In case you didn’t already know, George Dubya Don’t Play. (originally via in8.com which appears to no longer exist.)
If that doesn’t get your goat (whatever that means), you can watch the new mediocre Prodigy video, a part of the new mediocre Prodigy record, other than that track that rips “Thriller”

First of all, Garden State is easily my #1 movie of this year. It totally speaks to my generations current apathy about all things anything and search for meaning and passion in life. Even though I’m not typically a Natalie Portman fan, she did what the story required of her admirably. Zach Braff has quite a future ahead of him, if this movie is any indication. I’m not ashamed to say there was some welling up toward the end.

Speaking of welling up, my favorite unsigned band of the moment The Upwelling will be playing Mercury Lounge tonight at 11pm, so y’all should come by and check them out!

Oh, by the way, the soundtrack for Garden State is equally amazing. It sounds like the best mixtape you ever created, and includes a dramatic Nick Drake-esque reinterpretation of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” by Iron and Wine. In my top 10 of this year at #2, can’t really see anything knocking it out.

Thats all for me for now.

Seacrest out!

P.S., if the governor of New Jersey is gay, how come its such a hole? Wouldn’t there have been some redecorating done by now?

P.P.S. R.i.P. Julia Child.

In the vein of Requiem Remixes and Six Feet Under remix, composer/producers Synchronic release their remix of the theme from M. Knight Whatshisface’s new shaggy dog waste of time The Village

• Is it possible that Rufus was utterly and completely bored during his set? or was it just me…
• Musical moment of the night: Ben + Rufus duetting on “Careless whisper”. Ben: It’s “Time will never mend the careless whisper of a good friend”, not “Time will never heal” … not that I’d know … not that I have Careless Whisper on 12″
• Conversational moment of the evening:
  Rufus: For the record, you’re a much better piano player than I am
  Ben: Yeah, but you’re much prettier than I am, so…
  Rufus: *pause* *shrug* *smile*

…of course, a lot of this doesn’t really apply to where I work, and if it does, its slowly changing.
