Bill Wurtz + History of Japan /video

I need to preface this post with the old xkcd comic regarding 10,000… because I’m one of today’s 10,000 people who had never heard of Bill Wurtz. So this new Bill Wurtz video, according to reddit user LowerThoseEyebrows, is a healthy combination of CGP Grey, Hyperactivity, and Jazzy Keyboards. The (apparently) popular youtuber released a […]

Space is big… /xkcd

First off… I’d have thought we’d see Pluto included in this plot (and no, don’t tell me “hey idiot, Pluto’s not a planet”–shhhhhhhhuttup~! I know it’s not a planet. But neither are birds, planes, giant insects or literally anything else pictured. The point of the chart is to represent pictorially on a logarithmic scale, all […]

The Knocks + Wyclef Jean /electro pop

Winter is normally a drag (said everyone, ever). No need to dwell, but it suuuuucks. So it helps when some fun and uplifting music comes around the blogosphere. Nothing too summery that makes you miss the warmth and relaxation on a Saturday in the Park in Chicago (whhhaaaatt did I just do?) But that will […]

Mr Little Jeans + Dear Santa /holiday

This time of year, it’s nigh impossible to go to any store, street corner, radio station, podcast, uber, friend’s car ride, or waiting room without being inundated with holiday songs. It’s cool, I guess. There’s the staples like Ol’ Blue Eye’s rendition of “Sleigh Ride”, Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas is You”, or even […]

500 + [/b] /rant

500 posts! Wait, only 500 posts? Hasn’t this blog been truckin’ along since, what, 2007? Well… when you go thru the usual messes in life sometimes it pulls you away from the inane and insignificant. I like to look back every now and then on previous posts and all the types of music I’ve consumed. […]

Phoenix + Uppermost /french house

Haven’t listened to the non-remixed version too often, but I do enjoy this french house/nu disco remix from producer Uppermost. Reminds me of some early Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. Pressuring bass under 80’s synth drums giving way to funk guitar solos? …mmmmmmyyeaaa! Unfortunately he could’ve taken things past the initial apex at the 2:30 […]

Dan Deacon + Adult Swim /experimental

Not having cable means one is limited in the media they consume. Either by word of mouth, podcasts, npr, or in this case–reddit. Nine different (read: amazing and unique) animators came together to collaborate a music video for Dan Deacon’s track “When I Was Done Dying”. Here are the animators in chronological order per the […]
