Who Likes Music?

pandora

So many websites have tried to tap into the flooded and undefined world of “digital music.” Most of these sites are clunky and don’t really have anything to offer people who usually delve a little deeper in sub genres than the general populous. Pandora.com has you choose an artist, then you choose a song and say “this is what i want to hear more of” and they go find more artists that sound like the song you’ve selected.

It works surprisingly well and they have a lot of content I wasn’t expecting (matching a Low song to an old Pedro the Lion song? awesome). Give it a go. You’ll be hooked.

Ben Stiller X Owen Wilson X Jack Black

from wikipedia—heat vision and jack
“Heat Vision and Jack was a proposed 1999 comedy/sci-fi television show starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Ron Silver. Christine Taylor guest starred in the pilot episode, the only episode filmed. The show was directed by Ben Stiller.
While the Fox Network didn’t pick up the show, the pilot gained an online following. The show was written and executive produced by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, of Scud: The Disposable Assassin, Channel 101, and “Dead Alewives” fame.”

If this is what rhythm heaven looks like, I’m not too sure I want to go there and be forced to punch out lightblubs and hit baseballs in outer space all day.
Games like this scare me, yet at the same time I can’t wait.

All this week, I’ve been juggling the fact to if I should get the new Jordan 4′s Fire Red “Mars”. The night before, my friend convinced me not to get them…until I saw Anthony having the alarm set to 5:55 am. I thought to myself, “Fuck it, I’ll sleep later today on top of my art history books in Borders”.

Gnarls Biggie Album



Ah touché, Dangermouse! Looks like they used your ideas against you.

Gnarls Biggie is an independently released, infringement-laden remix project put together by the increasingly (g)notorious DJ unit, Sound Advice. The disc is filled with chopped Gnarls Barkley tracks, and layered with the timeless lyrics of New York’s black Frank White, Biggie Smalls. Completed over the past few weeks, the disc has been repeatedly removed from MySpace, but that hasn’t thwarted its creators. If anything it has made them work harder to share their creation with music lovers. Sit back, relax and give it a listen.

Sleeping In Seattle

If you went on Micah’s exclusive page and was wondering about his post entitled “Hey Apollo” with a pair of shorts, well it leads to this. Back in February for our NY trip I remember Micah saying how he hasn’t worn shorts since his 8th grade. He finally settled into his new apartment and invited the members to come visit and since I’ve never been to Seattle before, I might as well tek up his offer…under one condition. He would have to wear a pair of shorts.

who says wE™ don’t skate!?

Apollo and I went to my favorite ledges in all the world and got a few snapshots to show you that we can still throw down. Just akwardly, and slowly, and in my case, with an extreme lack of style
