perhaps someone else should do the talking

posting links feels like some definite housekeeping. i can only try to contain all these amazing morsels for so long until they well up like tears held back for too long and burst out on a tuesday night after 2am.

---> "detroit is rebuilding to a master plan of beauty and public service." recently tripped upon a 1965 promotional film for detroit's bid in the olympics. what a gem. it's almost humorous to note how little the city has changed since then [err, i guess we did uhhh have the riots] and also how much the word PROGRESS is uttered in the film. god i despise that word. but it is so totally 1965 to liberally pepper it in a film like this, so i guess i'm a bit less put off. perhaps.

---> seems like elbo.ws has been having some server difficulties lately, and it pretty much blows. my thoughts are with them. if you haven't yet visited this killer blog aggregator [which, clearly, is expanding at quite a rate], head on over there, you can still browse the blogs with the mp3s highlighted, you just can't do an artist or blog search. but you can, however, find most if not all of the new yeah yeah yeahs album, some new stills tracks and even a sprinkling of new mogwai stuff. things like that. + more. yessirs.

---> midlake?! ya KNOW? here's their video for "young bride" off the forthcoming [way-far-away, like JUNE] trials of van occupanther.

---> hey dudes! ever wake up and you're having sex with the person in the bed next to you? perhaps you suffer from SEXSOMNIA?! they say it's "not as funny as it sounds." oh yeah? actually...if you've ever been in bed with a SEXSOMNIAC you'd know that it is in fact pretty damn funny, insane, hot, scary. it elicits a gigantic jawbreaker rainbow of emotions. yum.

---> i so can't get over the vegan lunch box blog that sometimes i have to put it in the corner for a couple of weeks, pretend it doesn't exist. pretend i don't hate someone who has so much damn time on her hands to concoct such equisite vegan box lunches for her child [who she fondly refers to as "schmoo"...ugh, ugh {just threw up in my mouth a little bit, really}], photograph them AND write an overwhelmingly popular blog about them. pretend i don't wish i had such order, such control of a tiny sliver of the world. the vegan lunch box blog is both endearing and nauseating. and addicting. so on nights like tonight, when i muster up the gumption to stop being all jealous and spiteful, i take a peek at what little schmoo-ey-poo's been lunching on for the past week. i just can't help but wonder if he gets made fun of for his fancy-pants lunch or envied.

---> when your mind feels like it's been given a swift shake and comfort is the only thing on the menu, really, turn to mr. josé gonzález. his album, veneer, does nothing but soothe soothe sooooooooooothe.
