so I was fooling around on Youtube and discovered something that in hindsight should have been obvious: a lot of the jams I like were covers of old blues songs. Some of the blues songs are better, I think, like "Going Up Country." For example, "Black Betty" by Ram Jam. Or Leadbelly: vs "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals, and also Leadbelly vs And "Going Up the Country" by

so this is pretty great. It was related to some other video, God knows why. Don't watch it at work, unless your work is very progressive. I am glad these guys exist. They're like the Vengaboys crossed with Yin Yang Twins. Crazily, they're also Berry Gordy's son and grandson.

so the other day I asked a friend what music she was listening to, and she suggested Lana del Rey: hot chick raspy voice sings about whiskey i love it she's my spirit animalTo me, that is a pretty good recommendation. So I checked her out, and she is great (and also the hot chick part is accurate.) "Video Games" is my favorite so far. "Kinda Outta Luck" has a very 60s vibe to me. Somebody

so I think that time has finally arrived: I'm out of touch. This person who I've never heard of has a song I've never heard, and it has 135 million views on Youtube. One would assume that means she's a big star? <p><br><br><br><br><br>&

so here's a new video from the Beastie Boys; or really, more of a short film. It's for their new song "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" from an upcoming album. I could watch a full movie of this. There's a bigger version on their site if you want to watch it in all its glory.

So not to talk about religion, but I was at coffee a minute ago in my building and overheard some young, overly confident dude in a suit debating at (rather than with) some colleagues. They didn't really seem to care. He was going on and on about how the Catholic Church is the true church and Catholics are the chosen people, how so many wars have been fought against the Catholic Church, how all

so for some reason, this 9 second video I made is one of the most popular one I have on Youtube, even more than ones that I consider way more awesome, like Massanutten Extreme, snowboarding down 13th Street, and Teddy getting tackled by a wolf at the Presidents Race. It's of hipsters in Williamsburg. Enjoy?

so I just discovered my new favorite website, This is Photobomb, dedicated to, what else, photobombing. It's a hilarious site and a hilarious thing to do: even celebrities like Nathan Fillion and the dudes from Mythbusters do it. I went through and found a few photos of me on Facebook photobombing friends, check them out: at bocce on Halloween hiking and finally, EPIC TRIPLE PHOTOBOMB!

So I was browsing Wikipedia and saw the above odd image in the discussion page for Abraham Lincoln. It's called The Apotheosis and was done in 1865 (after Lincoln's assassination) by an unknown artist. It reminded me of the terrible crying eagle pictures that appeared after 9/11, also by anonymous artists. Funny to see how corny sentiments continue through all eras. Although in my opinion

so John Talabot is a Spanish techno guy, and I love this jam.Via Pitchfork. JOHN TALABOT / Families (Ft Glasser) by Young Turks Lots of what I've heard of him is good, it's sort of mellow, interesting electronic music. Great for putting on at work and cranking on stuff. Check out his Myspace too -- I like "Sunshine" and "Afrika" a lot.

So here's a bunch of pictures of Pedro Serrano from Major League.

so I'm getting into the New York no wave/post-disco stuff from the late 70s and early 80s: ESG, Liquid Liquid, Bush Tetras, Konk etc. I made a playlist on Youtube if you are so inclined, below. Any other jams you'd suggest? I didn't put on anything like A Certain Ratio since they aren't from NYC, but still are awesome. I tend to like the more up-tempo stuff that isn't so jazzy. I want to have a

so I always think it's fun when I'm listening to music or watching something and I notice that it's sampled in another song: better so when I'm not expecting it. It's like putting together a puzzle. For example, the other day I was watching Destroy All Monsters, one of the Godzilla movies where aliens take control of Godzilla and his monster buddies. I noticed that the main, recurring theme from

so this isn't really a video, but it's the best I can find. I am loving this jam lately. Chrome-o-o-o-o-o.

You suck, Lexus So I hate ads about cars with bows. Supposedly, people buy a car for a loved one and surprise them with it, often involving some elaborate or (supposedly) cute trick, like kids opening a giant box or lifting a giant Christmas stocking to reveal the car with a giant bow. There's so many of these ads on TV, and they suck. The entire premise is bogus. They're trying to make it

so continuing my quest to watch every ski movie brings me to Ski Wolf. I've watched about a dozen and Ski Wolf is one of the worst. It's barely a movie. It's basically a group of friends with a camcorder goofing around on ski slopes. In fact, there's not even an IMDB page for it, to show you how homemade it is. The movie comes from Low Budget Pictures, which is sort of a knock-off (reallllly

so my friend Kate told me about this band, it's a unsigned duo from the Bay Area called Pomplamoose, a play on pamplemousse, the French word for grapefruit. They're kind of girly, but undeniably catchy and fun and stuff. And it helps that the lead singer has a great, jazzy voice and is pretty gorgeous. I bet so many dudes fell in love. Here's one I like, and there a ton more on their Youtube

So my friend sent me this video, for "Lemme Smang It" by Yung Humma ft. Flynt Flossy. Amazing. I like how the words appear on the screen in different fonts. One of the best Youtube comments is "dude's got permanent rapeface on." And the record label is called Turquoise Jeep Music. Amazing. (Flynt Flossy appears to be Charlie Murphy, Eddie's bro.) They have a bunch of other awesome jams too.

so this guy Carlos Allen is running for mayor of DC. He seems like a weird guy and he claims to be the "first Afro-Latino in history." Apparently his platform is that he stands near people: Plus he crashed that White House party along with the Salahis:

so here's my new favorite TV show. Apparently it was just a pilot, however. Here's more about it.

so last night I went to live band karaoke at Wonderland (a cool bar in my neighborhood, if you're not familiar.) I sang George Thorogood and the Destroyers' "Bad to the Bone." Unfortunately it doesn't sound too good on this cameraphone recording, but it was a lot of fun and I think people enjoyed it. The drummer asked if I rehearsed and some random person said it was a skillful version, which

so I found this MP3 on my iPhone and have no idea where it came from, but I really liked it. It's sort of a combination of Junior Boys, Passion Pit, and Ladytron, but with no cute Bulgarian girls. I couldn't find a real video, so all I have is this homemade one.The band is made up of Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend and Wes Miles from Ra Ra Riot. There's more good songs on their Myspace,

so it's been awhile since I was into new music (or new to me, at least) but here's a jam I'm really liking lately: it's Miike Snow's "Animal." The band, pronounced "Mike Snow" is from Sweden, and they have one self-titled album. It's catchy indie rock with some electronic flourishes, some harmonies and falsettos -- nothing revolutionary, just good stuff. Apparently they were producers for pop

so in case you were wondering (and you probably weren't) I'm going to start writing the Poo News blog again -- your #1 source for #2 news. Hopefully I'll update it once a week. Check it out!

Uh oh so continuing my quest to watch every ski movie brings me to Ski Trippin'. This one was a little different, in that the entire cast is black, while most ski movies are lily-white. Unfortunately, this movie is really, really bad. I should have known what to expect, however, because the previews before it included a movie starring Dr. Dre and Ed Lover, guys I last saw hosting MTV Spring Break

so in case you were wondering, and you probably weren't, it's impossible to find a (legal) MP3 of the 80s song "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz.Nu Shooz are a duo from Portland, Oregon and had a few hits back in the day, including "I Can't Wait." As for the name, I guess spelling things with Z's back then was cool -- just ask Split Enz.I heard the song on a commercial and remembered it from somewhere,

So I went skiing in Virginia a few weekends ago with some friends. Here's what happened.

so the snow outside is perfect. It's soft and fluffy and sticky. It sticks to tree branches and streets signs and beards. It's quiet and gentle, but strong and dense. This is what all snow should be like.

so this is an old Beck song that which was released on vinyl in limited quantities in 1994, and had a limited vinyl re-release in 2000. My friend had the record in about sophomore year of high school and I was a big fan, but I had mostly forgotten about it until I was working on the Buzz Bin page on Wikipedia. The song is about one of Beck's friends who threw up after taking LSD. Pretty good

So I don't really get the point of awards shows. What does or matter if a movie you like (or don't like) wins an award (or doesn't)? Is it validation? Do people subconsciously want to get mad about the awards, to complain? My roommate said she likes to see the dresses, so I guess that's something, but otherwise I don't get it. Like what you like.

so clothes drive me crazy -- not wearing them, but the sizes. I asked for some pants for Christmas, and I got a few pair from my parents. My mom asked me if the 34" waist ones I have still fit, and I said yes, because they fit perfectly. So mom got me a couple that are 34" and a couple that are 35". Some of them work, some are super tight, and some (even the 35s) I can't even button.What the

so there's a new Hot Chip video, for "One Life Stand" off an upcoming album of the same name. It's ok, but I do like their somewhat robotic dance moves. I'm going to copy them next time I'm in the tha club.Hot Chip - One Life Stand (MySpace Exclusive)Hot Chip | MySpace Music VideosThere's also another new song out, "Take It In."

so I really don't like the pink antibacterial hand soap they always have in the bathrooms at bars, restaurants, etc. It smells like a combination of gasoline and vomit and it the odor stays on your hands for hours. I can't believe that there isn't a slightly more expensive version that doesn't smell horrible. Unless the terrible stench somehow scares off bacteria or something. No thanks.

so this jam is "Jump in the Pool" by Friendly Fires, an English band that were on the shortlist for the Mercury Music Prize, a British music award.The video has some cool parts and some weird parts, like the synchronized swimming and close-ups of the singer and band, respectively. I like the song a lot though, kind of ethereal like M83 with some good and busy drumming. Pitchfork mentioned the

so I saw this Ford commercial the other day and was trying to figure out what the song at the end was -- it was good and sounded familiar. For whatever dumb reason, Ford doesn't list songs in their commercials on their website, so I emailed them. After getting a response to write my question again, I finally got an answer they said the name of the song, but not the band. Googling, I found out,

so I just read about this: a player for the University Florida football team purposely gouged a Georgia guy in the eye. He got suspended one half of one game, against Vanderbilt, a pretty crummy team, so that's hardly a severe punishment. That kind of stuff drives me crazy, these guys should get kicked off the team and/or banned from football. There was also a star running back for Oregon who

so this is a song I've been liking a lot recently: it's called "Never Forget You" by English band the Noisettes. I'm not sure where I heard it, I'm guessing it was at a bar or something because it was on my Shazam iPhone app (the one you use to figure out what a song is.)Anyway, it's pretty great -- 1960s girl group style with fuzzy guitars, and I can't not like a song where a girl with a great

so here is Arnold's breakfast. No, really. It's from his Twitter.

so I saw this on Conan last night, pretty impressive -- it's Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Mexican acoustic guitar duo. Good stuff.

so this is the first installment of my quest to watch every fictional ski movie. The first of many is Hot Dog... The Movie, I guess in case you got it confused with the food. As far as I can tell, the 1984 movie is one of the older ski comedies out there, and it shows: poofy, fluffy hair, mullets, and trucker caps well before they became ironic or cool again.Like most ski movies, Hot Dog

Oktoberfest at WonderlandOriginally uploaded by squidpantsso I like drinking games -- they are inherently funny. The other day I was at Wonderland, my neighborhood bar, and they had Oktoberfest specials going on in the outdoor patio area - $1 pretzels, big steins of Paulaner and Spaten and Hofbrau. I was hanging out with a couple of buddies and sitting next to us were two German guys, who said

so I found this band from a mixtape my buddy made awhile ago -- Theatre of Disco is an electronic group from Australia. What is it with Australia and good electronic music? Cut Copy, The Presets, Avalanches, etc etc.Anyway, the trio of Theatre of Disco don't really have a sound I can nail down -- it's mostly dancey electronic rock, or maybe rocky electronica. Sometimes it's a bit like Calvin

so I wrote up a drinking game for The Onion that you can play while watching Washington Nationals games on TV. Enjoy.

so apparently, President Obama said, off the record, to Nightline co-anchor Terry Moran that he thought Kanye West was a jackass after his outburst at the VMAs. And apparently (link here) Moran then Twittered about it. However, that isn't on Moran's twitter feed anymore, so he must have deleted it, as Politico reports.Now to me, the main problem with this is not that the President thinks Kanye

so I hear the President is giving a speech to America's schoolkids. Apparently that's a bad thing, as a bunch of folks are complaining about it. Honestly, it seems like people will oppose anything Barack Obama does. Here's what the President says the speech will be about: "I'm going to be making a big speech to young people all across the country about the importance of education; about the

so I stumbled upon this the other day -- it's a British band called The Last Shadow Puppets, made up of a guy from Arctic Monkeys, a guy from Simian Mobile Disco and a guy from a band called the Rascals (not the ones from the 1960s).Anyway, the album is pretty good, and you can listen to it on Pitchfork, though their review is, as usual, pretty inscrutable. It's a 1960s-sounding "baroque pop"

so I have a goal: to try to watch every (fiction) movie about skiing. The movies are all about the same: some wild and crazy party guys have to save the mountain/win a contest against some jerks/rich guys who want to make the mountain lame/not party. There are rarely any famous actors in them, a lot of hijinx ensue, some girls take their tops off, and the good guys win. And probably like many

so it's rant time. A Bollywood star was held for hours at Newark airport, apparently because of his name. That's bad, obviously, and it shouldn't happen. He had to call the Indian Consulate to get them to vouch for him. He had just done some filming in the US on a movie called "My Name is Khan" about racial profiling against Muslims.However, what made me mad was the response mentioned in the news

so I went to Houston last year for my buddy's wedding, and I took a bunch of videos. I finally put them together:

so I heard about this song "I Love College" by Asher Roth, and I listened to it. The guy is a genius. Not because the song is good, but because of what it is: a collection of all the supposed best things about college - partying, drinking, girls, and funny stuff. It's like if you put Animal House, PCU, Old School, Road Trip, Van Wilder, and all the other college movies together in a blender, and

so I got this in a press release, but it's pretty awesome. The song sounds a bit like Missy Elliott/Timbaland, but more of a hipster dance club version, which is a pretty good combo if you ask me. The group is a from Canada, with a singer named Isis and a beat maker named Graham Zilla. Anyway, the song is pretty awesome, and the video is cool too -- weird, plus a hot girl. That's a recipe for a

so I got this mp3 in my email the other day, it's from a country-influenced San Francisco band called Or, the Whale. It's a nice, up-tempo ditty, and while the singer's voice takes a little getting used to, once the steel guitar comes in, I'm sold. Plus the song is about datura, aka Jimson weed, a hallucinogenic plant, which is pretty funny. Here's their Myspace. I also like "Call and Response"

so I'm pretty surprised I haven't written about him before: Sebastien Tellier is a hilarious Frenchman who makes awesome 80s style electronic music with great videos. He kind of looks like a caveman or Jesus and dresses like Miami Vice. Here's "Divine," which, shockingly, was France's entry into the Eurovision contest in 2008. Not shockingly, it didn't win, because it's actually good. Sebastien

so here's me and Marion Barry. He was a nice guy - happy to take a photo with me, asked me where I was from, etc. He went to college in Knoxville, where I'm from.

so I'm a pretty big soccer fan. I follow DC United a lot, and I'm a very big fan of the US National Team. I might not be the most knowledgeable soccer fan, but I'm pretty strident. Last World Cup, I skipped out on work about lunchtime to watch the US games at the Billy Goat Tavern near work. It was the only place around that had a TV, and even though it was a sterile knockoff of a burger place in

so this is pretty cool - it's the video for "Zumbie" by Major Lazer, starring Andy Milonakis. Major Lazer is a project by DJs Diplo and Switch, and he's a cartoon character with a funny fictional backstory - he's a Jamaican commando who lost an arm in a secret zombie war in 1984. He was rescued by the U.S. military, who replaced his arm with a laser, and now he flies around on a rocket-powered

so Kings of Convenience, a Norwegian band I like a lot, are coming out with a new album in September. To wit, this postcard. Click it for the full version.Also, Tyskland is Germany. I looked it up.

so I saw the new Conan O'Brien Tonight Show tonight, and it was pretty funny. Still had the same weird humor and he didn't kill the jokes like Jay Leno did. The audience laughter seemed louder, which was weird at first, and Andy was kind of Ed McMahon-ish earlier with the laughter, but as the show went on it was calmer. I might actually watch a network show fairly regularly again, first time in a

so I was setting my fantasy baseball team lineup and clicked on the CJ Wilson's profile to see his stats - he's a pitcher for the Rangers. And look at this dude, he looks hilarious. Goofy facial hair and a weird smirk, like he's saying "yeah, my facial hair is sweet. Look at it." He also kind of looks like Paul Rudd. Well done, sir.

so this is pretty funny - more Wikipedia hilarity. The page for my state senator, Tim Burchett, was edited to add this:It is believed that Sen. Burchett controls a small band of pirates on The Tennessee River for the purpose of promoting his upcoming mayoral campaign in Knox County. It is believed that Burchett's wife married him for his impeccable sense of style, however it is actually because

so this is pretty cool -- there's a new album by Danger Mouse (half of Gnarls Barkley) and Mark Linklous from Sparklehorse, plus all these guys:James Mercer of The Shins, The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Frank Black of the Pixies, Iggy Pop, Nina Persson of The Cardigans, Suzanne Vega, Vic Chesnutt, David Lynch, and

so everybody's talking about this blog, Texts from Last Night, where people send in last night's drunk texts and they get posted, and hilarity ensues. A lot of people like the site, but I'm gonna vote no.

so this is a pretty bizarre video. Congressman Barton from Texas is asking a question to energy secretary Steven Chu.I don't get it. It's almost like Barton is acting stupid to get Chu to seem stupid. Is Barton is trying to stump Chu or look like a funny guy or something? It doesn't make any sense. Since when is "how does oil get to Alaska" a good question to ask the energy secretary?Or maybe it

so this is a pretty good jam: Los Angeles indie pop band Army Navy with "Saints."ARMY NAVY - "SAINTS" from the hassle on Vimeo.They also do a pretty good power pop cover of "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale. They have a self-titled album out now.Here's their Myspace

so I got this in my Gmail today - I don't know if it's spam or if the person sent it to the wrong email address (which happens pretty often with me). Anyway, it's pretty great. It's from an Italian domain.Hi, my lovable, but forbidden fruit.This is my e-mail.Goodnight. I'll try not to dream about You.I'll try to behave. It's not so easy some time. I don't know how many times I was almost to kiss

so I've noticed something strange recently on Yahoo's news stories -- there's a feature called Yahoo! Buzz, where you click "Buzz Up" on any Yahoo News story and you can comment and rate other people's comments with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. What I noticed is that almost every single comment and rating is anti-Obama, even when the article in question is only tangentially related to Obama. As of

so I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival the other day, which was nice, and I discovered an awesome drink in the meantime. I've been drinking a lot of those canned and bottled coffee drinks lately, like Muud, the Japanese ones (which are also great) and the Starbucks ones, and I picked a random one up called Caferazzi in a weird box - the same kind that wine comes in now. It's made by a Brazilian

So this is a pretty cool song by Sebastien Tellier, a Parisian electronic guy. The video is hilarious but is not safe for work, unless your work is OK with you looking at girls scampering around in their underwear. So you are warned.Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer from Lucky Number Music on Vimeo.Here's his Myspace for more. Pretty kooky 80s-ish slow jams. I like it.

so Lützenkirchen (I had to copy and paste the ü) is an electronic artist from Munich, Germany. I found this video just randomly on Youtube. It's pretty awesome. Lützenkirchen- 3 Tage wach - MyVideoThere's an English version too, and if the song is translated, then "3 Tage Wach" means "three days awake" and the song is about getting drunk. There's also a pretty awesome 8 minute version in

so this is pretty cool. It's a band I'm not familiar with, The Bloody Beetroots, with vocals by DJ Steve Aoki. The band's from Italy, and the rest of their tracks are similarly noisy and buzzy. They're touring the US now, including April 1 in Baltimore.WxAxRxP from Francesco Calabrese on Vimeo.

What city is this?Originally uploaded by squidpantsso what city is this? It's from the Free Triple Score commercial. I like figuring out what places in commercials are. Any ideas?

so it's St. Patrick's Day. We are having a whiskey party at my house, which is either a great idea or a terrible idea.Here's a video about a famous leprechaun.As Stephen Malkmus once said, "Irish folktales scare the shit out of me."

so I think this is the worst music video I've ever seen. Or maybe not worst, but most creepily bizarre.It looks like they spent about $10 on it, and it's insane. The old guys (who are the band), the baby, the tin-foil covered sun and moon...And I think they made the video for their other "hit," "The Race" at the same time. What the hell?Plus according to Wikipedia, the guy with the deep voice is

So a magician claimed he shipped himself in a box from New York to Las Vegas. Sounds like he ripped off MC 900 ft Jesus:The video was directed by Spike Jonze, who did tons of other cool videos.

so here's a video from a pretty new English group called We Have Band - good name. They're only about a year old, and the song "Oh" is very Euro-sounding with a kind of eerie but interesting lo-fi video.We Have Band - Oh! (Music Video) from We Have Band on Vimeo.Here's their Myspace, and the NY Post has a download.

so sometimes my GMail RSS thing shows me headlines about English sports and sometimes they make absolutely no sense. For example: "Creamer beats bug to share Champions lead." What? Who? Bug? Champions?

So this is pretty awesome: it's an old video of AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock."His facial expressions are the best.

so apparently Bo Jackson is starting a bank. I'd invest in it, because if they economy is bad, Bo will just weave around and avoid it.Observe:

so I discovered this the other day on a crazy and entertaining blog called Smearballs - it's a Canadian boy band called b4-4. Apparently they were popular up there in the early 2000s. And they're orange. Pretty terrible.They also remind me of the Lee Hotti dudes.

so, here is Snarf.Snarf is from the Valley of Snarfs, apparently.

so I'm a fan of bad movies, and I saw the movie Donkey Punch the other day -- it's this new British thriller that my roommate downloaded. Given the title, you can pretty much guess what happens - a bunchf of attractive young Brits are on a yacht and things go crazy. My buddy made the point that it could be the next Snakes on a Plane - ridiculous death scenes, telegraphed plot, sex, drugs, etc etc

so I keep noticing more and more ridiculous ads on Facebook. They went from the usual attractive girl advertising a dating site to just downright crazy - I saw one of a girl with a see-through shirt advertising something, and this one, which is just crazy - make sure you don't click on it at work: link.What is this? I really doubt Google would make an ad with a girls boobs standing in as the Os

so my pal Robyn sent this to me, it's really entertaining: Cake Wrecks, a blog of messed-up cakes. Hours, or at least minutes, of fun.

so this is pretty awesome - Black Joe Lewis, a bluesy singer from Austin, has a Valentine's ecard for one of his songs. I won't spoil which one it is, so click the link and listen. Good stuff.Here's his Myspace. I'm enjoying his EP, more on that in a few days.

so this was kind of strange - I got this message from AlertDC, in ALL CAPS: NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FROM 10 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR. Sounds bizarrely dire. So I guess watch out for forest fires in Meridian Hill Park, and don't burn

so today I was reading the Express on the bus, and saw an article about how Marion Barry has once again not paid his taxes. The former mayor and current DC Councilmember didn't pay taxes on most of what he earned from 1999 to 2004, but instead of going to jail, the judge said "ok, make sure you pay them next year." He didn't pay them next year, so they gave him three years of probation. And guess

so I was looking for the video for "Hooked On a Feeling" by Blue Swede, but I forgot the name of the song. I did a Youtube search for "ooga chaka" and this was the first result. Amazing.

So I was taking a cab back from a Super Bowl party and the cabbie had the radio on. He was listening to this show by a guy named Bill Cunningham, who I'd never heard of before. He was a pretty conservative host, talking about Obama and Pelosi doing bad stuff, the usual. Then before commercial, he said to this effect: "there's 6 inches of snow on the ground in Washington, DC, how about that global
