Pic megapost!

Watching:
Snow Buddies (no I'm not joking, I wanted to see it so piss off) - So terrible and yet so awesome! And so disturbingly similar to porn, I'm all "what's all this story crap, just get to the alaskan husky money shots!!!!"

Looking forward to:
GET HIM TO THE GREEK!!!!! - Aldous Snow is back... ON DRUGS FOOLS! AWESOME!

Listening to:
Pitchfork 500

And let's talk about that. FINALLY finished 497 of them (three didn't down... er I couldn't find them at the store, for some reason, but those bands/songs I had heard so wasn't missing anything). I had really hoped to find a ton of cool new stuff to check out. I found Antony and The Johnsons. That was pretty much it. OUTTA 500 SONGS! C'MON PITCHFORK! You're so much better than that. Anyway, if those were the best Animal Collective songs they could find then I'm glad I've never given them the time of day cause they blow goats and then yak onto the pony. There is some seriously boring shit on that list. There's also quite a few of what I would consider "the best songs ever" that I already loved. Then there's a lot of WTF is that doing on here? But the fact that Lightning Bolt, Brainiac, Slayer, Iron Maiden, and Les Savy Fav and quite a few other awesome bands that shouldn't have but did make the list made me quite happy. I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish (I get the Rolling Stone reference, besides that) but I guess it was something along the lines of add rap, raggae, and some of what they considered underappreciated "underground" songs by bands that you've already heard of but maybe never gave the particular song or album a chance. There is quite a bit of early hip hop that sounds terribly dated, never in a good way. No idea why it was included other than to be cool and "black it up" just for the sake of it. Not that that's a bad thing, there was a few songs falling in that category that I (sadly) had never heard that are freaking great (uhhh, "I Got 5 On It"?). Also; worst song: Rawhide by Scott Walker. WTF?? IT'S AWFUL. Was happy they included "Cry Me a River" by J.T., it's a good song. But Kelly Clarkson? C'mon, now you're just trying to be too slyly hipster ironic. And what's the deal with LCD Soundsystem? I get it, Talking Heads were a great band. Stop cloning their songs already. I mean yeah you can never go wrong, but it's still annoying. Anyway the whole thing just left me sorta confused after listening to it. And now if you aren't bored to death heres some pretty pichers!

I got my phone linking up to my computer again after months of it not working (STUPID GARBAGE WINDOWS VISTA) so I'll post some pics which are from several months ago and possibly summer. Or just tonight in the case of the first one. Sorry if there is repeats from my previous pic post. First in honor of my home slice Schultzzz:
Oh shit! Pretty face is goin' to HELL!
Next in honor of my bro Adam:
Care for some FAGOTTINI with you CHINA WANG?
Just some cool street art and concert poster from downtown Stockholm:
The view from the apartment we were staying in at the beginning of summer in Stockholm:
There's lots of rainbows here. Think it has something to do with the sun being at a low angle in the sky so much blah blah.
I so wish there was some blood dripping and pooling in the second pic. God that would be awesome.

Out.
