So that bird pooping in the reporter’s mouth was fake. Bob Odenkirk is funny. Even if it is fake.

More like GOD Odenkirk.

Mr. Show was untouchable, but to find out he contributes to Tim and Eric Awesome Show, and now this. This just gets me excited for the future of media in general.

This song—Homecoming, by The Teenagers—reminded me of the Onion article European Men Are So Much More Romantic Than American Men vs. American Women Studying In Europe Are Unbelievably Easy. Found on Buzzfeed.

it’s funny because i was thinking about posting this video, and the next morning someone else had. it’s alright though. i’ve been listining to the album non-stop latley though. it’s really lots of fun. v, degrading to women. but whatever, just don’t take it seriously. also, my writing class was cancled so i have a shot in hell of surviving today. i think i’ll watch cashback and do my drawing homework.

I like how sweet and innocent the video is.

A while ago on some Blog that i subscribe to on Google Reader, this guy posted recordings from a water logged acetate record that sold for $500,000 on ebay. The person who sold it purchased it for 25 cents at a yard sale. The original owner found it in the basement of an old studio. He assumed it was just some bootleg of Velvet Underground & Nico but it turns out it was the first studio recording of the Velvet Underground. It’s cool to here the original mixes of the songs as many of them are different.

I want it!

Barack was such a badass back in the day. The campaign should get their EXIF data straight though, Flickr says this was taken in 2004 with a 10D (no way) and I want some real details about it. (via claudia)

“ — Eric Lodwick. I think I might’ve taken Chuck’s quote out of context a little bit. A lot of the points made here, he actually agrees with - he said a lot of interesting stuff that I didn’t catch word for word. His tone is definitely the most offputting because if you know him, he’s really set in his ways. However, I think for the most part, he’s right. At the core of it, it’s an argument against people who want to be perceived as artistic, but are too lazy to find out and pursue what actually interests them - and in turn become an amalgum of second-hand interests who are left with no particular passion one way or the other. He was more or less using those movies as an example (obviously not everyone who thought Napoleon Dynamite was funny thinks this way, in fact I remember Chuck saying he loved it) as something thats artistic and sometimes doing the right thing, but also readily accessible. I asked him if he meant “Hipster” and he said that this was something different and broader. I must agree with higher standards being a good thing, but at the same time I can’t stand it when this safe art gets an oscar nomination. Agreed! I think I was just calling this out to make a point on the H-word situation. Let us hang out and discuss further!

“ There needs to be some name for this awful culture of young kids that are into shit like that, and listen to boring indie acting like it’s something special. And who think Juno & Napoleon Dynamite are amazing. Who post pictures of themselves on MetroNorth going to The Strokes concert ‘downtown.’ Eat shit. The idiots that say “so… yeah” the second a conversation stops. And who read classic literature just to run their mouths about it. Man what are they called? They like American Apparel a lot and they all “know how to use PhotoShop.” Basically victims of the commercial “indie” tidal wave. No artistic ability or inclination needed! It’s easy - anyone can do it!

This makes me feel bad for this kid, but mostly just for our generation. There is already a name for that concept, but it isn’t something worth talking about unless you feel bad or are uncomfortable with yourself. “Hipster”. It is a word that people who either don’t understand what it means to exist in our current state or are uncomfortable doing so say. Sure, lots of things in our world suck, but we are close to making them better. There is an awful mainstream which some people like and some don’t. Most people suck. We need to stop dwelling on how much people around us suck, and just keep working on making things better. It’s too easy to just say “too many people have photoshop”. It is a necessary tool in our current state. One result is that it makes bad artist better. The result? Higher standards. Now the great artists are ones who are truly innovative. I loved Napoleon Dynamite, I walked out of Juno in the first 20 minutes. It’s a matter of taste, not of anything else. Juno was an obvious attempt to hit a G-spot in the Vaginal Demographic marketing firms see within our age range. If that demographic is the one Chuck is referring to, than you see where we get with summing up groups.
