Mash Ups

My oldest brother Christopher has officially gotten me into the world of Mash Ups through the DJ Girl Talk. I'm convinced this is where our postmodern word is taking music. I was talking to my musician friend Andrew Walker and he pointed me this minty fresh beats mash up of Jay-z and Radiohead. Well needless to say, I am hereby announcing my love for mash ups. Especially good ones like Danger Mouse's Grey Album or Jaydiohead. I have to say that of those two, I like the Radiohead and Jay-z mash up the most.


I am very interested in how both DJ mash-ups and the baroque pop-neo folk revolution are happening at the same time in music. To me they are one and the same. I'm just as excited about Andrew Bird, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens as I am about Danger Mouse, Jaydiohead and Girl Talk. Which probably proves I am a full fledged member of the postmodern world to where I love tradition as much as I love the modern. Solomon truly got it right when he lamented that there is nothing new under the sun. And where music is going these days, proves him to be right.

AD

This is probably my favorite super bowl AD. I think coke did a good job showing just how disconnected we are as a society and pushed their brand all at the same time. Would the world be world be a better place if everyone gave each other a coke? Of course not! But who the heck cares. Grab a coke. haha

Proof creativity with music videos is not dead

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie is by far one of the coolest music videos I've seen in a while.

Best Intro

I was thinking today about some of my favorite cartoons from different periods of my life and decided to come up with a short list of the best intros of those cartoons.

Batman: The Animated Series



Freakazoid



and probably the best intro...ever

La Blogotheque is the source of all things awesome. Not really, but that made for a good title.

A simple equation for awesome: new favorite band + new favorite song + La Blogotheque = awesome.

The Welcome Wagon

I've been driving around listening to this band all week.

Now this is funny

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Fleet Foxes makes one cool music video

White Winter Hymnal

Dissing your dog

This is for Christopher. Maybe sarcasm will work on Bob?

Delta Spirit, you make me happy
