Love - Seven And Seven

The Benny Goodman Orchestra - Sing Sing Sing (With a Swing)

The Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

The Cold War Kids - Something Is Not Right With Me

Flight of the Conchords - Think About It

One of my favorite Flight of the Conchords songs. I have posted the television version along with the live version. Both are excellent in my opinion! : ) Oh, also, the actual song in the live version starts at around 2:30 in the video.

Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island / Lightning Strike Rescue Op

Katy Perry - California Gurls featuring Snoop Doog

I feel a little embarrassed to put this on my blog, but this song is so catchy. And its not like I haven't posted terrible guilty pleasure songs (Party and Bullshit in the USA, anyone.) Also, is it just me, or do Katy Perry and Zooey Deschenal (spelling? I don't really care though) look really similar? They should do a song together, and it will be awesome. Way better, than that one time Shakira and Beyonce made a music video. It had so much potential, but that song sucked.

Django Reinhardt - Body And Soul

Grammar Nazi's (A Remake of the Opening Scene of Inglourious Basterds)

Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells

Suicide - Ghost Rider

La Vita Nuova by Allegra Goodman

 Another awesome story from The New Yorker's fiction section. Here is the first paragraph:

The day her fiancé left, Amanda went walking in the Colonial cemetery off Garden Street. The gravestones were so worn that she could hardly read them. They were melting away into the weedy grass. You are a very dark person, her fiancé had said.

10 Things I Hate About Commandments

Recently, I've been reading a translation of the Old Testament by this awesome guy, known as Rabbi Telushkin.  To make the whole Bible reading process a little easier, I've thought about different shortcuts I could take to learn all the famous stories. Obviously, there was the Passover episode of Rugrats--but a better more theatrical retelling of the bible can be found in "The Ten Commandments." I still haven't watched that movie (it is 4 hours long!) but I did find this re-cut trailer for the movie in the style of a teen movie. It's pretty hilarious. If you're really into fake re-cuts of films, here's a hilarious one for The Shining, as well.

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough

Last night I was at a friend's confirmation. I didn't get home until around 7 in the morning. At 530 when someone put on Just Can't Enough, I think it might have been the best time of my life. Intoxicated, tired, and happy to be dancing with old friends, the nostalgia of the song and the situation made the moment one of those great times, when you're genuinely really happy, and are so conscious about how great the situation is. Great night, that's for sure.

Lost Limbs By Arthur Bradford

I read this awesome short story in the New Yorker today, and I was going to link it here. But then I thought about how all the short stories I put up on the blog are from the New Yorker fiction section, so I thought I might put up another fun short story I read somewhere else. I actually really like this story, its a funny, quirky tale about a guy dating a girl who doesn't have an arm. Here's the first paragraph:

It wasn’t until my second date with Lenore that I discovered one of her arms was missing. Our first meeting had been a blind date, arranged by my brother’s wife, who had neglected to mention this arm situation. I suppose I’m not a particularly observant person. This is something I’ve been told on a number of occasions. Lenore wore a very well-made prosthesis, though, and I believe it was an understandable oversight on my part.
