chrryblssmninjaIt’s been a bad week, and yesterday I really messed things up with school stuff. I might not post next week, though I will continue to comment because that makes me happy. The chocolate I am eating now makes me happy (the bar cost $6.25 , but it is Amano and so hard to find and so worth it). Supernatural made me happy- “Maybe they have superhearing!” New Heroes will also make me happy. Anyways…here’s the massive link dump.
Music
MUSE (well, 2 out of 3 of them) stopped by the Live 105 studios when they were in town two weeks ago. Here’s video from their interview.
Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. They like Korean barbeque!
Descriptive track listing of the White Stripes’ latest album, “Icky Thump.” The list sounds like NME on full-on promo mode, but I like hearing that there’ll be some psychedelic twists on the CD. Awful album name, but it I think the songs will sound awesome.
Which emo are you? According to it, I’m most like the Indie emo, since I like the Mars Volta (they are influenced by Can) and MUSE.
Want to know what song was in that movie preview?
France’s Eurovision entry has been getting quite a bit of blog buzz. One of the you tube comments is classic: “barthez is a singer?”
“New Rave” Klaxons seek to ban glowsticks
Dude, these guys sound so much like early MUSE. Free, legal MP3 to download on that page. I don’t like the singer’s voice as much as Matt Bellamy’s, but you be the judge.
Stanford has a hip hop archive?

cleolinda:
William Fitchner to be in The Dark Knight? wow.
Matthew Fox to be in Speed Racer?
Laurence Fishburne to voice the Silver Surfer?
Edward Norton is the next Incredible Hulk?
Evangeline Lilly to star in movie?
Giovanni Ribisi to play Einstein?
Ender movie to go on?
And, something less insane: Pizza as a weapon.
The World
Fat is the feminine ideal in Mauritania. Fat or thin, forcing body image can hurt people.
Oh, andcleolinda said something great that I wanted to post here:
“(Here's my thought on that in a nutshell: Violent movies and videogames do not make people violent. Violent people are attracted to violent media. Of course, so are many of the rest of us, just for different reasons. I ended up watching The Matrix about 46,000 times--at one point on a three-day loop--for the book, and I shot nobody. If you want to talk about warning signs, don't look at the kid's taste in movies or his literary output--look at those two things in the context of his real-life behavior, which was already disturbing his teachers and classmates. Stephen King? A folksy, personable guy in real life. Quentin Tarantino? Full of energy and enthusiasm. Consequently, no one expects them to go on shooting rampages. The bitter, stalkative kid who won't even speak when spoken to, who also writes about bloody murder sprees? For God's sake, keep an eye on him.)”
Videos
Even if you don’t like Will Ferrell, you MUST see this video. Soooooo cute. There are no words. Oh my gosh. Please watch this.
Another great video, viagreeniebach: Johnny Weir, Gregory, and Petukov perform together on ice. Yup, that’s right, three people on ice. I so wanted to see this. Not perfect, but still creative, refreshing, and well executed.
Mohinder teaches Sylar FUN!
And, finally, my brother found this great video of Dean Winchester quotes.
I want to post my Exploratorium pics someday. Waah.
