Non-Sequiturs

Wet daddy.

Nice chest.

Nice everything.

More chest.

Must be a chest day.

Wouldn't mind waking up to that.

Bull daddy.

Cute smile.

Furry belly.

Yum.

Nice lean frame.

Bear belly.

Woof.

Kissing daddies.

Grrrr.

Wet and wonderful.

Beefy.

Hey there blue eyes.

Lovely beard and fur.

Nice legs.

Nice belly.

UNF.

What is up with all the Interpol backlash lately?

I find it funny when people say things like "Oh, I hate 'x city' because everyone there is rude and unfriendly." A city itself cannot define its citizens, you met some rude people that just so happen to live there. There are rude people everywhere.

The movie Moulin Rouge is a two hour migraine to me.

I will admit I never got into Sleater-Kinney.

Perfect.

Growing up, I always wanted a Suburu Brat.

Line from Birdman which cracks me up: "Popular is just the slutty little cousin of prestige."

I just don't understand when sports fans riot; you're a fan, not on the team, you have no personal stake in this.

On the season premiere of Looking, one of the characters mentioned that this guy had a "house in Virginia" which is slang apparently for having HIV. One, I had never heard that expression before and, two, who has to resort to slang or something secretive to discuss someone's HIV status?

Togetherness, the new show on HBO, is rather horrible.

Also, the season premiere of Girls felt very off.

Good question.

Sometimes nothing is better than just a bowl of plain vanilla ice cream.

Karl the Fog has decided to have another vacation in Atlanta. Go home Karl!

I miss the sun.  We haven't seen it all week.

If you tell me you don't want to see a certain kind of pic on my Tumblr feed, I am definitely going to put more of such pics up there.

Exactly.

Bjork's new record Vulnicura comes out in March and I couldn't be happier.

The Shaky Knees Festival here in Atlanta has a lineup that is much stronger than Coachella or Bonnaroo.

Why do I always have deepest and best sleep 10 minutes before the alarm goes off?

I love how the new session of the Georgia Assembly opens up with an anti-gay prayer.  Way to stay in the past Georgia.

Your cute for the day.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Brain

"She wakes up on her own
And opens her eyes
The sun tries to burn through the pain
She still feels inside

I've seen you fall apart
I know you wouldn't care
But I wish you were mine

She looks into his face
Just to be near him
And the clouds come round again
Nothings changed

I saw you for a lifetime
I know I shouldn't care
But I wish you were mine
And the rain keeps on falling
In my heart."

Slowdive
"Country Rain"

"I've had good times
With some bad guys
I've told whole lies
With a half smile
Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I've thrown rocks
Then hid both my arms

I don't know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt

But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more

I've played dumb
When I knew better
Tried too hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I've seen America
With no clothes on

But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don't know what I deserve
But for you I could work

'Cause I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more."

St. Vincent
"Cheerleader"

Appealing Things

Noble Fare
Cute greeter cub at the Jepson Gallery in Savannah
The sun
Ghost Culture
Shaky Knees Festival
Cooking at home
Scotch on a cold day

Annoying Things

Know-it-alls
Lorde and Trent Reznor being snubbed by the Oscars
No sun
Too much to do at work, and not enough time to do it
Working on a collective project and then having nothing you do on it appear in the finished form

New: Santigold - "Girls"

Song made for the HBO series Girls. Killer track.

Videos of the Week

Made it through another week. Here are the videos that lubed and oiled me up:



The new Bear In Heaven album, I Love You, It's Cool, is an amazing set of songs. First single "The Reflection of You" is a great intro to the record. The video is a bit nausea inducing, but it is a hypnotic clip.

Get More: Santigold, Disparate Youth, Music, More Music Videos

Very bizarre. voodoo related clip from Santigold.



Sweet clip from dream poppers Memoryhouse.

Bon Iver - Towers (Official Music Video) from Bon Iver on Vimeo.

I am not a huge Bon Iver fan, but I have to admit, he puts out some visually striking videos.



Semi-NSFW clip from GIRLS, that really fits this lovely ode to his mother.



I'm obsessed with the new Scuba album, and this song.

Coachella 2012 Countdown: 45 Days! GIRLS - "Lust For Life"

I saw them at Coachella 2010 and was expecting a train wreck of a show, but they surprised me and put on a very professional set. I was kind of hoping for a little bit of a train wreck though.

Videos of the Week

This has been one roller coaster of a week, and I am certainly glad it is almost over with. Here is the roundup of the latest videos that gay married me:



Airy chillwavers Sun Airway have released a new 7-inch and this is the video to accompany it. I really love their sound.



Day-glo, trippy video from the dark synth pop outfit Nurses.

EMA - Marked (official video) from Souterrain Transmissions on Vimeo.

Intense song from EMA gets a very visually striking video.



Great song off the new Girls album, with a video that is just plain fun and gets you in a good mood.



There is just something about the drum track on this song that makes me like it. Can't tell you why.



New track from Scotland's The Twilight Sad. I was concerned that their sound was stagnating, however, from this first track from their upcoming album, they are definitely heading in a slighly different direction. I love the new wave/proto-industrial feel to this song.



Super creepy video from dark popsters Wise Blood.

Videos of the Week

Here are the videos this week that have earwormed me:



Jay-Z and Kanye West collaboration gets a Spike Jonze directed video that is typical hip-hop blinged out nonsense, but is worth watching to see a $400K Maybach destroyed.



Gorgeous, evocative clip from nu-gazers I Break Horses.



A lonely, desolate video accompanies the first single from the upcoming sophomore release from Girls. The song and video are completely opposite of the low-fi shambolic recordings/videos from their debut.



More excellent mopery from The National. This song is featured in the video game Portal, and this is a contest winner's video for the song.



Low-fi psychedelic backbeat rockers Unknown Mortal Orchestra put together a suitably weird video to go with their retro sound. Slightly NSFW. Around the 2:30 mark are some breasts with blood trickling down them, just so you know.



Sort of "day-in-the-life" video from Pictureplane, if dropping acid and dancing on top of a Mexican pyramid is your idea of day in the life.
