psthe masses say, “die antwoord performs music which incorporates many zef elements . . . a south african slang term that describes a unique south african style which is modern and trashy and also includes out-of-date, discarded cultural and style elements . . . yolandi was quoted as saying, ‘it’s associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. zef is, you’re poor but you’re fancy. you’re poor but you’re sexy, you’ve got style.'”

i’m tearing up, acrost your face
move dust through the light
to fide your name
it’s something fane
this is not a place
not yet awake,
i’m raised of make
still alive who you love
still alive who you love
still alive who you love
in a mother, out a moth
furling forests for the soft
gotta know been lead aloft
so i’m ridding all your stories
what i know, what it is,
is pouring – wire it up!
you’re breaking your ground

A few things:

1...NJ gets Jack Nicholson? No fair!
2...Last week, I messed up the math in my checkbook in the bad way.
3...Let’s just say, I’m delighted my cousin has yet to cash her Bat Mitzvah money.
4...This week, I messed up the math in my checkbook in the good way.
5...Let’s just say, I’m delighted (period).

PS – I cannot stop listening to this ridiculous mash-up.

butts, not regrets.

I downloaded Das Racist’s Sit Down, Man mixtape yesterday (for freezies – hooray!) and now I’m officially freaking out.  Baby.  Babe.  Babe!  It’s ..S..O…..G..O..O..D.. that listening to it is kinda like going on a first date where you don’t spend any money, say “poop” multiple times throughout the evening, and still seem sexy enough to merit a killer make out session on a cement turtle in the section 8 playground right behind your apartment (this may or may not be inspired by actual events in Amy’s life).  Not to mention, their mixtape includes a superhot remix of The Very Best’s “Julia.”  Ugh, I die.

butt-seriously.
do your ipod a solid
and download this shit.

there will be time for that too.

Hang With Me by Robyn

will you tell me once again
how we’re gonna be just friends?
if you’re for real and not pretend
then I guess you can hang with me

and if you do me right
I’m gonna do right by you
and if you keep it tight
I’m gonna confide in you
I know what’s on your mind
there will be time for that too
if you hang with me

just don’t fall
recklessly, headlessly in love with me
cause its gonna be
all heartbreak
blissfully painful and insanity
if we agree

oh you can hang with me . . .
.

PS – Right now, Robyn is subletting my iPod.
PPSI cannot wait until September 7, 2010.

remember the icing, very important.

“Imagine a sweet shop, a really really big one with shelves filled from floor to ceiling – bursting with all sorts of sweets and candy. There is chocolate, liquorice, caramel, sweet and salty, hard and soft – everything your heart desires. Besides the ones you have already picked out as your favorites, the ones you know for sure will not disappoint you, there are still so many boxes and jars filled with intriguing treats, all colorful and tempting and you want at least one of each. It is so hard to choose which ones go in the tiny bag in your hand and which ones you will have to skip.
.
Now, it is important that the selection you end up with is good since you will have to share it with all your friends at home.There has to be both something sweet and something sour, something longlasting and something that gives a moment of delight- it has to be the perfect mix for the perfect night. You must fulfill everyone’s expectations, but it is also important to add some suprises to the bag that will love once they taste it for the first time.
.
It is like developing the ultimate cake recipe. A tad of this, a pinch of that, stir it well, add some sunshine, a little love and a whole lot of creativity and diversity. Stir again and leave it to rest for a while before you add the final secret ingredient and put it in the tin to bake it. Remember the icing, very important! Be careful with the ingredients; good quality raw materials always give the best results.
.
At Trailerpark Festival you will get both the cake and the candy.”

damn your love, damn your lies.


Florence & the Machine at Reading, 2008. Andy Sheppard

I decided a long time ago that if I ever found myself about to head into battle, the intro from Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” would be essential to my getting pumped up and angry enough to hold my own during that pivotal moment in my life. While surfing for a download of the track this morning, I stumbled upon a video of Florence and the Machine’s kickass cover that she and her band performed back in June at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival.  Ooooh no they didn’t! (yeah, yeah they did)
.
yo yo yo, flo-ro!
why you gotta blow my mind?
now it’s fighting time.

my morning, a little bit stranger.

I just downloaded Kitsune Noir’s Mixcast No. 37. It’s a compilation of songs that remind Bobby of his exes and it’s really thoughtful and lovely. As I walked out of Birch Coffee this morning, I was listening to his mixcast and “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” by Rufus Wainwright started playing. .While Rufus sang,

if i should buy jelly beans
have to eat them all in just one sitting
everything it seems i like’s a little bit sweeter
a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me

.
I looked down at my feet and saw there were jelly beans everywhere.

peace out, girl scouts.

In case you’re wondering, the working city is going crazy right now on a high five fever buzz.  Why?  Because weather dot com says that tomorrow’s high will be climbing to {wait for it} .86°F. Uhh, excuse me?  Oh, you’re serious.  Well in that case, yes for me.  So in light of this development, I’ve decided to time machine it to Saturday @ 2pm by putting together a 9-5 Friday mixtape.  Wanna join me?  I’d love a buddy.  Oh!  If you have any track suggestions in the spirit of later, day job. i got some awesome shit to do, leave me a comment yo.

I’ll add them mad quick.

once again, i’m from indiana not india.

Grabbing a cup of coffee around 7pm last night :

Dude: ..What are you up to tonight?
Me: ..I’m seeing Owen Pallett at Webster Hall.
Dude: ..Owen Pallett? Who’s that? What’s his music like?
Me: ..I guess he’s kinda like a super lovely electronic fairytale.
Dude: ..Soooo something you should be tripping out to?
Me: ..Yeah, but only one of those really airy, easy, whimsical trips.
Dude: ..{doesn’t understand what I’m saying at all}
Me: ..You know, with horses . . . and farmers.
