Good morning everybody! It is a COLD ASS FRIDAY here in the CSP and I must say….it aint so bad. Because the Aqua Teens are gonna make the fellas say ‘ho’ and the ladies wanna scream! Got my tickets and it is time to throw down! Man, this movie better be good with as many times as they have pushed this bad boy back.
So I have a bone to pick with MySpace. Now I really only have MySpace up to supplement my Blogger site (which gets a lot more traffic), piss off Rick with American Idol updates because I know how much he LOVES that show and of course fill out surveys because I am ‘teh lame’. With all that being said, I am having a real big problem with MySpace right now.
When Yahoo became the largest provider of email accounts (I think it was 2003) what was the first thing they did? They beefed up their servers and security. They knew they were going to get a lot more subscribers and there is nothing people hate more than spam. Google is constantly updating their hardware and software for better ways to block out emails for erectile dysfunction and reconsolidated home loans. If I want to reconsolidate my home loan, I will fucking find YOU. Same with AOL, and as a service provider to boot although most of the spam comes from THEM, the probably have the most efficient spam blocker out there. So with that being said, I have a number for you:
108. One hundred and eight.
That is how many friend requests I have gotten this week. At first I was like ‘Holy shit, I’m popular!’ Then I realized that no one wants to be my friend and I looked and said “Hey, I don’t know ‘Get A Free iPod!’ or ‘Check Out My Hot Web Cam!’ at all!” Let’s face it, ‘xxxCutiepie69’ and ‘gimmeanipod1’ are not real people. They are fucking bots. If you don’t know what a ‘bot’ is, it is a fake account that is used for the purpose of annoying the shit out of you. They are why Ticketmaster and forums have that ‘insert the code’ screen so someone actually has to create the account rather than just running a script that can just create hundreds of fake accounts. It is obvious that MySpace either hasn’t figured that out or that Tom is no better at being the administrator as The Dougler was at being the RA on ‘Undergrads’.
I can forgive the fact that every five minutes an ‘unexpected error’ is reported to some fucktard that fixes it only to have another ‘unexpected error’ pop up. I cannot accept total and complete ineptitude. The fix has been done by other online communities (with fewer members and less safeguards i.e. Friendster) and I see no reason why you guys cant put two and two together. I know that it’s easy to say ‘well don’t use MySpace’ but lets face it. That is shitty customer service. Yes, we are your customers because creating your community gets you sponsorships from movies, TV shows and sponsors. If you DON’T fix if, people will go to another online community. See what happened to AOL? They refused to embrace broadband and fell behind the curve. You aren’t Microsoft; you don’t have a lockdown on this market. It is a simple fix that would actually create a better service and alleviate a lot of tech support problems I am sure you are getting due to these fucksticks locking up your servers with their crap. As Teq would say ‘FIX IT!’ It would make things a lot easier on yourselves and your users. Just a thought.
That had been bugging me for a while. I know the Blogger peeps don’t know what I am talking about (odds are you use MySpace, though) but I have to be all encompassing. The Passion of Chachi is for the people. All the people no matter what race, gender, religion or online community they use. Except Facebook.
Before I go, it is time for my blatant Bleach plug! Here is the NEW BADASS OPENING THEME, Alones by Aqua Timez:
In my total nerddom, I was having a discussion with the comic book store guys (yes, I am friends with the comic book store guys. Shut up, they’re cool!) about Bleach on Wednesday and pretty much killed my lunch hour talking about the current Bleach manga and the Hueco Mundo Arc. I also got a sweet ass wall scroll with Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, Ishida and THE KON. And I got the angry Kon plushie! It won’t bring the girls to the yard, but it is cool to me and that’s what matters.
Anyway, after discussing the new arc at the comic book store and hearing the lyrics of the song, it fits so well. More so than the other openings (aside from D-Technolife and the first half of the Soul Society Arc) considering what happens and the emotions that come to the forefront (I won’t ruin, but lets just say that Orihime becomes a lot stronger in herself and her feelings) this is the best song to choose. The lyrics fit:
Even if you won’t talk about yesterday,
I’ll still be there to meet you tomorrow.
This one will make sense as the arc goes on. It is going to be good stuff. Well, I will try to be back tomorrow for a review of ATHFCMFFT. Stay warm and stay up, peeps. One last thing from Aqua Timez…
You don’t have to force your smiles for anyone,
It’s okay to smile…for yourself.
Chachi Out.
Friday, April 13, 2007
So...K-Fed Isn't Anna Nicole's Babydaddy? I'm Out of $5...
What’s up ya’ll! It’s a COLD ASS FRIDAY in the CSP but that’s okay! Because Aqua Teen is gonna rock my face tonight and it is time for the….
Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown!!
It is kind of chilly so I am going to get straight to the party!
20. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder (New Entry)
We begin this week with an interesting debut. Now it is no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with Maroon 5. I loved ‘Sunday Morning’ and ‘Harder To Breathe’ but hated….everything else. This video reminds me of a cleaned up Duran Duran video, and we all know Duran Duran RULES YOUR FACE. This is their first video on here, lets see how they do!
19. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #15)
Evanesence officially has a new video out for Sweet Sacrifice and it actually kicks more ass that Lithium! Meanwhile, this video looks to be on its way out after peaking a few weeks back at number two. Here is to seeing Sweet Sacrifice soon!
18. nobodyknows+ - Hero’s Come Back! (New Entry)
No you knew as soon as this song had a video it was going to be on this Countdown. The opening for Naruto: Shippuuden makes its debut after a long wait! This song is now the ring tone for Nolan and was the theme on my MySpace for a minute. I just got the nobodyknows+ discography and it is good stuff. Not only that, the video is actually kind of cool to boot. Everybody stand up!
17. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #14, #1 for three weeks)
Aw, man I’m crying! This video looks to be on its way out after a lengthy stay at number one last month. Even though she has a new video I still really dig this one. The song is quite nice too.
16. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (Last Week #18)
Speaking of Namie, here she is again! This video in song is nowhere near as awesome as Baby Don’t Cry but it is good on its own level. Like Namie in a skirt with boots on. Hells yeah. Although I am not digging the small hat thing going on. Reminds me of Men on Film on ‘In Living Color’. Hated it!
15. Rascal Flats – Stand (Last Week #19)
So The Gang makes a pretty big leap this week, up four spots to #15. I really cant say I like country (because for the most part I don’t) but unlike other people I cant hate a whole genre because the majority of it I don’t like. I like the Flatts as well as The Wreckers. Let’s just hope we don’t hear this song in commercials for Huggies or Bayer. That would piss me off.
14. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #9, Plunge of the Week)
I am sad. Hinoi Team falls out of the Top Ten this week! I still like this video, but it is about time for something new from my favorite Para Para-ing teens. Is that even a word? Eh, it is now.
13. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #16)
Kumi Koda has got up and moved up this week. She has no less than four videos out (thanks to Roxanne for posting the majority of them!) but this is my favorite of the bunch. What can I say, I am a sucker for a dancing Kumi Koda.
12. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #12)
Okay, I think the video with Monkey Majik featuring Seamo has grown on me a little too much because now I like it a little more than this one. The guys and M-Flo stand pat at #12 for the second week and may have stalled out on the play list. Still is my jam on the road, though!
11. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #13)
One step away from the Top Ten and K-OS makes his home here! Pretty good for a first time out, I must say. I finally got a good copy of this video, too. It is good stuff. Also, got his older stuff that I had from back in the day. The guy is one of the better hip-hop artists out right now. Well, anything is better than Akon so he doesn’t have to do much. Well, onto the Top 10!
10. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #8)
Okay, this is the ‘Seamo Is Growing On Me Part II’ factor. Anyone that knows me knows that Seamo has been on my shitlist since he yelled out ‘CRUNK!’ in the Bennie K song ‘A Love Story’. Well, it has come full circle. Seamo is in the new HMK video for ‘Fantastic 3’ and I must say…it is fantastic. Seamo and Co. rock the box and the video may be on here soon. Because of that, this video falls two spots.
9. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #11)
Mmm…Yuna Ito. She makes life okay to live, I tell you what. Still getting episodes of Unfair so I can do a review on whether it is worth the watch. This video is I can say that much for sure.
8. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #5)
Well, The Game falls three spots this week and will odds are not be able to take the #1 spot on his third attempt. It’s a shame because this video is actually alright but I would prefer something new now. Especially since he seems to think that beefing with Fiddy is okay now. Here is a famous line: Fuck Fiddy. Who said it? The Chachi.
7. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #10)
TDG moves up three more places this week! This song is a tad bit too sad sometimes but the video is very bad ass. Also its nice to see some rock in the rotation to break things up a bit.
6. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #7)
Yes, Avril Lavinge is a stones throw away from the Top Five. I LIKE this song and this video is hot. I always thought she had a hot Sarah Michelle Gellar thing going on (I really get freaked out by her nose…just creepy) and as she has gotten older it has gotten better. Oh, and she does ‘The Clock’ too. I so made that up in 2001 at Graham Central Station! Ask Griff! Eh, we have made it into the Top 5…
5. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #6)
Well look who’s back? UVERworld makes their FOURTH Top Five appearance as they attempt to get their fourth Number One video! Another video that is brilliant in its simplicity, UVERworld never really does the ‘epic video’ thing. Just them rocking out. I must say, it works.
4. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #2)
Uh oh. Looks like Yuki and Cico need a new video FAST. After making it to the runner up spot, Bennie K is beginning a slow fall two spots and out of the Top Three. I swear if anyone needs a new album aside from Common and the Spin Doctors, it is Bennie K. Gimme my fix! Now, for the three biggest videos in the land!
3. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #4)
Hells yes. So time for the mandatory Bleach update. IT IS KICKING ASS! Ichigo just got his ass WHOOPED ON by Grimmjaw! Hitsugaya once again proved he is a bad ass 8th grader! Aqua Timez proves once again that they sound like Orange Range with one lead singer! Oh, and Kon should start his own band. I call roadie! Oh, and Yui moves into the Top Three once again. Oh man. Once again it is a showdown between John Legend and Chris Daughtry. Who wins?
2. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #3, two weeks at #1)
Daughtry pulls an UVERworld and moves back to the runner-up position after dropping the crown! He is looking to grab #1 again, I bet! Oh, in an American Idol update (since Rick don’t like the bulletins on MySpace, which I better respect if I ever want my pants back) it looks like America sent Haley home. Yes, she was all vamped up but she sang better than Blake (who I WANT TO DIE) and Phil (who just picked a song that wasn’t right for him. ‘Escape’ by Enrique Iglasias would have been bad ass) and even Sanjaya who avoided me mailing the mountain lion I reserved for Omarion and Bi. Well, we all know democracy doesn’t work so I’m cool with it. Here is to Blake finally getting the FUCKING BOOT. Well, off to Number One…
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #1, three weeks at #1)
…and the Champ is still here! Fuck John Cena. John Legend spends his third straight week at the top! I will admit, at first I didn’t like this video (seemed kind of boring) but after some watches it really fits the song, more so than the last two (Save Room & Heaven). Have to say, it is my favorite right now.
Well, once again that is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if John Legend can become the longest regining #1 of 2007 and hold on for a full month! Or will Daughtry take the throne for a second time? Can Yui put a second straight video at Number One? Check back in one week to find out! Stay up, peeps!
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters is out tonight! Barring a shutdown of the theater I will so be there! It will kick more ass than Bryan Adams at The Meadowlands in 85! Unless shit hits the fan, I will have a review on Friday...the 13th? Oh shit, I totally missed that fact. Anyway...
Chachi Out.

Old White Guys Making Poor Jokes. It's CRAP-TASTIC!
Okay, it is SO time for a mini-rant. Now I actually typed this last week when I first heard this in about 10 minutes (I type fast when I am pissed). After calming down and listening to the commentary over the last week or so, I revisited and re-worked this rant to add more parts to it and redo some of my initial feelings about the situation.
First off let me say I sparingly watched Don Imus over my lifetime. I watched when I was unemployed (came on the same time as ‘Mike and Mike in the Mornings on ESPN Radio) and listened a little bit because a friend of mine listened to him and Howard Stern when I was at Denver Tech. So I am not an expert on him, but I knows funny. Now over the past year of having a blog I have said jokes about many things can be funny when timed right, albeit offensive:
Blacks
Whites
Rape (Come on! A little surprise sex never hurt anyone! Okay maybe it has…)
Irish
Jews (Oy vey! In their defense, they have the most BAD ASS jump out process EVER. Remember Jesus? Oh, snap! You don’t leave the Jews, the Jews leave you)
Muslims (Yeah, I put them right next to each other. They both need to shut the hell up and be friends)
Christians (At least Jews and Muslims don’t have ‘Christian Rock’. That alone makes you the shittiest religion; I don’t care how many of you there are. Leave the rock to Foreigner!)
Midgets
Asians (Except for Cambodians. AK-47’s for all!)
Homosexuals
Fat People
Indians (Red dot, feather and Pacer fans. Oh, Indiana isn’t the home of Indians? Well then why in the fuck did they call it that?!)
Skinny People
Special People
Ugly People (Yeah, I know I am one two. Its called self-depreciating humor)
Abuse (Physical & Verbal. Come on, you know Ike Turner is funny!)
Sex with pets (Except house pets. They are so small! Now lions and tigers? Funny as hell because if you get some of that you EARNED it)
Sex with minors (Peeing on…not so funny)
Southerners
Scientologists
Drug Addicts
Turks (IT IS CONSTANTINOPLE!!)
Catholics (Can I get a robble robble from Zach?!)
Atheists (Or Nihilists. Whichever, doesn’t matter. None of this matters)
Mel Gibson
Women (Who I am slowly beginning to soften my stance on. They smell and feel nice…)
Men/Masculinity (Shut up. Being a man isn’t farting, fighting and liking big tits. That just puts you two steps above a monkey. Wow….I just proved evolution)
Femininity
Alcoholics
Feminist (Get a grip. And that is not a sexual reference, that means literally get a grip on reality)
Necrophelia (Not really, I just tossed that in to see if you were reading)
Hindus (Seven arms and Vishnu STILL can’t throw a decent breaking slider. He will SO be in the minors until he gets a third go-to pitch)
Anorexics
Skips, Skops, Hustlers, Tramps, Ruffians, Ne’r Do Wells, Hooligans and Scallywags (I kind of just wanted to say ‘scallywags’)
…and um…I think that’s all I have covered. Wow, that’s why no one came to my birthday party. My dicketry knows no bounds. Even still, these things CAN be funny. They just AREN’T ALWAYS FUNNY. It can be the delivery. It can be the timing. Mainly, the issue is intent. Aside from Catholics, Turks and midgets most of the scathing remarks I make are in social commentary. I will say when I am saying something to be offensive. And if I don’t say, trust me you know. Those that don’t (and there were some people who didn’t. Wont name names but she’s a dumbass regardless) usually don’t get me or get IT, which is fine. Even still, I also watch my words and wont same something for the sake of being offensive or hurtful unless it is deserved. R.Kelly I am talking to you. However, I was completely pissed off by the Don Imus segment on the Rutgers women’s basketball team being ‘nappy headed hos’ and being compared to ‘jiggaboos’
By his co-host guy. Wow…where do I start?
First off, Don Imus isn’t funny. As one of the three people in America that watches MSNBC or CARES about it I had the unfortunate privilege of hearing about this almost as it happened. First off, this isn’t only a race issue. This isn’t only a woman issue. This isn’t even only a Black woman issue. This is an issue about image. Another part that gets avoid and glossed over is that they were comparing the Rutgers women (with I think 8 black players out of 12. Someone correct me if I am wrong) with the players from Tennessee, who were all for the most part either white, light-skinned or attractive. The Rutgers players were even compared to the TORONTO RAPTORS who have a damn near all Black roster and much like any other NBA team, has players that carries a look of those we see in rap videos. Sad but true. It isn’t the Tennessee players fault. I mean I likes me some Candace Parker. Hells yeah. But that doesn’t justify Don’s comments because there is more to what he said than what ESPN (who is LOVING this right now as the game was shown ON ESPN) shows.
I ranted about two months ago about beauty and people being shallow. This peeps is the ultimate in shallow. I will admit I bash the HELL out of the WNBA (mainly because it is boring to me) but I have always watched almost all college athletics, men’s and women’s. I watch women’s basketball every once in a while and shockingly I never really once looked at a team and said ‘Man, them girls look rough’. The fact Don Imus said that for ‘humor’ shows me some things about what he perceives his audience thinks is funny:
Female + Nappy heads + Tattoos (which I didn’t see on any) + Black = Ho’s
That math makes sense? Like fuck it does. Now Black women and I have had our problems. Many of them. At the same time, nothing that the Rutgers team did is in line with the definition of a ‘ho’ or whore if you will. Paris Hilton? Whore, and it is documented and she is taking Valtrex for it. Essence Carson and the Rutgers women’s basketball team? Unless they are turning tricks for tuition (which is unlikely because I am guessing they are scholarship athletes) then NO THEY ARE NOT HO’S. As for being nappy-headed, what the fuck does that have to do with anything about the game? Not a GOD DAMN THING. It is an unfair statement and it is racist, sexist and takes away from a great accomplishment by the Don Imus saying that not only did they lose, they are ugly and they give it up easily. Now I don’t honestly believe that Don Imus should be fired. Not for this, but for a long line of dumb ass, thoughtless and offensive shit said to shock people. It is long overdue and he really can’t be bringing in THAT MANY LISTENERS to justify keeping someone on the radio. At least Howard Stern has one funny joke a year. Sometimes two. The fact is that Black or White, you say something that stupid you should be held accountable.
However, something is confusing me. Why would people defend what Don Imus said? Now I will defend anyone right to say something at all times. He has the right to say anything he would like. He has the freedom of speech, but you also have the right of accountability. You can say whatever you like, but there will be an equal reaction. In this case, he shouldn’t be fired for what he said he should be fired for the reaction it got. You have the right to bear arms, but there are consequences for using it at the wrong time or illegally. You have the freedom to assemble, but you can be punished by the results or actions of or in that assembly. Uncle Ben said it, now I am saying it once-a-fucking-gain for those that don’t listen:
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
You have great power with words. Words can be more effective than any weapon known to man. Once again, with the usage of any weapon there are repercussions to using it incorrectly and at the wrong time. Don used the words incorrectly to unfairly and offensively refer to a group of women that were NONE OF THOSE WORDS and at the wrong time after the Mel Gibson, Isaiah Washington, Hillary Clinton and Michael Richards flaps over the last few months. Those combined should have him in the unemployment line. Like I said, I can’t say firing is the answer because it doesn’t take back what he said and it really doesn’t change the hurt of the words.
However, by not firing him MSNBC sends the message that it is okay to be an idiot as long as you are sorry. You know what? He isn’t sorry. He feels bad the people are upset at him. He feels bad because he tried to be funny and bombed. Hell, he feels bad that sponsorships are being lost because of his words. For a first time offense it’s cool but he has made off-color to downright offensive jokes (check out some of his comments about Jews. Now I am one to talk, but still I’m not on the radio) about everything I mentioned earlier. He is trying to get rating by being provocative and offensive which is fine but this is what happens when you say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I know you will say that ‘You say racist and offensive things all the time!’ To that I say first off EAT IT. Once again, I’m not nationally syndicated and broadcast by a major news company, although I’m not sure if you can call MSNBC major. Secondly, offensive jokes aren’t all that is in my arsenal. That is all Don Imus does; he is a shock jock and his job is to shock you. Congrats you did your job, Don. You shocked America in to realizing that racism and sexism, no matter WHO it comes from is STILL racism and sexism.
Oh, and one last thing. As Americans one thing we LOVE to do is point the finger at the victim or find someone else to blame. For those of you that justify his comments with “Black men call black women ho’s all the time in rap music!” just remember first off that 95% of rap sucks. Second off, white people sign these assholes and get the majority of the money from its profit so what is the point? It is still indirect racism at the end of the day seeing as how most of the music and dancing is about chains, whips and shucking/jiving. Third off, white men call white women slut and whore (because white people SAY THE WHOLE WORD JUST LIKE THIS. Ah, Boondocks) just as much (Frat boy movies anyone? Women in the American Pie and Van Wilder movies all had such pivotal roles. Oh, and lest we forget that the devil before rap was glam/cock rock) and as for the music…yeah, Eminem killing and raping his mom is SO not worse than calling a woman a ‘ho’ to rhyme with ‘flow’. God I hate rap.
Oh yeah, quit blaming Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for the blowup of this situation. It is all the media’s fault anyway. First off, there are only two people that listen to Al and Jesse:
Old Ass Black People (Who seem to forget that it is 2007 and racism is still here but it aint the same. No need to march, niggas just need to read books and stop buying chains.)
Stupid Ass White People (Which seems to be ALL OF YOU! I mean you all know racism exists but if you aren’t part of the problem shut the fuck up!)
The fact is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can suck my black balls for all I care. Yes they were around when MLK Jr. got shot but you know, so the fuck what? I was watching TV when Biggie and 2Pac got shot but you don’t see me as the mouthpiece of the Black community. You know I would get us fixed up in three months. Then I would pull a Larry Brown and fix up the Asian community. God, please let someone get that joke. The fact is they talk because White people listen. I sure as hell aint and neither are the Black people I know. So White people need to just not listen to him. Ask some other Black people. Hell, ask Ja Rule for all I care but they get press time because the media GIVES THEM PRESS TIME. They are like the god damn Hulk, the more attention you give them the stronger they get just like The Hulk and anger! IGNORE THEM! Like Token said ‘Jesse Jackson isn’t the President of Black People!’ He and Al Sharpton ain’t even the Inspector Gadget and Penny of Black people! If they say you are racist for not listening to them, direct them to me. Seriously.
In closing Don Imus, as much of a fucktard as he is, didn’t owe Blacks an apology as much as he doesn’t owe women an apology. He owes an apology to those ladies that played their ass off against a kick-ass Tennessee team. The he should apologize to America for being unfunny to appeal to a demographic of intolerant people. I take myself to task everyday for the jokes I say and whether they hurt people. Is firing him for what he said about the basketball team the answer? No. Should he resign? Personally, I don’t think so.
WHAT?! After this long ass rant I say that he shouldn’t be fired and he shouldn’t resign?! No. Quite simply…comedy is hit or miss. We all have jokes that have bombed out in a major way. I honestly believe that a joke like that could never have been funny especially because he was directing the joke at undeserving players. I don’t believe Don Imus is funny. Never have, odds are never will. I believe in his right to say this and you know what? I even believe him when he says he isn’t a racist. A racist believes they are better than someone due to their race and I don’t believe he is better than those players. I do believe that he made a offensive statement (just because they had ‘nappy hair’ and tattoos they were ho’s) about them for the purpose of humor. Which I have done calling 50 Cent “King Kong’ and T-Pain a ‘predalope’. Funny? I think so, but not really.
The simple fact is if I made that comment at my job I would be fired. If Rick said that job at his job, he would be fired. If Griff made that at his job…you get the idea. Don Imus works for NBC Radio. I’m sure they have rules about diversity and on the job conversation. If this falls in line with this, he should be fired. If not, he stays. Tough shit, America. He still aint all that funny.
And that is my rant. It had been pissing me off for a minute and I had to get that out. Oy…that was LONG. My longest rant yet. It was actually three rants in one (Don Imus, The Racetastic Duo and What is Funny Reloaded) so it was a triple treat for the peeps. I will be back on Thursday (maybe) and Friday for the Top 20 Video Countdown. Until then, stay up peeps.

304th Post Fool! What!
Good morning peeps! It is a lovely…cold Monday here in the CSP and as usual, I gotta pay the bills if you get my drift. Anyway, what is up? Did everyone enjoy Easter Weekend? Did you have EGG HUNT PARTAY?! I know I didn’t. Too damn cold for that shit.
So first off I want to thank you guys. For not seeing Grindhouse. The Tarentino/Rodriguez mindrape of a horror film finished behind Ice Cube’s Are We There Yet (a lesser of two evils, I guess) and I could not be happier. If there was EVER a man living off the popularity of old work more than Diddy, it’s Quentin. No, I didn’t fill the cup over Kill Bill 1&2 (they were okay but I didn’t need to change my pants out of pleasure like I had to do for 300) and Jackie Brown can KISS MY ASS (white people can say nigger, Quentin Tarentino cannot. New rule, he’s a prick and a racist). Aside from Pulp Fiction (which is an acquired taste I admit, but me likee) and Reservoir Dogs (which kicks ass on the Steve Buchemi factor alone), his whole fucking catalog of movies sucks ass. And don’t say From Dusk Til Dawn because that had George Clooney in it and that smug asshole cannot act. I don’t care what anyone says; he can eat a dick and die as far as I’m concerned. Yes, I know Salma Hayek strips because it’s the only part I remember not sucking.
As for Robert Rodriguez, he is living off of Frank Miller right now because of Sin City. Now of all films out there, Sin City is the most acquired taste of all. People either hated it or loved it (I for one dug it because it was relatively close to the graphic novel) and that is to be expected with comic book movies. Think about it; what had he done before? El Mariachi. Okay, that rocked. But dude, SPY KIDS?! The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl?! Yeah, cinematic genius right there, fucktard. Seriously, the work Zach and I did on Pirates vs. Ninjas was better than that. And we used Legos! Which despite their awesomeness, are unionized now which makes working with them kind of a hassle.
Quite simply, Quentin Tarentino makes movies for the same music R.Kelly pees on minors: he can get away with it because of previous work. R.Kelly has I Believe I Can Fly and Quentin has Pulp Fiction. Well let me tell you something Quentin. Steven Spielberg EARNED the right to make an A.I. and a Minority Report (both of which sucked). You know why? He gave us Goonies, Gremlins, Back To The Future, The Color Purple and Animaniacs. He earned a brainfart every now and then. You on the other hand have earned jackshit. I would rather sit through the Passion of Christ with members of Focus on the Family than watch another one of your movies. You suck. As for Robert…way to cheat on your wife of five kids. You disgust me. True or not, you still suck. People, don’t see Grindhouse. This isn’t normal math: two negatives don’t make a positive this time. AVOID!
Now, for some bad news. The weather report is saying there will be another cold front in on Friday. I am NOT MISSING ATHFCMFFT! You hear me Mother Nature?! I will go Kratos on your ass if you made it impossible for me to see this movie! I WILL ROCK YOUR FACE! Yes…we are bored. Man, I cannot WAIT to see this movie. It is going to be the polar opposite of Grindhouse: ‘Teh Awesome’.
Well, that is all for now. I will try to be back later on this week (Wednesday or Thursday) before the Countdown on Friday. Before I leave you, I just have one thing to say: Morning Musume. When did they get all hot on me?
Man, I used to listen to them all the time. Then Maki Goto went all Kumi Koda on me (which has its’ pros and cons because I would take her out for brunch) so I stopped listening to j-pop and got back in to hip hop for a while. Not one of my wiser decisions. Even still….damn. They’s HAWT. Until next time, stay up peeps.

Yeah, I'm A Tad Bit Cold.
Okay, I learned...very little this weekend. However, some good lessons came out of Easter Weekend:
1) People in Colorado cannot drive on ice. I mean, I'm not Toad or Mario but I can manage to not flip my car over by going 65 on ice. Oh, and when a car is on its side, do NOT ask 'Is everything okay?' Of course everything is okay, fucktard. Cars are always on their sides in 24 degree weather. Dont spawn, dumbass.
2) Da Ali G Show kicked ass. Here is hoping for a Bruno movie!
3) Mother nature is a biggity-bitch. I am sick of the snow and cold in the damn Springtime. Albeit it may not officially be spring, it is fucking Easter. Guess this means Jesus was crucifed in a blizzard. Would make for a lot better story, I must say.
4) God of War II shoud be the new bible. Kratos is bigger and better than Jesus. Lets see Jesus take down the Kraken (or Robert Parish in the paint. Same thing except the Kraken has a bit of an outside jumper) or a Cerebus.
5) Speaking of God of War II...BOOBIES!!! Who needs a woman when the Sisters of Fate decide a full shirt and bras are optional? AND you get to stab then in the face when you are done! Two birds, one blade. Yeah, I have issues.
6) Ninjas + Vampires = ...I dont know. It may be too awesome for the human brain to combine. Nothing really to that, I just think ninja vampires would be really fucking cool.
7) Gummi Bears Seasons 1-3 for 23 dollars is the greastest deal since the Herchel Walker trade. Since odds are only Rick and Griff (and maybe Zach) remember that trade that joke has no frame of refence but it makes sense. Gummi berry juice, fools! The original alcohol!
8) Akon is no Keith Sweat. As much as I despise Keith Sweat (oh, and I DO) he is ten times better than Akon. There you telling me no, again! Ah...story of my life.
9) Chocolate covered Nutter Butters. What kind of fat bastard must you be to say 'How could I make this fatening ass cookie even more fattening? Throw some chocolate on that bitch!' Hmm...that may work better than 'Throw Some Cheese' Man, I'm a fat dude but man....you must be a FAT FUCK to find that even slightly appetizing.
10) Applesauce is godly. Seriously, that stuff is TASTY. I prefer it not with a whole bunch of jibber jabber (strawberries, mango, berries, etc) but I can handle it.
Hope you enjoyed Easter, people! Remember, you dont have to be Catholic to enjoy the holiday.
You just have to be Catholic to give a shit.

Mother Nature....Eh, Screw It.
Yes it is another Friday and you know what that means. Its time for the…
Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown!
Its been a while, and there are a few new videos out, so here is another installment of…
Bubbling Under
Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder
Okay, I will be the first to admit that Maroon 5 got REAL annoying REAL quick with their creepy ass song ‘She Will Be Loved’. However, I initially DID like that video (albeit again creepy) and Sunday Morning KICKED ASS. I just saw this video this morning and I likes it. It may be on here soon! Next…shit.
DJ Khalied w/Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Baby & Lil Wayne – We’re Taking Over
Fuck. Everyone on here (aside from Baby who is embracing his Diddy role as # 1 talker) is tolerable and T.I. and Lil Wayne are two of my favs. Then you have Akon, who tries his damnedest to kill this song and video. Even still, I have been jamming to this for about two months now and it is about time there was a video for this! Finally, we have a group that actually has a #1 video on the Chachi Top 20 to their credit…
Beat Crusaders – Ghost
Hey, welcome back, guys! I haven’t heard much from them since Tonight, Tonight, Tonight from last year which went to #1 during September (NDK, fool!). I am liking this song and the video has an Evansesence feel to it. Welcome back! Now, onto the Countdown!
20. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #16)
After a pretty good run, the Boyz look on the verge of falling out of the Top 20. I still like this video, but I am waiting for a little something new from both camps. Especially Kanye, seeing as how he has toned down the stupidity. Also, pick up Cosmicolor from M-Flo! It is some good stuff and Crystal Kay is HAWT.
19. Rascal Flats – Stand (New Entry)
Yes, the Gang has returned. Okay, before you say anything eat my ass. I like Rascal Flats on my own terms, not shoved down my throat like ‘What Hurts The Most’ was last year. It was in a PSA about bro rape last year. Think about the lyrics and that is funny. Even still, the have a Number One video to their credit (yes, it was Number One on the Countdown for a week) and I for one am happy to see them back on here.
18. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (Last Week #20)
Yeah, I likes the Namie. Just got the single from Jpop N Kpop and I actually like the B-side more than the single. Even still…she has some legs on her I tell you what. And that is enough to get her to move up two spots.
17. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #14)
Mmmmm…give me some more May J now!
16. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #19)
Yes, Kumi and I are back on speaking terms. Sometimes it’s best to hash things out and remain friends. As thanks for our reconciliation, she dances up three spots this week.
15. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #12)
So I just got the Korn Unplugged album. Not gonna lie, I hated the whole ‘nu-metal’ movement and really didn’t like Korn at all. But stripped down and adding the hot as hell Amy Lee on vocals it is rather tolerable. And they made Radiohead sound cool. Yeah, I said it. I don’t get Radiohead. Except for the fact they suck ass. As does Coldplay. Who wants some of me?! Bring it bitches!
14. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #7, #1 for three weeks, Plunge of the Week)
I cry a little and I cant help it. I really dig this song and the video was so simple it was awesome. It would make me cry if I wasn’t such a jerk.
13. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #15)
So this song was on the radio yesterday (not sure what station, they all kind of blend together) last week while I was looking for the weather report. That is good because this song is bad ass and the video is pretty damn good to boot.
12. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #13)
Monkey Majik is slowly but surely making their way into the Top 10. Just like the song, the video has grown on me since the first time I saw it and now it is one of my favorites. I gotta get more of their stuff.
11. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #17, Biggest Mover)
Yes! Yuna Ito makes the biggest jump this week and lands just outside of the Top 10! This video kicks ass and the live performances I am seeing make me have a brand new infatuation. Move over, May J. Yuna Ito is the object of my obsession! Onto the Top 10!
10. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #11)
We begin the Top 10 with a little bit of RAWK for your face. Three Days Grace has their first official Top Ten video with this one. I wonder if they have a new album out soon. Didn’t One-X come out about a year ago?
9. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #6)
It is a sad day for Hinoi Team. It all breaks down that….you have to be of age to make it into the Top Five I guess. May J and Yui made it (Both 19. Ground rule double!) but young ladies…I CANNOT go to prison. Even for Rina. God, I hate myself.
8. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #9)
HMK has a new video out! Just as this video was making some moves, too! As soon as I get it I will let you know whether it rocks the box or not.
7. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #10)
So I just got the version of this song with a Japanese hook/refrain. Dare I say, it actually improves on the original? Because I’m gonna say it. Avril moves up three big spots for the Top 10’s biggest mover this week. I am considering checking out the album.
6. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #8)
Takuya and the boys creep ever so close to the Top Five once again! I actually have the first album I listened to from beginning to end since Common’s Be album. Great work on BUGRIGHT, guys! Now, off to the Top Five
5. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #4)
The Game falls back a spot but still stays in the Top 5 with this vid. So after Tony ‘The Tot Toppler’ Yayo’s attack on Jimmy Rosemond’s son The Game has fired back and threatened violence on Tony and Fiddy. Part of me really wants to see Fiddy get what’s coming to him Planet of the Apes style. Yet, most of me hates this whole ‘hip hop feud’ bullshit. The only good hip-hop feud was Roxanne Shante and Whodini. Albeit I was like four, but still.
4. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #5)
Well look who is back! Welcome home, baby. I missed you! Yui inches closer to her second Number One by flip flopping with The Game. This video is awesome and she is just so damn cute! Oh, and her album came out last week and it was SO WORTH THE DAMN WAIT! Great stuff! Now, to the Top Three! The same trio, but were there any changes?
3. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
You bet your ass there were changes. After two weeks at #1, including a tie with John Legend, Daughtry lets go of the top spot. Oh, American Idol updates! Sanjaya still sucks but is trying so hard, Jordin is looking HAWT and America sent home Gina. Why I am not sure but it proves once again that voting doesn’t work. Douchebrawl proved it. The 2000 election proved it. The blue M&M proved it (MAGENTA, BITCHES!). So with Daughtry at #3, do we have a new Number One video?
2. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #3)
Oooohhhh, so close! Bennie K makes a bid for their second #1 video! Joy Trip knocked Heaven from the #1 spot in January; can Yuki and Cico once again rain on a certain Legends’ parade? We’ll see! Until then, you know who is Number One…
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
John Legend is one week away from tying T.I. for the most weeks a #1 combined (5 weeks for Save Room, 2 for Heaven and now 2 for this video for a total of 9 to T.I.’s 10 weeks)! Last years winner for the Artist of the Year Chachi is making another bid for that award with a rather dominating performance in 2007! Congrats, John!
Well, that is all for this week peeps! Can John Legend hold on to the Top Spot for a third week in a row? Or will Bennie K secure the crown for the second time? Don’t forget about Daughtry, it may not be over for him at the top! Tune in next Friday same Chachi time, same Chachi site!
Chachi Out.

Monkey Majik is slowly but surely making their way into the Top 10. Just like the song, the video has grown on me since the first time I saw it and now it is one of my favorites. I gotta get more of their stuff.
11. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #17, Biggest Mover)
Yes! Yuna Ito makes the biggest jump this week and lands just outside of the Top 10! This video kicks ass and the live performances I am seeing make me have a brand new infatuation. Move over, May J. Yuna Ito is the object of my obsession! Onto the Top 10!
10. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #11)
We begin the Top 10 with a little bit of RAWK for your face. Three Days Grace has their first official Top Ten video with this one. I wonder if they have a new album out soon. Didn’t One-X come out about a year ago?
9. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #6)
It is a sad day for Hinoi Team. It all breaks down that….you have to be of age to make it into the Top Five I guess. May J and Yui made it (Both 19. Ground rule double!) but young ladies…I CANNOT go to prison. Even for Rina. God, I hate myself.
8. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #9)
HMK has a new video out! Just as this video was making some moves, too! As soon as I get it I will let you know whether it rocks the box or not.
7. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #10)
So I just got the version of this song with a Japanese hook/refrain. Dare I say, it actually improves on the original? Because I’m gonna say it. Avril moves up three big spots for the Top 10’s biggest mover this week. I am considering checking out the album.
6. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #8)
Takuya and the boys creep ever so close to the Top Five once again! I actually have the first album I listened to from beginning to end since Common’s Be album. Great work on BUGRIGHT, guys! Now, off to the Top Five
5. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #4)
The Game falls back a spot but still stays in the Top 5 with this vid. So after Tony ‘The Tot Toppler’ Yayo’s attack on Jimmy Rosemond’s son The Game has fired back and threatened violence on Tony and Fiddy. Part of me really wants to see Fiddy get what’s coming to him Planet of the Apes style. Yet, most of me hates this whole ‘hip hop feud’ bullshit. The only good hip-hop feud was Roxanne Shante and Whodini. Albeit I was like four, but still.
4. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #5)
Well look who is back! Welcome home, baby. I missed you! Yui inches closer to her second Number One by flip flopping with The Game. This video is awesome and she is just so damn cute! Oh, and her album came out last week and it was SO WORTH THE DAMN WAIT! Great stuff! Now, to the Top Three! The same trio, but were there any changes?
3. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
You bet your ass there were changes. After two weeks at #1, including a tie with John Legend, Daughtry lets go of the top spot. Oh, American Idol updates! Sanjaya still sucks but is trying so hard, Jordin is looking HAWT and America sent home Gina. Why I am not sure but it proves once again that voting doesn’t work. Douchebrawl proved it. The 2000 election proved it. The blue M&M proved it (MAGENTA, BITCHES!). So with Daughtry at #3, do we have a new Number One video?
2. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #3)
Oooohhhh, so close! Bennie K makes a bid for their second #1 video! Joy Trip knocked Heaven from the #1 spot in January; can Yuki and Cico once again rain on a certain Legends’ parade? We’ll see! Until then, you know who is Number One…
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
John Legend is one week away from tying T.I. for the most weeks a #1 combined (5 weeks for Save Room, 2 for Heaven and now 2 for this video for a total of 9 to T.I.’s 10 weeks)! Last years winner for the Artist of the Year Chachi is making another bid for that award with a rather dominating performance in 2007! Congrats, John!
Well, that is all for this week peeps! Can John Legend hold on to the Top Spot for a third week in a row? Or will Bennie K secure the crown for the second time? Don’t forget about Daughtry, it may not be over for him at the top! Tune in next Friday same Chachi time, same Chachi site!
Chachi Out.

Get Of My Porch...YOU NO-GOODER!!
What is up, peeps! It’s mid-week and it has been kind of a letdown since Griff and Nick left. Eh, thems the breaks though. I still have my Kon plushie so that’s cool.
Well, it is time for a little commentary. As a few of you know, there has been uproar over the last few months (I will say since about fall of 2006) about a certain word. And you all know the word, so if you are offended by it get in line. Now since I have had this blog up I have defended the use of a lot of things for humor including sexual orientation, weight, promiscuity and even rape. Yes, rape CAN BE FUNNY in its definition, not in its action and perpetration of. So today, here is a little commentary from the Chachi.
One To Grow On: The Word NIGGER
Now as one who uses the word (albeit sparingly and usually in referring to 50 Cent and is proceeded by ‘stupid ass’) I am kind of an expert on the word. The fact is that the word is offensive. Plain and simple. Just like saying ‘faggot’ brings up visions of Matthew Shepard and ‘rape’ brings up visions of ‘The Accused’ (which is another rant altogether because that movie….boo is all I can say) the word has a negative aura about it. When used incorrectly.
When used correctly, at the right time in the right circumstance there can be nothing and I mean NOTHING funnier than a nigger. Niggers are funny. Niggers are good and good for you. Niggers are like Lays, you can’t have just one! But get too many niggers in one place and there is gonna be violence. Because niggers don’t appreciate shit. You ever had a nigger at your house? When they were gone, did you have any food left? Nope, because niggers don’t share. Niggers is selfish. They eat the last slice of pizza and drink the last bit of Kool-Aid and don’t even ask. You know what that is? That is some niggerish action right there.
You see, that was funny. I wasn’t talking about anyone in specific, not was I making a comment about anyone’s race. Because a nigger can be any race. When you specifically say ‘Hey, nigger’ (heard that) or ‘Niggers can’t get gas here’ (heard that one, too) and ‘Every time a nigger gets a job over me, an angel loses its wings’ (yeah…haven’t heard that one yet but someone has said it. I’m sure of it) that right there is NOT funny. That is a direct attack on an individual used to demean or hurt them. Before you say that saying something someone did is ‘niggerish’ is just as offensive, you are dead on with that. The difference is…that I am fucking hilarious. It says so on my stationary AND my resume. Which also says I was the lead singer of Troop but hey, can’t nobody say I wasn’t. Name a member! Yeah, I thought so.
In all seriousness, the word nigger is offensive. It has a long history of being hateful and being used to strip away the individuality of Blacks and place them as something below the user. It is not a word that can be taken and given a ‘positive’ context like women claim with ‘bitch’ and ‘whore’ or homosexuals claim for ‘faggot’. I have never really believed in that standpoint, mainly because just because a Black person calls me a nigger doesn’t mean it won’t hit a button. You know what?
THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY.
I know that sounds weird, but hear me out. The reason the word nigger can work so well in humor is the fact that it is so damn hurtful, even to this day with every rapper rhyming nigger with…well nigger because rappers know nothing about alliteration for the most part. I had the Martin Luther King Jr. rant from the Boondocks up a while back and every word in there except ‘niggers hate to hurry’ (he sadly hasn’t seen a 50 Cent concert) was true. Not to mention fucking hilarious. The truth was in its hilarity and vice versa. People that get upset about the usage of the word are justified. However, that is what the word is for; to upset people. It wasn’t created as another word for hello, it was created to strip away (like I said before) a persons individuality and show them as nothing but ignorance. The word should not only incite anger, but incite a change in what the hell you are doing. Now if you don’t act like a nigger, and someone calls you a nigger, then that nigger is a nigger themselves. It makes sense when you think about it. And that is one to grow on. Besides, this song would make no sense if it was banned:
Ah, I am so gonna be Uncle Ruckus for Halloween if I can’t get a Number 24 from Venture Brothers costume working.
I will be back on Friday for the Top 20 Video Countdown. Until then, stay up.

A Friend Is Just A Stranger You Havent Stabbed.
A special post today. Some words are in order after this busy weekend as we have a special...
Chachi's Lessons To Grow On!
This week I learned about: Friendship
I never really give friends their due for the most part. Seeing as how I only have...five or so I really should do it more. Having two leave in the span of 24 hours made me think about it so I have some things to say:
1) Griff is my dog for life. Been through so much stuff with that cat. This must be what it was like for Crockett and Tubbs when Miami Vice went off the air. From the Top Ramen Incident to throwing him out of my house the first time he beat me in Madden after a FIVE YEAR undefeated streak against everyone. Its rough for me to make and keep friends because I am as cuddle as a fucking porcupine, but he has stayed true to the Duece even after he stole my woman (even though I stole his first. Payback is a bitch). Stay up, homie. Next time youre up, we's playing NBA Shootout 97 and I am brining back the Johnson Twins!
2) I'm actually going to miss the conflicted Morman musings that was Skinnerman. Hanging out in the S-Cave isnt going to be as cool without the man that coined 'Hampster-Dam'. I give props, that was funny as hell. Only knew you for a bit, but you were the lesser of the Skinner evils, especially since we had no 'Bonnie Tyler' moments like Nolan and I had (AWKWAAAAARD). Even with the mulititude of man-dates and the ambigous exchanges in public ('You hang out with my brother, too?! You slut!') it was cool hanging with you. Stay cool in Phoenix because odds are you wont. That place if frickin hot. Take care of yourself and never lose the spirit. Because you are a sweet spirit. Sons of Provo joke...
3) Rick. I am the king of dicketry. Once again I back out of a DENVER PARTAY and I again say 'dick move' on my part. I should treat the guy that let me rant and rave like a drunken asshole (because I am an asshole and I was drunk) a lot better. And I nearly threw up on your couch. Hell, noting the color scheme I may actually have. Even still, stay up I will get you back someday before I turn 27. Which isnt to far off, shit I'm getting old. Oh, and I seem to have misplaced my pants.
That is all for now. The people I didnt mention I owe money to. And you aint ever gonna get that shit. If I dont pay my bills on time, what makes you think I'm going to pay YOU on time?! I leave my friends with a song from the small screen classic Saved By The Bell...
Good night, peeps.

The Champ Is Here!
Evening, peeps! Well, it has come to an end. After a month of voting we have a new Champion of Douchebrawl. So lets get right to it!
Douchebrawl Championship
(1) Mel Gibson 40%
Vs.
(6) Lindsay Lohan 60%
Yes, we have an upset peeps! Lindsay Lohan has taken the Douchebrawl throne after a whirlwind of beating top seeds left and right. It was quite an upset by celeb standpoints, as Lindsay has been more of a trainwreck than a douche. I mean, Mel Gibson’s douchiness knows no bounds or limits (he is like the Hulk of douches. The more douchey he gets the more powerful he becomes) and I thought either he or Bono was a lock. However, the peeps voted and have given the crown this year to Lindsay. I must give her congratulations! For Mel, it was another year of coming oh so close. For Lindsay, it is sweet. Sweet victory…
You are the Champion, Lindsay. May you enjoy your reign!
Also, today my homie T’Sheezy flew back to Texas after a few days of cutting it loose. Man, it was good times. Also, one of the members of A2B will be sadly leaving the group. Nik will be leaving to Phoenix tomorrow morning leaving A2B down to three members. And that is just LAME. LFO had three members, and where are they now? The work at the Chapel Hills Mall at Macy’s. So, with that being said we will once again hold open tryouts for the final TWO spots in A2B. Also, we are looking for dancers and hypemen (and a rapper if possible) so feel free to let me know if you have any kind of skills whatsoever.
Well, tomorrow is the beginning of another work week so it is time to be out. I will try to be back during the week for a rant (and BOY do I have some pent up aggression to get out) before Friday. Until then, stay up peeps.

You Know, I Learned Something ELSE Today...
Okay, pretty jacked up day today. I did take these gems away from it:
1) 'Throw Some Cheese' remix of 'Throw Some Ds' could be a Top Ten hit.
2) Griff needs to learn how to keep his fucking mouth shut. There are some things I have kept hidden for a decade, and he tried to ruin that shit. Good job, fucky.
3) Cosmix sucks. I mean seriously, they have been expanding that fucking highway since Wu Tang Clan was popular.
4) I get pwned at Tekken. Yeah, I am 'teh suck' and Griff schooled me....
5) ....BUT I WILL ROCK YOUR FACE IN MADDEN! Yeah, if it wasnt for a botched kick and DeAngelo Hall falling down I would have had a shut out. I had 500 yards of total offense from the FALCONS.
6) I am the TRIVIA MASTER. Bring it, I challenge anyone and will crush all comers. David Bowie may have been at the head of the craze, but I mastered it.
7) People are DISGUSTING. Someone left a stinky mud baby in the urinal at Dave & Busters. Just....fucking wrong.
8) Hello Kitty rules, fool! Used my 10 speed ticket fund to pick up a few Hellu Kitty things. Pez despenser. Does it GET any cooler?!
9) House of the Dead 4 is AWESOME. Yeah, aside from Griff using his grenade to kill ONE PERSON it was a kickass game. Except the ending sucked it dry.
10) I missed midgets. Dude...man...fuck. It could have been like a field goal extravaganza of kicked little people! SHIT!
Oh, and some dipfuck bumped my car in the parking lot. I wanted to take the beating stick to it, but then I'M at fault. Crazy world. Oh, and no more round-a-bouts in the CSP until you can make it through the first one. England can use them because they drive on the wrong side and are used to it. Trust me, it makes sense. Americans on the other hand are FUCKING STUPID and cant drive on an OVAL. Think about it.
Meh, I am off to play God of War II before bed. Be sure to vote in Douchebrawl! Polls close tonight!

Hmm. Well This Is Quite The Odd Moment.
What’s up, peeps! It is another Friday so you know what that means! Time for the…
CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!
And AWAY we go with a debut!
20. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (New Entry)
Well that didn’t take long. While the song isn’t as kick ass as ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ but the video has Namie in thigh highs and a skirt. Nuff said. Not only that, but funky fresh dance moves. Come on, people! That is really all a video needs to catch my attention. Welcome to the Countdown again!
19. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (New Entry)
Kumiko is back, this time in clothed form! More than usual, anyway. This video has grown on me (mainly due to the myriad of live performance which made me give up my boycott on women) and that’s what gets it on this week. And actually, the song is rather catchy, too. I had ‘But’ up last week, but I like “Black Cherry’ and this song is G-R-O-O-V-Y. Welcome back to Miss Koda as well!
18. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #15, #1 for three weeks, Plunge of the Week)
It’s about time to say goodbye to the reigning queen of the Countdown of 2007. With Nelly Furtado out of the Countdown, Yui is the 2nd longest reigning video on here. With CHE.R.RY moving up things aint so bad, though.
17. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #19)
Yummy. That is all. And I got her acoustic show from JPopsuki and hells yes. Her voice is just majestic. Yes, I said majestic. It is up there, odds are better than all the artists out there so far. You hear that Christina? And she didn’t have to wear hot pants to do it! Although…that wouldn’t be so bad. I’m just saying!
16. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #13)
So M-Flo could set a little bit of history. Seeing as how he has been working with the FINE ASS Crystal Kay and it is hot on the heels of making it on the Countdown, M-Flo could be involved with FOUR videos on here. That would be a record for real! Looks like someone new is in the running for Artist of the Year!
15. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #17)
K-OS moves up two more spots this week with his first foray into the Countdown. Just got his album and it aint too shabby. A few too many samples, but aside from that it rocks the box. Oh, and guess what? Funky fresh prom dance moves in this one! Yeah, I didn’t go to my prom. Oy vey…I am so going to cry now…
14. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #11)
…May J knows how to cheer me up! The longest running video on the Countdown so far is two weeks away from breaking UVERworld’s record for Shamrock! She already broke the record for being in the Top 10, all without reaching number one! Quite the accomplishment!
13. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #14)
Monkey Majik is still going strong with this one, moving up one spot. Just got the M-Flo ‘Cosmicolor’ album (thank you again, Roxanne!) and got the record version. Quite different. I must say, I like the video version better. Even still, I am also tolerating the song with Seamo a little more. It may be on here because I dig classroom videos.
12. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #8)
Out of the Top 10 for Amy Lee. After falling short of the Top Spot yet again, Evanescence continues their downward swing.
11. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
Don’t stop a rockin’! Three Days Grace is looking for their first Top 10 video! So anyone privy on when their new work comes out? I would figure it is about time and all.
10. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #12)
Okay, I will get some shit for this. I don’t care, this song is groovy! I know Avril gets a bad rap from a lot (well, all of) you and its kind of unwarranted. Okay, her first album pissed me off to no end (although I liked I’m With You) but her second one was pretty good. So quit hating! Although I am pissed off about the manga, but at least I haven’t seen it anywhere.
9. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #10)
Home Made Kazoku moves up one spot this week! One of the better Naruto closing themes and actually a rather simple video. Good stuff for the fans out there.
8. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #9)
The ‘World moves up another spot this week, too. This video has found a groove with me. Now I like it because the video kicks ass, not just because it is UVERworld which used to be the case. Here is hoping for a video for ‘51%’ soon!
7. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #3, #1 for three weeks)
After dominating the Countdown for three weeks, Namie falls four more spots and out of the Top Five with this video. It’s all good, she has a new one on to make up for it. All is well.
6. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #6)
Dancin, dreamin and staying put at #6 for a second week. Hinoi Team is doing well with their first video if I say so myself. Even sadder is I know the majority of the dance moves to this video because I have seen it so many times. Yet, funky fresh dance moves rule so bite me. Even with those, Hinoi Team waits outside of the Top Five.
5. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #7)
Yay! Yui makes it in to the Top Five with her second video! Hey, I love this song. It’s a ringtone, it was my MySpace song AND gets the most watching on the playlist. Oh, and the HD live performance is quite the awesome if I say so myself. Hooray for Yui!
4. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #5)
Seems The Game has some beef with Vida Guerra. Not cool, Game. Vida is fine as all hell and I love her. Do not besmirch her name, fool! Even still, love the video. Also, The Game is on the verge of his third Top 3 video! Can he make it happen? Some big names are above him…
3. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #4)
…Like these ladies! Bennie K is making moves to get their second #1 video! This video has been sneaking up and has been making it’s round on the MP3 mix in the car. Still waiting for some album action. Until then, have this video in HD to watch. Can you say SAUCY? I know I can! Now, its time for a first on the Chachi Video Countdown…
1. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
Yes, that is a #1 where a two should be. You aren’t seeing things. Daughtry spends his second week at Number One with this video! Still pissed off about missing Chris getting voted off (his performance was lackluster) while Sanjaya was actually…tolerable with his rendition of ‘Bathwater’ which is one of my favorite No Doubt songs. That idiot that did ‘Love Song’ should have been voted off. We already have ONE J-Tim and that is ENOUGH! Damn teenage white girls. Anyway, yes there was a TIE for the #1 spot. Who is the other artist?
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #2, one week at #1)
Yeah, you know it! John Legend has his 3rd Number 1 video to tie him with UVERworld for the most EVER! This video is a great watch and the song is also a ringtone. I have no woman to GIVE IT TO but it is there as the generic one (switching between ‘Freeway’ by Bi of course). Congrats to Chris and John on sharing the Top Spot!
That is it for this week, peeps! Who will stay at the top of the mountain: Daughtry or John Legend? Or can Bennie K or The Game leapfrog and take Number One? Yui is back in the mix after a five week hiatus, can she take the throne again? Tune in next week and find out!

CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!
And AWAY we go with a debut!
20. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (New Entry)
Well that didn’t take long. While the song isn’t as kick ass as ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ but the video has Namie in thigh highs and a skirt. Nuff said. Not only that, but funky fresh dance moves. Come on, people! That is really all a video needs to catch my attention. Welcome to the Countdown again!
19. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (New Entry)
Kumiko is back, this time in clothed form! More than usual, anyway. This video has grown on me (mainly due to the myriad of live performance which made me give up my boycott on women) and that’s what gets it on this week. And actually, the song is rather catchy, too. I had ‘But’ up last week, but I like “Black Cherry’ and this song is G-R-O-O-V-Y. Welcome back to Miss Koda as well!
18. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #15, #1 for three weeks, Plunge of the Week)
It’s about time to say goodbye to the reigning queen of the Countdown of 2007. With Nelly Furtado out of the Countdown, Yui is the 2nd longest reigning video on here. With CHE.R.RY moving up things aint so bad, though.
17. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #19)
Yummy. That is all. And I got her acoustic show from JPopsuki and hells yes. Her voice is just majestic. Yes, I said majestic. It is up there, odds are better than all the artists out there so far. You hear that Christina? And she didn’t have to wear hot pants to do it! Although…that wouldn’t be so bad. I’m just saying!
16. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #13)
So M-Flo could set a little bit of history. Seeing as how he has been working with the FINE ASS Crystal Kay and it is hot on the heels of making it on the Countdown, M-Flo could be involved with FOUR videos on here. That would be a record for real! Looks like someone new is in the running for Artist of the Year!
15. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #17)
K-OS moves up two more spots this week with his first foray into the Countdown. Just got his album and it aint too shabby. A few too many samples, but aside from that it rocks the box. Oh, and guess what? Funky fresh prom dance moves in this one! Yeah, I didn’t go to my prom. Oy vey…I am so going to cry now…
14. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #11)
…May J knows how to cheer me up! The longest running video on the Countdown so far is two weeks away from breaking UVERworld’s record for Shamrock! She already broke the record for being in the Top 10, all without reaching number one! Quite the accomplishment!
13. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #14)
Monkey Majik is still going strong with this one, moving up one spot. Just got the M-Flo ‘Cosmicolor’ album (thank you again, Roxanne!) and got the record version. Quite different. I must say, I like the video version better. Even still, I am also tolerating the song with Seamo a little more. It may be on here because I dig classroom videos.
12. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #8)
Out of the Top 10 for Amy Lee. After falling short of the Top Spot yet again, Evanescence continues their downward swing.
11. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
Don’t stop a rockin’! Three Days Grace is looking for their first Top 10 video! So anyone privy on when their new work comes out? I would figure it is about time and all.
10. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #12)
Okay, I will get some shit for this. I don’t care, this song is groovy! I know Avril gets a bad rap from a lot (well, all of) you and its kind of unwarranted. Okay, her first album pissed me off to no end (although I liked I’m With You) but her second one was pretty good. So quit hating! Although I am pissed off about the manga, but at least I haven’t seen it anywhere.
9. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #10)
Home Made Kazoku moves up one spot this week! One of the better Naruto closing themes and actually a rather simple video. Good stuff for the fans out there.
8. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #9)
The ‘World moves up another spot this week, too. This video has found a groove with me. Now I like it because the video kicks ass, not just because it is UVERworld which used to be the case. Here is hoping for a video for ‘51%’ soon!
7. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #3, #1 for three weeks)
After dominating the Countdown for three weeks, Namie falls four more spots and out of the Top Five with this video. It’s all good, she has a new one on to make up for it. All is well.

Man, My Life Gets Weirder By The Day.
What is up peeps! It is another gloriously shitty Monday in the CSP! I left a job in Denver for THIS?! At least I can wake up 45 minutes late and make it to work with one minute left to spare. Now THAT is good stuff.
So I first off want to thank everyone (all eight or nine of you) for voting in Douchebrawl. Aside from Beth and Zach, I don’t think anyone approves of the finalists (seeing as how democracy took the Bono/Paris Hilton final I was hoping for and shot it down like so many of my goddamn dreams) but that is what you get for not voting. Take note, because next year it is the battle of the All-Stars as Tom Cruise, Heather Graham and 50 Cent all return! Yeah, I am bringing out the big guns in 2008.
So I have a little rant in me. It is less of a rant, more of a complaint. I went cologne shopping on Saturday and first off why does all men’s cologne reek of ‘man-whore?’ I mean due to my indecisiveness I had to buy two (Giorgo something and Yves Saint Laurent which makes me smell like I am looking for the kind of love I don’t want), and that makes me double the skank. I am now what I despise. Anyway, one thing I have noticed recently is that I have been complimented on my dress by women. A lot. Now it is always nice to receive a compliment, especially when you are use to being laughed at and rejected. However, the line after the ‘Wow, you look nice/smell nice/don’t make me want to call security’ is followed by ‘What’s the occasion? Date tonight?’
This pisses me off because they know DAMN WELL no woman wants to date me. NONE. Rightfully so, I’m kind of a spaz and TOTALLY a jerk. Even with my…like two good qualities I know damn well that the odds of me getting a date between 1 and 10 is about Omaha, Nebraska. The simple fact is I don’t dress nice to impress the ladies because I have seen the dudes they are with so they must not care. I mean have you SEEN the fucktards with girlfriends these days? Half of them look like frat house rejects fresh off ‘bro-ing out with the bros’ while the others look swarthier than a Turkish boat tycoon dipped in Crisco and yet THEY get the honies. High school really never ends. So it is obvious the dress has very little to do with it or I am missing something (which I am most likely but I like my explanation better so NYAH).
The simple reason I dress nice (or as nice as I can on the budget I have) is for me. I can’t dress nice to look good? I mean lets face it; all this Come-And-Get-It is going to WASTE and I can’t let that slide. I mean, the best part about mancake is the frosting anyway. Am I right? Yeah, you know it. Every once in a while a man likes to get all gussied up and strut like Saturday Night Fever. Pop yo collar and get your walk on, so to speak. Only difference is that when I strut, Bi’s ‘I’m Coming’ is playing and I don’t do the pelvic thrusts because there are children around and they are the future. They don’t need to see that. So ladies, the next time you see me and I am looking all good it aint for you. Oh no, it is for ME because I likes to look FAB-YOU-LOUS!
Now, to what could be the greatest movie about dancing since Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo. Here is ‘Kickin It Old Skool’:
Oh, I am so there. And did you see The Hoff and Kitt?! OH HELLS YES! Funky fresh dance moves aplenty! Well, that is all for now. Oh, one more thing. When Nick and I went to the Park Meadows Mall on Saturday, we saw something disturbing. Since when were females under the age of 18 allowed to go to Victoria’s Secret? I am sure I’m the only one that finds a problem with this (like I’m the only one that finds issue with 12 year old boys with Grillz and white tees) but this is fucking stupid. I mean this is part of the Dumbening of America right here. Girls have no need to be in Victoria’s Secret just like young men have no need to shop at Abercrombie and Fitch. Who are these girls trying to impress? I will tell you: dirty old men. And good luck with that shit. No good can come out of this trend. My daughter is going to be a fucking Spartan warrior. No way is she dressing like the eleven and twelve year olds at the mall. I mean I am not saying to dress like the Jane Austen times but for Jebus sake wear something that doesn’t sat ‘Hot Slut’ on it (and I have seen that, it is why I’m upset).
Oh and young boys are even WORSE. I was out at the Chapel Hills Mall yesterday on my comic run and to torment the dogs in the pet store by making it look like I am going to take them home when there was (once again) a scantily dress young child and there was a pack of 4 boys coming out of the theater. She was walking near me (not too close, but close enough to be in earshot if I spoke under my breath) and she said I smelled nice (to which I said thanks and wanted to run the hell away because jailbait is sadly the new thirty) and sped up to be side by side when the pack came to the area she was out and began ‘hitting on’ her in the most vulgar way possible. It made ‘Get Low’ seem like Cyrano as one actually said ‘Damn, your ass is working those jeans girl!’ No shit, I actually was going to just leave when I looked and she obviously looked uncomfortable as they literally kept on about how she was dressed for about 30 seconds or so as I was going to head to the comic book store. It was at that point I decided that turn stop and turn around. I walked toward them a few steps and told them ‘Hey, show some respect.’ At that point they looked at me like I was a police officer and said the most damning thing ever. ‘I didn’t know she was your girl, man.’
WTF?! I had to correct them quick and tell them she WASN’T my girlfriend but that they were being dicks and act like they had some sense. At that point it was like ‘Whateva, nigga’ and they left (keep in mind, these were four white kids that were dressed like bros, hence my total anger). What sucked EVEN MORE is that the girl followed me from the pet store to the Borders to Pacific Blue to the damn Food Court BACK TO BORDERS. More than likely it was for protection but I felt totally uncomfortable about that.
The reason I rant about this mostly is that it is a Catch 22. Women can’t dress ANYWAY for the most part because for the most part, men are perverts. On one hand I felt bad for her because she was just there to buy shoes while her mother was looking at other stuff (I feel totally creepy for having knowing her damn life story) and according to her she was harassed the WHOLE TIME. She didn’t do anything to attract it aside from dressing provocatively (which she was) but I wouldn’t put it into the realm of some of the stuff I have seen at the club. On the other hand, why in the hell would she dress like that at 15 any-damn-way? Just because you have it doesn’t mean you should flaunt it, at any age. Yet, just because she flaunts it is no excuse for a man to objectify it. You see? It is like a sexist game of Pong. There is no real right or wrong. That is what makes the problem of the sexes to difficult to rectify. So you know what? It is officially the South Park Theory about the N-Word: I don’t get it.
I will NEVER understand what it is like for a woman to be objectified solely for her body. However, a woman will NEVER understand the position of being a man in which no matter which route you choose, you could be wrong. Some women wear tight clothes to BE objectified (don’t even say that shit aint true, ladies) while some wear tight clothes for empowerment (HAHAHAHAHAHA….bullshit) or just because they want to. If you are wrong about her decision then may god help you. There is no victory, only the understanding that we will never understand. Rather than trying to understand each other as a whole, focus on understanding each person as an individual. Makes prejudice a lot harder. And that is one to grow on.
Well, that is all for now. I will try to be back up before the Countdown on Friday but I may not be because THE GRIZZLE IS COMING BACK ON WEDNSESDAY!! I hope you take pictures of the CSP now, because this motha is gonna be turned UPSIDE DOWN when we get done with it! We came to throwdown! Until the next time, stay up peeps!

It Takes Two To Tango...
Okay, it is time. 64 people entered the arena one month ago in hopes of being the Champion of Douchebrawl. You, the believers of the Chachi and the punisher of the asshat voted to see who would be the winner. We have gone from 64 participants down to four. Tonight, two people will fail in their conquest for ultimate infamy. They will have had a grand journey, and should be commended for such. Even still, they are assholes and should be treated as such. However, two of these people will go on to the final challenge they will battle for the ultimate in celebrity prizes. They will go toe-to-toe, doucheo-y-doucheo for the title of Douchebrawl Champion. They will go down in history with the names of Tom Cruise and Heather Graham as the greatest of all the douches. Tonight…I give you the Douchebrawl Championship participants! First, the updated brackets: 
Now, the results!
Douchebrawl Championship Semi-Final:
George Lucas Acting Region Winner (1) Mel Gibson 55.56%
Vs.
50 Cent Musician Region Winner (3) Eminem 44.44%
One step away! Mel Gibson continues his Tom Cruise-like run to the Douchebrawl Championship! In a true douche fashion, Mel comes back to take the win from Eminem. Slim Shady had an excellent run, including pulling the upset over Bono (Thanks, DEMOCRACY!) to make it to the Douchebrawl Final Four but ran into a re-douchenated Mel after the Apocalypto fiasco. By the way, the movie sucked so the argument from the Mayans should focus on its being shitty rather than the violence. I’m just saying. With that being said, that just builds on to Mel’s legacy of being a fucking punk. However, I want to say how proud I am of Eminem in making it this far. I mean, what has he done over the last year? Nothing that I know of except The Re-Up, and since it already had Fiddy on it I was SO not getting involved in that ear-rape of an album. Even still, he was able to topple Bono and Diddy, both who were active this year with shitty music (Bono making a song for the New Orleans Saints when he isn’t a fucking American and Diddy just LIVING is annoying in definition). Great job Marshall, but not enough to defeat the King of Crazy.Now, time for the second finalist…

Douchebrawl Championship Semi-Final:
Heather Graham Trollop Whore Region Winner (6) Lindsay Lohan 66.67%
Vs,
Andy Dick Fucktard Region Winner (1) Kevin Federline 33.33%
Once again, K-Fed fails to beat a woman for a trip to the Douchebrawl Championship. Maybe he should hang out with Ike Turner more often. ZING! It seems firecrotch is making her first trip to the Douchebrawl Championship! After her vagina baring week (well, not like it is news, her gullyhole got out of rehab before she did) I guess people figured that she was more of an idiot than K-Fuck. I can agree, he has been rather quiet since the Super Bowl ad and he is actually looking like the SANE ONE after Britney’s Martin Lawrence breakdown sans pistol. K-Fed has officially become the Duke University of Douchebrawl, never able to win the big one but at least makes it to the big one. Unlike Bono, who TOTALLY Peyton Manning this year. HA! Only funny part of last night’s SNL. Also, for the second straight year, the finalist of the Trollop Whore Region will be in the finals. I think next year I will switch things up a little bit. Lindsay also makes it this far after a lackluster Second Round defeat to Madonna of all people. This year she came back with a vengeance beating all three top seeds (Britney, Paris and Tara) and K-Fed to boot. Congrats, Lindsay!
So the finals have been set. We are down to two. After next Sunday, one person will go home the runner-up, second place after a hard fought run to immortality. However, the winner next Sunday will go down in history with the name Tom Cruise as a winner of Douchebrawl. Who will it be?! The Finals are set, and here is the match-up:
Douchebrawl 2007 Championship
George Lucas Acting Region Winner (1) Mel Gibson
Vs.
Heather Graham Trollop Whore Region Winner (6) Lindsay Lohan
This is it! The Grandest Battle on the Second Grandest Stage of Them All! Who will win the 2nd Annual Tom Cruise Douchebrawl? Only you can choose! The polls are now up and ready for you to cast your ballot! Make your voice heard! Until Friday, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out.
Heather Graham Trollop Whore Region Winner (6) Lindsay Lohan 66.67%
Vs,
Andy Dick Fucktard Region Winner (1) Kevin Federline 33.33%
Once again, K-Fed fails to beat a woman for a trip to the Douchebrawl Championship. Maybe he should hang out with Ike Turner more often. ZING! It seems firecrotch is making her first trip to the Douchebrawl Championship! After her vagina baring week (well, not like it is news, her gullyhole got out of rehab before she did) I guess people figured that she was more of an idiot than K-Fuck.

It's A Man's World....
It is SO FRIDAY, peeps! Tonight is Happy Hour followed by T-U-R-T-L-E POWER because TMNT comes out tonight! Shell yeah! Turtle pun…I’ll stop. You know what time it is, so let me just bring it…
CHACHI’S TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!!
This week I have another installment of…
Bubbling Under
First I bring you a new video from the current Number One artist:
Namie Amuro – Funky Town
Yummy. That is all I can say. Namie can work some black and some thigh highs. Legs that just say SEX-EEEEEE! She still needs a sandwich but few dance better than Namie (Ciara is on top IMHO followed by BoA and then Kumi Koda). Happy action fun time goodness over here! Can I get a N-A-M-I-E? Yes, I think I can. Next we have a song I have been digging since I got my promo pack in February…
Ne-Yo – Because Of You
Okay, this video is rather simple. Very simple. But you know what? I dig it a lot because it isn’t over extravagant like most R&B videos. Omarion and Chris Brown, I am looking at you. And the James Brown breakdown at the end is pretty spiffy. All in all, I like this video a hell of a lot. Lastly, I have my lady love…
Kumi Koda - But
O_o WOW. I am not for chick-on-chick kissing in videos (THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN! NOT YOU R. KELLY!) but its Kumi Koda so I will allow it. Miss Koda has actually been wearing clothes and toning down (well, ANYTHING is toning down after Juicy. MY GOD that was hot!) and I likes it. Aisho is better for the whole kimono factor (some people like schoolgirl outfits, I have always dug the kimono) but this video is on point. Oh, and the live performance makes men of boys. I guarantee it.
Now, on to the Countdown! We start with a record breaker on the way out!
20. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #17, #1 for three weeks)
Looks like Nelly Furtado is hanging on with everything she has! After 20 plus weeks, it has been a LONG ride with the majority of that time in the Top 10. Here is to a new video soon, hell maybe even a new album (we all remember the wait between Folklore and Loose so don’t get your hopes up)! Great run for Nelly and I am sure she will be back soon!
19. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (New Entry)
From one saucy lady to another! Yuna Ito makes her first ever appearance on the Top 20 Video Countdown (although Truth came hella close) with this danceable ditty. I have seen the first two episodes of Unfair and from what I can make out of it (I am still downloading the subbed version) it kicks ass. Oh, and the b-side of this single is top notch. Did I mention Yuna is quite nice? If I haven’t, look again. I’ll be at number 18 when you get back…
18. T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry, & B.G. – Top Back (Remix) [Last Week #12, two weeks at #1]
So T.I. is on the way out of the Top 20 after getting his second number one. His album is out soon and I don’t think they are releasing another single fro ‘King’ so it is a T.I.-less Spring for me. To that I say boo.
17. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #20)
K-OS makes a big move this week in his first foray into the Top 20. This song is a nice break in my Hip Hop folder in my MP3 deck (right between Swizz Beats and Rich Boy) and the video is a nice break from the J-Pop that is dominating my work play list. Catchy little song and high school dances bring back memories. Shitty memories, but still.
16. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (New Entry)
A high debut this wee from the surprise winner of the Chachi for Rock of the Year (beating out UVERworld and Evanesence)! I still have yet to buy One-X (albeit I have every song off of it) and this one is a favorite of mine. I had no idea it was released as a single or had a video and after watching it….whoa. Needless to say, it is good to have them on here, its been a while!
15. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #12, #1 for three weeks, Plunge of the Week)
What more can I say about Yui that I haven’t already said? I am really gonna miss this video but I like CHE.R.RY a lot better now. Also, the new theme to Bleach should be here any minute (and check out Bleach 119! AWESOME!! Kenpachi as a young man is still bad ass!) so I am looking forward to that. This video will definitely be on the Year End Extravaganza.
14. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #16)
Say hello to my new ringtone! This song has totally grown on me (with m-flo it doesn’t take much) and this video is a LOT better than the crap I had to watch on MTV last night while I worked on my phone. My god, does every video suck ass on MTV or is it just me?! And they are getting rid of MTV One, which had some J-pop videos that Adelphia (now Anal-rape-cast…err…Comcast) DIDN’T HAVE but we have PAX. J-Pop is better than gospel. Fuck off, Christianity and your shitty rock music.
13. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #10)
Had to calm down again. The BOYZ fall a little this week and this is less about me not liking the video and more with I needs something new! C’mon, guys lay down some good stuff for the Chachi!
12. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #15)
Yes, Avril moves up again just a stones throw from the Top 10. I like this video and I don’t care this song should be in the next Bring It On movie (tentatively titled Bring It On One Mo’ Gin: The Re-Broughtening) because it is that damn cheer-tastic. Yes, I said cheer-tastic.
11. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #8)
NOOOOOOOO! May J falls out of the Top 10 for the first time since…December? Man, she was hanging around for a while. Rightfully so, this video is HAWT. As is she. She is naice. I like. Well, on to the Top 10!
10. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #12)
For the first time, Home Made Kazoku makes a trip to the Top 10! This song is on my MySpace now and officially is on the phone as a ringtone (not sure whose yet). Just got the album fron Jpop & Kpop and it is good listening. Check it out if you are into that kind of thing. Which most of you aren’t but hey: right here, fucky.
9. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #11)
Yeah, you know it. UVERworld makes another run for the Top Spot! So BUGRIGHT debuted at #1 on the Japanese charts when it came out. Well DUUUUUH! Rather have this than U2’s greatest hits any day of the damn week. Fuck Bono. I can’t believe you guys voted for Eminem over Bono. Eminem is overrated but at least he isn’t a fucktard. Man…democracy is a strange mistress.
8. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #4)
Amy Lee and the boys fall four big spots and out of the Top Five. Maybe a few more wolves would have done the trick…
7. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #9)
More Yui! YAAAAAAY!!! This song is ALSO a ringtone for a certain someone (you know who you are, but maybe not because you never call and odds are don’t read the blog but eh, who does?) and this video is actually on right now. Man, I love this song. I even have learned to not be so afraid of deer now. Still don’t trust them, though…
6. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #7)
So the Queens of Underage Hawtness move up to one spot away from the Top 5. You know, Hinoi Team has the whole girl group thing locked down with all of them…well sucking. Aside from Foxxi MisQ, they have their moments. Aside from that, this is the only real good video from a girl group, American or not. YA-KYIM (I think that’s how it is spelled out) is OKAY but not awesome. Here is to a Hinoi Team album! Now, to the Top 5!
5. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #6)
Once again, The Game is carrying the torch for hip hop in the Top 5. Sad state when the biggest rap album of the year is from a dead man whose work we have ALREADY FUCKING HEARD! Hell, 2Pac has released double the albums posthumously than he did when he was alive! We have heard what, one new Biggie verse sine 1998?! Sad. Hell, when I am liking Rich Boy (who actually kind of sucks but is one of the better things out) you know there is a problem with hip hop because he is from ALABAMA! Man, enough ranting…
4. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #5)
Ahhh, some Yuki and Cico to calm me down. If there is one thing I can count on, its that the ladies of Bennie K can calm me down from any fit of anger. Has Bennie K had an official album since Japan-A-Rhythm? I really don’t think so. GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE, NOW! I needs a full fix! Okay, gotta calm down, it is time for the Top Three.
3. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #1, #1 for three weeks)
Another artist falls short from the four week reign! Namie ties Nelly Furtado (Say It Right) and Yui (Rolling Star) as the longest running Number One videos of 2007. Not much to fret about, she has a new video and a new single so no one is crying, Namie. You don’t have to worry about that! We have a new number one video! Is it John or Chris…..
2. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #3)
Moving up one spot to the runner up position, John Legend is attempting to have his 3rd #1 video! You know, aside from my laptop the only place I see this video is on VH1 Soul. That network actually isn’t that bad (they played Anita Baker AND Shalamar!) and has some good stuff! Good to see someone else giving the love up for this video. This song is also a ring tone on the new phone, but with no lady the point is probably moot. Eh, it is my own fault. I love too much. Anyway, peeps we have a NEW NUMBER ONE VIDEO!!!!
1. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #2, one week at #1)
HELLS-MOTHERFUCKING-YES!! After an eight week wait, Daughtry finally secures the Number One spot! Kick ass video, rockin’ song and an awesome album! Oh, speaking of American Idol…DEMOCRACY DOESN’T FUCKING WORK! You know what I mean. My god, is America stupid or is this crazy day on Planet Stupid (different than Obvious Day)?! Man, at least we have Daughtry to right the wrong that is American Idol. Everybody give it up for the new Number One video!
Well, that is all for this weeks Countdown! Can Daughtry hold on to the throne for a second week? Or can John Legend secure is 3rd straight Number One video? Or can Bennie K or The Game capture the Top Spot? Don’t forget about Namie, can she pull as Shamrock and take the crown again? Tune in next Friday which is PAYDAY so it is PARTY TIME!! Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out.
