i'm loving it...

the new single by bat for lashes, "daniel."

the song is really beautiful. the video kinda reminds me of those fruit of the loom guys getting stuck in bjork's "human behaviour" video.

but the guy in the end with the totally 80's karate kid headband is making me wonder if she's singing to daniel-san himself...coincidence? genius? the world may never know.

this one's for the mothers...and Mr. T

so yeah, i know. i haven't posted in a while. but this being a special day when we all show thanks for our moms (and thanks for not personally being a mom), i thought it necessary to post this video gem. i hope you appreciate it by treating your mom right (apparently this involves NOT using "yo mama" jokes).

i still can't figure out why eddie murphy's "party all the time" was a HUGE hit and this somehow escaped the pop music charts and the cultural-idiom standing it deserves. i never knew mr. t was such a mama's boy AND an eloquent wordsmith. anywho, on with the show...



OH, and if you skipped out early, go back to the last 3 seconds when the illiterate chick from "Summer School" gives us some genuine words of wisdom. still trying to figure out if she did this before or after the aforementioned film. it's a pretty great cameo, as i've never seen her in anything else, ever.

yay! Tiga!

ok, so the 80's throwback thing is in full-swing. sometimes i'm a fan and sometimes it's annoying. but i'm finding myself very much a fan of this one. great/horrible green screen usage, stupid/amazing costumes, creepy old guy in bad suit.

it works!

weirdest video ever...i'm in love. plus, its helping me to recover from the awfulness that was this day's draw with Arsenal. damn those gunners! damn them!

oh, right....back to the video:

what i'm listening to...

Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event

fine american product: the BodySnake

with the BodySnake, you can "safely reach your between your legs"!!
just watch the commercial. really and truly, its awesomely bad*.

*see french-manicure hand-modeling.

and of course, proudly made in america!  

(free foot-scrubbing donut when you order now!)

bodysnake.com

yay! it's april!

the best part about starting a new month is that i get to change my calendar!  i realize that for most, this is probably not as entertaining or exciting as for myself, but maybe...just maybe, you'd be just as excited if you had a calendar at beautiful as mine...

ahhh, fernando!  the picture that they chose of you was not so flattering.  i guess, with it being "unofficial" they probably just picked whatever images on the internet that weren't copyrighted.  

anywho, i have chosen a much better one.  yay!  can't wait 'til may!

video of the day (triple threat): INXS + The Easybeats + The Lost Boys

= magic.

so i was listening to The Easybeats 'cause i love them, and it came to my attention that one of their songs sounded extra familiar...and that's because in my boredom/cleaning-fest of last sunday, i watched an amazing film of my childhood, "The Lost Boys."

and realized soonafter that INXS had covered said Easybeats tune for the film.

so here you have it...great 60's band + hot 80's singer + teenage vampires from the '80s (not to mention the corys)!!!

enjoy.


A) INXS - Good Times with Jimmy Barnes - Easybeats

p.s. i wanted to be jami gertz for years after seeing this movie. that is, of course, until i saw her on "Still Standing." then i was just sad. banishment to CBS territory...who deserves that? no one.

heading to ohio!

yes, i am heading to ohio tomorrow for work. and while there, hope to sample the amazing offerings of skylines...the best in fast-food cincinnati-style chili. if you haven't yet had your own skylines experience, let it be said that you are truly missing out.

go to there. the best 3-way around. yes, it's called a 3-way.

also, will be meeting up with producer-extraordinaire, Sferro, for a real-life Heather head-to-head meet-up.

(have you noted how many hyphens have been used in this post?)

so, in order to celebrate my trek to the midwest, here's one from ohio's own DEVO:

video of the day: Band of Horses, "No One's Gonna Love You"

i think i've played this video about 30 times in the past 4 days.

video of the Day: Sia, "Soon We'll Be Found" on Letterman

a bit old, but really lovely. hand-dancing never looked so good.

addicted to love this song:

"so fine" by telepathe.

eighties sweaters are great. the amateur choreography is actually not doing so much for me. but i do like the singing in the aisle of the grocery...maybe because i can relate.

dude in the wig, though...don't get it. but i'm kinda into it.

if you can get over the whole "saturday night in a billyburg loft party" thing, the song is catchy.

it won't leave my head.
and now it's in yours:

i'm loving it...

the new yeah yeah yeahs single, "zero."

yay!


Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

What I'm Listening to...

Soko.

she'll kill you.

the album version is better, but stupid deezer won't let me embed it. plus, you can't see how cute she is without the video.



she also sings amazing songs like "I Think I'm Pregnant," "Take My Heart" which is way too adorable, and the song i relate to more than probably any other ever, "Shitty Day."

really?

i've never met a middle-schooler that would proclaim to love life as much as this girl. especially not in gym class. i mean, she's proclaiming it from mountain tops. PROCLAIMING!

p.s. i've also never seen hair like this that wasn't a wig, but sandra really knows how to work it by adding the sweatband in dance class.

i f-ing love this song...Video of the Day: Heaven 17, "Temptation"

yes. it's good.

Video of the Day: Martha and the Muffins, "Echo Beach"

TOTAL DEVASTATION

yes. it's true.

my dreams are smashed. there's really nothing left to say, except that i was the supposed to have his bastard!

Amazing Band Covering Amazing Band (ABCAB) ...

radiohead + joy division = awesomeness

Video of the Day: Bone Symphony, "It's a Jungle Out There"

best. band. name. EVER.

Lady of the Moment: Nina Hagen

nina hagen. an opera-singing, german-born dame that slightly resembles siouxsie sioux. only slightly more terrifying and with brighter hair. and her music is awful.

im kinda frightened and kinda in love. is that weird?



i mean, there's something to be said for speaking in demon-voice all the time. it's like if bjork was abducted by evil aliens who forced her to scream in a german accent and perform bowie in the year 1980.
