this song is my current soundtrack. It offers the perfect dose of tranquility and makes me extremely excited for tank top summer 08!
Here is a nice cover by Primal Scream featuring Kate Moss (oh, what a babe!) I do find it funny that almost 7 years later bands are still trying to sound like this, not to mention it was already played out in the 90's.
I couldn't find a video for the *Slowdive cover but you can't go wrong with this classic.
*You can download the Slowdive version here.

my two midgies
Today has been a nightmare!! Wharton School of Business is having their annual 70's party and the store is crawling with mutants. These people are serious boneheads and it scares the shit out of me that they will be running Fortune 500 companies in the near future. They have no social graces whatsoever and expect you to do everything for them. Plus, more than half of these bridge trolls are in their 40's yet still need guidance from me as to what would be considered disco. Fuck me!
I overheard this amazing conversation earlier between two of these dimwits, it went like so, "Listen man, when we get to the party just follow my lead. I know this is your first party and i want you to have a good time. There are a couple basic rules to follow. Rule one: Always have a drink in your hand because it shows people that you are enjoying your time spent at the party. You don't need to drink much, just hold the drink as you mingle with everybody. Rule Two: When your drink needs to be refreshed never go to the main bar, for it will be too crowded. Always seek out the second or third bar that most first time partygoers will not know how to find. Rule Three: Don't be afraid to leave my side and meet other people. I cannot talk with you all night long because i will know other people there and they deserve my time too. Rule Four: You should be asking a girl to dance at least once an hour. Dancing is a good way to kill time because you don't have to talk much, just do your best at dancing and the woman will appreciate your effort. Follow these rules and we should all have a good time, my friend. I will assist you if a problem occurs that we did not discuss. This is my third time going and i'm getting really good at this, you will see. A lot of people will be so excited to see me." Finally after like 5 minutes of this dude pretending to be Mystery the Pick-up Artist, the other mongoloid got a chance to speak and confirmed the fact that he truly is pathetic, "I really appreciate you taking the time to help. I am confident that your tips will guarantee a memorable night." Are you kidding me?!?!!
10,9,8,7,6....... Ok, i have calmed down.
These two little babes were the highlight of my day!
They had been asking about Philadelphia, other stores like ours and a good place to eat. I just thought they were a cute young couple, but then it hit me. I know these little trolls, i've definitely seen them somewhere!! Oh shitballs, i figured it out and said "Hey, you're friends with Juno, right? And you're a Thumbsucker, right?" They seemed super pumped to be recognized by my creepy old ass and agreed to have their picture taken. As they were leaving the little babe from Juno uttered this cute statement, "that guy was so chill, man i love Philadelphia!"

Intervention
If you haven't noticed by now, we are currently witnessing the worst trend in music history, Disco revival. My only hope is that we are approaching the end and Disco Demolition Night 2 is upon us. So please keep collecting records and spending exuberant amounts of money on ebay for those uber-rare bangers because it will only make the bonfire burn brighter. Get your mallows ready, dudes.

I can't wait for babies in space
This story is a total bummer. Of course she was depressed her parents were riding the shit out of her, making her take part in a bullshit accomplishment for their own gratification. Once her records were broken she was no longer important and needed to find something new to gain their respect. They had instilled false values in her of being the first, the best, to ultimately gain fame and attention around the world, which as she got older would only cloud her judgement towards the importance of life. How could she be happy knowing the greatest thing she would ever accomplish was done at age 11 & 12?
I can't wait to have kids so I can become another sad loser forcing them to achieve greatness in a field that i failed in. What about the 7 year old!! Brain Explosion!!
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Vicki Van Meter, who made headlines in the 1990s for piloting a plane across the United States at age 11 and from the U.S. to Europe at age 12, died in an apparent suicide. She was 26.
Vicki Van Meter's mother said "she had more guts than any of us could ever imagine."
Van Meter died Saturday of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Crawford County coroner said. Her body was found in her Meadville, Pennsylvania, home on Sunday.
Her brother said she battled depression, but her family thought she had been dealing with her problems.
"She was unhappy, but it was hard for her to open up about that, and we all thought that she was coping," Daniel Van Meter said. He said she had opposed taking medication.
Van Meter was celebrated in 1993 and 1994 when she made her cross-country and trans-Atlantic flights accompanied by only a flight instructor. Her instructors said she was at the controls during the entirety of both trips.
"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything," Van Meter said before her second trip. In her teens, she said she hoped to become an astronaut when she grew up.
Later she earned a degree in criminal justice from Edinboro University in Pennsylvania and spent two years with the Peace Corps in the former Soviet republic of Moldova. She recently worked as an investigator for an insurance company.
Her mother, Corinne Van Meter, said her daughter had begun applying to graduate schools and wanted to study psychology.
Van Meter was a sixth-grader in September 1993 when she flew from Augusta, Maine, to San Diego over five days. She had to fight strong headwinds and turbulence that bounced her single-engine Cessna 172 and made her sick.
At the time, she was believed to be the youngest girl to fly across the United States. That record was broken by a 9-year-old in 1994.
Also in 1994, Van Meter flew from Augusta to Glasgow, Scotland, and was credited with being the youngest girl to make a trans-Atlantic flight. She battled dizziness brought on by high altitude and declared upon landing: "I always thought it would be real hard, and it was."
The child pilot phenomenon ended in 1996, when 7-year-old Jessica Dubroff, her father and the instructor supervising the flight were killed in a crash in Wyoming while Jessica was trying to become the youngest person to fly across the country. Congress quickly passed a bill banning record-setting attempts by unlicensed pilots.
"I was really rooting for her, but I guess reality says accidents do happen," Van Meter, then 14, said at the time of the crash. "It's unfortunate it had to happen to someone so brave, someone trying to fulfill her dreams."
Corinne Van Meter said her daughter "led a full and interesting life. ... She had more guts than any of us could ever imagine."

Energy Milk
7am wake up call.
Today I'm babysitting mental midgets as they clean the floors, cackle like Hyenas, and discuss the importance of masturbation. I seek quiet refuge in the alley behind the store only to find a street in complete disarray. I never noticed just how disgusting Kater St. is and find it appalling that this areas real estate is so expensive. This city can sometimes feel like a post-apocalyptic dystopia, not the ones imagined in a skillfully crafted Philip K. Dick novel, but how they are depicted in poorly executed films like Demolition Man, Strange Days and Waterworld.
I think i am high on fumes.

The Dancing Outlaw!
I had almost forgotten about Jesse/Jesco/Elvis until i came across these amazing clips from The Dancing Outlaw. He is a true legend and his story should be seen by everyone, which is why i am going to buy the DVD and have a Dancing Outlaw Party. You are all invited.

Violence and humor, my favorite combination.
Michael Haneke's shot-for-shot, line-for-line remake of his own film Funny Games, has completely exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved it. With this slow-paced, disturbing and devilishly funny movie, Haneke is playing his own game with you the viewer. He is daring you with every frame to get out of your seat and leave the theater, or finish the film only to complain later how lazy and self-indulgent he is for making the same movie twice. No matter what you think of this film, Haneke is having the last laugh!!
Michael Pitt was a delight to watch in this film. I had him pegged as the next big thing after seeing Hedwig and the Angry Inch and was blown away by his delicate performance in The Dreamers. He is currently working on Oliver Stone's film Pinkville which has begun production and it was announced that he will star in Abel Ferrara's prequel to the film King of New York, Pericle il Nero. This young man who looks like a Cabbage Patch Doll, is about to become a major player.
Here are some of my other picks for Hilariously-Fucked-Up-Violent films, in no particular order:
Man Bites Dog (my all time fav)
A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Freeway (Reese and Kiefer at their best)
Kind Hearts and Coronets
Clay Pigeons
Hard Candy
Taxi Driver
American Psycho (do you like Huey Lewis and the News?)
Happiness (molestation can be funny too)
River's Edge
Hard Boiled
The Warriors
Le Samurai
Spanking the Monkey (this ones a real motherfucker)
House Of Yes
Brazil (care for a little necrophilia?)
Trainspotting (who knew drug abuse could this much fun)
Delicatessen (while eating a clown one cannibal says to the other one, "does this taste funny to you?")
Reservoir Dogs (Torturing a cop to a Gerry Rafferty song. Classic)
Dead Ringers (barbaric gynecological tools, fun for the whole family)
Badlands
Dr. Strangelove
Fargo (funny accents and a wood chipper)
In the company of men & Your Freinds and Neighbors (emotional abuse can be funny too)
True Romance
Prime Cut
Repo Man
Heathers
Swimming with Sharks
Straw Dogs (less laughs, more violence)
Natural Born Killers
Wild at Heart
Death Wish
Cape Fear (both versions, but De Niro tickles my ribs more than Mitchum)
Videodrome (hyperviolent torture TV, sadomasochistic sex games and bodily transformations. Some real mind-bending shit)

My first rant
Iggy Pop you are such a turdbaby!! First you lend your music to cruise advertisements, then you have Sum 41 on your shit album and now you're old and shirtless flailing around at VH1's Fashion Rocks! Are you kidding me? Is this supposed to be cool because it's somehow viewed as a big "fuck you" to the establishment? This performance is as edgy and controversial as wearing Mickey Mouse ears to Knott's Berry Farm. Congrats Iggy! You aren't even as menacing as a five year old wearing LA Gears with light-up heels, or a strip mall with a Jamba Juice, or kisses from a black lab with puppy breath, or a wet fart, or a soccer mom with fake tits, or a Carson Daly monologue, or even my dad in shorts with dress socks. Give it up, dud! You look like Jennifer Aniston meets the cryptkeeper meets poo and vomit fighting over toilet space.
Watch as Gwyneth Paltrow protects herself from this ear-shattering RAW COWER.
