January 21st, 2009

MUSIC:

Say what you want about Pitchfork being snobbish pricks or whatever- when they have a good target, it's solid gold. (I'm still waiting for a return to "we-rate-your-album-with-monkey-piss" form, though) In addition, they've got a ton of Animal Collective goodies. Yum! Oh, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are taking a break.

DiS interviews Fanfarlo. The little youtube bits sound fantastic; I'm excited about this one. Also, the Joy Formidable sound so rad that I've pre-ordered their album outright. And BLK JKS! What a day to be DiS.

Fader's freeloading some OJ Da Juiceman.

Fun shit over on Disco Dust! Their Phantoms track is groovy, and same goes for the Treasure Fingers remixes.

FILM:

Slash has on the scoop on a very well-done bit of Watchmen promotional material.

AICN has some rumblings on the live-action Bebop.

WEIRD:

Spectacle begets spectacle; the First Lady's hair stylist is getting a reality television show. Worth it because, well, I can call her the First Lady now.

Kanye, uh, really wants ripped jeans. He also predicts the future.

WORLD:

I'll keep it simple: the New York Times has an outstanding write-up of Obama's first day.

PERSONAL:

Slightly busy day. Scratch that... ridiculously busy. Classes, walking around everywhere, going to Wheatsville... what an odd day. Oh, and people are working on the thermostat at last!

But I need sleep, so that bit will suffice.


2009 FILMS SEEN: 1
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 84
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, still cold. But not for long?
