Debt, whether measured in a natal deficit or angry letters from the bank, is a sure sign that the good times are up, because the only way the pretence of affluence can be continued is if tomorrow’s hardship is used to pay for today’s brief consumer whims.

iPhone brings Sexy Back
Sexy Wallpapers (interestingly, not Desktop Pictures) have started appearing on the iPhone. Now since I don’t have one, I don’t really follow iPhone news, but the normal feeds that I subscribe to only pimp Sexy desktops. After all,
What’s the point of a revolutionary new communications and media device if you can’t put half naked tattooed girls on it?
~SuicideGirls
But really though. When it comes down to it, the sexy girls are on the iPhone, not with the geek who was the first on the block to score one.
PS: I know I’m throwing my styrofoam cup into the water but, I can’t wait till iPhone-mania subsides on teh inter-tubes. Hey, a post is a post, right?

Bungie Jumping: : I went Bungie jumping with Mel’s friends. We had to hike up and then jumped offa cliff for fun. One of my favorite experiences of last year. Thanks ya’ll… and remember to fix yo face!!! Ashley & her sister & cuz are tons of fun… I’d like to kick it w/them sometime again…
Kaki King: Great music, that I did get around posting about in a little more detail. before. Good thing this isn’t a real music blog, or I’d be in trouble. Anyways, she plays acoustic. While you’re listening to the song, imagine that the guitar is sideways on homegirl’s lap. WOWOWOWOW! CRAZY HUH!?
Snakes on a plane: I saw it in theatres, to my surprise. I felt better as an internet citizen for seeing it though. It was entertaining, but the crowd was silent except us. Fuckers. But going with the posse (Wayne Conrad & Jason Tjalsma) made it that much better. Good times. I miss ya’ll too!
New Castle: I love this stuff. IronicallyCoincidentally, I’m drinking it right now. Mmmmm…
Garage Sale: Um, I think that this was when I helped out Harold, my neighbor back in the VV with a Huge “Garage” Sale at my sister’s gym’s parking lot. Worked kinda hard (not REALLY), but it felt good helping out a friend. In return, I also picked up my current 26″ Sony Trinitron, the “Huge TV”. <== I'm a Sony TV whore. I always wanated a nice Wega…... Anyways, without Harold and my dad, half the furniture/appliances in the Mennonite Mansion wouldn’t be here! And now I play videogames in my room all the time.
Almost a year later, but better than never.
Hakken = Europe’s Weird Answer to the Hyphy Movement
Speaking of which, I suppose this is the German version of the musical slap in the face that is “Totally Dude” (Sorry, I rep da 707 so I can’t diss my own ppl’s music):
“i seriously hope those kids are drugged out of their minds” ~Perdici0n
Called “Hakken“, it looks like Techno-Russian DDR to me. Really though, you have got to be kidding me. Pop. Lock. Drop it SEIZURE.
More after the jump.
The Radi, Radi-o. oh. T-T-Totally Sucks Dude. Drop it.
So a few days back, Shannon answered a question that had kinda been on my mind during the last few weeks of spring quarter:
“What are they saying in that song!?”
For those of you who don’t know, its “T T Totally Dude!”.
If you didn’t understand that, then chances are, you probably already know the hook—as well as the rest of the song by heart.
The explosion-as-devilhorns-sign and the very end made me get spit all over my aging Powerbook G4 (ooh shiny Macbook Pros). Then yesterday, Shannon told me about the newest song from the 1 2-Hit Wonder, Shop Boyz:
Damn. Just had to rub it in huh? And you want us to pay you for this stuff music industry?! I don’t wanna sound all old-fogey-ish… music in general has never been better imo, but radio is a cesspool. With stuff like pandora, last.fm, and the hype machine, I won’t look back when the current business model collapses, despite the RIAA’s last gasps.
Anyway, sorry for the crap. I’ve been real bitter as of late at myself and my world in general, for having shit like this, “Pop Lock & Drop It” & “ella, ella, ey! ey! ey!” stuck in my head more than 1/2 the time I’m awake.
Here’s some real music:
John Mayer – Kid A (Radiohead Cover)
Though I was definitely part of the right college radio generation, I never got into the whole John Mayer (or SD’s response, Jason Mraz) thing. But Radiohead was “my band” back in the days of the FHP (FumeHood Posse)—which, btw, is way better than OBG (no comment)—and continued to be my “college band” throughout my UCSD days. Long story short: Kid A is my favoritist song ever (LIVE!!!), and Mayer does a nice acoustic of it.
I also picked up this gem from the del.icio.us mp3 page.
We Got Our Own Thing – J.V.C. F.O.R.C.E.
(via: The White Noise Revisited)
This one’s for Clockw0rk. Funky-house beats that you love, with the old-school rap rhymes that no one can deny… don’t sleep on that via: link though, as I go through it with Peel, I find a lotta gems (YA mp3 blog I gotta check up on).
PS: I’ve been listening to a lot of “The Eraser” recently… shoulda got it last Summer back in Switzerland. And Random Google Researchâ„¢ for the post: Remember this? I vaguely, vaguely do, but the game and cartoon are remembered more readily… Thanks Nintendo Power!
