Smoke
Smoke - by Neil Gaimen
Nicholas Was...
...older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.
The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.
Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves' invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.
He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.
Ho.
Ho.
Ho.

christian side hugs
from the huffington post:
"Christian youth groups finally have an alternative to normal, aka "front," hugs. As we all know, face to face embraces run the horrific risk of a clothed crotch graze. The Christian Side-Hug (or the CSH, as the kids call it) rids us of sin, as the only below the belt contact will be some good old-fashioned hip on hip action.
To help the side-hug fad sweep the nation, let us present this hardcore rap song. Yup, side-hugging has hit the streets. The group has as many emcees as the Wu-Tang Clan and as much power as a barbershop quartet.
Look out for the ominous sirens blasting on the track. Clearly, these are gangsters on the run from the law - probably from side-hugging up a storm! One emcee (wearing his bandanna 2pac-style no less) admits to taking part in the forbidden front-hug. But don't worry, God. He's married.
At the end, they all simulate getting shot and dying. We can only hope there are side-hugs in heaven."

Less Than Jake - City of Gainesville/State of Florida
This is my favorite song off the new Less Than Jake album, which has a habit of getting stuck in my head for days at a time.
The video is just one their drummer made about their recent tour, but I'm posting it for the tunes, so look at whatever you want.

the men who stare at goats
Thought this was pretty interesting/crazy. 5 part documentary, have only watched part 1, hope to watch the rest after work today.
Scotty don't!! - ish
The band is from Glasgow, Scotland and people from Glasgow are known as Glaswegians, so I don't know if that has anything to do with their name but Glasgow and Las Vegas are definitely involved somehow :)
The song was released last year as a single and it got my attention for sure.I've also listened to the rest of the album and there were few other songs I liked.
Two chords, C and Fmaj I think...fucking brilliant.
Lyrics are awesome and generally the meaning of it is interesting.
and yes...killer scotish accent adds up to everything.
You judge yourself whose music style they picked up.They certainly have influences but my genre judging is poor.
Ok guys, enjoy it!
Extremely popular band in Europe.They're British.Maybe you've already heard of them but I'll try to introduce them to you.If you like this get yourself the rest. Good material.
Great song.hear it....
Finally my favourite, Biffy Clyro. Scotish also. They got their name by fucking with somebody's "biro" that allegedly was known as Cliffy biro. and now you get it how they got it. it is called spoonerism?!?! whatever
I like their older stuff, but generally I like their music.
Here is a great song.
Mon the biff!!!!

andrew bird - oh no
really love this song. i think the album version is just a little "fuller", but this version is great too. looks like he uses a massive delay at the begginning there with this violin. neat. this 'noble beast' album is pretty good.

I figured out the way to make a beard in photoshop, so I kinda tried and this is what I came up with. So I wanted to hear a word or two from a real PS guru :)

Peace out

fleet foxes
well, i've been really liking these guys lately, so i thought i'd post some vids for y'all.
upon finding a couple, i realized their videos kinda suck. but its something to look at whilst you listen to these amazing, folky harmonies. these two are my favorite songs off the album.

high speed camera + bullets + various materials = mesmerizing bliss
FIRST THING TO DO:
FULLSCREEN and mute this fucking rave bullshit music and pick a 10 minute song from your itunes library to listen to, personally, i chose 'kissing the beehive' from wolf parade's mount zoomer. fits quite nice. i have a feeling neil young's 'cowgirl in the sand' would be equally nice, but any 10 minute song will do. trust me, please.
SECOND:
enjoy.
and just TRY to stop this video midway through. i fucking dare you.
amazing how fluid and jiggly things are at ONE MILLION frames per second. i only wish they labeled the materials/bullets/guns used for each shot.

new joke.
So these old asshole white guys get together. And they're like, "Dog!" No, something scarier. Hmmm, Alligator! No, no one will believe it.... Ok, Lizard, it's smaller. No, no. Something else.... Hawk! Yes that's menacing, yes. But make it more common. Sparrow? No, now it's not scary at all. Chicken? Yes, they are dirty. It's better. What about just "Bird?" Ok, wait a minute, yes. Just Bird. That sounds pretty good. Put it together now.... Ok, Bird. Flu. Bird Flu. Yes, that will scare them! Now just get some random footage of chickens to put on CNN. Chickens always look like they could have the flu. Get a bunch of them together and they look like a filthy flu rave! That will SELL much more saline I MEAN flu shots! BIRD. That's a great name for this tangential harmless strand. We can probably get two or three years out of it. Track its progress. Tell them it's nearing epidemic, or even more (fucking useless word) pandemic! 7 people got it in Uraguay, 3 in London! It's getting close to real, people (stupid Americans). Get your vaccines, "git yer flu shat!" Oh no, 58 people have it world wide! There's a case in Iowa, oh fuck! It's pandemic! Don't tell anyone that 36,000 people die of regular flu every year in the US, emphasize the 58. It's growing.
Uh oh, no one is scared any more. SALES are down. Hmm, Frog? Rat? Pig? Close, but too dirty.... Swine ?

drunk has hard time getting more drunk
maybe he wasn't drunk, but whatever's wrong with this guy, i don't think a 12 pack's gonna help his cause, but what do i know. it's like he had weights on his pony tail, holding him 'back'.
heads up, just turn the sound of, the music sucks and there's no other audio.
