April 1st, 2037

MUSIC

Pitchfork, oh how ye have fallen. Today they interview the last living members of Los Campesinos!, in a conversation mostly dealing with their mid-20s transition into a blues/folk style. They also have a free day's worth of music, including three new LPs by the newest band to sign to Young Money, an indie pop act from France called Sun Sun Bubble.

Discodust has uploaded a week's worth of music today, most if which is silence-core. It's a genre worth getting into; there's a particular piece of silence (Kimdritz's "Isoscope Majesty") that is really invigorating, possibly a breakout track for the genre.

HipHopDX is still covering hip hop for some reason, despite most established hip hop bands and labels switching over to the metal genre. Speaking of which, Jadakiss's new album "Dragonfire Axemen" (due sometime in the next hour) is supposedly a tribute to Weezy's classic and revered transition from rap to rock. What a great work that was!

FILM

Wes Anderson's political thriller, The Presidential Ark, premieres on Youtube tonight. Starring seasoned vet and skilled thespian Zac Efron, it supposedly reimagines the events directly following President X3R28's powering-on. Soundtrack by the talented Fred Durst.

McG's new nostalgia picture, 2015 is Snopes! is set for a release mid-tomorrow. Look for a cameo by infamously neurotic method actress Miley Cirus, playing herself immediately before marrying Johnny Depp.

Slumdog Millionaire XII comes out on Myspace Video in a few minutes. Reputedly the best in the series since Slumdog Millionaire VIII, this return to form deals with some the epic serial's less prominent characters, like Douglas, who infamously assassinated Lord Xexthon midway through the love-it-or-hate-it departure Slumdog Millionaire X: X is for Xtermination.

WEIRD

It turns out, cloning still isn't perfect: ten percent of all clones fail to attain standard immortality. Bizarre!

WORLD

No news.

PERSONAL

Oh man, I think I took the wrong Emotion today; I've been kind of melancholy. Oh well. I'll take a different Emotion in the morning.
