Xcorps #38.) XCORR-2 – This high RPM Xcorps episode delivers big horse dirt track racing action with continuing coverage of the CORR off-road motor sports race series held at the The Quarry race track in Chula Vista California.
Show host Jason Lazo opens it up south of San Diego in Chula Vista California right along the Mexican border reporting on the new CORR off-road races. The X HD cams rolled from all angles on this new style of motor sports with Jason trackside in the high horse jammin war zone of V8 noise, flying gravel and fast trucks! Suburban Records band Dirtball matches the action level with their song “RockRoll”! Raptillian Baby!
See high rev mud slinging action backed by a screaming spectator crowd of over 10,000 with Baja and NASCAR drivers banging it up and going BIG off kickers and berms easily covering 10 truck lengths through the air! It’s loud and Jason’s proud to be there covering all the moves over the mile long course carved into a mountain- an old stone quarry on the Mexican border- making for a great view of the action from the stands. Sub NoiZe Records band Hed PE pumps it up with their new video “Suffa”. Sick POV action shots here from cameras in the rigs as well as from an over-head cable cam capable of 100MPH+ provided by Perpetual Motion.
The next segment rolls hard and fast with more CORR carnage action and The Kottonmouth Kings presenting their rip-hop video ‘Living Proof’ to the XC audience. Nice Hollywood style shoot-out here to the dirt track action that includes mass destruction and vehicle punch-outs-flips-rolls and fire all over the Chula Vista track!
The segments pound on with more Sub NoiZe music from the Humble Gods pushing their tune ‘Destroy’-only the strongest survive! Another nice fit!
In the pits Jason talks to MX legend Jeremy McGrath about CORR and his crossover to 4 wheels! See what he says. After that the relentless high-powered action continues with Jason hanging with a Mariachi band and the sweet Monster girls! More shots here of high priced truck demolition along with mixed cool edit effects and insane airborne race action POV Xcorps style!
Rolling the pits J Man then speaks to CORR drivers Josh Baldwin, Ricky Johnson and Alan Pflueger who talk about their winning race strategies and what they think of CORR! See wide open race moves cut with a new video from the band Junkyard Prophet jamming their song ‘Remember Me’ presented by RIVE. Sweet fit!
After the break Jason returns to X Zone trackside for more dirt motor racing with the start of the Super Buggy category of off-road motosports fueled by Dirtballs song ‘Batter Swing’ – a song about baseball that works for these racing shots too!
Jason catches up with race event organizer Deanne Vernengo who talks about the races and the rugged track.
The show closes out with Jason ducking flying gravel and the Humble Gods doing their song ‘Destroy’ along more sick cable cam and in car POV video from Chula Vista at cool outdoor track called ‘The Quarry’.
CORR-Championship Offroad Racing is race genre born from the Baja Mexico 500/1000 races which led to the development of a wide range of tough custom 2 and 4 wheel drive off-road race vehicles including 800HP trucks with massive suspensions along with Pro Lite street style trucks, dirt buggies, trophy carts, ATV’s and Rhino racers. James Baldwin was instrumental in developing and bringing the races to the people with stadium style race events championed by Mickey Thompson in the 1960’s. Now many members of the Baldwin family help manage, promote and race in CORR events.
Keeping it fresh with CORR motor sports this show includes a new Xcorps music theme by host Jason Lazo!

Prams.

I haven't identified everybody in the picture yet, but they include my grandmother Mabel and my great aunt Elsie Webster. I suspect the baby in the leftmost pram is my mother. If so then this photo is from 1919.

Just as two super-sexy, professional killers are inexorably drawn to each other, so is the Mr. and Mrs. Smith soundtrack inexorably drawn to the obvious. Husband and wife shootouts? This compilation gets into the spirit of things right away with "Love Stinks" (J. Geils Band) and "Tainted Love" (Soft Cell). It follows up with more of the same: "You Give Love a Bad Name" (performed by metal band Atreyu, and "Used to Love Her (But I Had to Kill Her)" from the ska-punk group the Voodoo Glow Skulls.
Fortunately, this disc grows more interesting toward the midway point with Nouvelle Vague's Brazilian-style cover of "I'll Melt with You" and alterna-lounge act Pink Martini's "Let's Never Stop Falling in Love. The latter melts seamlessly into the lovely instrumental, "Assassination Tango." It’s on these more exotic tracks that this compilation shines--if only there were a few more. The middle of the disc is romantic--the rest feels like action movie cliche. --Leah Weathersby
