yeah i suck. but i had 2, so here is the third:

pitchfork made a list of 100 awesome music videos and included links on youtube to every single one.

if you are reading this site, i promise there is a video on there for you: from pavement to ozzy, public enemy to royksopp, dj shadow to lionel ritchie, with a stopover with the chicago bears doing the superbowl shuffle, this list has it all.

momus on the end of ‘top of the pops’
“The death of Top Of The Pops really does feel like the end of a certain subculture in Britain. Add it to the death of John Peel and the closure of Smash Hits magazine, and it really does seem like one of the few truly magical British things, an Aladdin-l

Fisting and God’s Will

he is never asking for money; usually he is just standing outside of blockbuster. but what surprised me the other day (but shouldn’t have at all) is seeing the man standing there talking on a cell phone. it was a juxtaposition i wasnt used to seeing. but reading this wired article tells me that it may be the exception. (i know cris bruce had a blog and was homeless for a while, but i again wasnt sure this was within the range of ‘normal’.)

there is a part of me that likes the idea of a stripped down life. im sure im not the only one — look at the cult following ‘fight club’ has. its not just about the anger and the fighting. there is a large chunk of anti-capitalist sentiment in the movie, a desire to move away from a consumer model. i would love to be self-sufficient. probably more than anything. but im not there yet and i don’t know of a great plan to pull myself off of the grid and focus on myself. and thats ok for now. im happy with almost every single aspect of my life currently. and thats a good start.

but i like the idea of not buying into routine.
