RAC Vol. 1

So this is kind of a big deal you guys -- I've been trying to get back into blogging about music again, but the truth is that I haven't been listening to much new music ever since they took our headphone privileges away at work. Anyways, I'm trying to get better about it, so here's something to get you started. There are some oldies, and definitely some goodies. You can listen to it via the player below, or download it by following this link. Trust me, it's worth it.

Do-Over

So, Halloween came around this year, and I spent it completely blacked out. Not that I'm proud of it -- I most definitely am angry at myself for being such a dumbass and drinking NOS energy drink with vodka. It's like crack, kids. Don't do it.

Anyways, this is the conversation between my friend Kevin and I. I pre-partied at the girls' house and then took a cab to the Ogden to go to the Girl Talk show, and after that, we went to a house party. I remember hanging out on the lawn a lot. Was there Frank Sinatra at some point? I don't remember. Anyways, although it was totally pathetic that we didn't remember a lot of the night, it's nice to commiserate with your friends about it:

Kevin: she's alive!!!
Me: um, I think I actually died on Friday, like what the fuck was going on
Kevin: dude, all i honestly remember was thinking was
"i'm in bad shape, but so is whitney. i'm staying on the lawn with her"
i just felt a drunken connection
Me: hahahahahahahah
I threw up behind that house, whoops
Kevin: hahahah i remember saying "i'm gonna go vom in the back" and you're like "ok good, i'm going over here"
Me: hahahahahhahahahhhhahahha
omg!
that's awesome! dude, i blacked out for like 3 hours
i dont remember the concert, i dont remember the party
i hate myself a little
Kevin: me neither
yeah, i definately had that more alcohol = more fun equation going and it FAILED ME
i cussed out a cabby
Me: ahhhahahahahahah
when???
Kevin: dude, on the way home, the cab
driver was like slamming on his brakes and i was like "there are two ways do
stop, the right way, and the fucking way you're doing it! i will puke all
over your fucking car!"
Me: HAHAHAH
fuck yeah!
being a cabbie must suck so bad around like 2am
Kevin: i woke up and found [Marc’s] ID in my wallet. neither of us know why...
Me: HAHAHAH
what a ridiculous night
Kevin: best word used to describe it yet
Me: i woke up with a huge bruise on my head and a massive scrape on my knee, ripped tights, my tail crumpled up in my purse
Kevin: hahahah $80 spent at the ogden, missing jacket, damaged dignity
thats about my toll
Me: i grabbed Kyle's wig off his head because he was complaining about it being too hot and tossed it into the crowd
and then picked a hat up off the floor and wore it to the party (?)
Kevin: HAHAHAHAHAHA
wow thats awesome
Me: dude, damnit
Kevin: at least we all can laugh about it

Damn You, Amy Winehouse!

So for a while here, I figured I was just killing it with the whole blog revamp -- I've been getting upwards of 50 hits a day for a while, which is far and above what I got before. But, according to my hit counter, someone linked a picture I posted of Amy Fucking Winehouse that I put up in passing on my blog. This damned picture keeps sending people to the Google image result on my blog, and while the publicity is nice, it's just not right. I'm not sure what to do to fix it either -- I deleted the picture, but the post is auto-cached through Google, so no dice.

So, in summation, Amy, you're ruining my life, one click at a time.

Cats, Dammit

Because this is my blog and I get to do whatever the hell I want --

A cat scooting around in an open box.

Paint

So, I don't play video games, because even though I don't have a life, I have enough of a life to "have a life" enough to not play video games. Ya dig? Anyways, this is "a 'tech demo' for a videogame that's still in development called The Unfinished Swan. You 'shoot paint' in order to navigate your way through the game's labyrinthian monochromatic levels." And it's really fucking cool.

Giant Lego Man Appears on Brighton Beach

This is pretty awesome. What if you were the one who came across this guy?

It is thought to have washed up on the beach, and was spotted by children
playing there.The Lego man is 6ft tall in red, yellow and green. It is presumed to have washed up on the beach, but whether it has come from a cargo ship or from across the Channel is not clear. Brighton resident Gerry Turner, 34, said: "It's very odd. God knows how it got here but people are saying it's from Holland because it's got some Dutch writing on it. It must have fallen off a boat of something. The kids love it." Children helped stand the Lego man up on the beach, but are still mystified as to where it came from. One said: "It's great, but we don't know why it's here." A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said it didn't know the origin of the Lego man, but said it was fine for it to remain on the beach. He said: "There's no
problem at all. It will be interesting to see how long the Lego man stays there for. We'll keep an eye on it." A different giant Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort in August. That model was yellow and blue, and had the words "No real than you are" in English across its torso. That toy was said to come from England, so perhaps the Dutch decided to return the favour.

I Don't Think I'm Joking ...

Wait, what? What the fuck, JoBros?! I read this article and thought it was poking fun at the Jonas Brothers, but it seems to be legit. At least for now, I could see the backlash (also, how fucking stupid the concept is) cause them to back out of it. But still. Read on:

"The Jonas Brothers will make their first feature film in Walter the Farting Dog, reports Variety.Kevin, 20, Joe, 19, and Nick, 16, along with the Bonus Jonas (their younger brother Frankie) will star as musicians whose parents are asked to take care of a Walter, a dog with has severe flatulence problems.The film is an adaptation of the books written by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray. Filming is expected to start in the spring."

Oh man. I don't get it. Am I too old? I really don't think that back in the day, I would see the Hanson brothers in a movie about a farting dog. Seriously?! A farting dog???

Photo Time

Do you ever go through the photos you've taken on your phone? They're the ones that you've taken because you didn't have a camera, or you wanted to get a shot quick. I was going through mine and figured I would share them with you.

The first one is a requisite New Belgium shot. These were the beers of the couple who sat next to us, where the female, upon getting tipsy on beers, wrote a postcard that went like this: "Mom, I am drunk right now. Why did you leave me when I was little?"
Which, in and of itself, is pretty sobering.

Fort Collins has this arts project that pays artists to paint utility boxes all over downtown. This is of one behind the Lyric. Where I buy my crack.

This was the epic poem that Dan wrote about our equally epic keg race this summer. Hopefully you can make it out.

This picture is also of Dan and I -- some girl with a massive purse (like I can talk) let her bag dangle over the back of our couch. Bad idea. We're like, purse sharks.

Da NA. Da NA. DaNa Dana dana dananananananaa DAAAAAAAA!

This is my step-mother, who apparently had too much fun playing Guitar Hero, and decided to take a nap mid-jam.

This was taken at the Beiruit concert in Los Angeles. I love this photo.

This is of the sky after the tornado passed by Fort Collins. Spooky.

This photo (I think) was one that I took after some German photographer took a few photos of me at Mark's house party in Austin, at the world's most unflattering angle, wearing the world's most ridiculous floppy hat. After reviewing the pictures, I sequestered myself in a room and took pictures that I liked to reassure myself that I wasn't an ogre. This was one of them.

Annnnnnd finally, this is a photo of the pier at Manhattan Beach, in California. It's a little crooked, but I love it because it was cold and no one was around, so it looks lonely and deserted.

What?

You guys, I'm tired today. I can't even think of anything clever to say about this ridiculous video.

Just watch this guy's face. Kthxbai.

Let It Rock

Sooooooo, I guess this is a popular song right now (?)... but I like it. Yes, it is quite good.

I mean, what else do you say about a video with Lil Wayne playing guitar in it? Did you see him on SNL? Can he actually play the guitar? Who knows.

For the Mens

This is a totally ridiculous and completely hilarious blog.
And it's called Boner Party. I can't really describe it, you'll just have to go there, but the guys who write it -- awesome.

Confession

Sure, sure, I love me some obscure indie music. But sometimes I'm such a gay man with my music tastes. Case in point:

Ewwwwwww.

October 22, 2008 --
A SLEW of young celebs enjoyed the pool at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel over the weekend - oblivious to the fact that the hotel staff never drained the water after a dead body was found in the pool a week earlier, sources said.

At 4:30 a.m. Monday Oct. 13, Jordan Nagler, 30, a Rockville Centre, LI, native who was the executive director of International Student Exchange in Babylon, was found dead in the hotel's Tropicana Bar pool. Ed Winter, assistant chief of investigations for the Los Angeles County coroner's office, told The Post's David Finnigan: "He was found at the bottom of the pool wearing swimming trunks. The staff at the hotel found him, but we don't know who actually removed him from the pool."

A Page Six source told us that days after Nagler's body was found, "The hotel management had a meeting, where they told staffers the pool didn't need to be drained" because "there was enough chlorine in it to kill the bacteria." The tipster added, "Following the tragedy, the hotel held a meeting with employees of the Roosevelt, Teddy's [the club inside the hotel] and Tropicana Bar." Staffers were instructed not to "say anything to anyone" because, "We don't want this to get out."

One week later, the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Eve, Kevin Connolly and Stacy Keibler "were swimming in the unchanged water," our source added.

On Monday, Justin Long, Sarah Chalke, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks were there for an Effen Vodka-hosted party. Stephen Brandman, chief operating officer of
Thompson Hotels, which owns the Roosevelt, called reports about not draining the pool and shushing the staff "urban legend." He told us, "Somebody did die, but we don't think anything awkward or bizarre occurred. He had a heart attack." Winter said the cause of death was undetermined. An LA cop told Finnigan there's no homicide investigation and the death "could be a result of alcohol consumption."

I Broke the Internet

After posting that video of the dog blowing bubbles with its nose, I can't seem to find anything that's even remotely close to being as awesome. I think someone finally broke the internet.

OMG. No, wait. I just remembered that I never posted the most bizarre video I've ever seen.



I literally had no idea if the tears I was crying after watching this were of laughter or sadness.

Desperate Times; Desperate Measures

I think at this point, we should all invest in puppies.

Bubbles

This is by far one of the best -- and weirdest -- videos I've seen lately. I think I've watched it like 5 times already and I found it like 3 minutes ago.



Wow, thanks internet.

Holy Crap

This kid just knows he's ridiculous.
