SKLDIOIEJOSD:LKFJLKDO!!!

sigur-ros
sigur ros's new album is pretty cool. they even sing in english on one song! holy not-crazy-icelandic-spanglish batman! the song below is my favorite from the album. it's more happy and not as atmospheric as much of their stuff tends to be. it almost reminds me of the flaming lips. the percussion is wonderful.

LET'S GET LOST TONIGHT

kanye-west-glow-in-the-dark-tour
this was probably the best concert i've ever been to. i am still in awe thinking about it. i was expecting greatness, and my expectations were exceeded. needless to say, next time kanye is in town, i'm there.

here's the breakdown:

lupe fiasco - kills it live. absolutely perfect. he is next in line.

n.e.r.d - throws a party. pharrell has got it down. not only do they dj, but they use a live band as well... with two full drumsets. it's sick.

rihanna - girl can sing. also, she is hot like fire. i'm going to marry her. screw you, chris brown.

kanye west - between the incredible stage set (giant led screens, moon terrain, lights, etc.) his flawless delivery, and the stripped down, bass heavy, live orchestrated songs, i almost peed myself. kanye might get on some people's nerves, but he backs up the game he talks. he knows what he's doing. for this tour, he's turns the show into this space opera of him crashing on an alien planet and trying to get home. he uses this backstory to connect all of his songs seamlessly. except for the slight break when he plays hey mama (understandable. his mom recently died pretty tragically), he rips through everything straight. it's pretty incredible.

once i get the pictures and videos from chelsea, i'll throw them up to back my claims of incredibility.

HORSE SEX IN THE CITY

horseface
or is it whores sex in the city? oh man. pun. words cannot describe how dumb i think this show is. actually, no. as a male, i actually have to applaud the creators of the show for coming up with something that so masterfully caters to female fantasies. they tapped into every girl's insecurities and made millions.

i mean, the women who watch the show are given a main character who manages, despite being very average-looking (and that is a generous adjective), to end up with a tall, handsome, successful, wealthy guy—mr. right (or big, i should say.) this definitely appeals to the female fantasy of being an ordinary woman who still manages to snag a man (who might be out of her league) who satisfies all of her needs for a protector/provider.

then you have the most attractive woman on the show ending up with the short, bald guy, thus both satisfying the need of the average woman hoping to see the beautiful one end up with a nerd (while simultaneously sending the message "look how noble we women are—we don't care about looks!")

then there's the female character who satisfies the "have sex like a man without getting emotionally involved" fantasy. and lastly of course, there's the final character who satisfies the need to have a realistic character who actually acts sort of like a real woman in the real world.

the show is basically an excuse for girls to fantasize for two and a half hours. i can deal with that. just don't say it's "good." it's not.

by the way, dressing up in cute dresses and drinking cosmopolitans before going to this movie is no different than the 40 year old guys who dress up like stormtroopers or gandalf.

ps. sarah jessica parker gets turned into glue at the end of the movie.
