You're so f*cking....right

Every now and then I get the urge to be one of those people who is the first to post something...or even someone who posts things other people might find interesting. But after searching for maybe 10 mins at the most, I give up and just post things you could easily find somewhere else w/ more interesting commentary...and better graphics.

Hot Hot Heat "Goodnight Goodnight" video
I have a crush on this band. I just think they sound cute. Not attractive, more like adorable. Like I want to put them in my pocket and carry them around, then when I'm eating lunch or getting a cup of coffee, I take them out and set them on the table and they can play a song for me. Yeah, like that. I particularly fancy the lead singer but only when he's singing in the video...in still shots, not so much. So that's my take on it.

The Book of Liz
Ashley and I are getting tickets to this b/c we love David Sedaris...and Amy too, b/c she's related to him. Also, I can't remember the last time I saw a play. That I wanted to see, not one that I said "Sure, I'll go see your play" then afterwards "Yeah, that was really good" even though I'd spent the entire time staring at the fire exit in hopes that someone really would yell "Fire" in a theater. You're never supposed to do that, you know.

Working at being cool is never cool
This is old, b/c I've had the magazine for 2 weeks and Stereogum posted it like 2 weeks ago...but it's just so accurate.

Oh Starbucks, you're so damn indie
Starbucks to sell cds by up-and-coming rock group Antigone Rising. Snap judgement: I don't like them. Maybe it's this quote from their bio: ...five women whose Lava debut, Act I, hits that place in your heart that Springsteen, U2, Aerosmith, and the greatest of the great bands reached in their young and hungry days. Really, what did/do I expect- I don't usually look to Starbucks to attune my musical taste. Even so...

"Choke"
Keep it, Keep all of your madness
drown in all your sadness
Choke on all your pain
cause I don't want to
Keep it, keep all of your sorrow
suffer through tomorrow
choke on all your shame

Rhyming is awesome! Watch your back Ashlee Simpson, b/c AG will take you "back to when rock music was a beacon in the dark …to a time when a band and its magic could draw strangers together, in an arena or under a starry sky, and make them feel like family …to a moment of contact -- between artist and fan, between the lonely and the loved -- that will live forever in memory …" A little ambitious, don't you think? Forever? Can't we agree on maybe 15 minutes?

Jamie Foxx
I just find it funny that this article is titled "Foxx plans first album in 11 years." Like someone has been waiting on this...God, I wish Jamie Foxx would release another album! So you know what this means...somewhere out there, probably on the $1 shelf at CD Wherehouse next to the Days of Our Lives Soundtrack or Nelson, there is a Jamie Foxx album just waiting to be rediscovered. Done....that was easy.

People keep trying to talk to me today and frankly, I don't feel like talking. I mean, I don't mind a conversation with a friend over IM or email, but small talk w/ the girl in the office down the hall? I'm not feeling it today. Or ever. Can't we just smile and say hello, every now and then say "Sure is cold today" as we pass each other going to and from the copy room? That's the unwritten contract I have with everyone else, even if sometimes they forget and try to ask me a question that can't be answered with either a yes or a no or a smile or a fake laugh.
