On Stereogum

I'm 17, and I remember being obsessed with the video for Beat It when I was 5.

I'm not sure if I should be grossed out by this or not.

1) What?
2) I know Vampire Weekend is my favorite obscure band. I always let people at parties know that.

The only show close to me (read: within a 5 hour drive of me) is in Chicago, and that show is tonight.

I fucking hate living in central Indiana.

Yeah, I noticed started seeing that commercial about a week ago, and all I could think was "The hipsters will not be pleased."

"Legendary musicians and Jamie Foxx." That made me laugh.

And may I be the first to suggest a new internet meme? LOLBidens.

They are being unnecessarily hard on them, probably because they're not Fleet Foxes.

1) Yeah, I definitely noticed that the timing of the vocals varies in the two version. It really bothered me at first, but I'm used to it now.
2) Thanks for the link!

I went to go see this movie, and I still remember sitting and watching the credits, going:

"There going to give Charles Dickens a writing credit, right? They must, because copyright. I'm sure they'll at least give him an 'inspired by' shoutout, since he pretty much wrote thi...WHAT THE FUCK???"

A Good Woman. DONE.

And I second The Land of Women, and also the Last Kiss. I watched that movie with my whole extended family on Easter Sunday because my mom though it was going to be a romantic comedy. Needless to say, it was one of the most awkward 2-hour periods ever.

I think the funniest part was not angela throwing her cat into the ceiling, but instead the fact that SHE WAS KEEPING A CAT IN HER DESK DRAWER. Like, it's her "at work" cat.

The albert hannaday thing was absolutely the least funny thing in the entire episode.

Also, the stanely moments montage was pure gold.

I like how so little was going on in whatever town this is from that they had time to fit a two-minute-long video of a beauty pageant talent into their NEWScast.
