I really like the new DOOM; I also happen to like the snakey, sparse bass playing on the track "Bumpy's Message" in which Freddie Foxxx sounds like he's fucking dying.
I keep bumping in to NYT books articles on David Foster Wallace or vacation homes.
What's up with AIDS research? Are we making any improvements lately? What about Larry David in a Woody Allen movie?
What about falling asleep at the wheel? What about Conservative Oberlin grads speaking their mind on Senator Specter? Right here, Michelle!
I can't stop reading deadspin, I CAN'T! Will Leitch is the writer of things that hurt my brain in that soft, subtle way. So of course they switch it up and let someone else write about a derival, but intriguing sub-plot of ten human body parts.

Dearth of Big Men in the Draft
Who is Blake Griffin?
He is good at dunking with tremendous ferocity, not unlike a feral hamster in heat on the fourth of july.
Who is Ricky Rubio?
He had a turnover in the closing minute of his team DKV Joventut's 3 point win over Gran Canarias while they were down 2 and they still won!
Who is Steven Curry?
He goes to the same school as the girl whose skull you could see through while she was giving you brain.
Who is James Harden?
Who are you?

Hey
J.J. has always been one of my favorite first names.
Cale can be really good steamed (correction: Kale)
Let's start over; NAturally.

Hey, I went to high school with Derrick. One time we played Beat It, yours truly on guitar and himself on the kit. It was a hit with at least 20% of the minorities in attendance at said private K-12 institution.
Everyone likes Galt MacDermot and noone really can say why; allmusic will say his brand of "no-funk" finds its appeal from being so damn cheesy and uncool, people who use the full 10% of their brain would call this unpretentious on the part of señor MacDermot and his personal crew of flunky session players.
Dan The Automator and Prince Paul are blatant fans of the man's jams.
He also wrote the music to the musical HAIR, people younger than myself, who didn't perform in a high school/summer stock/amateur basement version of it, would probably know of the song "Age Of Aquarius" thanks to Judd Apatow directing Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd, Faux-MC Hammer (that poor bastard, might as well have played I NEED $) in The 40 Year Old Virgin
CLick here to add your name to the list of fans of the man's work "Shapes of Rhythm"

I feel like one of those fucking kids in Newsies posting links to a Bethlehem Shoals Sporting News® Post, but I think he is writing about the best sub-plot of the entire playoffs so far. Remember the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh!
I can't comment on the playoffs in any capacity because I'm isolated from the immediate impact the viewing of a game delivers. I DO want to watch Denver play, really badly; almost as much as I can't believe they're actually doing this playoff thing without Iverson; the Jadakis/AI corollary only grows stronger over time, I don't know why, but I always thought the most prophetic thing that ever was uttered by Kiss and Styles P. in tandem went:
J: You might find your man dead in the ocean
P(A little too far away from his microphone): IT BE AIGHT THOUGH
J: You know dead rappers get better promotion.
I wish I wouldn't feel the need to complain about having to work an hour on Friday, because I'm a selfish child, but listen to birds of feather, why not? It's linked below from an earlier day.

Does oxy clean actually work?
Why do fat bearded men get paid exorbitant sums of money to appear on obnoxious infomercials?
Youtube is cool, here's a song called Princess Gika by Galt MacDermot
Here's my favorite track off of the new Doom record, Born Like This:
Coincidence, I think not...
Here's a potentially danceable MP3 that I constructed recently: Algorhythm

Beirut is one of several names that is associated with Beer Pong, a drinking game that jumped the shark long before Rick Reilly was encouraging his sons to flick their way to victory; if ONLY that could have been a lesson to them about finger fucking!
Beirut is one of several names that guy from New Mexico has assumed when recording his lush orchestrations that incorporate elements of Balkan Rhythms, unusual horn/string combinations and one of those very once in a while kind of voices.
Beirut is one of several places I cannot locate on a map without some type of aural aid device.
Jacques Brel is the secret behind all three of these examples; his "Seasons in The Sun" is all I can hear in my mental tapes when I contemplate Canadian Pop in the '70s, even though the performance we are all so familiar with is by one Terry Jacks. Peep his allmusic.com profile if time allows for enhanced factoids and related artists.
Here's a certain work of his that you can find all about by clicking through!

When you want to figure out a room's acoustic tendencies you can stick a microphone next to a speaker that runs a feedback loop of the single phrase you wish to have heard perfectly clear by as many of those in attendance as possible; "The reason we're all here is to get along."
So, the blog can have it's own feedback loop if it wants to with the uploads.
Here's one from a band that featured a gay guy, Elliott Smith and a guy who married a member of a band that I always thought was full of lesbians, Sleater-Kinney.
Anyhoo, it's here.
Speaking of Portland, who's excited for the playoffs? I for one, having not witnessed a single regular season game, don't know what to think; what's the playoffs without either Mike Dunleavy?

Ok, pre-release party, but first: Harvard has problems, yikes...and now, birds of a feather; I wrote a poem in the genre section, kind of. Thank you's and other things tomorrow, until then, listen up!
and check out minnie ripperton at Nice Guy Eddie's joint, those who know know, or so said a great sage of the college age daze once, we thought.
Berlin?

Oberlin at large
First of all, I have no comment as to the tendencies of Oberlin College graduates; that shit is nobody's business but themselves.

For the lazy non-copy past crowd.
St. Francis loved the birds
so it's only right
to head on out to capastrano
even if it's for just one night
I can't spell too well
especially not digital
toes and fingers
feign inertia
read a book
who is this bird? I found out about her here: LDP KOO KOO!
I was at my free beach house flat earth piso México, with Germans, A French gal, a finnish-american princess (a frog and a princess together, just like Tom Robbins said...) and of course the entire Italian Royal family.
