Take a listen to Neutral Milk Hotel

I love how weird I find their music, yet how much it all works for me. Today I was getting ready and I had my Ipod on shuffle and Two Headed Boy pt2 came on..what a good song. Take a listen!

Been listening to:

As if the Radiohead original version wasn't depressing enough I have to go and get obsessed with David Bazan's cover. I wish I wouldn't have missed his concert at the Ottobar. (I always miss out on good shows at the Ottobar like Colour Revolt!) I saw on youtube he played Bad Diary Days..I'd almost rather not know if he played Criticism as Inspiration....because that is one of my favorite songs..ever. I got back from California at like 2am on Saturday and the show was Sunday night.. and it like my french hw..slipped.my.mind.

I have liked this for some time.

...and I think you will too. It is from Zach's "Live at the Purple Onion" DVD. You should check out the whole movie, but this excerpt with "Seth" is great!




I actually saw this pre-Hangover and resent people that refer to Zach Galifianakis as the fat guy from The Hangover. He transcends that!

I want to read this:

I saw Sarah Silverman on the morning show that I don't like..(the one without Ann Cury.) She spoke a bit about her book "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee," and it sounded pretty interesting---she wet the bed in high school! I think Sarah Silverman is funny (most of the time) and I am interested in HER PAIN. This will be the first thing I read post-graduation. I'm into high brow stuff.

Films I want to see:

Adrift
the runaways

the kids are alright

Coachella was probably fun..

Stereogum just posted this on twitter. I thought it was pretty good... I know the song from the prom episiode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...one of my fav epi's. I probably heard it on the radio when I was a baby or something because it sounded familiar to me when I heard it on the show...




THE O.G

Knife never gets old.

Grizzly Bear's Knife is one of my favorite songs ever. I actually discovered it through the mash up Roc Knife... a mash w/ Jay-Z's ROC Boys. The third version of the song that I found is a Girl Talk remix. It's been coming up on my ipod's shuffle a lot so I thought I'd share!

Katie's Thoughts on Pop Culture: Characature drawings

I had a friend that had an ugly one on her wall, and I never understood 1) why she got it done in the first place and 2) why she hung it on her wall. I can't imagine sitting down and paying someone to insult me. If someone is going to draw me, I either want it to be true to life or BETTER THAN REALITY... not take-a-feature-of-mine-that-perhaps isn't the best-and exaggerate it to the point where I look fugly. The worst part is that they have these booths set up at places where you are supposed to be having fun..like Hershey Park... so your having a fun day and then failed art student #3495849385 makes you look like you have dumbo ears and its all over from there..your friends turn to you.."WAIT YOU DO HAVE BIG EARS"...im just saying its a bad idea.
