A Quick Post

Ok two weeks is long enough so here are the Things I Am Looking Foward To This Week

• My all covers show of Obscene Binary on Thursday. It is a fundraiser show so if you enjoy WUSC and what it stands for please donate. Even if it is not during my show. You know the website. If not it is located to your right.
• Parks and Recreation- I hope Amy Pohler does well. Well she should and she will have help as well. I expect good things.
• Lost-Ben being judged by the mysterious smoke monster.
• Doctor Who “Planet of the Dead” - The first of the last specials featuring David Tennant.
• Washing my car- Saturday is sunny and I will be at my parent’s house so that will finally get done

That is this week in a jiff. Hopefully a full post on the weekend. I am thinking webisodes.

What Are My Top Music Video of the Year 2008?

Ah it is Monday and I am off of work and School is over, I am getting so bored waiting for the grades to come in. The anticipation is really getting to me. I hate waiting, but what is the best cure for being impatient. Viewing Music Videos.

Unlike my list for the top Albums of 2008, my top Music Videos of 2008 have no order. They just come as I see them. How long is the list? I have not a clue. The way I decide which videos are my favorite, I look at creativity and music. Creativity is my main focus though. In the past I enjoyed videos that kept my attention by being eccentric and showing beauty.

Let us start.

For The Awesome:
Golden Age - TV on the Radio

For The Artistic:
Soon We’ll Be Found - Sia

For The Future:
The Youth - MGMT

For The Posh:
Guilt - The Long Blondes

For The Nostalgic:
Kim & Jessie - M83

For The Broken Hearted:
Who’s Gunna Save My Soul Now? - Gnarls Barkley

For The Bollywood Enthusiast:
Carmensita - Devendra Banhart

For The Lovers:
Ladies of the World - Flight of the Conchords

For The Lonely Zombie:
Crimewave (Crystal Castles vs. Heath) – Crystal Castles

For The One Up To A Challenge:
Strange Times – The Black Keys

For Last Spot At A Deadline:
Paper Planes – I’m From Barcelona

For The Robots:
Roboticus - Zombies! Organize!!

Bad Joke

• What do you call a cow without legs? Ground Beef
• What do you call a cow with two legs? Lean Beef

Random Animal Fact!

• Some butterflies are poisonous. When a predator, like a bird, eats one of these butterflies it becomes sick, vomits violently, and quickly learns not to eat this type of butterfly.
