real news item? not a real news item? the world will never know… or i could probably do a quick internet search but i’m too tired to care. content is NSFW, but the language is technically PG. technically.
if you want Star Wars puns, it would be tough for me to outdo the write-up in Wired’s gadget blog where i found this, so just go there instead. the Darth Vader Alarm Clock is available from Sakar at stores near you, and also possibly in a galaxy far, far away. (there, are you happy now?)
something to artificially sweeten your morning coffee. this is quite a pretty song from Pink Mountaintops, and i just thought i would share it with the world. so world, doesn’t that feel better?
Jeff Buckley – Lover, You Should Have Come Over
no, not good enough? how about another then? this song from Jeff Buckley, may he rest in pieces, started playing on shuffle right after the Pink Mountaintops. maybe it will get you excited for the upcoming Starsailor show at the Troubadour. stay gold, Ponyboy. stay gold.
something to artificially sweeten your morning coffee. doing a music edition today… Castanets have long been one of my favorite bands, and the song You Are The Blood is so beautiful it makes me cry. literally. well the song is also big with the kids these days, and the Dark Was The Night Red Hot Charity compilation that TINTothy posted about earlier features not one, but TWO incredible renditions of an already great song from Sufjan Stevens (the second with an assist from Buck 65 and Serengeti)… so i’m posting all three here for your listening pleasure. so buy the album for charity, and then go out and give the artists money somehow. i recommend untraceable small bills via direct donations. or you can buy them hookers. free sex is always a nice way to show someone that you care. (jesus satan is also accepting donations.)
