More Chuck Norris News…

More informing news on the Chuck Norris front, seems that our favorite martial artist was supposed to have played the evil sunse in Karate Kid but didn’t want to be associated with the Cobra Kai..

The role of Sensei Kreese was originally written for Chuck Norris. Rumors emerged that Norris turned down the part since he would not consider having his name associated with a villainous character and did not like the idea of a karate dojo being depicted as villains. However, when asked about the story on The Adam Carolla Show on February 9, 2006, Norris insisted that he didn’t turn down the role – he wasn’t actually offered the role. Norris noted that he was already playing leading roles by the time the movie was in production. thanks wikipedia….

Hot on the heels of a series of DFA dancefloor funk twelve inches, comes The Juan Maclean’s Less Than Human, recorded at Juan’s New Hampshire home and Plantain Studios, was mixed and produced by the DFA and Juan Maclean. This former member of Six Finger Satellite aligns metallic synths, cowbells, samplers and even “robot stuff” to create tracks twinged with doom and glory; pulling singular life experiences and far-out, mechanical inspirations into the mix.

and I kind of figured I would put the other electronic act which is an import from the UK.. they kind of remind of a sweet 80’s synth act with some smooth rhymes

At the tender age of 7, Alexis Taylor began listening to Prince and dancing on his bed to the sounds of Dirty Mind and The Black Album, a habit which has continued into adult life. Meanwhile, Joe Goddard began heavily grazing on hip-hop records in the early 1990s, a diet which consolidated into an unusually passionate relationship with records by the Souls of Mischief and Madlib. The duo collided during an impromptu wrestling match in the school playground, and the result was ‘Hot Chip’. Soon enough, the funk began to tell, and with the addition of artist Owen Clarke on synthesizer, Felix Martin on drum machine and percussion, and Al Do-it on pretty much anything he can lay his hands on, Hot Chip have embarked on a new era of sonic exploration. The band like to think of themselves as a modern day pop group with the spirit of Brian Wilson, the passion of Public Enemy and the niceness of the Neptunes. Hot Chip have a sound balanced between the soulful and the experimental, and they try to have a sense of humour too.
