Today's blog serves two purposes:
1- I wouldn't say i'm hungover, but my brain feels like mush right now. I think if i start writing about something it'll give me the figurative kick in the head that i need to stop being a lump today.
2- I've found a lot of bands and songs that i really like. It is mainly due to spin magazine's website, with some help from Pandora's radio stations and the alt rock station on sirius radio.
And so, without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you my list... of stuff you just have to listen to.
Cold War Kids: So, I probably hear the cold war kids every single time my friend matt throws a party. Almost every time I say, "I love this song! who is this?" the last time he said, "if you ask me that one more time, i'm going to hit you." But anyway, I finally started listening to them sober, and they're still awesome. My favorite song is probably "We Used to Vacation."
Matt Costa: Pandora has this thing about playing Matt Costa songs no matter what kind of station I try to create. I guess it's because he has a very diverse style of songs. so no matter what kind of music you enter in, it's a pretty good bet that there's a Matt Costa song that sounds like it. He's on Jack Johnson's label, and you can definitely hear the influence. But i think he mostly reminds me of Ben Lee. His newest song, "Mr. Pitiful," was featured in the trailer for Ricky Gervais' newest movie. I think.
Mgmt: I originally saw this band on spin's website. there was a clip of them demonstrating the different types of dancers you see at festivals. it was quite funny. Turns out their music is just as entertaining. They're described as psychedelic synthpop. You can hear hear surf, and R&B influence at times.Their most popular single , "time to pretend," was in the movie 21. It's definitely one of their most "manufactured" songs, and strikingly different from my other favorite song by them, "pieces of what."
Port O'Brien- It's not really surprising that i like this band. It started with broken social scene, but pretty soon I realized i'm in love with pretty much any indie group that can keep the sound tight with 5 or more people. Their most popular song is probably "I woke up today." I'm kind of attached to the less popular acoustic version, probably because i heard it first. It's a tad slower, and more raw sounding. The singers are singing together, but the lyrics invoke alienation. "stuck on a boat" is pretty good too. I love hearing when a girl and boy harmonize well. which brings us to...
The Hush Sound: I'm a big fan of peppy, upbeat songs with semi-depressing lyrics (let's call them poignant, kay?) So when i heard "wine red" I got addicted pretty fast. Bob (guitarist) and greta (pianist) take turns singing for most of the songs. I like it best when they sing together rather than when one steps up alone, their voices just work really well together. Of the bands listed here, they're probably the only one where I like all of their songs across the board. "sweet tangerine" is a good one, as is "Lions Roar."
Okay, that's enough for today i guess.
toodles!

according to the rumors, my dreams are gonna come true!
Now that you all know i'm a nerd I'm going to go back to talking about things that are really effing cool.
So, it's been confirmed by multiple sources that after yanking our chains last spring, broken social scene has decided to come to state college this fall (youtube: 7/4 shoreline or fire eye'd boy). Yay! But i already knew that. The semi-big news is that The hold steady is in the works to
play here too! they'd be opening for drive-by truckers (I personally could go without, but they're alright). Furthermore, Vampire Weekend (you tube: oxford comma) and Tokyo Police Club (look up nature of the experiment or in a cave) are also both in the lineup for the coming school year.
In other words, two of my old favorites and two of my new favorites are gonna be in my town. Between that and the increased rent for a larger apartment, i fully anticipate being broke. Broke but blissfully happy.
Of course, i did get this information from a state college music scene insider, which means some of them may not go through. But i have faith.

More webcomics I love
So i'm taking a break from doing some interning work because reading teeny-tiny fonts was starting to strain my eyes.
You know whats fun? Research. So, rather than actually move forward on my own webcomic (really, it's getting there...) I've decided to tell you all about some more comics i love. So, without further ado:
1- Ctrl Alt Del
When I made the last list, this was one of the 1st that came to my head. But then i thought, "is there anyone who doesn't know about it already?" So, I omitted it. But then, whilst talking to a friend of mine i realized that not everyone knows about it... or he's just oblivious. Anyways, Ctr, Alt Del is by far the premier videogame based web-comic. It's basically about two guys who work in retail and a girl who's a pro-gamer (ah, to live the dream). The main character is lovably insane, and suffers from a crippling addiction to MMO's. It's comforting to me, since I once had a similar addiction, though I never tried to sell my best friend into slavery to support my habit. Oh yeah, and there's a robot built from an xbox 360. The author also does a bunch of strips to introduce the reader to the culture of gaming. They are all pretty hilarious, mostly because they are so true...

-These customers are the worst: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20070924
2- Flaky Pastry
Flaky Pastry is... weird. It's basically what would happen if you took all the classic fantasy genre characters and had them all enrolled in College together in some generic big city. I really can't explain it, but it's drawn fantastically. It can get a little wordy though.
-police officers are so helpful http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=65
-after i finish my spy training, i'll be able to do this: http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=36
3-Sub Culture
it takes place in a comic book shop. So it's all about comics, natch. anyways... it's a little generic in the characters, but i think the humor and drawing style makes up for it.
http://www.subculturecomic.com/strip31.htm
So yeah, those are some more good ones. It saddens me that i don't have more to add. but a lot of the webcomics i've seen as of late are boooorring.

I have a confession to make.
As much as I hate to say it, those wily Disney music execs have bested me. they finally produced something that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the pop-infested eardrums. Cheetah girls couldn't do it for me and High school musical was annoying (thats right, i said it!). I thoroughly made fun of Terry and Doran for loving Hannah Montana's singles way more than any self-respecting college guys should. Then I heard "Burning Up" by the Jonas Brothers. Surprise! I actually like it (probably not as much as my 9 year old cousin). I'm not sure if this is a step towards being less elitist, my brain becoming less discriminatory due to loss of brain cells, or just some sort of freak accident.

Just remember Disney: You may have won this battle, but i will win... the next battle. Okay, that may be a lie because i am now actually kinda intrigued by the movie camp rock

By special request #2
so I should be doing one of three things right now.
1) cleaning my room
2) laundry
3) exercising
Instead i chose option number 4! laziness.
So I'm surfing the net. which reminds me that Erin (who hasn't read this in a half decade anyway) told me to post about my favorite webcomics. She seems to think I'm the "artsy one" out of our friends. I just think I've got a lot of time on my hands and enjoy halfheartedly getting a new hobby every six months. But here's the list of my favorite webcomics:
1) www.xkcd.com
xkcd comics had a tendency to pop into my life via other websites. I always thought the comics themself were funny or poignant. But I always figured they were a one time thing, since i generally spotted them as posts on other sites. Finally a friend showed me that xkcd has actually been around forever, I'm just not very, "with it." Anyways....The comics are generally about science, math, or romance. here are a few of my favorite:
- This one's about romance http://www.xkcd.com/150/
- this one's about science. It's my favorite. http://www.xkcd.com/18/
2) www.questionablecontent.net
Do not, i repeat, Do Not search dot com. It's not good stuff... But this comic is one of my favorites. It takes place at a coffee shop and i really like the drawing style (probably because it's a little like my own). The most interesting character in my opinion is hannellore. She's certifiable, afraid of pretty much everything, but she's a genius. But really all the characters have really nice story arcs. It's sweet. Also, the author has two characters who are "anthro-pc's." In other words, they're crazy little robots that run around making trouble. One's a pc, one's a mac. It's adorable.
- winslow and pint size http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=805
- This is one of my favorites http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=792
- Hannelore http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=865
3) www.licd.com
Least I Could Do is a comic about a self-centered, womanizing jackass. Yet, the main character redeems himself time and time again. It's kinda like house, but without all the blood. He's also a huge nerd, which I like.
- What I would do if i had movie fx artists at my disposal http://www.licd.com/comic/20080314
- Our daydreams are very similar http://www.licd.com/comic/20060812
- He's also a great uncle http://www.licd.com/comic/20060425
- awesome http://www.licd.com/comic/20060527
4) www.girlswithslingshots.com
This one's in black and white most of the time. The main characters are two girls and their hangout is a bar. But, it's written by a guy and it's not melodrama. It is a very odd comedy. They get up to all kinds of hijinks and the main character has a cactus named Pedro who starts to talk to her when she's drunk. Also, Pedro has a scottish accent...
- Pedro! http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS151.html
- Hazel's a grumpy english major http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS007.html
- Jameson goes on a date with a blogger http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS034.html
5) www.vgcats.com
This one's all about video games. The original main characters are cats, but they branch out every once in a while.
- one of my favorites. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=263
- Final Fantasy... who remembers breeding these? http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=72
- Vg kills pikachu http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=1
6) www.dieselsweeties.com
Diesel sweeties is drawn in this really wierd pixelated fashion. But i kinda dig it. Though the plots aren't as great, it's pretty funny.

By Special Request
So, way back when a friend of mine asked me to list a bunch of action movies I absolutely thought he must watch. My recommendations for action movies tend to be a little odd. They are generally obscure, could never be classified as "good" movies, and are either somewhat exploitative or just plain wierd. I'm intentionally not focusing on the "best" or "most popular" movies for this list. Lets face it, if you watch movies regularly or are a guy, you should have already seen Die Hard, Bourne, Indy, and every movie starring Jackie Chan.
so...
Cynthia's list of semi-obscure action movies I'm not even slightly embarrassed to say I've seen.
5) Fifth Element- yes i know this is a "terrible" movie. But it has entertained me on numerous occaisons and it's nice to see where Milla Jovovitch started. I watch it almost every time it comes on tv. Plus, chris tucker is hilarious.
4) Grindhouse- I love Tarantino. and whilst Death Proof may not have been his best movie, it is certainly entertaining and better than a lot of other action movies. Planet Terror is a superb throwback to all the weird low budget movies of the past (right now the only one I can think of is killer klowns from mars, but you know what I mean).
3)Shoot 'Em Up- Clive Owen KILLS A MAN WITH A CARROT. 'nuff said.
2) Crank- I have a mad crush on jason statham. He first surfaced in Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and then again in Snatch. His movie the Bank Job was probably one of the best bank robbery movies to come out in a long time. He also played a small part in the remake of the Italian Job and was the lead in the Transporter movies. I could probably make this whole list about movies that Statham was in. But Crank is where I first fell in love with him. It's easily the most outlandish of his movies. I love it.
1) Leon: The Professional- this movie is probably the least odd of the movies on the list. Still, I'm always surprised by the number of people who haven't seen it. It is a classic starring Jean Reno as an assassin who is trying to protect a small girl from... somebody, Gary Oldman (<3!) as a cop chasing them, and Natalie Portman as the 12 year old girl. Turns out Portman was amazing even before she hit puberty.
This could be way longer, but I'm technically supposed to be doing work right now...
So yeah, that's my list... for my second "By Special Request" I'm gonna make a list of webcomics, as requested by Erin.

There's something to be said about having a hangout
For those of you who don't know my college habits that well, I pretty much live at the local coffee shop/bookstore. It has it's perks (hey-oh!); everyone knows me by name, they are extra friendly, i don't even have to tell them my order anymore (which is good, b/c I'm grumpy before I've had my coffee), occasionally i get to taste something for free, etc. But the best thing is all the crazy-friendly people i meet there. Which is where this story comes in...
So, I was sitting there, sketching out the web comic I'm thinking about starting, when these two guys walk up. They were probably in their mid-late 40's. One looked like a teacher. The other
looked like a mix between a lumberjack and a hippie.
The second one looks at me.
guy: You know about the Beatles?
me: huh?
guy: your shirt.
*i look down. I'm wearing a lime green Sgt. Pepper's shirt *
me: yeah.
guy: what'd you think of Across the Universe?
Now, since i had planned a whole series of posts on that subject (which i abandoned for media planning homework), I had my opinions all laid out. So we talked a bit about the movie, it's departure from classic movie-musical formats, it's portrayal of the time-period, the song covers, blah blah blah.
then...
guy: okay, last question. this is a two part-er. 1- If you could name one Beatles' album that everyone should listen to, what would it be? 2- same question, but you get to pick three songs.
Now, this is a good question. so here's my answer...
1) I'd pick Revolver for my album. I really kind of picked it as a reflex. But it really is an excellent choice in my opinion. First off, there's Yellow Submarine. This was the first Beatles' song i can remember hearing. It also represents their earlier stuff and their ability to keep things light. Then, Eleanor Rigby, Doctor Robert, and Taxman all show how they were icons who were aware. In a way that todays pop stars do not, many of their songs had social and political commentary. I also love Taxman because it's one of the few songs written by George (if i remember correctly). Good Day Sunshine, For No One, Got to Get You into my Life, and I Want to Tell You are seem to be their classic songs. They were real crowd pleasers, but somehow more than just pop songs. Then, of course, Love You To and Tomorrow Never Knows show them branching out from pop.
2)
a)And I Love Her- I feel like it's important to showcase one of their early, teeny-bopper songs. But I feel like everyone's heard the classics, you know, Help or Can't Buy Me Love. This song is good because it is so sweet that it effectively shows why the entire female population fell in love with them.
b)Get Back- This was mostly just because I love the songs where they are just talking and goofing around before or after they record (quick, where's this from- I've got blister's on me fingers!!!). It shows how they can tell great stories in four lines, though this particular story makes absolutely no sense. I'm actually just making this shit up, i just love this song.
c)Mother Nature's Son- This is one of their hippie songs, I think there should be one on the list.
I realize none of these songs would be on Rolling Stone/Spin/ whatever's top 20 Beatles songs list. But, that's why I think they are important. They aren't their best songs. They aren't the most well known. But what's the use of making everyone listen to the songs they already know about? Also, I'm not gonna regurgitate whatever music critics/ my father told me. These three songs are the ones that have stuck with me for whatever reason. They're the ones i like, not because someone told me to, but because i can feel it in my gut. So... yeah.
your thoughts? that's what the comments section is for. I heart comments!
Also,
I was super psyched that there's someone else out in the world that likes to make up random questions and quiz people they've just met. Yeah, i have an arsenal of those. They make the conversation more interesting than the typical "what's your major?" crap whilst simultaneously separating the cool people from the people who have nothing to say. I like people with opinions.

I realize none of these songs would be on Rolling Stone/Spin/ whatever's top 20 Beatles songs list. But, that's why I think they are important. They aren't their best songs. They aren't the most well known. But what's the use of making everyone listen to the songs they already know about? Also, I'm not gonna regurgitate whatever music critics/ my father told me. These three songs are the ones that have stuck with me for whatever reason. They're the ones i like, not because someone told me to, but because i can feel it in my gut. So... yeah.
your thoughts? that's what the comments section is for. I heart comments!
Also,
I was super psyched that there's someone else out in the world that likes to make up random questions and quiz people they've just met. Yeah, i have an arsenal of those. They make the conversation more interesting than the typical "what's your major?" crap whilst simultaneously separating the cool people from the people who have nothing to say. I like people with opinions.
