then why not give the video some meaning? that's exactly what Simian Mobile Disco has done.
"what exactly do you mean Spain?" he asks. "why do you say they're not getting enough food."
this video would disagree.
awesome. disgusting. trashy. beautiful.
and the song's pretty damn good too.
yet another example of the nerds of the world being 1. awesome 2. insightful and 3. really funny.
enjoy...just try not to indulge.

one if by land...two if by 80s influence and NME.
remember when you got that feeling...down there...and how you knew that something was...up.
it's happened a few times before (i.e. the Strokes...then Franz Ferdinand...then Arcade Fire,) and as I manically go about searching for new music, new bands, etc. i've noticed that the horizon is changing...musically that is. and thank god emo is no where in site.
seriously, i'm not a religious man, but thank you Jesus!
is this an upheaval in which our friends up north (O! Canada) are to be dethrowned because the Peasantry have added a dance beat and horizontal stripes? are the britts invading via neons and sirens? New Order ala Echo and the Bunnymen aka 24 Party People who are born slippy listening to Moby's Go? And is their big sister Debbie Harry who we never got over on prom night?
I'm apprehensive to jump on the band wagon so quickly and call it "Nu-Rave" (though I like this term very much) but I have to admit, the whole nu-new wave movement (which i've been enjoying from the get-go) is shifting directions. it's hard to explain, but i can sense it. the music i'm finding (and loving) suddenly has a different feel to it.
latel i hear something, and am constantly taken aback. my eyes widen and my head says "hello...you hearin' this?" there's something different.
it's like going to a different city and drinking their tap water...and liking it.
regardless, it's still indie. it's not on the radio, the kids in public school aren't listening to it, and the critics have yet to catch on. which is all fine by me. it means show tickets will remain inexpensive and within my grasp (fuck you ticketmaster.)
it's what the 80s had in mind, but the 90s achieved...without this decade calling Gen-X'ers sell outs. which they are.
it's all that, rolled into an organic-eco-friendly-whole-wheat tortilla. my friends...this causes a stirring in my loins.
and i can't help myself but to take my hands and stick 'em down my pants...that's how happy this makes me.
for example...check this:

remember - I give head before I give favors. do you know what this is?
identify what movie that's from and you'll win a prize. not really.
just wanted to pass along some other videos i'm quite enjoying right now...err...have been for a while.
it's funny...just putting these up make me realize that i do miss MTV - you know, the one that played music videos (I have Cable, thank you very much.)
why didn't I want to become a film maker? i mean i do, but damn did my aspirations take me to a strange place...
until the next time i chose to not focus on the task at hand and find some cool videos...that was a favor.

blogging killed the vj...no wait, MTV did.

thus begins my search. happy thursday!

meez thinksis sooooooos funnies totally
has yous seens these?
one of my favorite things about my job is that i'm fortunately exposed to a lot of things before anybody else. and then there are the moments that somebody else will tell me about something and then i'll feel left out...stupid...shunned...unintellegent...whorish almost - simply because they told me instead of me telling them.
reglardless, I can't find anybody that had heard about this trend. but now you have. it's called lolcats.
so these are kind of funny...pictures of cats with sometimes funny lines in typeface impact in an odd language. but they're only kind of funny.
till you learn about this.
The Lolcat Bible
it is the entire bible translated into lolcat language...with lolcat illustrations, you know...to make sure you get the whole picture.
my brother may have pulled my favorite excerpt so far...
1 The church of the Thessalonians, Ceiling Cat haz it. Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus sez to it: "Grace, you haz it. Peace you haz it. Ceiling Cat sez it."2 We luvs Ceiling Cat for Invisible Wants!!!3 We did remember you, and we did not forgetted it. Ceiling cat saw.4 Ceiling Cat won election! Hooray!5 Ceiling Cat not just speak, Invisible Cat speak too.6 And ye loveded Ceiling Cat, but Invisible Cat hurted you (in good wayz).7 Examples? U was it!8 Ceiling Cat? U did shout it. Now can stop plz.9 You did luvz Monorail Cat, but waz wrong. Ceiling Cat says O RLY? Now you do luvz Ceiling Cat.10 And we waiting for Ceiling Cat to make babies from the Ceiling. And he maded a son, but we broked it, but it got fixed.
read did outlouds plz..thens uproarious and shouted it to ceiling cat.
now can stop plz.
fuck you, Kanye
i have a love/hate relationship with Kanye west. i love that he doesn't get the respect he think's he deserves...maybe because he's a dick.
And I hate that he got credit for writing the best song of 2007 in Spin Magazine (there's a reason I don't subscribe anymore.)
i only wish I could not love Daft Punk for working with him, but I can't...they're brilliant.
but it's dumbfounding how many people don't realize that Kanye just fucking rapped over some empty spots of "Harder Better Faster Stronger" for his hit song "Stronger."
Please...his song wasn't anything new. Discovery came out in 2001. it's practically classic rock/dance/synth/pop/house.
anyway, I digress before even getting started.
this, my friend, is a gift.
who ever did this has a lot of extra time on their hands. And I'm glad (for once) that they do.
