playlist (stuff i've been listening to a lot that i could find vids for)

a long video playlist with no overlaying thesis is like using way too many words in a blog post to describe something boring (kinda jerky) but that's what this is.

Ida Maria - Oh My God


Coconut Records - Microphone (had no idea this band involved jason schwartzman until just now when I youtubed that mess)


Cut Off Your Hands - Turn Cold


James Yuill - No Surprise


Jason Lytle - It's The Weekend


Alaska In Winter - Berlin


Fanfarlo - Luna


Crystal Antlers - Andrew


Papercuts - Future Primitive


Woods - To Clean


The Maccabees - Love You Better

Holy EVERYTHING!

flabbergasted and impressed by this weirdness.

there's more, what the what? Can't they at least add some elevator music or Switchfoot to make this less unsettling?

this has got to be for some stage show right? Zoobilee Zoo on Russian Broadway? Then I see this next one and i begin to think they are just the eye candy at some discotech. Bikini clad dancers are so passe.

I'm definitely imagining things and need to go to bed.

fuck I can't take this. it's all too Matthew Barney for me to sleep well.

So Many Canals!

Oh this makes me nostalgic. It's been so long since I've run around Europe with my lady lover in tow; deep kissing at Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, La Sagrada Familia, all those obelisks. So many canals! It sucks though when you get to Rome and start drifting apart. But the journey's the thing am I right?

I've never done any of that, :(. Get me out of here.

that's the Jam

this new PJ is pretty good. I want to keep listening to it over and over, feel free to do just that right here, right below these words, keep clicking, don't bother me none, it tickles a little but I like it, keep clicking, yeah that's it, oooh, just like that, mmmm.

I don't necessarily agree with either viewpoint. Pat Buchanan is occasionally goofy, but his logic here is sound. The raw calculus behind affirmative action in 2009 America is questionable. Maddow's point that this is good for America because it makes us happy about our progress is specious, I think. But taking the historical long view, Sotomayor on the Supreme Court is good. 100 years from now things might start to make sense because of controversial/progressive steps like this.

weird, wild stuff in our nation's capitol

kinda like Reverand Wright but way weirder....I don't know, is this liberal paranoia or something deeply scary?

"til I gotta a buzz like that nigga Chris Mullin"

If you were iffy on either Wale or Lady Gaga, this might make you believe at least a little bit (sure we're late to the game, but enthusiasm counters).

first of all, saying nigger to indicate a white dude is way more prevalent than most whities are privy to, so I like when that happens. Second of all, Chris Mullin really rocked a hard core buzz cut for most of his professional career. This was after he sported a shag 'do during his alchohic St. Johns years. He's a Brooklyn mofo to boot. Lots to love.

3rd of all, the Larry Bird comparisons in the above piece are egregious. This was still back in the day when white players (who were inevitably slower and good shooters) inevitably got compared to other white players, inevitably Larry Bird. Come mid to late '90s, (around the time Keith Van Horn (who dunked frequently but was still inevitably white and slower) compared himself to Derrick McKey (black)) there began a movement to end the racial profiling of tall white forwards with perimeter skills. Who cares, right? Somebody, I say.

Autotune is a joke.

some youtube sensations are too good to ignore...Autotune The News
