Kuala Lumpur of the day

This is Starry Eyes from the B-Side of All My Friends, released in 2007. It was part of a medley-mash with Freak Out, running something over 12 minutes.

It's not very fair to compare James Murphy to this.

Wussy.

This is Wussy. They're from the 'Nasty... and have their roots firmly planted in some mid-west indie rock. This video isn't the best, but dig around and listen for Muscle Cars...



I'm hearing a Karen-Oesqueness that needs a lozenge with underlying Built to Spill. Fronted by Doug Martsch, original member of Treepeople, from Idaho, 1988:



Again, not the best video out there, what's up with that side angle, dude? ~ maybe just watch the first minute or so to get the connection... And here we have perhaps the foundation for both of the aforementioned: The Flaming Lips, formed in Norman, Oklahoma 1983.

Yea! Breakfast!

This is more nutritious than anything in your kitchen.

My Shit is Perfect! of the day

Mother-Fucking BobLog III. His shit is perfect. Last night at Union Hall in BK, NY he did this with his guitar ~

And it was fantastic. It may have been one long song broken up over the 75 minute set, but it was one hell of a song. It was a wee difficult to desipher the lyrics through the fighter-pilot-helmet and the telephone-receiver-microphone. I made a few up along the way. And I think he would appreciate that. One song was titled Bah DaDa Da Bah NaDa Nah DaDa BahBah BahDaDaDa DaDa DA BahBah NaDaDaa Da ~ a title he repeated twice, for accuracy points. And he wasn't kidding. The song was about nothing at all ~ which he was very proud of.

Bob Log III also likes to share his knees with the ladies; preferably after dipping some of their tit into some scotch. [see the video section of his website: provided above] But alas, there was no tit-dipping last night. Sorry Bob Log III.

Video of the Day

School of Seven Bells

Burt, you sonnofahbitch.

Burt Bacharach has written a total of 70 Top 40 hits in the US, won three Academy Awards, six Grammy Awards (including the prestigious Trustees Award with collaborator and lyricist Hal David), is now into his sixth decade of composing and recording, nine #1 hits, 48 top ten hits, and more than 500 songs composed.

Burt's cool. He's allegedly involved in Dr. Dre's 2009 yet-to-be-released album Detox. And he used beats mixed by Dr. Dre in his 2005 solo album, At This Time; penning his own lyrics on an entire album for the first time since the late 70's. Guest stars included Elvis Costello and Rufus Wainwright. Yeah, bitches.

Burt. Happy Birthday you s.o.b.

More of same that hasn't happened yet.

p>
