Get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane

For everyone who discovered Regina Spektor through the breath-taking brilliance of [livejournal.com profile] lim's SGA video This is How it Works, you might potentially be interested in Regina's latest video Fidelity, and I won't even hate (much) because I'd been pimping Regina for two years and nobody was listening. Please note: that even if you're not into the SGA fandom this video is *highly* recommended by me just for the artistry.

Also, Joshua Scott Jones that one artist that I told you all about that one time that was so new he only had one song recorded (Clang)? Yeah, well, see what bitching gets you? A whole eight-song podcast** courtesy of the Hardcore Troubadour ladies.

That, people, is progress.

Random gossip of the day: Supposedly X17 got Suri pictures, but all I see is people looking like Madame Tussauds' replicas, and damn, but it makes me think of The Liberation of Katie Holmes, which uh, yeah, now that's some crack right there. [livejournal.com profile] missdeviant, are you seeing this?


*Title from the song 'On the Radio' off the Begin to Hope LP, inspired by [livejournal.com profile] synecdochic's most brilliant story Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose

**He even has two Jeff covers*** which, shockingly, don't make my ears bleed. Prior to this momentus occasion, all Jeff covers were known to send me running from the room screaming for knives and arsenic.

***Of course one of these is a cover of a cover Jeff did of Leonard Cohen, but until they come up with a new phrase for a cover of a cover, I'll just call it a cover.


ETA: All YSI links have been replaced with SS as apparently YSI now requires you to log-in, which is just ludicrous

I listened to you about Regina Spektor. I have learned it's better not to resist your music pimpage, because you're always right about music. (Although lord knows there are times when I'm tempted, because - seriously, podcast? Don't wanna. They always sound weird.) You have a gift or something.

You should tell people about this gift of yours upfront, so they don't waste a lot of time saying, "But - isn't that, like, hip-hop or something? Ew. Also, this woman is sadly obsessed with some guy named Jeff."

Okay, I am dully mollified now. I was all 'Is nobody listening? Then who is downloading all this music? WTF! I am screaming in the void!' Ahem. I'll take my sedative now.

As for the podcast, it's one of those things. I only picked up this one because it's done by a friend, and the only podcast I ever listen to is KCRW, because I trust them. For most the sound is like they're in a bubble. Underwater.
