Mighty Mouse + Bird Peterson + Ocelot + Perfume

Yes, yes, yes! I ordered an iPod yesterday. Which means I can finally ride the train again. And drown out the sound of brutality with noises by Taylor Swift and Katy Perry and Robyn and The Human League and Depeche Mode and Yazoo and MMG and whatever else. Because as tite as interacting IRL with friends can be, listening to strangers blah, blah, blah about this, that, and the other is so indisputably the worst thing ever. I just think people in general are super overrated, and hearing them exist is the ultimate struggle. So yea, I'm super hype on this whole iPod thing.

Bird Peterson and Ocelot - Soul Survivor by T&ARecords

Was posted up at the bar around the corner from my spot last night. Yapping about a bunch of cheesy songs I play at one of my residencies. And NSR's all, "Blah, blah, blah, you're a Bar Mitzvah DJ, blah, blah, etc." And so naturally I just kept talking about my cheese and he did this thing he does where he rolls his eyes because he can't deal with what a cheesy turd he's hanging out with. Anyways. The gal DJing played an Avril Lavigne song. And I kinda got pretty super excited. But I'm all, "Chill, self. Or Noah's gonna make fun of you again, and that'd totally suck." So I got to thinking. Like. How long do I have to wait for an official compilation of Avril Lavigne's greatest hits?

Related: I really wanna go to the Warped Tour this summer. So if you're friends with me, live in NYC, and read this blog, please consider hanging out with thousands of 16-year-olds and me for a day. I'm looking at you, Noah. Miles and Drew. Kinney. Etc.

Perfume + Scott Melker + TLC + Marvin Gaye

So I'm heading up to my alma mater to do a wee bit of DJing today. Err, I'm heading up today. DJing tomorrow. Which means I'll be feeling like an old man for the next 48 hours. The kids in college now? Clowns probably don't even remember Legends of the Hidden Temple. Probably never saw The Secret World of Alex Mack. Weren't in stitches during All That. And I find it remarkably difficult to respect anyone that doesn't come from my era of Nickelodeon.



So I got paid yesterday. And yea. I went hammer on the 99¢ store. Tin piggy bank with kittens and puppies on it? Check. Three new scented candles? Absolutely. Value box of Kraft Dinner? Obviously, duh. Sometimes life is just so indisputably good.

Girls' Generation + Perfume

I overheard a conversation about K-pop earlier today, so I decided to revisit some of my favorite Girls' Generation tracks. (OK. Obviously this happened on the internet. So when I say "overheard a conversation" I actually mean "read an email chain.") So to me, it had to be either "Oh!" or "Gee." And you know what? "Gee" it is. On the strength of the video alone.



So then a friend of mine started yapping at me about J-pop. (Obviously online too. So by "yapping at me" I mean "posting on my Facebook wall.") Specifically, Perfume. And I mean. Yo. This song is incredible. I've played it at least twelve times in the past hour. Literally not exaggerating, not even one bit. So good.
