It's a great EP too.

I just think that LP is sort of the full-length version of a movie. Yes, short films can be good, but nobody takes a director seriously until they come out with their full-length movie.

Only done individual mashups so far but I'm currently working on an extended mix (2 1/2 hrs +). I will upload to mixcloud/soundcloud within the next week or two.

You can peep the mashups here:

I spent six hours cleaning before the house appraiser came, and he was here for twelve minutes.

Ah, well, now it's spit-shined for my new potential roommate, who is visiting this afternoon.

Bolded all the ones I've liked. Amon Tobin and Justice are my two favoirties from the list, they both get heavy rotation in my MP3 player.

I'm surprised you didn't care for Lemon Jelly, I didn't even know that was possible haha. Daedelus I semi-agree but they are very good live so that changed my perspective a bit. Have you heard the new m83 album? Very different than the older stuff, very good.

I would suggest checking out Ratatat and Gramatik first, both are fantastic.

A grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of soup is true gourmet cooking, in my books.

Appraisers usually don't look for cleanliness. They typically take a look at the roof, any exposed plumbing and electrical, and the general structural integrity. Stuff that can't be wiped away with a cloth and some Windex.

A grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup is the most basic comfort food I have. I almost never eat it unless I'm heartbroken about something.

It's what my mother always made for lunch pre-step-dad, when she was a single mom with two kids, I assume because it was cheap and fast. I have a very emotional reaction to it.

I got on-camera as an extra for a Lifetime original movie yesterday! Its premiere will most likely be the one time in my life I will ever watch Lifetime.

After our first three games of Risk Legacy, stickers were stuck and cards were destroyed.

Oh yeah, reading something like this would've seemed quite normal to me three, four years ago.

I just found out that every year on Feb 15th, there's a Phil Collins Day Parade here.

Goddammit, Brooklyn.

Quote:

"For the past five years or so, Brooklyn has had the opportunity to celebrate the man, the legend, that is Phil. Every February 15, Phil is honored and adored by various events that have taken place throughout the borough. Whether it be giant pinatas, Phil's face on a pizza, outdoor movies in the cold, or a mass tagging of Phil's face around town, there has always been a celebration. This year is no exception.

I'd like to welcome all of you to the first annual Phil Collins Day Parade. February 15. There will be floats, dancers, a marching band, and tunes, Parading down Franklin St. in Greenpoint."

Following the Phil parade, the celebration will continue with famous clips, songs, and the Phil Collins cocktail at Shayz Lounge (130 Franklin Street, Brooklyn).

Photo and text from last year.

I respect Match Cut for basically ignoring the Grammys. But at some point, we're going to have to talk about what happened here.

And yet the industry blames piracy for declining sales...

So the Foo Fighters won a bunch of stuff....

Seriously, I didn't even know they were a band still, let alone a popular one.

I thought The Kings of Leon had taken over their place?

I haven't heard the Foo Fighters' most recent album, but I'm really quite skeptical of that band producing something beyond 'above average'.

Yeah. I always classified them as "solid." Absolutely nothing special, but good.

But then again, that's pretty much exactly what the Grammy's awards (although not always).
