Angela Trimbur is my inspiration.
I will film my own very soon, just need the right location and song.
Internets Star of the Day: YouTube rapper Kitty Pryde has ridden the Tumblr wave to become the week’s biggest music meme after her latest Internets-inspired track, “Okay Cupid,” garnered positive reviews from Vice, The Fader, and even the New York Times.
Vice‘s Luke O’Neil gives props to the youngster’s odd mix of humor, sex, hashtags, and ingenuity: “Kitty Pryde is basically the much sharper, self-aware, suburban high school version of Kreayshawn.”
Kitty Pryde weighs in:
I don’t think I’m following in her footsteps or anything, but the same kind of thing is happening, like ‘Oh she’s cute, this makes me laugh. It’s not good, but it’s funny.’ You send the link to your friends, and then it’s a big joke. Which is good, that’s what I wanted. But I want people to laugh with me, not laugh at me.
[thanks, don!]
OH M Y FUCKIN GOD
Yeah I can’t. In a good way.
Pale Kid Raps Grammar of the Day: Fast-rapper Mac Lethal lays down a little Strunk & White to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know.”
Your move, Watsky.
(Not Safe For Work, your a f*cking idiot.)
Tenacious D Play ‘Roadie’ on ‘Letterman’
They chose the more straight-forward single for the ever dry Letterman who was one of the only late night talk show hosts to refer to them as “The Self-Proclaimed” Greatest Band in the World when they first appeared on the show almost a decade ago. Conan, Jon Stewart at least called it like it is. This song is def one of the strongest on the album and the video with Danny McBride is amazing.
Watch Tenacious D Battle The Devil In “Beelzeboss”
Interesting switch-up on the last verse, but glad to see they’re rocking “the greatest song in the world” (not the Tribute to it) and littered it with a shit ton of swear words. The long beeeeep at the beginning when they’re singing fuuuuuuuuuuck is the best part.
The Death Set - Is it the end again?
New Video for “Is it the End Again” directed by Sebastien Landry off the record “Michel Poiccard” (Ninja Tune / Counter records, 2011).
We thought we’d deliver something you wouldn’t expect from us…
Lyrics…
IS IT THE END AGAIN?
Is it the end again?
What reason is it this time?
I thought we’d overcome…
15,000 miles, several dreams, every obstacle imaginable
I thought we’d overcome…
But our time might be ruined, a silly mantra, when I
Thought we’d overcome…
Right lies to the right people, I can’t believe they didn’t call our bluff
And I thought we’d overcome…But it is the end, not the end again, not the end again
On the phone, excited again, believing again, and I
Thought we’d overcome…
Finally together once more, in two days, moving in, thoughts forward
And I thought we’d overcome…
Clawing your way up from the very bottom, I knew it was your style
And I thought we’d overcome…
But like a firework you were, beautiful to watch reach for the sky,
Then explode but I still can’t believe it happened thoughIt is the end, not the end again, not the end again
But it is the end, the actual end, not the end again
I love The Death Set, and this is a bit of a departure, but it’s such a good song and the video is quite literally gut-wrenching in its conflict of emotions regarding the excitement of new love, and the vague end of something solid.
