...because I'm secretly German. Ha joke fail. I miss my lack of humor skillz! Basically I can't be arsed to move so it's just a post with Alias 11pt which means this will be probably deleted sooner or later to preserve the alleged order here. SPM is over and fakkin 'ell WTF am I going to do for the next 6 months?!? After that moment of panic I ate a donut and became calm. Afterward I resumed panicking. Sure the holidays are fun and all.. but not after you get this weird epiphany from The Greater Power with an impending image of yourself with 10 pounds on the arse hibernating on the couch. Freaked me out, man. Even after 2 days of liberation I'm already caught drooling unintentionally on the couch in the morning after a two-episode run of The Simpsons. Chances of me resembling a female Homer Simpson (with sexier hair, heh heh) in 3 months (of immobility) is highly probable..

The point is! This post was supposed to be a thinly-veiled attempt to tell you SOMEONE IS TURNING OLDER next week (loud cough) and obviously the only person I'd go through all the trouble writing about it is.. well, me. (coughs louder) I don't know what to do or where is appropriate to be at(?) but I know.. food involvement is MANDATORY! Blah, blah, blah on to important things: Basement Jaxx. After a night of contemplation (and junk-food indulgement) I think I'm gonna go. I'm technically and sort of unofficially 18 next year which makes it.. somehow OK, right? Yes. I think so. Oh well.

And this is probably predictable but I have furthered my creep status by now validating this hobby called "collecting pictures of footballers in the state of stripping" and it is fun. Because I am lifeless. Please take me out hahaha. The amount of pictorial dessert is gradually growing and I think I may be on the pathway to a record here by the time I commit myself to the college world. My family would be so proud.

AND!!!! I don't know how to say this except to write it in caps lock accompanied by a plethora of exclamation marks but I CAN'T WAIT FOR WORLD CUP!!!!!!!!! (that enough?) !!!!!!!! Right, there. Obviously girls worldwide will root for Spain for the collective amount of sex appeal.. sadly I am one of those girls. I kid, I kid. The one and only reason for this stature is I LOVE XAVI. Xavi is immense. He's probably the most underrated footballer ever so that overshadows his genius passing skillz and his.. just.. his game. If you watch Barcelona's early-morning matches (if you're lifeless and rarely come home at 4am piss out drunk) you can observe his underrated talent and BE THA JUDGE. I also dig his counterpart Albino friend Iniesta but this cunt scored a last minute stunner vs. Chelsea in the Champions League that made us lose!!!! Bitch, please. Xavi + Iniesta = MIDFIELD WIN.

A-ha and I mentioned something about a fashion project thing. I rarely embrace my girly side (except wardrobe-wise, where I have 314 frocks and my refusal to commit to pants) but yes that work thing for the Danish fashion brand's web progressed into an offer.. me.. in their so-awesome Spring/Summer 2010 booklet. I was skeptical at first with my own styling abilities (because I am sadly just C-grade and normal..) but WHAT THE HELL. The main reason for this acceptance is that.. it's gonna be in their stores and stuff and if Gourcuff ever stumbles into their shop which I assume are present in France.. he's gonna see me. And realize that we ~*are destined*~ to be together. Because you know.. if not.. I will then continue my pursuit of near-death experiences just so I can see his face.. like jumping into the sea and drowning (because I really can't swim).. like Bella*~*~

(I only know this because of the f-cking trailers all over the tube)

I will now continue living life (continue living life=shuffling Fantasy Football, scour for food in the fridge, get mad when finds none, proceeds to call 1300-13-1300 to order myself a Prosperity burger) and become a hedonist.. by clean, natural ways=go out, buy things. A-ha and if I'm not so goddamn lazy I might take pictures and assume that everyone is still reading and show you my new shoes (two of them) or show you my face (there is only one) or show you my.. OK bye.

I want to grow old with you

In St James's Park, there were a number of bushy tailed squirrels scampering around. Agile, amusing, cute and hilarious, always charging at smiling visitors for peanuts. Very entertaining.

Also, in the park, was this charming elderly lady. I did not chat with her, but somehow, i felt disturbed.

Her companion, was a sweet squirrel, and they valued each other for both, food, and companionship. Did you know that loneliness is contagious?

How many of us prefer to grow old alone, we're not Scrooge, are we? How many "i want to grow old with you" phrases have we whispered to our other half, before we go to sleep, in denial of the hurtful fact that,as time goes by, there'll be only one left.

The architect of our own misery (this phrase is quoted from Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book), is ourselves, i guess.

It's how you see life, and how we approach it.

The old lady and the squirrel.

Athlete - The Getaway

Athlete

Athlete: Four piece out of London, England. You’re probably familiar with their 2005 single Wires, which saw them being becoming household names in the UK and even saw them make it to Australia. Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t their first release (Vehicles and Animals was their first full-length album) and hasn’t been their last.

Following the release of Tourist (the album that contained Wires) was the release of the 2007 album Beyond the Neighbourhood. I must admit, this release didn’t make a big impact in Australia and as it seems, didn’t make it into the collection of many, claimed to be considered “a disappointment” by some.

Much like Coldplay, Athlete has been critically acclaimed for their songwriting efforts picking up a Mercury Music Prize nomination and winning an Ivor Novello award for Wires. The band has additional similarities to Coldplay, in that their music it quite mellow and mature; appealing to a slightly older audience than your general indie-pop/rock. If you hate Coldplay though, never fear their music is not quite in that same realm of “ya mum probably likes it”. That is, I don’t think mums would dig Athlete. They still retain that slight edge which will appeal to the kids, but maybe not the ones that think dressing like they stepped out of the 80’s is cool.

To celebrate the upcoming February 2010 US release of the bands fourth full-length album Black Swan (the album was released in the UK in August), the band have recently released an EP entitled, The Getaway.

Black Swan, is not, as you may have thought, a tribute to the state emblem of Western Australia, but apparently, encompasses the events and emotions that the boys from Athlete have gone through. Based around the tale that saw the Black Swan being seen as a mythical animal for hundreds of years, until someone went to Western Australia (obviously) and the metaphor that life is made of up significant events, some of which can be shocking, both good and bad.

Don’t worry, it’s not all sadness and gloom. The first single from Black Swan, Superhuman Touch (which is also on the EP), is quite upbeat and lyrically uplifting. Whereas the EP title track, The Getaway, is less uplifting, but just as heartwarming and emotive lyrically.

Kill It Kid - Just Like Christmas

Kill It Kid

JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS
We've been receiving a ton of Christmas/Holiday recordings lately. It's really hard to pick and choose what I'll be writing about in the upcoming week. I might as well get on top of some of these recording. Today we have Kill It Kid (killitkid.com / myspace.com) If they sound familiar to you, that's because we've previously mentioned them before.

Their song, "Just Like Christmas" is a cover of Minnesota's own Low. Since we're from Minnesota, this is worth checking out. You can download your own copy in a variety of formats (including flac) over at www.killitkidchristmas.com.

Low's ‘Just Like Christmas’ is a great tune, with an understated lyric and tender sentiment that we felt - with all our festive strength - we could break into a duet and still compliment the narrative. So we put it in front of the fire, filled it with cinnamon, brandy, and cranberry sauce and put some spurs on it!

-- singer Chris Turpin

The band is finishing up their 2009 tour:

Please Upgrade Your Browser

MYSPACE MUST DIE!!
As you know, it's the nature of the business, but I have to use myspace because of its deep roots in music. Anyway, by choice, I am using Firefox 2.0. I tried 3.5, I don't like the way it handles scripts ... and there are some themes and extensions that does not work in the latest version, so yes, I'm still clinging on 2.0.

About a few weeks ago, myspace made this boneheaded decision that it wouldn't let you in if you're using old browsers. It's okay, it's not like I actively use myspace, but as the weeks went on, I realized I had to stop ignoring this problem.

So here is the solution for those of you suffering from the same problem (such as all Mac firefox users, apparently): get User Agent Switcher 0.7.2.

This little extension tells myspace, "I'm Internet Explorer 8, let me in!!". If you want to fool it into thinking you're running Firefox 3.0, add the following in "new":

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009082707 Firefox/3.0.14 That should do the trick.

PS, User Agent Switch is also useful when you stumble upon a "members only" forum. You simply change your agent to "Googlebot 2.1".
