Shoe Fits, Bursts
Tokyo Jihen, "Gaman" ( via ) If you're resigned to existence as a many-headed beast, there's no reason not to emphasize how weirdly everything fits together.  The b-side to " Noudouteki Sanpunkan " jumps proggily between personalities.  It's possible ...

This Day, This Day
Bembeya Jazz National - Super Tentemba (Live)(mp3) ( buy ) Was going to worry about conjuring up some sort of place and time, here, but right now I just need to defy context.  Out there it is grey and cold and down, down.   Everything about this performance is victory.  ...

Shoes Will Be Hats
I could watch this all day long.  Is there anything actually like this on the BET?  Because if there were, then I would watch the BET.  I would watch it all day long. Leave Comment Related Entries: Shouldn't Taylor Swift Be a Lot Better Than That?

Piss Taking
Butch Walker, "You Belong with Me" As if Taylor Swift's own ascension to the center of mass market consciousness hadn't fucked with this song's insider-outsider legitimacy enough, Butch Walker -- who has produced work for Avril Lavigne, Pink, Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, ...

Cowboy, Make Me Cry
Gene Watson - Still They Call Me Love (mp3) ( buy ) "The truth," Gene Watson ( myspace ) sings on the title track of his latest record, "don't satisfy me like I thought it would."  This is country music, so he elaborates upon a metaphor until it's ...

Friday!  Quick-hit thoughts of the week!  QUICK-HIT THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK! 1.  Whatever Brains - Gross Urge (mp3) ( buy ) BAM!  Whatever Brains ( myspace ) is a Raleigh, North Carolina band called WHATEVER BRAINS.  That automatically qualifies them to be AWESOME, but ...

The Human Face. We All Have One.
( via ) So.  That's what the Blood Simple remake from Zhang Yimou ( Hero , House of Flying Daggers ) is going to look like. Needs more M. Emmet Walsh. Leave Comment

Moonwalk Savings Time
It's disconcerting how seamlessly the new single from Tokyo Jihen, "Noudouteki Sanpunkan," subverts its electro-funk opening with smoov jazz.  Shiina Ringo will always be the coolest person in any room, and we don't need to watch her rotate through her bandmates as ...

11:35 - Oh hey look it's that woman from The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada .  Kidding!  Never a good sign when the monologue is devoted to establishing Who This Person Is.  JJ looks eager to break up.  Mad Men jokes include mentions of cigarettes... and drinking!  ...

Why I'm Done with Live Music, I Guess
Wipers - Up Front (mp3) ( buy ) For the last week I've been trying to sit down and write up a Very Best / Sleigh Bells concert.  But I've been unable to get past how miserable the show made me.  This had nothing to do with the performers, everything to do with the now-standard ...

What I'm Getting Charlotte Gainsbourg for Christmas: Pants, Lots of Pants.
Walked out after Antichrist too (shocked? disturbed? apathetic?) numbed to sort the things I liked (there were some of those!) from those I didn't.  Perhaps that was Big Lars' desired effect.  Before the movie entered its nastiest stretch, I could sigh or laugh away its bad ...
