Dang dogg but if it ain't been a long time

I ain't updated this bliggety-blog in a solid year and some but I've had some major urge to do some public writing (which is like public sex except more acceptable and there isn't some creepity-ass Serbian guy filming it) and I already had this domain up.

So first a real quick music round-up:

This has been one of my favorite videos for pretty much ever and stands as a good testament to why, exactly, John Darnielle commands a following only slightly less devoted than Haile Selassie (although waaaaay whiter).

Found this tune on Amazon earlier today, and it's definitely worth checking out. Very much in the Dresden Dolls / World/Inferno Friendship Society vein (though not as awesome as the latter), with a bit of that Tilly and the Wall Four-girls-shouting-in-unison sound. And it's free which, let's face it, should be the case with all absinthe-soaked cabaret guttersnapes.

And I'm just gonna put Shipping Up to Boston here because any day that doesn't include that isn't a real day.


Also, Pat Robertson is HELLA dumb. Ignoring the subtext of his statement-- that violently attacking someone who has deviant desires, whether they act on them or not, is somehow okay--you ever read much about a duck's genitals? To summarize Miriam Goldstein via Not David Attenbrough, "oh, EW! Ew ew ew ew ew ew. BARF!" This opinion...is BULLshit.

So that's it for now, but I'ma try to keep this regular for a while.
