Like many electro/indie dancey jams this song borders on Really Good/Sliiiightly Annoying depending on your mood, but not nearly as much as their hit Ice Cream...
New Young Pony Club - The Get Go

I <3 Darnold:

My friend Darnold started a Myspace page for his music. He calls himself Mr. Fancypants which is a pretty accurate description. We listened to this song on a trip home from a weekend at my Mama's house after sharing an odd time cooking, drinking, shopping for American Indian ponchos and watching me look sad from being involuntarily let loose from a relationship. It was fun/awkward/entertaining and peaceful. Here's that song.... but you can download muchos mas trax at Myspace.com/getsrealfancy. Get Fancy!!

Darnold is a special and wonderful dude.
Go listen to 73 Days and 200 Feet too....

Fast Food Nation out Friday:

Fast Food is something that's always really fascinated me, especially since I think I could count on both hands how many times I've actually consumed it despite the fact that I've seen more commercials, billboards and huge neon establishments than there are centimeters of wizard sleeve in Calvin's mom's, well anyway, you know what I mean. Fast Food Nation was a pretty good informative look at the grotesque and misleading world of cheap, shitty food. Check out the trailer and the soundtrack listing below.

Zune Zune:

Last night was super fun. Some bloggers I like were in town so we all got drinks/food at the Cat & the Fiddle which is a pretty nice joint for affairs with many attendants. Nice outdoor seating and warm cozy heat lamps. Twinkly lights. So many people whose company I really enjoy were out. Calvin did the basketball dance, Ted wouldn't let me put him in a headlock, Kat went crazy for Polaroids, Dustin donned a tie full of Floridas and Lady Sov was there just lookin so damn cute I wanted to give her an ice cream cone. It ended on a comfy bench/lounge type deal around a pool lined w/ Palm Trees at the Roosevelt Hotel. Not bad right? Free vinyl too. Actually it didn't end that way. It ended w/ me realizing that I had left my car keys at work and making Kat turn around to pick me up while I waited on the corner of Sunset and Vine and got mistaken for a hooker.

I love this song. Always. And was just listening to it so thought I would post it...
Jay Good Times put it on a mix for me long time ago. Sorry, can't find anything new I feel like posting at the moment.
Lou Reed - Romeo and Juliette

In other news, I'm getting a new car tomorrow!!! Picture to follow....

Paper

Last night I went to the Paper Magazine party they had in my hood at Jensen's Rec Center. It was an interesting place. The whole party spent most of their time standing in one large mass of a line waiting for drinks. There was a blazing lump of crystal rocks on fire which looked extremely dangerous. It was sort of beautiful but I kept expecting some poor inebriated hipster soul to sit down on it and get an unfortunate surprise hot kick to the heinie. For the most part it was a room full of hip people hanging out together, but I suppose that's most parties. Fortunately I ran into my friend Dustin so Kat, Dustin and I drove over to Shart Stop to have a quick drink, realize that my roomie has never heard of nor seen the running man and just generally hang. I felt less than entertaining as I was coming down from being uncomfortably high on Claritin D all day. Ohh, point to this story, sort of. There was this guy who I thought rather a douche because his only question to me was the old "What do you do?" and so I of course said, music. He handed me his teeny tiny card w/ the Myspace link of his band and told me to "Drop him a line." Hmmm... don't think so. Shameless self-promotion, but then look at me posting about it here. Apparently this guy has released 34, thirty fuckin' four, albums on his very own Jesus Warhol records, which is aptly named since he was slightly odd, read: creepy, and had slicked back silvery locks. Seems like a Jesus/Warhol concoction in the making. I do, however, really have an affinity for this song. I added it to my Myspace page, because I'm a DORK.

Listen to "I've Been Thinking" here. Beware, takes a minute or so to get really good, at least I think it's good, bitches. He doesn't allow you to download any songs for free. C'mon man you have 34 friggin records!

See what I mean?

Phosphorescent: Worried Blues

Here's the video from that show previously mentioned. He's wearing the same sweet lit up get up as last time I saw him at Brooklyn Fireproof. He's so much better in real life though. You have to watch this and think hard of sitting indian style on the floor in a small dark room in front of him w/ a can full 'o Pabst and a bowl full 'o cookies.

This weekend...

I felt like I had friends, ha. Ashley rolled into town w/ Bart so we all met up at my house and went over to Cantina Malo for drinks and food w/ Kat and Brenton. Saturday I bought some more basil, dill, parsley and pansies to plant after test driving some Toyotas and making a decision to get a Scion XA. I'm pretty excited about owning a new car, though the poor rating on the overall "ride" on Consumer Reports seems rather shady. I'm going for the Sirius Satellite radio so I can hear all the various blogger radio shows while I drive. After car shopping I hung out at my place drinking Black Lager w/ Ted on the porch in Ninja Turtle blow-up chairs while listening to every version of "Since You Been Gone" that I own. Sunday Kat and I made tofu scramble and brought it over to Kiki's house where 8 hungover people were watching movies and drinking mimosas before heading over to Santa Monica to see the Borat movie and eat thai food while playing Loaded Questions.
Best new vocabulary acquired from watching the movie: Hand Party.

My friends had a kickass show out of their apartment a little while ago in Park Slope, I really wished I could have been there. The Village Voice wrote about it here. Phosphorescent and Death Vessel played.

Death Vessel - Deep in the Horchada
Phosphorescent - Pretty Pt. 1

Keep your friends close

This is kinda the most awesomest video I've seen in awhile.

Justice vs. Simian - "We Are Your Friends"

Go See Levy on Sat. It's free:

You have to repeat the 3rd grade

Hit up the Rainbow Bar & Grill last night in West Hollywood for my girlfriend's co-workers going away dinner. Free steak and shrimp scampi, on the boss. Hooty-hoo! The place is infamous because they allow people to smoke weed on their patio thanks to a resolution that makes marijuana-related offenses in WEHO a "low priority" for law enforcement. In short, they look the other way unless it involves the sale of ganja.

Since the Rainbow is on Sunset, it tends to attract a diverse crowd of people, mostly Hollywood trash. Last night was no exception. Gracing us with their presence was an aspiring "rapper," his sidekick, and their yes-man. He proceeded to wow three 40 something groupie's who responded to everything with "WOW, that was amazing!" To get people hyped, the yes-man came to our table and repeated over and over "hey hey hey. check out my man right here. hey hey. check him out. he just got a capitol records deal. yo yo, check him out." we all avoided eye contact with him.

The poor man's Bubba Sparxxx proceeded to perform a song titled "Fresh Out Tha Kitchen." I still don't know what's more pathetic; his belief that he was good at his craft or his sidekick who repeated the last word of every verse with the anxiousness of somebody who's been constipated for 4 days and finally comes across a pack of laxatives. If I knew rhyming 'knife' with 'life,' 'wife,' 'bike,' 'kite,' 'mice,' and 'dildo' made somebody a rapper, I would've gone multi-platinum by now.
