The $250,000 Question
I posed this question to an anonymous colleague of mine at the mall the other day while walking past the underwear at American Eagle
And the question is the following:
Are these homosexual or overly/aggressively heterosexual?
We went with the latter

I guess I'm a little behind but still a sad day for rock has dawned.
This was Wolfmother, and they use to rock
You see that guy in the middle?
Yeah apparently the other two decided to abandon Wolfmother. My guess is the guy in the middle was a little controlling, but not much has been said about the breakup
Here's the actual story itself

The opening ceremony
As much as I resent China's imperialistic government (hey like ours too!) I can't deny how amazing their opening ceremony show was. (15,000 performers & I think there's only about 14,000 athletes, but hey they have the people for it in that country)
I encourage anyone who didn't see it to come to my parent's house and watch it on tivo

The Year End List
And so we've come to the end of the year the last one of these I did was from June 07-February 08
So hence this is from Feb 08- June 08
(put yr thing back, flip it, and reverse it)
the reason I make uneven time intervals is because the bulk of my music knowhow is during the time period of feb-june. Plus it’s the meat of my school year so...ya know, whatever.
plus i find it futile and a bit cliche to just do an actual year end list when i don't actually talk about albums from this year.
ANYWAYS without further ado, I give you the best random list of albums that made my last two quarters HIGHLY enjoyable
Vampire Weekend (S/T) I know the buzz on this album was ridiculous but it was still an excellent album and is working its way into my summer mix
Death Cab For Cutie "I Will Possess Your Heart" this album wasn't anything new or groundbreaking but it was still very good and will probably one of those summer albums I get nostalgic about when I’m old.
Maplewood (S/T) Do you really want me to keep talking about this album?
Cat Power "Jukebox" & "The Greatest" And none of you will challenge me!
The Autumn Defense Kinda like Maplewood with a jazz flute. Everytime I listen to this with friends I must recite lines from Anchorman
Johnny Cash "Live at Folsom Prison" Because the only thing better than Johnny Cash singing is Johnny Cash singing to a bunch of felons. Mmmm……
Mono "You Are There" Do you ever listen to an obscure radio song and inexplicably love that song and then think “Oh man I must love this whole album” when in reality you really don’t care that much because it just hit you at a right moment? That happened here but for some reason actually DID I loved it. Japanese kids making ambient lo-fi very well. Great for studying and androgynous making out.
She and Him "Volume One" because I just like alternative country dammit! Also I never have been able to pronounce the girl’s last name. Yet my best friend/least cultured person I know ridicules me constantly ridicules me for it.
Bon Iver "For Emma, Forever Ago" when I want to cry like a girl
The Go "Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride" one of those obscure albums that make you hate the state of the music market because this is the band that should have been the Jet of our era, and not have sucked so god damn badly.
Dead Kennedys "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" Because LA punk will always beat New York and Brit Punk. My History of Rock N Roll professor had a lot to do with me embracing this album
Grand Ole Party "Humanimals" the thing about this is I’ve loved this band for almost a year but I only just recently found their album. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this album is.
Rilo Kiley "Take Offs and Landings" Do you really need to ask why?
Les Savy Fav "Let's Stay Friends” This was so far up my alley that I was amazed that this never directly influenced my upbeat excited indie rock. Plus the resemblance between the lead singer and the lead singer of The Apples in Stereo is uncanny.
Nataile Portman's Shaved Head "Glistening Pleasure" I’m actually surprised I haven’t been more adamant about these guys. They had a dance party at our coffee house and I’ve never been gayer in my life
Nico "Chelsea Girl" Just because I love These Days on this album
Velvet Underground "Loaded" and "White Heat/White Light" Brought on by a discussion by my History of Rock prof about the song Heroin, which ironically is not on either of these albums
No Age "Nouns" for a man who's never enjoyed fuzztone or punk, a band to make me love both must be given my respect and honor.
Dr. Dog "We All Belong" the band that will go along the ranks of Cold War Kids and Sufjan Stevens. it's that good
Kimya Dawson "Remember That I Love You!" this album will always be accompanied by crisp cold sunny days wherever I shall go strolling. The best part of winter.
Yogoman Burning Band (S/T) This is the band that got me into the Bellingham music scene.
Wilco "Either Way" (Two things directly related to me loving this album, one was an article written by Chuck Klosterman, the second was getting sauced with my (ex)girlfriend and her friends while dancing to "Impossible Germany". I still haven't forgiven them for making fun of my dancing.)
The Thermals "The Blood, The Body, & The Machine" I get so exited when I listen to this album because I just love the fact that it sounds so dirty and yet so light and flaky. It’s the music equivalent to the hot pocket.
The Rosebuds "The Rosebuds Make Out" (I'm not sure why I didn't put this on my last list but it needs its cred)
honorable mentions:
Viva Voce "Get Yr Blood Sucked Out"
Born Ruffians "Red Yellow & Blue"
So hence this is from Feb 08- June 08

It occurred to me that on Saturday, June 21 someone brought up the topic of having sex with monkeys in conversation twice in one day.
The first was while sitting in someone's backyard smoking hookah.
The second was while watching a UFC match.
When it came to my realization early the next morning it caused me to dwell on the idea for 20 minutes and completely gross me out.
