where the car was working, he finished in the top ten 9 times. This display ensured he finished the highest among the rookies [although he entered F1 in 2009 for 2 races, 2010 is his first complete season.] In terms of rookies that started completely new for 2010, my choice would be Nico Hulkenberg especially after scoring his maiden pole position.

Driver of the Year: Fernando Alonso

Call him whatever you want, a cheater, a sly devil or a con artist despite his tainted record, it is no denying that his previous two championships were not a fluke. He is nearly impossible to overtake yet he doesn't block too much, he is plainly fast and has attributed his success to keeping calm and carrying on which has caused him to benefit greatly during the failures of Red Bull. Despite winning the first race of the season, no one expected him to lead frog so far and so fast especially so near to the end of the season. As much as I am a Vettel fan, Alonso is worthy of winning the award of driver of the year, however, I'm not jumping on his bandwagon again [yes I was an Alonso fan during 05-06 but that was it] especially after this.

And that's it, I ensured to ignore the come back of the year [which was performed by Vettel] as I've spoken quite a bit too much about him already.
