1) Read this article about single topic gimmicky “meme” blogs (i.e. this is why you’re fat, look at this fucking hipster, fuck yeah anne hathaway, stuff white people like, etc.). It’s pretty tits. And then go to fuckyeahbatman.

2) Vice interview with Donnie Andrews, the real life Omar Little of The Wire. Gangstaaa. (FYI: Pres. Obama says Omar is his favorite character on the show. That’s right people, OBAMA’s favorite character from his favorite show is a ruthless, gay murderer with a Robin Hood streak.)

“A stick-up artist… you take your modern-day gangsters and you put them in a hat, you got the Dapper Don who had Sammy The Bull, Al Capone had Frank Nitti. These are guys who were enforcers, they make the gangsters – if it wasn’t for us, them guys called gangsters wouldn’t exist.” – Donnie

3) Weezy lyrics on Snack’s n Shit. Haaaa. Rappers are silly people.

4) Gorilla vs Bear gives us their “favorite albums of the first half of ‘09“… not feeling it. AnCo too low, White Denim too high (coming from a BIG fan) and Phoenix just bores me. Thoughts?

5) Watch Weiner Falls, a parody of Dawson’s Creek… with more ballz:

Hey broke NY music fans! looking for an awesome way to spend your Sundays? Well I sure as fuck got one. This summer, JELLY is producing 8 FREE shows on at the riverfront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 90 Kent Ave btw N8th and N9th St. The shows will all take place on Sundays between the 12th of July and the 30th of August, from 2-8pm. And this isn’t what you’d expect for the free shows, this is the good stuff. I’ll be going to at least half of these, so if you want your picture taken, just lose some clothing and play on the slip n’ slide.

Things they’ll have: “DODGEBALL, basketball, DJ’s, bands, burgers the works!”
Things you shouldn’t bring: Click here (funny ha ha).

Really, the point of this post is this song:

Yeasayer – “Tightrope”

I slid by this album a few weeks ago but hot damn, it’s fucking good. It was put together by Red Hot, an organization based out of NY that arranges albums to raise money for AIDS charities. So anyway, here’s the projected line up from Dark Was The Night’s site:

Sunday May 3 at Radio City Music Hall featuring several of the artists that contributed to the compilation including Dave Sitek, Dirty Projectors, Feist, My Brightest Diamond, The National, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings plus more to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, March 13 at 11am via Ticketmaster. Dark Was The Night – Live begins at 8pm (doors will open at 7).

Since then we’ve heard David Byrne and Grizzly Bear will be joining in the ruckus, according to Feist. Who may or may not be lying. But that’d be mean. And I don’t picture her as a liar, her voice is too delicate for harsh words. Although I suppose that’s how they get ya… (seriously I don’t know who’s confirmed but it will be a great show regardless).
