Zakk The Comedian?


I don't know why. But among all the people I've known, Jiaoman Zakk's brand of dark comedy is disturbingly entertaining. I wouldn't go as far as calling it funny as in TV funny, it's just that the stuff he discovers are truly unique.

As ambiguous as it gets, albeit all his chatter about being proper, serious, polite, doing the right thing, being a righteous brother, I've come to notice his demeanor is a plethora of totally, utterly dark comedy.

Firstly, his choice of music, is by far the most "jiao" in the universe, that is, compared to anyone I've ever known. Most of us are either loving the mainstream stuff on the radio, rock, metal, pop, classical, dance or whatever. He goes against the norm and listens to all kinda shit with weird sounds, stuff that don't make sense (to undiscerning ears like yours and mine) at first light, but infectious and grow to like it at a later stage.

If i were to describe Zakk using a song, it would definitely be the following;

1- Dj DSL - I L.o.v.e. you 2002

Listen to timeline 0.16 : "Hi". This is classic Zakk Muzak. Hell, even the spelling "Muzak" is from him.

Now over to some dark and really mental stuff. For this, i gotta confess, it's really abit too dark for my soul.

2- Air - How Does It Make You Feel

Makes me feel kinda mental. Hey Zakk, listen to timeline 4.34 : "Well, i really think you should quit smoking". Anyway, this Air album, "10,000 Hz Legend", the whole thing is just JIAO.

This is some wanker music. Righteous brother type. Listen to the high pitched rap n trap. Funny stuff eh?

3- Quasimoto - Bus Ride

On movies. I will be forever scarred by the movie. "Salo". Yes, it was Zakk that discovered Salo. I don't know i should curse Zakk for this or to admire his profound knowledge of the extreme. The full title to this movie is;

"Salo : 120 Days Of Sodom".

IMDB describes it as follows;

"Four fascist libertines round up 9 teenage boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental and sexual torture"

Only Zakk is able to discover things like this.

So the question is : Is Zakk a COMEDIAN? Entertainer? Whatever it is, Zakk buddy, like Axl used to sing, you're ONE IN A MILLION. This one is for you brahh..

Guns N Roses - One In A Million
