The Hazards Of Flight

Okay, who here is Feeling The Post Thanksgiving blahs? This should do the trick.

The Hazards of Love

I found a used copy of The Decemberists CD from last Spring. There's a story developing throughout the album, which is a curious thing to find these days. It's not really grabbing me yet, but that may just be because it's more demanding than, say, a Ramones album. Fight Through Patiently and see what you think.

I Probably Shouldn't Watch...

but I can't help it. All signs point to my beloved Seminoles getting beaten like dogs by the Gators, but hopefully FSU will show up and make a game of it. Fortunately it's Jesus Tebow's last year so we wont' have to put up with him anymore. I am very much looking forward to a Florida/Texas championship game, though.

I'm Not Part of this System!

Andy Samberg - I Threw it On The Ground - watch more funny videos

Alright, if Jay Bastard is going to post muppets covering Queen, it must be time for an Andy Samberg video. I think these are about the only funny things left on SNL.

Happy Turkey Day

Shouldn't I be wearing a fez or something?

Nerdgasm

I'm not a huge Family Guy fan, but this might be funny.

Will You Do The Fandango?

I think this is relatively new ...

I Love Shit Like This

This is a scene from 2006's Children of Men. According to fxguide, the shot is a composite of London's Battersea power station and a bridge located over the M3 in Surry, but check out the Pink Floyd homage that you might have missed. Click to embiggen and look between the two chimneys on the right.

New album preview...

I've Found The Patience to upload roughs of all the new songs in the proposed running order. I'd dig some honest feedback regarding the running order. Songs are still fairly rough (and some are even missing some recent additions) but they're getting there. 'Off White Wedding' and 'Can't See You Anymore' now have horn sections and I recorded a new solo on 'Everything Was Fine' but these parts aren't on here yet. Jamie added some killer pedal steel and guitar to 'Natchez' and 'Heart's on a String' and blew my mind. Those parts are on here. Feedback people- and don't blow sunshine up my ass.

OK, I give up......where are all you assholes?

Report in please.

Cohen Live in London

Fresh off the show I saw in Durham, I thought I could interest you guys in this. Feel the Presence. Cohen's already excellent lyrics have taken on additional gravitas with age. This is pretty close to the show I saw, except that he played Famous Blue Raincoat and didn't play Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye.

Jarvis the Great

Interesting video here. A culture editor over at The Guardian.com was gushing about it and it does have a satisfying simplicity to it. Reminds me of David Byrne.

Hilarious AC/DC album review

From Popdose, a fantastic review of AC/DC in which song titles are translated for those who don't understand what the songs are about.

Tough

This is what Jay's daughter is going to be like when she grows up. I just know it.

Why no...

I didn't see Leonard Cohen in the last couple of days. Why would you ask such a stupid question?

Yup

I think I've Found The Passion for new music that I've been missing the last few months.

Moody Wednesday

Bastards, may I present The xx, a group of British 20 year olds. This song, "Crystalised," is the first single off their recent (August) debut album, which I predict I will be purchasing this evening.

Read reviews here, or visit the bands official site.

It's Good!

Finally caught this yesterday with the missus. Pretty funny as zombie movies go, and relatively scary as Woody Harrelson movies go. Good Sunday afternoon matinee material.

Anybody else seen it?

Teenage angst

I've never really gotten into Thom Yorke or Radiohead, but I must say I quite like this effort, which apparently is from the soundtrack to the latest Twilight movie, and is no worse off for that.

Might be interesting....

No U.S. release date yet.
