I tell you about nice things and insist that you enjoy them or else you are a lame and you don't want to be lame, do you?

Good afternoon.

Today I thought I could tell you about some things that I enjoy to try to make you happy by letting you enjoy them aswell.

Music:

of Montreal: of Montreal is a band from Athens, Georgia. Making salty sweet, fast beat, Indie pop tunes about everything from black crossgendered 70's funk singers to songs about depression while living in Norway. Kevin Barnes, the singer-songwriter is truly a genius. The band has some sing-out-loud-while-skipping-down-mainstreet songs and some that are depressing and tragic. Being part of the legendary elephant-six recording label, of Montreal is a true tragic treat.

Recommended Albums:
-The Gay Parade
-Hissing Fauna, are you the Destroyer?

Gay parade is early of Montreal and is a childish and cute while Hissing fauna is a much more deep and sad tale about how Kevin Barnes transforms into his alter ego Georgie Fruit.

Los Campensinos!: Another Indie pop band from Whales. This 7 member band is spastastically amazing. Playing a plethora of cheery instruments, Los Campensinos! combines fast cheery instumentals with smart and interesting lyrincs. I really love this band and have been listening to them constantly since I found out about them. This band also reminds me of Tomato Soup Girl.

Recommended Album:
-Hold On Now Youngster

Movies:

From Dusk Till Dawn: What does Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, Robert Rodriguez, vampires, strippers and unbelievable amounts of action have in common? They are all featured in this movie! I just saw From Dusk Till Dawn and I have to admit that it is an INCREDIBLY over the top movie that is simply fun to watch. It is about two bank robbing brothers played by Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney who end up in a bar called "the Titty Twister" along with their 3 hostages and discover that it is an all-you-can-eat diner for vampires. Blood spatter ensues. A very funny and very action packed movie that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas: The epic Hunter S. Thompson story was made into a movie in 1998. Raoul Duke played by Johnny Depp is lookng for the "American Dream" along with his crazy samoan lawyer. They go to Lass Vegas along with, and I quote:

"two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls."

So basically they go on a psychedlic, drug fuelled trip (pun intended) around las Vegas andjust do crazy shit. It is a interesting film with great narration and acting by Johnny Depp and his partner Bencio Del Toro. Toby Maguire also makes a few funny appearances.

LISTEN TO LOS CAMPENSINOS! RIGHT NOW

IT IS AWESOME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

The Joy of Comparisons!

YAW MAN! WUT UP!?

Just thought I would post some random thoughts I've been having lately.

- I have concluded that these bands are very, very good: Modest Mouse and Ogre You Asshole. I've loved Modest Mouse for a long time but I sorta re-discovered them. I felt the joy of listening to their albums for the first time, again, which as you should be able to conclude, is hard to do.
Ogre You Asshole is a Japanese band and actually sounds quite a bit like Modest Mouse. They have catchy songs that you want to sing along to, but can't because it is sung in moon-language.

- I like the Norwegian stereotypical soss. This is rare for elitist hipster scum like myself, but listen to this. Soss are douchebags, but better. Instead of heading out do "da club" to pick up tanorexic semi-women, soss prefer to sit in the sun, bathing in their riches, their strangely homosexual clothing and their bad taste in (mostly) bad taste in music.

Also, just compare the two pictures, it really isn't that hard to decide.

The Nine...

This is a 3x3 of my favorite 9 albums in no particular order. Hard decisions were made in the making of this picture, but I decided that these are my favorite whole albums. I chose these based that they are all round great, not just a few songs. All these albums have great songs and multiple memorable moments.

They are as follows. Left to right.

1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2. of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, are you the Destroyer?
3. The Cat Empire - Two Shoes
4. Kleenex Girl Wonder - Ponyoak
5. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
6. Modest Mouse - Good News for People who Love Bad News
7. Brian Eno - Another Green World
8. The Unicorns - Who Will Cut our Hair when we're Gone?
9. CAKE - Comfort Eagle

I Saw the Original Pokémon Movie, 10 Years Ago ;_;

Good evening dear Children.

The time is 10:05, April 13th, 2009.

Did you know that 1999 was 10 years ago? that means the following things are ten years old:

* The Original apple iBook.
* The "1st" star wars movie
* The Matrix
* The first Pokémon movie
* The use of the Euro €
* Mahir Cagir (Hint: Proto-Borat)

What is even more shocking? think about this question quickly:

How long ago was 1970?


That's right, almost 40 years ago.

I added this cover by Stone Gossard of the Prince classic 1999, which i have as a vinyl single :3

Short Skirt / Long Jacket

This wonderful song by one of my favorite bands, CAKE, was the single from their album Comfort Eagle. I thought I would share it with you. Because, you know, Sharing is caring.
