"I didn't write any songs [in 2008] because you can't pour manure into an espresso machine and expect a cappuccino to come out." -Jens Lekman
Poop man, Night Falls Over Kortedala was my favorite album of 2007. Hands down. And 2007 was a hell of a year. I got to see Jens at the Echo last year, which was pretty sweet, but as far as new material, nope. Until this little nugget came along this week. Huzzah.
Alright, so this dance party really isn't that super, but the bearded guy shimmying his way in front of the camera is hilarious.

Sometimes you really want to update your blog, but it's noon, you just woke up, ate an orange and are about to leave for a 5 mile run so you can comeback and eat the pint of Caramel Kettle Crunch ice cream sitting in your freezer and maybe, just maybe, catch an episode of Law & Order: SVU before work, when you realize that you could post an old Ice-T video and your two or three readers would be completely content with your effort. Happy Wednesday!

I've never been a fan of hardcore gangsta rap (by contrast, I was listening to Nirvana while my cousins were trying to write "Thug Life" on their abs in Sharpie). Typically, the violent lyrics are just way too silly; but give me good production and I'll listen to a track forever. The Led Zeppelin sample really does it for me.
Also, I saw the trailer for The Expendables earlier this week, and now all I want to do is get some friends together and liberate a small South American village. Next weekend maybe.
