Twitter

so I've been using Twitter recently a fair amount. It's kinda neat - sort of like a miniblog/status update thing. If anybody has it, I'm wisemana on there, add me.

John McCain is your jalopy

so this is the funniest political satire I've seen in awhile. It's a website that says "John McCain" followed by old people jokes: he "worries about 'Red China'", "is reading Parade magazine," "had a bowl full of Werther's Original," "sent you 10 dollars for your birthday" etc.

There's also a Hillary one and an Obama one, with Hillary doing bad stuff and Obama doing super nice stuff.

The Chicago Tribune wrote about it.

Shiloh

So I think it's strange that people are named Shiloh. I've known a few folks (mostly girls) named it, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie named their kid Shiloh. I guess it has a nice ring to it and it means "peace" in the Bible, but Shiloh was also one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. I don't know anybody (aside from a Suicide Girl) named, say, Antietam or Chickamauga or Chancellorsville. What's next? Thermopylae Smith? Dien Bien Phu Jones? Fallujah Henderson?

so I just got a spam email with the funniest subject: "I know what females do on a farm. NEVER leave them there unattended!"

What, pick vegetables? Walk around? Milk cows?

so I used to think the Mates of State were super annoying - that they were a married couple with cutesy, overlapping boy-girl vocals, and a bunch of schizophrenic mini-songs in each song, some of which were good, some of which were annoying - it drove me nuts. But I listened a few more times and they grew on me. They have a new album, Rearrange Us, coming out, and it's streaming on the Myspaces. I like it.

It seems to be more produced than their other records, with more atmosphere and an expanded sound from just the keyboard and drums they used to have. It's less frenetic and more focused - more "mature" I bet I'll see in some reviews. "Rearranger" is a good track, and none of them are duds really. I think I will pick it up. Unfortunately they don't have a DC show, but they'll be in Philly for the Popped! Festival.

so I really like the two new songs by Islands, "Creepers" and "The Arm". They'll be in DC on May 23rd, I'm there.

Islands are a kooky band of Montrealers. They put out fun, enthusiastic music.
