I Interrupted Anime Twitter Cybersex Roleplay as Bar Rescue‘s Jon Taffer
Oh, and following The Onion’s greatest headline, here’s Gawker’s greatest article. It has been the greatest few weeks, y’all.
Month: March 2015
I aint never seen a ghost car but if’n I did I think it’d look jus’ like this
Remington Debuts New Split Barrel Murder-Suicide Shotgun
This may be the The Onion’s best headline ever. There isn’t a story attached, because why do you need one? Implying so much in so few words. I’m in awe.
Pigeon John, “Money Back Guarantee”
I’ve been listening to a lot of cheesy rap this month, and Pigeon John definitely graduated from the Skee-Lo school, top of his class. Here’s an earnest, funny stab at honesty in the name of seduction. John’s embarrassed by that long chorus in the middle, but I can’t fault him; his guarantee is too fun to sing along with, he couldn’t resist.
Sometimes I get anxious about decisions and trick myself into the less-than-common sense option. I’m also down for an afterlife, but don’t believe in one. In turn: this comic.
Here’s how to say “nip slip” in Chinese. I’m not planning a vacation to China but it’s reassuring to feel prepared.
Dan Deacon, “Sheathed Wings”
Dan Deacon creates cartoonish soundscapes. Over the years he’s tightened his sound, reducing the fuzz while retaining the spasticity (spellcheck’s saying that’s not a word, so now it is one). His newest, Gliss Riffer, doesn’t ever clash quite as hard as “debut” Spiderman of the Rings, but I think it indicates a maturation. Listen to this; it’s like Fuck Buttons and Animal Collective stopped taking their ritalin together. Layered pop vocals and driving beats somehow hide a clutch of animated chipmunks until they chirp through the breakdown at 2:20. The Dan Deacon of 2007 would’ve shoved them into the spotlight, but now they remain on the fringes til its their moment to shine.
Does that make sense? “The sounds at 2:20 are present in the whole song, and, despite being fairly distinct, the listener doesn’t notice them for what they are until the breakdown.” Eh
Charli XCX, “Famous”
It’s not my favorite by Chawls Exseyex (yet still leagues beyond pretty much every pop tart out there), but this new video, directed by Eric Wareheim, is a vibrant warning(?) against vanity.
chainsawsuit remains one of the best webcomics still alive
