Musings of a Night Elf: Kiyommi's Guide to Azeroth

Notice the smoke apparatus by the fire.

Night Elves have that effect sometime.

Stepping out of character for a sec...

So yesterday, I go on a music binge. I pick up 3 CDs: The X-ecutioners' Built from Scratch, Lengend of the Wu-Tang Clan, and Lady Sovereign's Public Warning. All of these CDs are excellent.

The Wu, the greatest Hip-Hop tag team in history, got theirs on lock with hits like C.R.E.A.M., Wu-Tang clan ain't nuthin' to fuck with, and Gravel Pit. The X-ecutioners show their prowess as producers and beatmasters, and Lady Sovereign has a...unique lyrical style that flows into place with every verse. This album has such memorable songs as 'Love me or hate me' and 'A little bit of Shhhh'. She also has a funny moniker as being 'the biggest midget in the game'.

All good purchases and enough to keep me occupied in a sea of crappy music. Give these a spin.

The Time of Retribution.

Anime on Radar: Basilisk

"To the one I love, please die"

Sounds kinda Shakesperean when you look at that statement. If you like blood, beauty, story, and action, then Basilisk is the title for you.

This is the telling of the story between the Iga and Koga ninja clans. A fragile peace was all but shattered by a dishonorable act of deception, causing all hell to break loose between the warring clans. Let me tell you that the body count stacks up quick in this anime. More bodies hit the floor than in Ninja Scroll and Blood Reign (a.k.a. Curse of the Youma) combined.

The central characters of this series are Gennosuke of the Koga and Oboro of the Iga. Both are intertwined in a Romeo and Juliet love war that members of both factions will never give their blessing for marriage. Anyone who's ever read Shakespeare can only guess how this will turn out.

To the ninja fan, this is a definite pick up, or something to put on your radar, at least.
