Erik Truffaz..

is simply a trumpet wizard!!

What can he do with it is sometimes simply unbelievable!!

If there is someone, who goes beyond the “traditional” jazz borders, than it is him!

1. Bukowsky
2. Yuri’s Choice

The heroes of mine 2. – Jay and Silent Bob…

These guys are simply fantastic! One only talks about sex, wanking, smoking weed and woman, the other one usually says 2-3 replies in the whole film…

It is, as said the guy, who wanted to buy some weed in Clerks 2: “I like them – they are funny”.

This couple was created by the imagination of the Kevin Smith – screenwriter, director, actor, producer…

This couple of funny drug-dealers was present in almost all of the Kevin’s films.

Their childish, sarcastic, ironic and sometimes gross humour is great and real fun.

And since this blog is about them, I will put here a few videos – I hope you will like them and maybe you will see the films – they are way cool, believe me!

So here we go – Fucking Short Version of the Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back!

Second – Jay’s Rap – Clerks II:

Third – Jay is dancing – Clerks II (btw. a great parody of the famous scene from the film…. guess – which one? 🙂 ):

Fourth – A few cuts from the Clerks II:

Fifth – great Mark Hamill (Luke – “Don’t fuck with the Jadi Master, son!”) – clash of the light sabers – Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back!:

Sixth – Olaf’s Berserker – Clerks I. :

And – bonus – the cool and accurately ironic and sarcastic – “porch-monkey” scene from the Clerks II:

Have a nice weekend!

Technical note:

Since one of my audio servers changed the policy and do not provide direct links, all of my musical blogs, which were linked to this server are dead…. If you try to play the songs and you will see “Error opening file”, this is the case…

I am really sorry for that, but I cannot do anything..

Blood Sugar Sex Magic…

Is the only album from Red Hots, which I like almost the whole.

So – I picked up a few songs, which I can listen to anytime 🙂

List of songs:

1. Give It Away
2. Blood Sugar Sex Magic
3. Under The Bridge
4. My Friends
5. Dani California
