We are the earth intruders

First, something I promised sharkina:

Yeah! Celtic won the Scottish Premiership! Pic above is of Shunsuke Nakamura, my favorite Celtic player. So enthusiastic, and he makes some great goals.
Tangent #1: Ooh, that’s Desmond’s team. Lost is tonight!
Tangent #2: Yesterday I finally heard “Icky Thump,” the White Stripes’ latest single. There’s a part in the middle that made my brother comment, “What? They’re not Irish!” Let’s just say that middle solo sounds very psychedelic Celtic. Haha
Tangent #3: Nakamura! That’s Hiro’s surname! I’ve already commented enough on the past Future episode on other people’s posts, so I’ll just say this: OH MY GOSH NEXT WEEK SENSITIVE!SYLAR VISITS MOM HIRO HAVE TO KILL WHAT REUNIONS WAAAAH. See the Canadian preview for more information.
Tangent #4: I know how to write Nakamura in kanji! I need to study for Japanese…the oral final’s on Friday and the written is on Monday and Tuesday. Waaah taihen desu…

Oh, and yay Liverpool and MILAN YEAH BEAT MAN U! Ricky, Seedorf, and Gila! Aww, now I like both teams in the final…
-hugs Chelsea and Man U fan friends- May the best team win.

Hey rondaview, something to think about… This person is set to finish college in one year.

So, yesterday we also went to Costco. In the car, my brother told me about one Conan episode when Tyra Banks said that someone was “killed to death.” When we stepped outside of the car, we noticed that it said “Partial Zero Emissions” on the back of our new car. And then, inside Costco, there was a display for the “Amish Original Cedar Gazebo.” The strange, it abounds.

Music
- Hey, Entertainment Weekly has Coachella photos up here along with their day-by-day reports. Stereogum thinks that Björk might have been the best set of the fest.
- Check out Arty Fufkin’s latest mashup: “Liar in a Brianstorm (Beyonce feat. Shakira vs. Arctic Monkeys).” At first I thought that he needed to up the volume on the Beyonce/Shakira track more, but now I can’t stop playing it…
- one band with great buzz from Coachella is The Noisettes. Free legal download of “Scratch Your Name” here. Down and dirty rock like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the lead singer does sound a bit like Karen O.
- Found this a while back, forgot to post it: The eleven-minute animated music video for Weird Al’s “Trapped in The Drive Thru.”
- one of the members of Franz Ferdinand made a soundtrack for the Otters Holding Hands video.
- interesting article on the whorification of Joss Stone and other female singers. Why Nelly Furtado seems to always evade this kind of discussions I’ll never know. I mean, she pulled a mini-Jewel (folkish to dance pop) and no one cries sellout. Despite the differences between pre-sellout Jewel and Furtado, there’s a nagging feeling in my mind that it also has something to do with her tan-skinned Latinness…
- oh, and some of the worst music videos ever/

Conan’s San Francisco week is going great. I was thinking of liveblogging it but…yeah, too much. But I must say two things:
1) Those braids on Boba Fett’s costume had to be Wookie braids. The only Jedi with those small braids were padawans during the Old Republic, and thanks to Boba’s fellow Jango clones, there weren’t many of those left by the time Boba got to bounty-hunting. Geekery of the day.
2) Any non-Bay Area people watching Conan O’Brien during San Francisco week? Need help understanding some of the local stuff? Ask away! I’ll try and do my best to aid your comprehension.

Wow that’s a lot of stuff. I think I’ll save the TV and movie links for later. If you’re still bored, check out my new icons! I’ve got new Heroes, soccer, Supernatural, and the dancing Ninth Doctor above. I’ve also brought back a pretty Sun/Yunjin Kim icon, and added even more Shiina Ringo. Yep.

Let’s end with more random!
A Spiderman musical? With lyrics by Bono? Whaaaaaaaat?
Watch this fun footie video via pablo___. Haaa yay Arsenal. Features that song hummed in Lost and Breakfast Club.
And finally…awesome. Plus Doctor Bunny!
