"If I could take one thing back I would write the perfect song for you"

And apparently Max Bemis, of Say Anything, IS.  If only I had $150 to blow... I would totally let Max try his hand at any number of random events in my life. :P

In an effort to minimize the gap between music listeners and performers, take up time on warped tour, and find some solution for the fact that anyone can download any of his gosh-darn albums for free, Max came up with a predictably crazy idea in a haze of sleeping medication...

The Impulsive Buy

A coworker shared this site with me.  I thoroughly enjoy things like this.  Mock/funny reviews make my day.  So of course this had to be shared as a highlight.

Snoop Dogg + Star Wars + Adidas

Apparently Snoop Dogg was out with R2-D2 Darth Vader and some Storm Troopers in NYC promoting a new Star Wars line of Adidas.  ...It just made me laugh... a lot.

Feeding Feeds

Sorry to do this to you, but I'm trying to test out a RSS to twitter thing.  So this is just a test blog. Sorry. I'll try to have links for you later. In the mean time, check out the mashup in the previous entry.

A Brand New/P.O.S. Mashup

If you know me, you know Brand New is one of my favorite bands.  In my blog surfing, today, I found a mashup of "Sowing Season (Yeah)" by Brand New and "Optimist (We Are Not For Them)" by P.O.S.  It's really chill but it still works together really well.  I've never listened to P.O.S., but now I think I'll have to check them out.  This is really a good mashup, to me, because it really lets both songs shine (as opposed to a lot of what passes as mashups, which is really the vocals from one song laid over another song's music).  Between it being a good Brand New song and a creative mix, I'd definitely have to say this is a highlight of my day.

Death Metal + Bellydancing

This showed up in my feed/alerts for "Metal" today.  Now I want to see some belly dancers go at it to death metal.  I should find some of those videos she's talking about.  I think they'd go well together. ... Now I want to learn belly dancing!  (Damn my laziness and lack of coordination)

I know that Death Metal (or any other Metal) isn't very traditional for bellydance, but every time I hear metal (I'm a metalhead, and married to a metalhead, so this music features largely in our lives) I want to dance to it...

Awww... Nerdy Valentines Ideas... cute. :)

Nerdgasms abound.  Cute, adorable, nerdgasms. :P

10 Fabulous Valentine’s Day Gifts for Your Beloved Geek | mashable.com 

Loving a geek isn’t hard to do, what with the social awkwardness and the over-zealous online gaming. Shopping for one however, can sometimes be a challenge. Throw in that added pressure to be extra thoughtful on Valentine’s Day, and you’ve got quite the conundrum (that’s geek for “problem”)...

Flobots + Rise Against!

I love rap that has a lot of soul influence, so of course, I really dug the Flobots' release from last year.  Then, I love cross-genre collaborations.  Somehow, Flobots & Rise Against doesn't surprise me.  I feel like I knew of them working together or touring together or something before.  Not sure.  But I'm definitely going to have to remember to check this track out when I get home, tonight.

Smurfs Movie... wtf?!

I'm not really sure how I feel about this or the other violations to my childhood memories from the last few years.  Can't anyone come up with a *slightly* original idea?  ...but I have to admit: "Smurfy" does look pretty gosh darn cute.

Talk of a Smurfs movie has been buzzing for years, but finally, now, it is upon us. Raja Gosnell, of Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Scooby-Doo fame, is currently in pre-production on a live action mixed with CG feature in New York City. (Yes, the Smurfs village is in Central Park. Awesome.)...
