I HAVE FOUND MY NEW ANTHEM
So every now and then there is a song that I find or re-discover that completely blowz my mind and I have it stuck in my head months on end and I sing it/make references to it at least once everyday thus annoying everyone I come in contact with.
For example "Someone To Call My Lover" by Janet Jackson, "Candy" by The Pack, and "Never Ending Story" by Limahl have all held this lofty position.
Again today I was rummaging through my father's music collection and I came across an old gem:
PET SHOP BOYS "Opportunities"
"I've got the brains, you've got the looks let's make lots of money" =
genius.
Gee, I hope my roommate (lyke... whoever they are) next year is able to stand me belting this song at 4am every night.
I also found a remix of their song "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS" Which shall I say is just that. Then I looked up that song on youtube and came across this gem:
The remix has everything cut out but the "absolutely fabulous" part over and over again. It's song heaven. I mean that has the potential to be anthem material too.
Oh oh oh! While I was looking up this on youtube I saw this video titled "Ghost Ride the Farm" under the "Recommended for You" section and even though these two guys are total douchebags I totally related to the part where they're ghost riding the tractor and horse. I guess youtube knows I live out in the boonies. Ahhh, there's nothing like being back in western ny, my home thweet home.
absolutely nothing.
HAIR
I want to start doing my hair like country singers did back in the day.
LIKE:
DOTTIE WEST!
DOLLY PARTON!

LORETTA LYNN!

HOT HISTORICAL HUNKS: John Wilkes Booth
So what if he killed Abraham Lincoln? Who cares, John Wilkes Booth is fucking hottttttt!
Look at that cane!
Personally, if we met today and he told me that he was a Confederate sympathizer and killed Abraham Lincoln I would tell him that I was a Confederate sympathizer too. I mean seriously, I'm trying to think of all the good things the South has to offer and I can't come up with anything besides DISNEY WORLD (bless it's soul, <3 chu mickey). I don't watch NASCAR, I don't like soul food, I don't like lynching, and I don't like football. Personally, I think the United States would be a better place without the South. Let them have their own country! In my eyes it's a win-win situation. See me and JWB have shit in common!
BACK TO THE POINT: 
He's so fashionable.
Haha, that's just my Johnny. He's so playful.
Ummm, does he remind you of someone?
I'll give you a hint:

TAKE ME TO THE 90s!
For the past week I've been all nostalgic for the 1990s, which is strange because I'm usually nostalgic for decades in which I wasn't living yet. Yes, believe me you can be nostalgic for eras when you didn't live in them.
I found out that there's this genre of music videos from the 1990s where they layer different video clips. Oh if only I knew proper video vocabulary, I live such a hard life working at that factory and all.
Example One:
My Bloody Valentine "Soon"
Example Two:
Sonic Youth "Candle"
I know it was released in '88 but still it's close enough. Damn you youtube bastards ruining my blog aesthetic and not enabling embedded videos! So for all of you who won't click the link I was nice enough to take some screen shots of the video (youtube sign and all) so you get the jist:
Dayum, check out that Sub Pop subliminal messaging that i just stumbled upon. I wonder what they put in SHINS videos. lolz.
Just Go to the link:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=RzwlmK0wqfQ
Example Three:
The Cranberries "Dreams"
I was thinking about what the equivalent of these videos are today. At first I thought that these BEAUTIFUL videos do not exist anymore but then it struck me. THEY DO!
Dan Deacon "Big Big Big Big Big"
I mean it's different but the concept is still similar right?
Then you have all the Dan Deacon copycats like:
MGMT "Electric Feel"
and
Ponytail "Die Allman Bruder"
I actually don't know if Dan Deacon was the first one to update those vidz but I'm crediting him for it because he's fucking Dan Deacon.
The end.

John Maeda = God?
In case somebody who doesn't go to RISD reads this blog (I'd say 2 people at MAX) RISD has a new president, the all powerful JOHN MAEDA!
YES BOW DOWN MERE MORTALS!
yeah, yeah, yeah, So we all know he's cool and everything cuz he went to MIT and he makes super conceptual art with computers and shit and has messenger bag with sewn in solar panels to recharge his iphone, but there is something even more cool about him.
He has a facebook. Not only does he have a facebook but he has the best status updates ever. Let me demonstrate:
John is grappling with the fact that Noreen Morioka "owns" me.
10:38pm
Who is this Noreen Morioka? How can one own John Maeda for he is a god! A greater god?
John is pondering the difference between orange juice and fizzy water.
7:53am
Only a god's stomach can handle carbonated beverages at 7:53am.
John is contemplating the brilliance of a book title he sees "UNKN()WN QUANTITY".
8:28am
I don't really even understand that one.
John is captivated by the phrase "Less presentation, more discussion.".
5:55pm
OMG he put a 4 syllable word in his status update!
John is wondering what bees think about as they go about business.
1:30pm
How will I ever bee a fraction as intellectual as he is!?
John is wondering when books will be simply uploaded to our minds, how will we erase them?
11:32am
Oh no! He did read Wuthering Heights.
John is continuing to search ...
10:02am
I hate it when there's a cliffhanger in his status update. He's the Charles Dickens of status updates.
But seriously:
If by some strange circumstance you read this John Maeda... I luv ya. Good work.
EDIT:
I NEED to add his new status updates onto this thing:
John is trying to multitask microtasks but is preparing macrotasks concurrently to increase the value of his time.
9:07am
John is certain that complementary colors get along well.
10:57pm
John is realizing that "better" is not a subjective target.
8:57am
John is deeply struck by the correlation between Community and Communication. Connect and Context.
8:07pm
Then this isn't a status update but it's still really good:
John installed the Facebook for iPhone application to his phone.
12:36am
<3 him

Remember?: CHICKS ON SPEED
Do you remember Chicks on Speed?
I was rummaging through my dad's music collection in the basement the other day and I came across this gem:
It was love at second sight.
I really like their outfits, where do you think I can buy them?
Do you think their song "Glamour Girl" (circa '98) is an homage to the Spice Girls?
I guess we can only pray.

Check out Andy Dick's mugshot:
I think this may be the best mug I have ever seen in my life. I don't think anyone could even imitate this. I still can't believe how amazing it is! I'm in shock.
I guess he was arrested cuzz he was THUPER DRUNK and de-bra'd a 17 year old in public then the cops came and found MJ in his pocket.
Like whatever who cares about that.The picture! The picture! This is probably the funniest thing Andy Dick has ever done.

Hot Historical Hunks: Andrew Jackson
So what if he caused the death of 4,000 Cherokee Indians on the Trail of Tears, Andrew Jackson is fucking hottttt.
Oh baby there is a reason why I love going to the ATM.
There must have been a reason why they called you Old Hickory babii boi.
Do you think he used animal fat to make his hair stand up like that? If so: hot.
He owned a cotton farm and if he were alive today I would tell him to have his slave come and pick my cotton.

Phew!
For a split second of my life I believed that Mariah Carey could be my new Janet Jackson. Then I came to my senses.
JANET FOREVZ!
Oh What a Gem!
So today while I was working my daily 2-11 shift at the factory I saw the most amazing gem ever with my naked eye. Oh baby. It was sooooooo good.
It was the most beautiful tattoo I have ever seen on some guy's chubby upper arm. It was a dream catcher forever imprinted on this lucky guy's arm. But there was a catch. It had a cow skull in the middle you know kinda like those Georgia O'Keefe paintings.
(Don't you love the purple frame some internet dude added to this painting? Georgia really should've done that in the original, it would've added a lot, actually everything.)
Brilliance right? So traditional, yet innovative.
Basically I found a picture on google of the same exact tattoo only on some really hairy guy's lower arm.
So glorious.
Oh and in other factory talk I met some guy who has the last name of "Blood" today. Hardcore right?
[EDIT]
OMG GIMME!

Exotic Cuisine: Chicken and Waffles
Heroes: John Ivers
John Ivers built a roller coaster with his bare hands in his backyard because he was tired of going to his local Six Flags. Brilliant.
Note that he uses a mini-van bucket seat seatbelt and all for the roller coaster car. Genius. EAT THAT DISNEYLAND!
I feel like this guy could easily be my co-worker/neighbor.

A Tribute From Dragon Master
This is the caption for this video:
"My 1st tribute to one of my 4 ultimate fav animals = HORSES ^_^.
To be honest, this isn't my best work :P I just made it for fun actually. My second tribute is much better ;D.
I LOVE horses, and I love this song and thought it would sorta fit so ... hope you all enjoy ^_^. "
WAIT HOLD UP! THERE'S A SECOND TRIBUTE?!?
YES! MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!
Ooh the caption is good for this one too:
"As promised, here is the improved Horses Tribute ^__^. Had a lotta fun with my movie maker's effects, can you tell ;D?? Sadly, I still havn't managed to get a hold of any new horse clips so I'm still working with The Young Black Stallion movie and prologue. I did try to spice them up a bit though ^^."
"NOTES: Please read...
4. ...I myself have no clue as to why a Friesian stallion is galloping around in a desert with an Arab mare, and later producing a pure bred Arab foal XDDDDDDDD;;. "
The other 3 notes were lame.
My New Project
You know I always thought it was weird that they made that Mamma Mia! musical based on ABBA songs. I thought ABBA was kind of a joke in the 70s. Why couldn't they have picked David Bowie?
Seriously though, Wikipedia told me that there is a whole genre of musicals which have songs that have been previously released popular songs and that they're called "jukebox musicals". Now isn't that conceptual?
My point is I'm going to write a musical with AQUA songs. The 90s are alive again!
Isn't their song "Barbie Girl" lyke super inspirational?
Well maybe their opus "Lollipop" will strike a chord with you.
Maybe "Roses are Red" will chisel away that writer's block you have.
Now this one is just a story it it's own. I especially like 1:38, so inspirational!
Seriously though, <3 music I listened to when I was 8.
I HAVE FOUND THE MYTHICAL TEE-SHIRT!
So I was watching this movie a few weeks ago and one of the characters had the most amazing tee-shirt I have ever seen. I just remembered it today and decided to check to see if I could buy it online.
bingo:
I NEED THIS
FINALLY MY CELEB CRUSH'S MUGSHOT ON MY BOOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD!
Genius
Is it really that fulfilling to sample "Genius of Love" by the Tom Tom Club? I mean I know they're amazing and everything and it's cool cuz they went to risd but I realized the other day that so many people have sampled them.
Original:
GRANDMASTER FLASH AND FURIOUS FIVE "It's Nasty":
Then there are like 8 billion hip hop artists who don't have real music videos who have sampled this.
Check out this "video mash-up" with Fergie:
Then of course the classic Mariah Carey hit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv-VwzuDTgM&feature=related
Sony bitches disabled embedding.
Then the cover of the cover:
Has Girl Talk ever sampled "Genius of Love"? Can you name a song that has been sampled more? Is there a more catchy song that should have been sampled by Mariah? Will Annie's "Chewing Gum"
be sampled by the next Mariah then some random person who popularizes the art of video mash-ups mashes it up with the next Fergie who sings a song about Paris video? Where can I find all these answers?? Why is the world such a twisted and repetitive place????????????
Oh L'amour
I love myself for getting the absolute best songs stuck in my head. Gosh Julia you're the best, not going to lie. I actually saw these guys when I was like 14 in Manhattan WITH MY DAD! Best show of my life. I have never been surrounded by more gay men since :(
IN OTHER NEWS:
At work today I was listening to the radio and I heard that damn Justice "Waters of Nazareth" song twice ON THE SAME STATION. Come on Rochester that song came out in 2005. Party's over. If they were really in a mood for the doubles they should have just played Green Day's "American Idiot" twice because they did once...
