Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell

 Ever since I heard TPC’s amazing EP, A Lesson In Crime, I’ve been super-psyched about hearing a full-length album’s worth of that manic, sawtooth sound.  Look’s like I’m going to have to wait a little longer.

What is it with these bands, man?!  Just give me more of what you gave me the first time I heard you!  It’s like, “Yep, that sound we created is awesome and distinctive and totally engaging, we did it.  Now let’s ease off on that a little and try to develop our songwriting.”  Fuck your songwriting.  Give me the urgency.   If I was a fan of bands abandoning what’s awesome about them in favor of boring pretentious bullshit songcraft, I’d still be listening to Pearl Jam.

Here’s a great way to “decrease your global footprint” that people don’t talk about.  Stop buying books.  This way less trees will have to be cut down to make more copies of “Earth: The Sequel.” Here’s a great way to “decrease your global footprint” that people don’t talk about.  Stop buying books.  This way less trees will have to be cut down to make more copies of “Earth: The Sequel.”

Wedding Vegetables!!!

I just laughed for about five minutes over this term.  This is hilarious and I have no idea why I’ve never heard this before. 

For the record, I learned about this term from this Slate article.

Another great video from the 80s, before MTV realized there was much more artistic value in decrying poverty out of one side of its mouth while with the other side glorifying super-rich fucktards who deserve to be locked in a room with six angry Florida high school girls and a video camera.
