Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And on the off chance that anyone liked what they heard in that post, Zdob si Zdub is now available on iTunes! I left my Agroromantica cd in Moldova when I left, and I've missed it so. But I'm downloading it right now, AIFG!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

smonster, thanks for sharing those links! I listened to the first song and really dug it, and will check out the rest later.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cibo Matto reunites.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, but when is Butter 08 going to reunite, huh?

So, I'm reading the comments on AVClub and they're going off on a tangent about amusingly inappropriate songs for strippers (like, "Detachable Penis) and I thought: "You know what would be perfectly inappropriate for a lapdance? Belle and Sebastian."

Now I'm imagining a strip club and the dancer coming out in a black leotard and doing a very interpretive dance to "Stars of Track and Field" including lots of track and field mime, especially those little hops the javelin throwers give after they've launched their spear.

I really want to see that in a movie, now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Starring Zooey Deschanel.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Zooey could totally make that work. Though originally I was thinking more of Judy Greer.

Oooh, totes bitchin' Mojo Jojo guitar.

Relatedly and just because: Mojo Jojo vs. Spider-Man.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Really great interview with Allan Arkush, the director of Rock 'n' Roll High School. I'm posting here & not Movies, because it's mostly about Joey Ramone. [link]

Following up on Katherine Whalen, here's a new video from her. [link] (full disclosure: the drummer is my friend's bf)

She's got a Kickstarter project up to help get her record out, if you're interested. [link] It closes May 24th.
