J was Rick Moranis for Halloween. As such, he was extolling the glory of the Jews to me. This happened at some point during his rant.

  • J: When the pharaohs wanted the pyramids built who did they call? Not the Muslims. Not the Christians. The Jeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwsssssssssss.
  • Me: Tell me you didn't just make a reference to pre-Jesus Christians.

GPOYW: I don’t usually get in on these, but I rather liked my costume this year edition. I threw this together in the last few days before Halloween. I was pretty proud of my Sherlock Holmes. I also managed to solve the mystery of P-Flem’s missing shoe. I make a bitchin’ detective. Just saying.

shadeofgrey: This is how my cat sleeps. With his tongue out. Because he has a big nose and a parrot face and it gets a giggle out of me every time. Add this to the list of adorable things cats do. Right next to where Natalie’s cat lifted the corner of the blanket and cuddled up next to me under it when I slept over there this weekend. Cute as heck.

Cursive - I Couldn’t Love You

It took a while, but the new Cursive album is finally growing on me.

I had the same issue with this album. It took a bunch of listens through for it to really grow on me. But now I’m pretty in like with it. I do miss the obnoxious, over the top horns from Happy Hollow though. But I guess they wouldn’t quite fit with the overall sound on this album, so perhaps it’s for the best.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Since I first saw a documentary about this girl about two years ago or so it has been my dream to release her back into the ocean a la Free Willy. I just wanted to set her free back into her natural habitat. Now my dreams are crushed. What a cruel world.

Paper Planes by The Da Vincis
originally by M.I.A.

Ok, I already know what you’re thinking… another Paper Planes cover? I know… I know. (Hey, at least it isn’t MGMT or Kings of Leon, right?) But this one is really, really great. These three 17 year old kids from Jackson, Mississippi really get music. It’s catchy, it’s pretty funny, and I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it even if you hate the original. By the way, they’re releasing their debut LP, See You Tonight on Tuesday.
—indieandyy

Reblogged after approximately 20 seconds of listening. Awesome.

i lol’d as soon as i heard the vocals

Great stuff, especially the chorus

Better than the original? You bet your ass it is!

retropolitics: flutterknife: One Nation Under God It’s a tiny bit uplifting (and I’m neither an American or a Christian) and very very creepy. I’ve never before noticed a resemblance between Thomas Jefferson and Lucius Malfoy, but it cannot be unseen. Also, the Vietnam-era Soldier near him reminds me of Philip Glass. The link identifies every face in there - some of which is very broadly informative and interesting and charming, and some being disturbing. And I don’t mean Jesus holding the U.S. Constitution, which is worrying in itself! I notice that the party on the right there includes Satan, a Smug Evolutionist Professor, Liberal News Reporter, Mr Hollywood, a pile of bills including Roe vs Wade, and I’ve already mentioned Satan. I should probably feel a little angry about this painting which is oh-so-skilled and friendly and quite misguided, but it has Theodore Roosevelt and Benjamin Franklin in it, so I guess it is okay. Thomas Paine is cool too, and I like how he doesn’t seem to be damned to hell for his antireligion. But mainly Roosevelt. I prefer this roll-over version. There is also this version and this [very bloody] version. This gets a reblog for two reasons. The first is that it’s just plain funny to me. I love when people try to make a point through art but don’t really know much about the subject they’re painting and come off looking stupid. I’m a bit of an asshole, so this makes me laugh. Also the sheer Lovecraft-iness of that last link in the previous reblog would have earned it a place on doodlesanddroolpuddles all by itself. I heart H.P.L.

Cover of “Kids” by MGMT

this is amazing, janaki.

This is really pleasant sounding, but she looks so sad the whole time.

I agree with both parts of that statement.

Boy, you's the one who's ignant

On Friday at work one of the guys I work with called me ignorant after I said I think baseball is boring and I don’t like it. Ignorant? He could have said he disagreed and thought I was completely wrong, but ignorant? Let me also mention that he had spent the last five to ten minutes telling me how boring and stupid and completely unwatchable soccer is. So apparently ignorance is something he just assigns randomly to people who don’t agree with him. Although, I also wouldn’t be completely surprised if he didn’t actually know what the word meant. Because at 30 years old and being married twice, he just learned what a C-section was a month or two ago. Previously he just thought they cut the vagina open wider to let the baby out. So yeah, I don’t think I’m really going to take that comment to heart and work on being less ignorant too much.

Notorious BIG and Miley Cyrus - Party and Bullshit (In the USA)

Absurd mashups are on par with rap songs performed by non-rap artists on my list of hilarious things.

Modest Mouse - Autumn Beds

I love this album more and more each time I listen to it.

In other music related news my Mountain Goats record came, but the card for the digital version was not in with the record. I’m am less than pleased. Now I have to steal something I already paid for so I can listen to it when I’m not sitting next to my record player. Does that really even count as stealing?

A post about a post

I wrote my first real post for Riot! on Monday night. Maybe check it out and let me know what you think. And follow along if you don’t hate it, yeah?
