BR@!N Chandler: My New Roomate

I actually chose to live with this guy?! Oh mama... here's a preview of the next year of my life.

Vampire Weekend's ONLY Seattle show

Luckily I got to see one of my favorite bands in an acoustic set at the Gibson Showroom before they cancelled their Marymoor show due to "illness". And they cancelled at the show, after the time they were supposed to take the stage. Ouch.

This Seattle Weekly article describes it best (basically a bunch of people were really upset, and rightly so):

Anyways, here's one of the two songs they managed to play in Seattle during their tour. Poor audio quality is better than no performance at all.

You should know about Golden Silvers

Their debut album was released over a year ago, but it seems that nobody has heard of these guys yet. I was digging their stuff real hard last year and then sort of forgot about 'em. Shame. With a revisit, their music is even better than I remembered. I really hope they make it stateside, and with a recent remix by Brooklyn's Penguin Prison (ridiculously rad) and ties to The Local Natives they may get a bit more exposure over here.

Here are a couple videos, and you can check one of my postings from quite a while back with their single "Arrows of Eros" to hear a more dancy tune.

A Capella:

Classic sound:

Okay, so Mark Ronson's still as cool as ever...

Just watch the video. You'll see a dude living the dream and making it sound rad.

Kids Incorporated's scariest sketch?

Seriously, who the hell came up with this idea?

"...and at :42, we'll hit the clown with the spotlight and he can do that broom spinny thing he does so well. Then, at 1:21... spotlight, clown, yo-yo...MAGIC! People will be talking about this one!!!"




And yes, that's Fergie... pre-drugs/surgery.

Nuttin' but Love for J-Love

Jennifer Love Hewitt is arguably one of the greatest actresses of her generation (see: Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, Kids Incorporated, Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber and of course those Hanes commercials that showed absolutely none of her better assets).




I bet you didn't know she is also widely considered the greatest songstress of her generation. The proof is in the puddin', as they say, and the puddin's below.

Peep Mel Brooks singing backup at :45. He's always got a tall blonde by his side, the ol' houndog!

And oh yeah, J-Love had a bunch of songs as an adult too, but those were very. very bad and I don't want them anywhere near my blog.

BTHOMP's White Out Night Out

My 28th Birthday Party was held at the Red Velvet Lounge, upstairs at Rendezvous. I think I'll put together more color-themed parties, as the gang-like feel to the crowd is very empowering.

Somebody took my cam and filmed me doing what I do best;

awkward, beat-interpretive dancing.
