Book Review: Yo Momma So Extraordinary

Yo Momma So Extraordinary

Yo Momma So Extraordinary
By Zachary Reese & Ethan McCreadie
Paperback
Quirk Books
Release Date: April 5, 2011


Yo Momma So Extraordinary reminds me of a Saturday Night Live-type skit in which the classic "yo momma" insult joke is turned around and made distinctly unfunny on purpose. Meant to be tongue-in-cheek, these un-jokes are supposed to set right all the wrongs done to mothers all across the globe by such standards as, "Yo momma so fat, when she sits around the house, she sits AROUND the house."

In this book, Zachary Reese and Ethan McCreadie bring us new classics, such as, "Yo momma so conscientious, she asks me to 'wrap it up' even though we all know she's been through menopause" and "Yo momma so loving and accepting that I almost feel a little guilty about what we did. Almost." [...]

Music Review: Philip Sayce – ‘Ruby Electric’

Posted: 10 Jul 2011 08:48 AM PDT



Philip Sayce
Ruby Electric
Produced by Dave Cobb and Eddie Kramer
Provogue
Released July 18, 2011 (UK) CD | MP3


Recently blues rock has seen a resurgence in quality in new, young musicians. Far from imitating their parents' record collection, the devil's new breed is creating blues rock that is entirely their own. Wah-wahing his way to the front of the pack is Philip Sayce with his debut album Ruby Electric. But unlike blues godfather Robert Johnson, I'm pretty sure Sayce did not consort with His Unholiness to unleash his devilish talent.

Welsh-born, Canadian-raised Sayce is a very talented guitarist with some imaginative solos. His guitar licks are a mixture of Jimmy Page and John Frusciante; lots of choppy blues funk but can pull out a rocking tune like the no-messin' "Take You Away." For me the very best of the young blues players is Joe Bonamassa, and Sayce has the serious talent to wail on that fretboard alongside him [...]
