Tuesday
New York summers are getting notoriously weak. Last year, all of June was rained out, and so far in '05 we've already lost May. Where's the Do The Right Thing type of meltdown I remember from years past? Nowadays, Rosie Perez would need a heatpack, not an ice cube. To warm you up, here's Spike Lee's heat montage, straight from the script:
HOT, HOTTER AND HOTTEST MONTAGERight now, folks, we're gonna suspend the narrative and show
how people are coping with the oppressive heat.People are taking cold showers.
Sticking faces in ice-cold, water-filled sinks.
Heads stuck in refrigerators.
A wife tells her husband, "Hell no, I'm not cooking. It's
too hot. The kitchen is closed."Men downing six-packs of ice-cold brew.
Faces stuck directly in front of fans.
A young kid cracks an egg on Sal's Cadillac. The moment the
egg hits the car hood it starts to cook. The kid looks
directly INTO THE CAMERA and smiles, then looks up to see
Sal, mad as a motherfucker, chasing after him.And how can I forget the papers, the newspaper headlines.
New York Post: "A SCORCHER"
New York Daily News: "2 HOT 4 U?"
New York Newsday: "OH BOY! BAKED APPLE"
New York Times: "RECORD HEATWAVE HITS CITY"
Okay, back to the daily grind:
1. Fox News admits bias!
2. Ayres does his part to make sure New York is ready for Devin tha Dude by uploading a gang of mp3s for you and yours.
3. Super dramatic pictures of "fuck off big storms" in Australia over at Tiny Vices (Vice photo editor Tim Barber's site.)
4. Also via Tiny Vices, check out this footage (footy?) of a kayaker vs. a killer whale. EDIT: nope, not really. It's a Korean Powerade commercial.
5. Chi-Kustumz, for all your customized Dipset t-shirt needs. The header on the site has got to be the worst GTA San Andreas knock-off I've seen yet, though. Like real fucking bad.
6. Indiana Jones IV cleared for takeoff.
