I have listened to The Rifles 176 times according to my musical spies at Last.fm, and I just realized I really know nothing about the band. So instead of spending literally dozens of seconds researching them before writing a blog entry, I am going to simply state some simple facts I know:
That is all.
I’m not sure where this random German dude on Last.fm got this cat, but I’m totally rocking out with him while I listen to a most excellent playlist. And yes, it was very difficult to not make a joke about a vag1na.
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 
I’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.
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.

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”
