These days I listen almost exclusively to last.fm radio at work which has been quietly suggesting tracks it thinks I would like for the past few months. Today I was rocking out when I finally looked at the name of the band: Phoenix. I looked them up on my chart and without me even knowing their name, they’ve steadily climbed up to one of my top spots. I literally cannot sit still when I hear ‘Armistice’ come on, and by not sitting still I mean I bop in my chair. My chair doesn’t have a lot of spring-action, so it really is harder than you think. Either way, listen to this track and thank me when you break your chair

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Karen O wants me to see her vagina
Saturday, March 28th, 2009I’m not sure why Karen O wants me to see her vagina, but she keeps putting it out there. I’m sure it’s perfectly nice but really, I like to be wined-and-dined a little before it gets to that stage of our relationship. Not that I can’t appreciate a good muff, but it’s like 1:30 in the afternoon, I just ate a Turkey Caesar from Quiznos, and it’s just not the right time. You can try again later, like maybe at 8pm, but still I’d like to start with a couple beers or something. You know, I’m not that picky, but you’re a pretty famous singer and everything, so if I could get some band pins or something. OH! Could you sing Maps for me, and replace the word “Maps” with “Keebler”? ‘Cause that would be awesome. Then I will totally check out your vagina.
Yeah (Yeah Yeah) this cover rocks!

I know many of you don’t know what me and my friends look like, but I assure you this is very close to what it looks (and what happens) when we all hang out 
And now for your enjoyment, a cover of ‘Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps’ sung entirely a cappella.

Albert Hammond, Jr. – Hard to Live In The City
Sunday, December 30th, 2007
I heard this song from Albert Hammond, Jr. (guitar guy for The Strokes) when I was watching ‘Gossip Girl’ yesterday. Am I crazy, or is it a pretty sweet track? And please don’t tell me, “Common, we’ve all been listening to this for the past year”
