tv on the radio - “crying”
i am a sucker for some falsetto & some funk. sexxxxy. dear science is gonna be one of my faves of the year. i just know it.
my friend april just opened her very own etsy store - check out her wares!
stars - “14 forever”
i’ve woken up multiple times this week with this song in my head so it’s either a) good or b) catchy as hell or c) both. OR d) i am reverting to adolescent musings. i love multiple choice.
did you know that you can buy the most excellent sad robots EP direct from the source over on sadrobots.ca for a mere $4? it’s totally true. and a steal, i tell you!
“we promised to bust a move, keep it funky, and always be each other’s pimps.”
i’ve always loved this SNL sketch - amy poehler is a comedic genius.

lulz. this billy joel reference made me crack up for 5.2 seconds.
ian cohen’s p4k review of CWK’s loyalty to loyalty.
this sentence, while kind of vicious, is great.
“here’s the thing: for me, it’s not doom and gloom….it’s never been anything but hardships, a financial black hole, a lack of quality sleep, and paper cuts … so why would i ever expect that to change? however: i love what i do and will put out records as long as it’s actually possible…the things i look forward to are the amazing records that our artists entrust me with spreading the good word about…i look forward to getting the weird letter from a random girl in ohio thanking me and telling me to “keep going”…i look forward to knowing that when i get to the end of the road i’ll be proud of what was created…”
a-men.
the little ones - “oh, mj!”
ooooh, this song too. chair dancing wednesdays, FTW!
ra ra riot - “oh, la”
“oh, la/we’ve got a lot to learn from each other/we have got to stick together”
this song makes me hap-hap-happy & i may or may not dance a little jig in my chair when i hear it. so excited to see them tonight at the rickshaw!
whoever posted this in my soulmate™.
awwwww shiiiit. that explains it. eff’n stars and planets and crap!
kris delmhorst - “1000 reasons”
i meant to post this yesterday for the birthday girl, stephdub, but was distracted by matthew sweet. and work. :)
every time she sings “would you meet me in the windy city” it makes me think of our very own favorite chicago transplant! plus, for some reason the vibe of this song just screams steph to me. anyway, happy birthday lady!
Would you board a plane if you found out that the pilot had a heart condition and could go at any time, and although there was a co-pilot, the co-pilot was narcoleptic? I mean, sure, the chances of the pilot having a heart attack in mid-flight are probably very low, and sure, even if the co-pilot HAD to take over, it’s only narcolepsy, so really there’s only a chance that the co-pilot would fall asleep at the wheel… but would you board the plane? Better yet, would you gleefully pay your hard earned money for a ticket onto that plane, and then enthusiastically rush to your seat?
Note: I’m not implying that John McCain has a heart condition or that Sarah Palin is narcoleptic, I’m just, uh, musing out loud about a totally random rhetorical question.
matthew sweet - “farther down”
okay, so last week i was talking about third eye blind (don’t ask) and how they had that “graduate” song on the can’t hardly wait soundtrack. i haven’t talked or thought about that movie in AT LEAST 3 years a year 8 months, so imagine my joygasm when it was on tv this weekend! squeeeee! anyway, this is my fave song from the soundtrack.
matthew sweet reminds me of high school. and my LDBFF* nick. i’m pretty sure he put a few m.sweet songs on the plethora of mix tapes he made for me. perhaps i will dig one up later & post the contents of said mixtape on the interents for all to see! oooh! as i recall, he was (ahem - is) a rad mixtape compiler…
*long distance best friend forever. he moved away after our freshman year, but guess what - we are STILL BFF - however many years later that i won’t say because it will make us seem old!
an interesting read on TATE’s written response to p4k’s gutting of their album & the implications that this exhange has on the indie scene and indie media as a whole.
