On Stereogum

I fucking love you for linking to the Eddie Izzard bit, because every single time someone mentions Berlin, that bit runs through my head. Every. Time.

Hahaha! "Where did THEY come from?" Wow I almost completely forgot about this video. Ann pretty much mimicked my exact reaction. But, wait - she "went to different schools" "together" with Mark Twain? I am so confused.

Haha! 'This band is no Shins.' That is the funniest thing I've heard all 2009! Pretty sure they did work with Phil Ek. Yep. Just did. Quit crying.

All right. I'm going to bravely step forward and humbly say, I don't get it. I'm going to arrogantly say I've tried to like this band cus I agree with Stereogum 90% of the time, really, which is why I come to this site, but I have tried and tried this band, just streamed this album several times today and you know what? I fucking hate them. I'm laughing writing this, maybe I'm missing something (I'm not) but if this is the best album of 2009 I'm going to shoot myself now. I'm hoping I'll eat my words, I've been wrong on my 1st impression a (very) few times before, and I hope to be proven wrong in the end but a 9.2 on P4K? I'm calling Emperor wearing no Dirty Projectors underwear.

Yay for Crystal Antlers - it's so their time. So, so so good. DEFINITELY see them live if you can. You won't regret it.

WHEW. I thought I was losing my frickin mind over here, as just last week or so was the Premature 'Ejaculation' (heh. nice one.) of Dragonslayer. I say y'all can HAVE Dirty Projectors as long as I can still cuddle up and sleep with Dragonslayer in peace b/c that album is BYOOOTIFUL. Best of 2009? Didn't MPP come out like ten years ago already? (kidding.)

OMG you guys. Seriously. You have to lay all the LAFFS all in one night? The League, while in my real life dream time, is my worst nightmare (dudes, fantasy football, latent sexism, etc.), was, in show, totally ridiculously funny and adorable. And 30 Rock? Is bringing it. For real. I love that show so much I wanna squeeze it.

I just got around to 30 Rock on hulu, and praise be. Thank the Gods of LAFFS that this show just gets better and better. I literally laughed out loud so much that...let's just say I had the room to myself. "Cold pizza better than hot pizza? That's insane." Will Arnett? ACTUAL elephant in the room? Cut the baby in half, I will take the top half, cus that's the half with the face? Loooooooots of Love, over here. Lots. Of. Love.

Exactly! Thank you. Slumdog was about being Indian, from the slums, parent-less. Darjeeling was about 3 highly privileged white dudes trying to 'find themselves' in India. To compare the two is inherently racist or at a minimum, entirely ignorant and egotistical. It's like saying Easy Rider and The Godfather are the same movie because they both take place in America. Like, HUH? Completely different stories, struggles, cinematic eyes...but in the end Wes did answer his own questions. I just don't think it's a question that even deserves merit, but here I am yakkin away on my own point. I'm done now.
