DIE ANTWOORD - BABY'S ON FIRE (OFFICIAL)
I KNOW I TWEETED ABOUT THESE PEOPLE LIKE LAST SUMMER, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LIKE THESE GUYS.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
If you watch this video and say, "Wow, Karen O is a real good actress!" because she's crying with all her heart, it is because she isn't acting. She's crying because they were going on tour that day and her boyfriend at the time, who could not go with her, didn't show up for the shoot.
So sad, yet ironic, since the song was written for him.

45 LIFE LESSONS, WRITTEN BY A 90 YEAR OLD
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for things that matter.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose Life.
28. Forgive but don’t forget.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give Time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you think you need.
42. The best is yet to come…
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

Lana Del Rey - Video Games
This artist is absolutely amazing. I swear she is one of the only artists, besides Adele, who could sing a song about a sock and I would get emotional.
To me, she reminds me of Andy Warhol's muse, Edie Sedgwick.
You might have heard her latest song, "Born to Die" of which is her up and coming newest album (released on January 31, 2012).
If you're in the mood to be blown away by beauty, visually and musically, or just want to drink heavily and chain smoke, listen to Lana Del Rey.
Here's "Born to Die":
"Blue Jeans"
Enjoy.

KO-REEE-AHHH
So ummm... if you haven't heard already, or just have been living under a rock in Michele Bachmann's backyard, that guy (lady?) Kim Jong II died last night of heart failure, & mental and physical exhaustion. Yeah that's right, his little heart gave out on a train or something, ironic... I guess oppressing an entire nation is exhausting.
Speaking of Michele Bachmann, she probably woke up today and had to Google who Kim Jong II was amongst all of her other daily Zombie chores.
Anyway, all I remember from this guy (other than oppressing his people and basically terrifying the shit out of them) is that he had some KICK-ASS glasses. Like, what the heck is going to happen with them? Craigslist? eBay? Amazon? Shoot... Hook a sister UP.
Just look at these bad boys:
SWAG
He honestly puts Gaddafi and the guy form CSI: Miami to shame
2011, the year of televised court dates and the take-down of evil dictators
I can't help but laugh. And what's even funnier is that there's this movie with Sacha Baron Cohen called Republic Of Wadiya that makes fun of crazy-ass dictators

I've Loved These Days
we drown our doubts, in fine champagne, and sooth our souls with fine cocaine. i don't know why i even care. we get so high + get nowhere.
The Undertones-Teenage Kicks
Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
If you haven't heard of The Undertones, check them out. And if you have heard of them, get them playing ASAP.
Music Is My Hot Hot Sex
From all the drugs the one I like more is music
From all the junks the one I need more is music
From all the boys the one I take home is music
From all the ladies the one I kiss is music
It will be a year this April 2012 that I discovered the band, The Dirty Pearls, and the second time I have posted a blog about them. I am insanely bummed and upset that I have not made it to one of their shows lately but when I head back home to NYC after graduation from U of M, I'm grabbing a few drinks and heading straight to one, that is, if they're still playing around town. I say this because I see so much potential in their music, they seem to combine everything from rebel/heavy metal rock, to punk rock, to even a hint of 80's hairband in both their music and their persona. To me, if Kiss, The New York Dolls, and Poison had a music baby they'd called it The Dirty Pearls.
Dubbing themselves as part of the "Rivington Rebels," they have taken over the LES and in the process of spreading their infectious, high-energy music which I GUARANTEE you will not get out of your head for days. Saying they're everything SEX, DRUGS, and ROCK & ROLL might be cliche, but their music is everything but that. So put some headphones on, roll down your windows in your car, disrupt your neighbors, or whatever, just turn up the treble, and listen to Tommy London, Sunny Climbs, Tommy Mokas, Doug Wright and Marty E. blow you away.

25 Foods You’ll Never Be Able To Eat Again...EVER.
1. Crispy M&Ms
Met its tragic, untimely death in the United States in 2005.
2. Pepsi Blue
Discontinued in the US and Canada in 2004.
3. French Toast Crunch
Ripped from grocery store shelves in the US in 2006.
4. Butterfinger BBs
Finished its impressive run in 2006.
5. Sprite Remix
Entered the grocery store of the great beyond in 2005.
6. Surge
The Coca-Cola Company ruined soda forever when they discontinued this fine beverage in 2003.
7. Magic Middles
The turbulent mid-90's took these delicious treats from our needy hands.
8. Ecto Cooler
Despite initially being simply a movie tie-in for 1984's Ghostbusters, Ecto Cooler disappeared in 2001, forever ruining the contents of your lunchbox.
9. 3D Doritos
Apparently the world wasn't ready for 3D snacks in the mid 2000's, and so this product ended its run all too early. I blame Avatar.
10. Crystal Pepsi
This great experiment in color was discontinued in 1993.
11. Squeezits
General Mills ruined snack-time forever in 2001.
12. Waffle Crisp
Has all but disappeared in recent years.
13. Oreo O's
The most delicious cereal of all time met its end in 2007. Except in South Korea!
14. PB Crisps
As the Planters Wikipedia article (very trustworthy) states, these goodies were “discontinued for being too delicious.”
15. Four Loko
The Man killed Four Loko in 2011. RIP FUN.
16. Josta
The first energy drink ever apparently ran out of fuel in 1999.
17. Uh-Oh Oreos
Apparently the product has since been rebranded in 2007… but it will never be the same.
18. Wonder Balls
What's inside a wonder ball? Magic. And Nestle killed magic in 2004.
19. PB Max
Discontinued sometime in the 90's because the Mars family didn't like peanut butter. Seriously.
20. Orbitz
This ground breaking soft drink/floating dots hybrid met its end in 1997. Who cares if it tasted bad, it looked so DAMN COOL.
21. Mountain Dew Black/Livewire
Despite popular DEWmand, these drinks disappeared in 2004, and more recently in 2011.
22. Apple Fig Newtons
These delicious treats have disappeared without much warning in recent years.
23. Gatorade Gum
Gatorade was the first to learn that drinks and gum don't mix so well in the late 90's.
24. Heinz EZ Squirt
There is something just so damn awesome about colorful condiments. Or maybe just so damn gross. Either way, barf ketchup was discontinued in 2006.
25. The Supersize
Phased out of the McDonalds menu in 2004. Just once, just one more time, I'd like to say those wonderful words. And then puke.
Seriously I used to enjoy these things, especially M&M Crisps and Josta, sometimes even together. And Sprite Remix was THE shit, especially when throwing a few Skittles in the mix, YUMMMMM.
Wonderball was something that my brother and I would always get, and as we were opening it we'd sing the song from the commercial, "Wonder wonder what's in a a Wonder Balllll!"--Great times.

[MARRY THE NIGHT]
I'm So PROUD! Marry The Night was amazing and truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your vision of a hurtful past. She really hits home, for me, in this video; going through hard times, rejection (both inner and outer), strife, and loathing reality like she says.
Stef really out did herself with this video, she completely tops, closes the hatch and buries Bad Romance.

Not one of the 99. Go Occupy Something else.
This Occupy Wall Street or whatever is getting old. I just watched a 8 min video (link at the bottom) of kids getting Pepper sprayed by a cop while their fellow cop friends, holding cheap paintball guns, stand surrounded by UCLA-Davis students. You don't even have to look hard to see almost everyone on campus has an iPad, MacBook, smart phone, laptop, North Face Jacket, and other name-brand bags, clothes and technology.
If they really cared about making something work on favor of themselves, they could get a job, pay for school, pay for rent, eat in and not go out. It's not that hard to figure out that this is all happening because our society has become selfish and needing to be carried to every new feature that is out on our world, whether it be technology, school, clothes and even where we choose to live. (For example, I live at home and have 2 jobs of which I pay everything on a daily basis, which is close to nothing).
Yes, I have the new iPhone 4S, but I worked hard, managed my money, and paid for it myself, without any complaint that our government had anything to do with it.
Yes, I agree, our government has screwed us over on many ways, but it does have a lot to do with they way we live too. Our government along with the "head honchos" of companies and businesses were not all born with Silver Spoons in their mouths; some were average students, just barely making it by. What really needs to be done is some sort of example out on the people supposedly protesting for fairness or whatever they have been doing on Wall Street an in places such as California's universities, along with my own here at U of M.
Greatness and success is not handed to us, it is done by hard work and dedication.
^^^The cops don't want to hurt you. In pictures and a blog of a friend, who brought his fake Press badge and a Cannon Professional Camera on Wall Street, some cops commented by saying, "I'm gonna start swinging," with a smile on their faces.
Instead of standing outside, looking like an idiot, GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
