Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:29:11 -0400

Hot Chip’s fifth album is a sincere, expansive declaration of romantic love.

Stream In Our Heads now.

I don’t think I’ve talked about it too much here, but my love for Hot Chip is expansive and I’m always delighted to discover a new album is out.

Have just realized it's no longer May and people can stop making REALLY TERRIBLE, NO GOOD, CRAPPY MAY JOKES.

gingerhaze:

I tried to combine the military-style badassitude of Renner Hawkeye with the fabulosity of his classic outfit, specifically Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Hawkeye. This is what happened. Because it takes a real badass to rock the head-to-toe fuchsia look, amiright??

Have spent the morning watching Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Makes me feel like I’m six and eating grilled cheese and watching cartoons before going to work with my dad :)

Wedding Song Upgrade of the Day: The Piano Guys take on “Pachebel’s Canon in D.” Here’s their explainer:

It’s the same 8 notes over and over and over again. The good news is, it’s easy to memorize. The bad news is you don’t know when to stop. There’s a rumor floating around that says Pachelbel either died while writing it, never finishing the cello part, or that he dated a cellist and it did NOT go well. This arrangement is dedicated to all the cellists that have fallen asleep while playing this song…or at least wanted to fall asleep.

Ahem…all the bitter cello-malice aside, Pachelbel’s Canon in D (written in the 1600′s) has stood the test of time — celebrated as the most recognizable piece of classical music. We like to call it the “one-hit wonder of the 1600′s.”

[thepianoguys]

things i am a fan of in general: non-traditional use of cellos; cellos; pretty much anything anyone has ever done with a cello; THIS

if you’re a musician and you have played this, you know EXACTLY where these guys are coming from. bless.

NON-CELLISTS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH OF A FUCKING LIFE-RUINER PACHELBEL’S CANON IS. IT’S LIKE. THE WORST. THING. EVER. If you make people perform this live at your wedding then I will make certain to vomit into at least one of your flower-arrangements.

There’s a blog called Fucking Florida and I’m not following it? Fixing that immediately.

Three servings per box?

More like one serving of a three course meal.

I might not be interpreting serving correctly. Don’t judge me. I also tried to buy beer at 3am. I don’t know what’s going on anymore.

Eating an entire box of mac 'n cheese by myself.

I am so, so pleased for Renner.

This is actually how I walk through campus. I am constantly thinking, “I will murder you if you talk to me.” Needless to say, it works excellently.

the common sense guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse:

Wed, 30 May 2012 13:30:34 -0400

gyzym:

So, in the wake of reading this terrifying shit, Postcard and I started chatting, as you do, about the zombie apocalypse. Here are some things Postcard and I enjoy: zombie media, common sense, and YELLING ABOUT STUFF. Thus, for your reading pleasure, please enjoy our simple twenty-step guide to NOT DYING in the unlikely event that a zombie apocalypse ravages humanity:

IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL APOCALYPTIC SITUATION, ASSUME THAT THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING: running water (this includes toilets); anything that relies on electricity (this includes gas pumps); anything that relies on natural gas lines (this includes gas stoves/central heat); basically, anything that relies on there being a factory of some variety at the other end of thing you want to make do stuff. THAT’S ALL GONNA BREAK. THIS INCLUDES THE INTERNET. Thus, the most important thing to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse is:

RESEARCH. For as long as you possess the internet, do everything you can to learn as much as possible. Research edible/medicinal plants (or seriously, go into a bookstore and loot your shit a guidebook, they’re not large, they sell little tiny ones, you can put it in your pocket, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE NOT DO THIS). Research, from available information, how the zombies work/which of their senses are functional—for example, if they operate largely by smell, you want to work on smelling not alive. If they operate largely by sight, DON’T LIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT. And speaking of fires…

I just realized I wouldn’t last long in the event of zombie apocalypse. I only have 90 days of thyroid meds. It’s all downhill from there.

Zombie apocalypse coming soon

Holy jesus christ. Leaving work at 3am, I thought the roads looked a little hazy and the air was a little charred, but right now (now that there’s light)? It looks downright scary outside. Like, beginning of the apocalypse, major metropolitan cities ablaze-type scary.

And finally, Push It. Because you can’t talk about Salt-n-Pepa without it. Besides, this and Shoop are what sparked this whole thing anyway. And I love this video. When I think Salt-n-Pepa, I see Salt and Pepa dancing with Spinderella above.

Mon, 28 May 2012 16:37:48 -0400

Because I am Salt-n-Pepa blogging today, I feel an obligation to throw Whatta Man in. Personally though, I can’t stand it. I know, I know. But someone somewhere has decided that the song’s beginning needs to be overplayed and I can’t hear it without some measure of revulsion. Unfortunate, but there it is. Damn you, someone somewhere.

Mon, 28 May 2012 15:56:32 -0400

I tend to be picky with covers. Hew too closely to the original and I wonder why you even bothered. Stray too far and I start feeling like it’s unrecognizable and barely a cover. This though? This is fun.

And I’m gonna take this opportunity to point you to Bad Cover Versions. It’s an addiction.
