Holy shit, really?

Hey, "Shallow" is a real foot-tapper.

 

[corianderstem]

Obama was cruising for some new online porn, and this thread title piqued his curiosity.

"Enchanted" is really the "Stairway To Heaven" of our era.

I just saw this on the "top comments" of a Tupac music video on YouTube:

You say Justin Bieber-I say Tupac

You say Lil Wayne-I say Biggie Smalls

You say Drake-I say Big L

You say Soulja Boy-I say Big Pun

You say Gucci Mane-I say Rakim

You say New school-i say shut the fuck up

You say Pop-I scream Hip Hop!

You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face

92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop. Thumbs up if you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music

And it's the worst thing I've probably ever read in my life...well, wait...yeah, actually, yeah that's the worst thing.

Good lord.

wtf is "new school." that's no vague at all.

Thank the gods, someone copied that Craig's List thing I tried to link to yesterday:


For sublet, June 3rd - August 25th. 1 BR in a 2BR apartment in Dupont circle. Furnished, all utilities included.
I will be away for the summer in Denmark attending the summer-long Danish Cat Convention. You will share the apartment with 16 well mannered cats and 2 Roombas. The cats will occupy the other bedroom, and the roombas will be on patrol to help keep the hair situation under control. I will ask that you refill the cats' automated food dispensers once a week, and clean the Roomba filters every three days or so. Below is a brief description of the housecatmates:

Polly - shy, quiet, tabby
Bitnum - playful, clawy
Lightning - slow, old
Lighting II - slow, young
Bebop - paranoid, jumpy
Cappy - sneaky, grouchy
Apina - knowledgeable, soft
Grobor - Incessant, loquacious
Kyle - stylish
Leesha - aged, engaged
Somtorious - idle
Gleebok - green-tinted
Horatio - friendly, mild-mannered
Bananana - a little off
Hoppy - jumpy
Duran - pensive

Roombas:
Gregor - Robotic, kitcheny
Sandra - Robotic, hallway-y





Grobor FTW

Hey, I played a gig tonight! Little relative-owned restaurant, so pretty small, and all acoustic. But it was a sizable set:

1. Neil Young – Heart of Gold
2. The Beatles – You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
3. The Cure – In Between Days
4. The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses
5. Wilco – Nothing’severgonnastandinmyway(Again)
6. Allman Brothers Band – Melissa
7. Ryan Adams – Firecracker
8. Tom Waits – I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You
9. Saccharin & Aspirin, one of my own tracks
10. Fleetwood Mac – Dreams
11. Yo La Tengo – Autumn Sweater
12. The Byrds – I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better

Video may be forthcoming, I don't know how it turned out yet.

Reminds me of a living Achewood strip. Sounds tempting, but I think "apartment" means "locked basement" and "cat" "ball gag."

No offense, but I'd care more if it was JNP. We should be so lucky as to get an intimate gig from the likes of the JNP. I hope it happens some day.

Big.

I have to go to bed pretty soon, because tomorrow is Big Music Saturday!

At 9:00 AM, the live simulcast of The Met's new Die Walkure (!!!) starts in Long Beach at the Regal Cinemas. It'll be over at 2:30 or so, then tomorrow night The Black Angels (!!) open for the Kills(!!) in Pomona.

FUCK YES.

Big.
Music.
Saturday!

'CITED!!

 

[cobl04]

Possibly the best Pavement Song.

My favourite. I still need to move on from the best of to full albums.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Nobody checked out the new Goggles thing yet? I left a little gift somewhere on this site

 

[cobl04]

it says you have to have firefox. i have google chrome. too much effort

 

[Jive Turkey]

says it works with chrome.

 

[cobl04]

yep, it works. i took a one-second look, saw "you need firefox" and closed it.

...I'll find it.

 

[cobl04]

I don't get how to use it.

the world's colliding but all that we want is a shady lane.

Just go to any site, then click on the goggle link in your toolbar. If anybody has written on that site, you'll see it. You can also draw your own stuff with the little pallet to the left. Most of the popular sites are just drawings of wieners at the moment

The Japanese National Party has been rocking coffeehouses for decades, yes.

Acronym fail, I know.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It's a masterpiece, really

 

[PhilsFan]

The fuck is Goggles?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Goggles

 

[No spoken words]

Someone show this fucking Canadian out.

 

[PhilsFan]

Goggles

I think I kind of get it out. But your gift could be anywhere.

 

[bono_212]

My computer died and I don't have the plug, so I can't hunt down this fine gift.

 

[Jive Turkey]

That's it, NSW. You're next on my goggle art list.


Any chance you saw this week's South Park? There was some excellent Canadian bashing that I'm sure you would've found to be a racist delight

 

[Reggo]

When you find it, it's glorious.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It's really not that hidden. In a forum rather than a thread

 

[PhilsFan]

I block half the forums on this site, so that probably does me no good either.
