So last tuesday I went and saw Metronomy live at Temporary Spaces. They were so incredible, I hate getting fanboy but really they are so ace. I went in expecting it to sound dodgy as it’s tough to convert a nightclub into a live setting. But somehow it managed to sound superb and I can’t get over how great “heartbreaker” went over that night. This is some brilliant pop music, the melodies and sounds are so fresh and different but at the same time the arrangement and cohesiveness of the songs make them instant ear candy. Okay thats the end of my fanboy rant, I just think more people should be listening to Metronomy.
Also this video is beautiufl, if you get a chance go see them. I think theyre still touring with the Mae Shi another great band.
and for the mp3 fiends i got you dawg because that video does the sonic quality of this song no real justice. it’s mixed/engineered so well <3 yall metronimiers.
xzibit approves too
Tonight was craziness started it off by heading to Victoria from Cobra Starship’s place in malibu and had a nice campfire sing along on the beach thing. It was pretty much everything you imagine california is like when you grow up in the midwest. A lot great people there and forget hot dogs we had fish sticks on skewers haha. We also had some amazing home made fireballs to play with they looked like the fireballs in the video below.
After all of that commenced I ran to avalon to peep Rye Rye and friends. Rye Rye killed it, it’s so hard to do a live set of songs in the middle of a dance club but she commanded the audience and smashed. Go ‘hed rye rye.
I left there and booked it over to Teddys cuz it was my main man Reza (thearabparrot)’s birthdayyyyy. The parrot was killin it like normal and his wonderful sister Lili made an appearance. So good to see both of them.
I just got home and stumbled onto this video, fuck I think I like DNB. Do I? Well maybe when it’s mgmt dnb’d.
This matters to like 2% of you. Thanks to Radam for pointing this out. He <3's antm. I knowwww it.

PETA, not to be confused with the flatbread with pockets that you dunk into hummus, but the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals have made it accessible to view Michael Vick’s Animal Empathy test. Mr. Vick received a 73.5% and personally, I’m still more stunned than that time I walked in on my mom kneading cookie dough with her shirt off.
To see the entire test, along with the questions and his own handwritten answers, click here.
Fan death is a South Korean urban legend which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia) of those inside…
Fan Death is also a really amazing Canadian band.
I was pretty stoked to get some pictures of the band last Saturday when they opened for Metronomy at Glory Days in Vancouver. The show was insanity and completely lived up to the hype (THE HYPE: “An all to the floor disco pop cut filled with electro coolness.” – badrobot.co.uk)
Check out the video for Veronica’s Veil, which was released December 8 on Phantasy.

I heard it on CNN a few days ago and immediately began to crack up.
Seriously, what the hell ?
OH!
Today I sat through an hour lecture at my college, we had a guest speaker, I believe his name was Kurt Andersen. He is a writer, an artist of sorts, and radio host of all things. He was a real cool guy, super smart. He began to lecture about how history does not repeat it self but ‘rhymes’. Things that are happening now have happened before but not exactly the same way, thus they have NOT repeated but ‘rhymed’. Anyway, he was discussing the invention of the telegraph and how it revolutionized the way people were able to communicate almost instantaneously instead of waiting days for messages to travel by foot and what not. He used Facebook status updates and TWITTER as examples of how we communicate now-a-days, concluding that history rhymes. Seriously, this guy was like 50, I barely found out what hell Twitter even was like a month ago, haha. It gets better though, he was talking about this artist of the late 1800′s and early 1900′s, I wish I could remember his name, and put up a photo of him. He laugh and called the artist a hipster based on his attire, then said ‘but he was a hipster 100 years ago!’ hahahaha those things alone made lecture all worth it and I thought it would be funny to share.
OH! pt.2
I almost had a heart attack when I heard the rumors of MORRISSEY playing Coachella, I so badly hope it is more than just a rumor, ill die happy if I am able to see him this year!!!!
