Dos Equis

Enjoy a nice cold XX while listening to The XX...You won't be disappointed.

Goldberg's

I told you I want the candy - Goldberg's Peanut Eschews. Dark chocolate, peanuts and sticky nougat...mmm So good, especially at the movies.

I Want the Candy

Rave on with The Raveonettes! JR has been trying to get me to listen to them since their first release, Pretty in Black, but I have always eschewed him..until now. I guess I never realized they were such a sexy duo from Denmark.

The song that hooked me is The Last Dance, but I liked the below video better for some reason. You'll probably figure out that reason 4 seconds in.... I will never eschew again...

We Watch Things on VCR...

Minimalism at its best...The catchiest track by The xx

GaGa Ooo La La

Being a middle-aged man, nothing is more fun than embarrassing my 13 year old daughter. At the moment this entails me dancing in the kitchen wearing my white silk longjohns and mangling the lyrics to this Lady GaGa song at the top of my lungs...



And I can't lie; after watching this video, I'm more than just a little bit aroused...

Are You Ready to be Heartbroken?

I actually heard this song on the radio yesterday... It's not often you hear Camera Obscura on the radio. The best export out of Scotland since this band. Kidding of course. There are actually many great bands from Scotland, including one of my all-time favorites



This song is of course a response to fellow Glasgowians Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, off the classic Rattlesnakes LP, which so happens to be in my Top Ten All-Time.

Cool Mint

When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty, I get the cool sensation of sitting in a work site johnny on a freezing winter morning..with the cool breeze sliding in under the door and the scent of the brand new urinal mint cake envelops me!...mmmmmm

Avatar

Go see it at IMAX tomorrow. Then learn more about Zoe Saldana.

Cyclops

This post is topical, since my son is currently reading the Odyssey.
But it is mainly in honor of the huge subterranean zit in the middle of my forehead.

And naturally, we give our libations in the form of music by Radiohead, whom I'm sure you've heard of...

The Funeral

Went to my first funeral of 2010 on Monday. Went to six in 2009.(RIP Rubbie, Nick, Joe, Ross, Dino & Michael). I wonder how many will go this year? We never know, do we?

Band of Horses, off my NYE 2006 Playlist. Play loudly.
