The new MGMT album (Congratulations)

I got it yesterday. I like it more than the previous album- mostly because the production feels so much more organic (not just the music, but the overall approach). I wonder how many people it’s going to be leaving behind due to lack of easy club singles apart from the obvious “Flash Delirium.”

Awesome. Now let’s see what happens. I’ll let you know.

Really thanks for everyone who recommended me in. I’m not kidding, Tumblr (that kid with the messy writing) literally made me click a button that read “make me famous!” in order for me to appear at the top of the directory.

Blue Blue Heart
Bic Runga
Birds
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Bic Runga - “Blue Blue Heart” (3:34)

Every time I go to post a Bic Runga song I stop myself because I think I’ve posted too many. I only now just checked and realised I’ve never posted any! The only album of hers I own is Birds from 2006.

I find the album to be nearly perfect so I don’t want to risk checking out the others and possibly not loving the new songs as much. If you like this track, you’ll probably like the whole album it’s from. I wouldn’t share bad music with you.

#1 reason I could never own a bagel shop

I would eat all the bagels


Total Eclipse of the Sun
Einsturzende Neubauten
Silence Is Sexy
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Einstürzende Neubauten - “Total Eclipse of the Sun” (3:54)

“‘Ah’ says everyone”

The chorus of the song is what pulled me in to this track first, but the whole album is still solid a decade later. I’d suggest the first three tracks from it to anyone who is interested in more.

You’ll want headphones or speakers that play bass properly for this one.

Introducing: Tumblr BlackBerry App

Built by the same brilliant team behind the Tumblr iPhone App, v1 of the official Tumblr BlackBerry App is ready to download!

I wonder if editing posts with the BlackBerry version is as terrible as doing the same on the mostly-abandoned iPhone version.


My primary use of To-Do apps is to punch in quick titles for non-existent works as they come to mind.
Titles used: 41. Titles remaining unused: 70.

No matter where we are, We’re always touching By underground wires. —of Montreal,  “The Past Is a Grotesque Animal”

Gotta be one of my favorite lines of the last decade. What an amazing record.









Download MP3 of “The Past Is a Grotesque Animal”

My faves:
“Though our love project has so much potentialBut it’s like we weren’t made for this worldThough I wouldn’t really want to meet someone who was”
And
“None of our secrets are physical now”

Great record, great track (11+ minutes of great), and all generally about a sad subject. Download and listen even if all you dig is the “ooh-ooh-ooh” sound.

I love this.

While this is pretty awesome to see, I do wonder how many songs he made about dicks.

This is the only way I’ll watch Chat Roulette.



I’m dead and it’s all my fault

imdeadanditsallmyfault:

Shit, I put my cyanide pill in the same pocket as my Mentos again. What? Why do I carry around Mentos? Fresh breath, dummy. Oh, the other thing. Because, Doug, I know things. Let’s just say there was a lot of “intelligence” I collected before they kicked me out of the National Guard.

Comedian Kyle Kinane has a blog you might or not know about. It’s name is “I’m dead and it’s all my fault.” It contains some adventures written like those above, to a man named Doug.

P.S.: His album Death of the Party made me laugh a lot.

iTunes “Movies of the Week” March 14, 2010.
We pretend that Apple thinks highly of its customers and only  acknowledge the areas that we participate in as the high-minded  examples. Apple’s Movies of the Week feature chooses three movies from the iTunes Store and offers them for a 99 cent rental or a $4.99 purchase.
In the middle of the image above is the direct-to-video Legally Blondes, AKA “Legally Blonde 3,” and has rated at a solid 3.7/10 at the IMDB. I’m not singling it out- “Are We There Yet?” rates 4.2/10 and “American Virgin,” the lowest rated film of the three, earns 3.6/10. These might seem low, but please keep in mind that IMDB scores are generally considered to be higher than critic scores because the general public is allowed to vote on what they feel the quality of a movie is. These aren’t movies that “only fans understand”- in the case of American Virgin, it’s most supportive group (females aged 18-29) still only rated it a 4.7/10 on average.
