OK, the FaceBook app for WordPress is rubbish, so here is a post the is primarily to try a different option. Oh, and the track and film clip are funny too…

On MediaWatch episode 23 2012, Jonathan Holmes came out with a pearler of a comment when pointing out the errors of Triple J’s ways on a particular matter. After cutting away from a film clip that was part of the Holmes’ report, he came back with, “Totes Amazeballs, hey”. That, to me, is gold.

I have now seen a terrible ‘remix’ pop up on YouTube so I think someone out there needs to do something with the sound bite. Maybe a dubstep remix is in order. Does anyone have a line in to Skrillex?

If you have the skills to make the sound bite into something more interesting, I have the clip right here (link below) for you to download it. When you make something from it, post it somewhere on the interwebs (available on computers now) and drop a link to your remix in the comments.

Breakdance (AKA B-boying/B-girling or breaking) is most athletic of the element of Hip-Hop. This dance style grew out of the street culture of New York in the 1970s as a constructive option for the kids on the streets instead of being part of the gangs and violence.

Breakdance has 4 major elements to its technique – toprock, downrock, freezes and power moves.  Showdowns and contests take place as a battle, were individuals or crews (group) go head to head, taking it in turns to show their skills. I went looking for a video that really encompassed all of these techniques in a battle mode, when a light bulb went off in my head. The film clip for Jason Nevins’ remix of ‘It’s Like That’ by Run-DMC is a fake crew battle that really shows everything. To quote DMC, ‘Check this out’….

I have been racking my brain on something to use for video of the week, and boy did that hurt. So to show that I am not just all about hip-hop, here is some Rage Against The Machine. Like most of what I listen to, it has some kind of message. I am still not sure what that message is though!

OK, the movie Step Up 2 wasn’t the greatest for plot, but when the director and one of the stars gang up on Miley Cyrus the result is great.

Step Up 2′s director John Chu and Adam Savani who played ‘Moose’ team up for what they tout as the greatest online dance battle against ‘teen idol’ Miley Cyrus and one of her dancers Mandy Jiroux. Adam and Chu’s crew is called ACDC….the Adam Chu Dance Crew (yeah, kind of lame). But the team they pull together for the second installment of the battle is incredible, from some amazing hip-hop dancers to big name stars.

ACDC’s second installment is below and surely is the winner. Check out YouTube for the other installments in the battle.

I think my LOLZ are funny, even if you don’t. Give them a 5 in voting no matter what you think so I can realise my dream….a LOL published on one of the ‘I Can Has Cheezburger’ sites!

Ninety-nine according to him. Count along as you listen, I think he may be exaggerating a little.
