For Cleo...

Cleo has been blue lately because we are seeing Brandon in a couple of months and she's been feeling a little...well..inferior. So I just wanted to let her know that not all men dig scrawny chicks. Plus, you friggin rock!! And you got them fake pretty eyes that came with the suit.

Does Anyone Miss Me? I Need Love Today.

I guess I'll get it from Fergie. Shoooot. That girl is OFF THE HOOK YO!




(Sorry....the video is on Youtube but has been disabled. Dang.) LOVIN' this. It makes me sorta happy and stuff.

Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band Ft Brandon Flowers- Thunder Road

Oh.My.Gosh.

You know I had to post this. What an awesome song and what a wonderful duo we have here! This is freaking priceless.


By the way- this was filmed this past weekend in The Netherlands at the Pinkpop festival. Looks like a great time!

The audio isn't that great, but I had to share!

Natalie and I share a hair stylist

I have two kinds of music I listen to. Leslie Feist and everything else. Almost everything can be placed in one of those categories. It's pretty convenient. The majority of what I listen to falls into the first category. I generally only listen to the second when I am alone. Mainly because most of it is pretty embarrassing. Not if you were, oh, I dont know.. a 13 yr old girl. But most folks tend to snicker when they see a 30ish bald guy with prominent chops cruisin down the boulevard in his Saab with all the windows open jammin to Cansei de ser Sexy or The Ting Tings. Not that I care mind you, its just, well, I tend to avoid embarrassment unless it comes knocking. Well.. knock knock.

The video made me smile but the song is the thing to which I am referring. It's by a band called "Natalie Portman's Shaved Head". Natalie Portman is not in the band. She is apparently vaguely aware of their existence and has a standing invitation to all of their shows but so far as not availed herself of that opportunity.

From Wikipedia:

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head was formed by Luke Smith and Shaun Libman, who met while attending The Center School, an arts-based college preparatory school in Seattle. Their early work was centered around keyboards and drum machines, the only instruments that the pair knew how to play at the time. Their decision to start Natalie Portman's Shaved Head was made in the food court of the Space Needle, in 2005. The name of the band is a reference to Natalie Portman's physical appearance in the film V for Vendetta. Smith and Libman's first written songs for Natalie Portman's Shaved Head were about "fruit snacks and partying". The band claimed one of the reasons they formed the band was to get girlfriends.

How cool is that?!

"Dude, we need to get some babes."

"Totally."

"You know what chicks dig? Guys in bands. I read that in Cosmo so you know it's true. You can play the keyboard cant you?"

And voila! Natalie Portman's shave head. Done.

So swallow your pride, roll you windows down and feel the joy of what two college dudes trying to impress some chicks can do with a couple of Keyboards and a drum machine. And what appears to be heavy doses of influence from Napoleon Dynamite.

Metric- Sick Muse

This one's going out to a not-so-special-dirt-bag-player with no sense of humor.

This loser wouldn't know funny even if it DID text him back.

You know who you are.

Watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life



You had better back off.

Leave my girl alone.

Gingers pick of the week....Cage the Elephant.

Chops is sucking it up with his Manly Music Monday performance, so I figured I'd do my pick early.

Cage the Elephant comes from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Their album debuted in 2008, and in my opinion was totally underrated.

This single, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" hit #32 in the UK. As for America, well, I got nothing to say about the over processed garbage screaming into our living rooms on a daily basis. Well, I do, but you've heard it before and it gets old.

Come now people...go buy their music...they rock. Or check out their site which I have so kindly linked in our sidebar!!!

My Bumpa...A tribute!!

My dear ol' Bumpa just celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday. In his honor, I felt inspired to post a few songs. Now, as you already know, I am in no means a country music fan. Frankly, I think most of it is pretty retarded. I know it's harsh, but it's how I feel and you know that I'm not one to mince words.

There are a few times when country music is acceptable. And whenever I visit New England I get them all bottled into one. Here they are...Riding around in a pick up truck on the dirt roads of Stark, New Hampshire at a whooping 15 MPH (I'm not kidding people)with a 70 year old man as he sucks down a package of Marlboro reds and drinks Budweiser from a Styrofoam cooler. Every now and then stopping so he can pee on the back tire of the pick up because he has drank so many of those Budweisers from the styrofoam cooler.

See...that criteria makes country music TOTALLY acceptable. Remember that the next time you get a hankering for it.

So, in honor of my Bumps, and his 70th birthday. I would like to post a few of "the classics" from his pick up.







Also, country music is acceptable at Christmas. I would die without my Jim Reeves and Alabama Christmas albums.

Happy Birthday Bumpa...I love you!!!
