Flight of the Concords: Do You Like Ladies?

This video has me sincerely considering learning how to roller skate. I guess I would have to go through the whole "learning-how-to-skate-and-falling-in-public" thing which is not awesome. If I could somehow just go straight to skate-dancing, I would be all over it.

Campaign Song Roundup

So like all sane Americans I am a Barack Obama supporter. I began as an Edwards man, but then the capitalist war machine (or something) took him out, so I switched my support to Obama. The whole time I kep this a secret from John Edwards because he is mean ass drunk. So now Obama has Edwards' support and all is right in the world. One of the reasons that I  like Obama is that, somehow, he has the enviable talent of inspiring random people to write him totally not shitty songs about him. Hillary not so much. Let's take a look:

1) This song by TI$A also has the participation of Daedelus. This video is shot in Venice beach, so they are repping Obama and LA. h0ll3r!

2) Let's not forget the Obama reggaeton song, the only reggaeton song I have listened to in about 2 years.

3) This track, by Keith From Up Da Block is a parody of the classic Din Da Da. Don't sleep on this dude's cover art either. Fucking class.

4) We finally come to my personal favorite: an Obama song recorded by the inimitable Cocoa Tea. I FUCKING LOVE COCOA TEA. Check out the preview and buy them shits at TTL.

Let's be fair, though, Hillary does have a song. Guess who sang it? CELINE FUCKING DION. A CANADIAN SUCKFEST.

YAY! Extraterrestrial Brothers in Christ!

I realized after I wrote this title that someone might misinterpret it as a potshot against the Pope's looks. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that THE VATICAN SAID THAT ALIENS ARE TOTALLY LEGIT! Holy fucking christ! You have to love a church who thinks that Muslims are totally bogus but refers to aliens as our extraterrestrial brothers. Classic.

Bones

Here we go, I am going to say something really embarrassing: I am watching Bones right now. And I am also really enjoying it. Angel is really charming and apparently their secret lab is staffed by hot chicks and lame dorks. Its true. I'm sorry to ruin your image of me. 

I Heart John Mayer

This dude understands himself so well, it amazes me. Seriously, watch this video.

Nico

Ok, so let's say you lived in a parallel universe. This parallel universe had everything that our universe has, with the exception of older siblings and Urban Outfitters. Let us suppose that you were walking down the 14-year-old-anemic-hipsterless streets of this universe and you saw, in a shop window, a video of Nico singing. Or wait, maybe you just heard her in the local circuit city while you were trying to buy a middling-to-low level stereo system. Would you think that she rocked? Or would you think that maybe she was a little tarded and so it was mean for people to pretend to like her? I honestly don't know what I would do. 

BTW I fucking hate Lou Reed. I saw the movie of Berlin and that shit was so horrible I wanted to claw my eyes out. And then he talked! Christ. I also was sitting by two, middle aged new yorkers in thick rimmed glasses who spent the whole show jerking themselves thinking about the East Village. I've been there. Their Whole Foods is just like mine.
