release calendar, anyone?

LINK OF THE WEEEEEKEEEK!

Youth and Young Manhood: Leave work early and listen to the Summer Records

Using "records" doesn't really mean anything because only douche-bags and dj's buy vinyl, but these are ESSENTIAL to laying in a pool and drinking beer and smoking cigarettes and having an affair with a family friend

(I watched The Graduate last night)




Wolfmother s/t -This is strictly to be used during driving long hot distances, and by long I mean enough to listen to the first five tracks.




Bread "Anthology"- Only to be used during camping.




Cold War Kids "Robbers & Cowards" - Good at any time, any place, hell... any chance you ever get




Boston s/t- Again, anyplace. But preferably on Fridays when you get off of work for the weekend. I converted a wangster to this album in less than 2 tracks with this album.




My Morning Jacket "Z" -preferably during naptime




Franz Ferdinand s/t -when swimming. specifically in a pool




Rilo Kiley "More Adventurous" -When driving at least 2 hours straight. To be played with:
-The Hold Steady "Boys & Girls in America"
-Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"
-Spoon "Gimme Fiction"
-Ted Leo & The Pharmacists "Living with the Living"




Spoon "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" -to be listened to between 4-6 PM Monday-Friday. Trust me.




The Shins "Chutes Too Narrow" -This CD never left my car. Ever.




Kings of Leon "Aha Shake Heartbreak" -only to be used while laying in a hammock




Beck "Sea Change" -When you wake up with regret on your to-do list. (I mean hung-over and did something awful regret)





Willie Nelson "Stardust" & Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins "Rabbit Fur Coat" -When serenading women.




Wilco "Summerteeth" -two functions. late afternoon driving to your buddy's house OR on a first date.
-note: It may be used on ONLY ONE first date.  Album is void if used for any other women.




The White Stripes: "Elephant" "Get Behind Me, Satan" & "Icky Thump"-White Stripes is a staple. Every summer they seem to spawn a new album, and every summer it is the sun the my other music orbits around.




Okkervil River "The Stage Names" -When you feel like being obscene and emotional at the same time




Shout Out Louds "Howl Howl Gaff Gaff" -ok that's a lie.  Though it is a PHENOMENAL album, you need only to listen to "Hurry Up Let's Go" and you MUST play it full blast and drive 70 in a 40

Good God

I feel a little lame posting this, but WHAT THE FUCK!?!

I always forget how badass The Hustler is until I get done watching it.






I don't care if I spoiled the movie. You've had 47 years to see this movie

God Dammit Do I Love Married to the Sea

I was watching an MTV roundtable discussion (so right there, whatever) about the top ten hip hop artists of recent time.


and I heard the following:


"T.I.'s very hip hop, I mean his record sales would prove it."




...and people wonder why I don't take hip hop seriously
