It’s just effing good, that’s all.  

(There is a really good video for this but I couldn’t find it, you can watch it on his site, this one is really 80s and fucked up – well not so much fucked up as just lame) 

head to their site http://www.lcdsoundsystem.com/ 

 

A couple weeks ago I saw the video for “Time to Pretend” and it actually managed to grab my attention for all 4:21 minutes of the song (as opposed to the 15 seconds, which has been the recent record) Does anyone else miss the good old days when being original didn’t mean distracting your audience from the same tired ideas with bright colours.  I miss radiohead (the old radiohead: pre nervous breakdown) and massive attack – what the hell happened to Jonathan Glazer, he was sick.

Anyway, if you haven’t gotten into MGMT, do.  They seem like pretty fabulous fellows. They wore capes when they performed on David Letterman. And not short poncho type, socially acceptable capes, like full on I-play-dungeons-and-dragons-in-my-basement to-the-floor cloaks, it was pretty BADASS.

Just to clarify I’m speaking of Mr. Richardson of the lions, not the BS-boys.

I was watching channel 2 the other day, which evidently plays discovery from time to time, and found myself captivated for like 3 hours.  It was about this African safari or something near Johannesburg and I fell madly in love with the guy who takes care of the lions. He was some kind of pathologist who, after having been nearly mauled to death (well maybe I’m embellishing, it might have been more of a prolonged but no doubt terrifying staring contest from behind barred glass, I can’t remember) by a lion, decided to cast off the genteel shackels of his rational kin and embrace the primitive abandon of the feral folk, like you do.  

Be warned this video might prompt unwise galavanting with wild predators (this video made me want to enter the wild and befriend a wolf or a coyote or whatever they have in High Park, a squirrel I guess…)

What happened to long hair and wearing jackets with no shirt underneath? Damn, he was such a BABE.
