It’s Football Sunday here in CT. One would think that there isn’t much room for femininity in today’s schedule, although the boyfriend did notice my cat eye’s eyeliner attempt and handed me a red rose (not pictured).

Looks like a size 6 (in today’s standards). Now only if they can come up with a cure for those point breasts!

Let us take this time to put our individual situations into perspective with a verse from Dope Jobs Homeless by Obie Trice.

I done been homeless, no place to sleep
Moms don’t wanna hear it no place to eat
Pass out on my mans couch just for a week
Till he get fed up and kick a nigga to the street

Black out from cold, freezin’ my toes
Snow fuckin over my boots, my Tims froze
Face turnin blue, cars ridin by with the little children
on the inside pointin at you
Fucked over folks, and they don’t wanna see ya
Baby momma gotta new nigga with a Visa

Sleepin in cars, abandoned shit
While the rats eat the wires you be prayin and shit
Close to pneumonia
Wishin for heat, like damn if only I came up in California

Damn, you know he got at least a grand in his pants
Face lookin old, despite the fact your only 20 years old
Stuck in the cold
Snot drippin profusely
Taking the alley route so my ex-cutie wouldn’t notice me

Dope, Jobs, Homeless, did it all
Who the fuck goin’ to tell me shit
Dope, Jobs, Homeless, I did it all
Y’all niggas can’t tell me shit

Sad, Hairless Bear Is Sad of the Day:Leipzig Zoo vets have been unable to determine what caused Dolores (above) and all other female Spectacled Bears in captivity to suddenly go bald.

From the Daily Mail:

Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction.

The bears, which originate from South America, normally have fluffy dark brown fur and would now be growing a thicker fur coat to keep warm during the winter.

Who is going to care for this bare bear?

O wow. My heart just contracted. How unnatural looking. Others animals can pull off the hairless look (cats, dogs, some rodents) not bears though.

Your Daily 90s Breakdown: Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:28:00 -0500

brianvan:

I don’t really have a particular moment that I’ve spent with a Radiohead song that I need to tell you about. I’m sure all of us have sung “Creep” at karaoke at some point. My experience with them doesn’t get any deeper than that. (Well, except having a phone sex partner in college who’s blog was called “Paranoid Android”, and no surprise that this girl just dropped off the face of the planet one day, eh?)

Radiohead is about as close as you’ll get to a universally admired band nowadays. It’s not everyone’s favorite kind of music, but few would argue the depth and innovation of their music. The other day I made it a point to mention Green Day as an example of a popular mainstay… Green Day’s songs are not complex, experimental, or groundbreaking. Radiohead, on the other hand, has no problem spending months or years in the studio (and quarrelling with one another) so that they can produce an album that makes you say at first, “WTF”. I am still puzzled about Kid A.

But we all know it’s good stuff. We know this because their music gets better over time. We know that our resistance to anything they release is just fighting the future. We know that, in the years since, they’ve been ripped off by everyone, and that all imitators were vastly inferior. (The whole emocore scene owes a huge debt to them, and have repaid their influences by mostly embarassing themselves to anyone over 23)

Right now I can think of only two good acts to derive from Radiohead: Coldplay and MGMT. I’m ok with that, though. Just like with Radiohead, I can listen to their albums straight through, no song-skipping or single-picking.

The thing is, when “Creep” came out, we just thought it was this great poem about pathos and insecurity with a plain music video by a decent band from Britain. (I mean, is Chumbawamba going to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame someday? No. But imagine if Chumbawamba was the band that released OK Computer) Pablo Honey was a good album, but no one was calling them the next Beatles. Well, more than anyone else who was called “the next Beatles” in the time since then, they’ve lived up to the name. They’ve innovated and influenced both rock and ambient music very strongly. Some of the stuff that they’ve done was just plain new like the way the Beatles came out with stuff. We’ll be talking about how good they were… forever.

I chose “Paranoid Android” as a good transitional song from their early-to-late music, with downtempo lead-ins to aggressive rock chords, the Douglas Adams inspired name, and the kick-ass videowith the bare-tittied mermaids (along with all the other stuff that is messed up now, but was way messed up for basic cable in 1997). That said, who of you isn’t also big on “Creep”, “High & Dry”, “Karma Police”, or “No Surprises?” I thought so.

BVan on Radiohead = Amazing.

We know that our resistance to anything they release is just fighting the future.

BVan on Radiohead and phone sex = Deep down stomach chuckles.
