Two rights don't make a wrong

As a general rule, the combination of two things that are really fantastic simply cannot result in something even more fantastic. An exception to this fictitious rule that I've made up for the sake of this blog post, is MC DJ a.k.a Childish Gambino, also known as Donald Glover, a.k.a the funny black guy from Derrick Comedy. Talk about perfection! Derrick Comedy's newest installment, "The Mystery Team" looks so good it hurts-a guaranteed laugh-a-thon for 2 hours straight. Even more exciting though, is the films soundtrack. Donald Glover manages to combine two of my favourite things; funniness and hip hop music. And does so in good taste. "Get like me", the backdrop to the films trailer is a nice foundation for Gambinos early 90s southern beat, pharcyde-ish style. My dream friend, really.

Whose girls?

A lawsuit has been filed against power-indie Maryland super group "Animal Collective" today, from the 80's cult classic film "The Neverending Story". The film is suing the band for song sampling. ACs newest, and hotly anticipated album "Merriweather post pavilion" features 10 experimental, cool sounding, and utterly perfect tracks. "My girls", the first single off the album, featuring a series of overlapping circular elements and unclear mumblings, might just be a little bit TOO experimental.

Apparently, the beginning of the (underground)hit single samples a portion of the Neverending Story's theme song(going by the same name as the movie). The characters in the film were horrified when they heard the hit-claiming the band had lifted the sample from the 1984 film.

The Luck Dragon fumed;"they sampled us, but didn't give us any credit".
G'mork added, "It's not about the money. It's OUR swooshing sound plain and simple, they are fooling nobody. Everyone knows it's our swooshing sound at the beginning of the song."

Check it out....

After school special

When I first laid eyes on this clock, I made the same noise my father would produce when he would come home from a long day at work, pour a scotch and sink into his favourite chair.

Remembering China

Someone very patient obviously made this video. And their message is well appreciated! Anything can be beautiful if you spend enough time choreographing a jazz dance dance with it. Even the scum of our planet, like Pigeons and Mice. Merry Christmas everyone!

Fun fun Fun Fun Fun

Branding yourself 'The Fun Factory' is a pretty ballsy move. It's like getting married, but the opposite. You've used up all your 'bad mood' cards; you can't just get your period, have low blood sugar, or get stomach aches. And don't even think about engaging in discussion with first year Poli Sci students or being hung over. Your job is delivering 100% fun, all the time. Yup, it's all funny outfits, cocaine, choreographed dances and sports with the boys from now on...

Getting tricked my good looking people

Even if they put this in the opening credits, I probably still would of paid 14 dollars to endure the sexual frustration of two incredibly good looking people getting really close to each others faces, but never actually making out. Not.

sex is a texas drought

Girls love assholes and this will never change. I'd rather be serenaded by these guys than strummed a song involving many synonyms for love ANY day. Eat your heart out John Cusack.


"But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advise-oree
I want you smothered, want you covered, like my waffle-house-hashbrowns
So if I capsize, on your thighs, high tide, b-five, you sunk my battleship
So show me yours Ill show you mine, tool time!"

Good call Stevie Kicks

You know that feeling when you find that really perfect vintage jean jacket and you sport it with the utmost indie chills pride? And then you see someone better looking than you wearing the same jacket but accessorized with pins that say really funny shit and they bought it for $1.99?
Do you think that scene from Superbad where Micheal Cera sings 'These eyes' feels the same way about Will Smith?

You can't have your Japanoise, and eat it's sub genre to. Or can you?

The answer is no. When I was growing up(last February), my mom told me otherwise. I did some research on this. Let me explain. 'Math Rock' and 'Japanoise' are my two favourite genres, right? When fused, they translate into exactly what you think you think you think. Quench your curiosity. Drink, DRINK!

common, introduce me!

I came across my future profession today while trying to memorise the history of certain icelandic pop bands so to impress my future boyfriend who I plan on meeting on the streetcar tomorrow- [enter sentence]"The band was founded by sometimes journalist Bob Stanley".

Sometimes Journalist.

Bob Stanley, you fucking genius, you write about things on occasion, and in the off season you find bands to found. Mom, he gets me.

Podictionary has a soothing enough voice than you'll fall asleep before he starts preaching to you about post-party rules and Harry Potter...if you drink coffee a few minutes before hand though, you get the bonus features of some fictional character named Scott who steals Cabs.

Friends with money

Most of my friends are assholes and I'm ok with that. I realise I have unrealistic expectations about friendships but I could never pinpoint the source of this confusion.

The scent of love was in the air in the lush meadows of Teenagehood. I waited patiently for it to show itself. It was 4 pm and something stirred in the tall grass. The puggle squirmed its way out of the swamp-like garden and swatted the blades of grass off his snout and eyes with his paw. Riding into the smoke of a fire, it swaggered amongst the tall and proud men. I watched as they took turns licking each others ears and when I next turned around they were intertwined and asleep, the eeriness had lifted and someone was whispering "you are safe here, you are safe here".

PNAU - With You Forever

Will someone walk this track back home to where it belongs? Unemployed, in Green Land! Twirling around in it's salmon coloured tu-tu on the shores of the beach with Leo Dicaprio, dropping acid for the first time with it's younger sister in a Peruvian forest, interviewing Scarlett Johanson in a new york cafe, or petting Falcor the Luck Dragon atop a moderately snowy mountain.

The chipmunks were a good band. Young, funny, fresh faced. Kanye West and Young Jeezy samples them and Alvin is a type of chocolate bar in Chile. So where did these poor little rodents go wrong?

At it's finest black state, coffee is most enjoyable whilst perusing the under- priced soft cover version of "stuff white people like" in Urban Outfitters while your mother searches for a plaid shirt. I think this is because I am white and I like coffee, and my mother from what I gather, liked plaid first, thus is going to buy out all the newborn plaid in the city so that she can keep the tradition in our family going.

This is Aimee


She doesn't give a fuck.
She wore boys swimming trunks as a bathing suit until she was 11.
She skipped frosh week to watch Tropic Thunder every day for a week.
She plays crystal castles songs on repeat the whole way up to Collingwood.
She prances around with underwear on her head and chants made-up song lyrics about poo and cacti and highways.
She is incredible at covertly puking in cabs.
She has stolen over $1000 worth of sushi and fruit slices from Loblaws.
She once convinced me to wear adult diapers, not to long ago, for a whole day.

Stinging Nettle


How does one quench the stinging of Stinging Nettle?
It's impossible! Nettle stings and it stangs bahd, Nettle makes your disc golf games turn sour in a second. Nettle is like accidental spicy peppers that immediately make you pissed off and not even the intolerance/unpleasantness of the anti-body: MILK can save you. Red Ants or Nettle? Red....ants....

Oh Wesley...you have H I V


How do I get on a show? I want to be on a show(s). If I had shinier hair and made better use of describing words like "succulent", "tender" and "moist" I could most certainly be on a cooking show. I'm pretty sure it works on a cue card by cue card basis; "these strawberries are...*cue card*.."tender...and will make your muffins...moist".

If I was more depressed and knew how to smile I could RUN MTV man. People would love me. If I was younger, or, I guess had more defined freckles, I could, in theory, replace the Big Comfy Couch girl. I haven't tuned in to Much Music for a while but I can only assume they are on their game with the racial balance. No room for me. I could be a reporter for CBC! I would have to put on an impeccable British Accent but I could do it.
