omg please read this whole thing. every time i see a commercial for this show i am not ok for 30-45 minutes. are you going to watch it? i don't know if i can handle it. let's discuss.

UPDATE:

this is happening.

horror drag

just watch it and love it. sharon needles eat your heart out. this was my immediate reaction after watching this video SPOILER ALERT : "then when she pulled her own baby out of her simulated vagina (also i cant believe that thing was shoved up there the entire time) and then the baby threw up blood all over her i LOST IT."

spotifriday

I made my first spotify playlist!  Come on over and listen to Nordic Tracks, a tastefully crafted assortment of artisanal music petifores from those ice covered tall and blonde countries.  Special thanks to Kiki for helping me remember so many different artists.

You know, I heard joe paterno picked up nordic tracking once he put on a wig and stopped covering up child rape.

american horror story: gpp edition

This morning i heard a loud clatter in the kitchen around 5:45 a.m. When I went out to take a shower at 6:30, this is what i saw.

The window is closed. Everyone else was asleep.











My head was resting 4 feet away (through a wall).




I am freaking out you guys. It was either a mouse or a ghost but some one wants me dead.

twilight 2.

catherine hardwicke, director of the first twilight movie, is directing the new little red riding hood movie. the trailer has just been released, and as gawker points out, it looks exactly the gd same as twilight.

i'll still watch it because it stars 2Pz fave amanda seyfried and i really liked twilight.

brb finding out if that's 2Pz fave karin dreijer andersson on that trailer.

UPDATE: yes! it is!

As it turns out, Catherine Hardwicke talked to Hero Complex about the film, and revealed that not only is the song Andersson’s, but she’ll appear in the film. Hardwicke says that there’s a scene in the film reminiscent of Burning Man Festival where the townspeople “build this giant wolf effigy, a huge bonfire, everyone’s dancing like crazy and partying and going wild, so I used the Bosch painting The Garden of Earthly Delights as my inspiration for that. We built all the instruments in the Bosch painting, a hurdy gurdy, standing horn pipes, the same blue drums.”

It’s in this scene that Andersson will appear, in the guise of her side-project Fever Ray, whose self-titled album was one of the best records of last year. Hardwicke relates that “We commissioned this band from Sweden called Fever Ray. She’s always performing in radical costumes, she’s like the Lady Gaga of Sweden. In our movie she’s wearing a harvest mask with a corn husk face and she’s singing and everybody’s dancing and singing.” (via)

kewl!

i wasn't that excited about the new LCD soundsystem, and then i heard this song.

lcd soundsystem - dance yrself clean

stick with that one. it turns into a knife song a couple minutes in. in a really good way.

the new album leaked (as they tend to do), so you can now stream the whole thing on their website here. enjoy!

iamamiwhoami

i still don't know whats going on here. christina? karin dreijer andersdon? ladytron? these things are too well produced to be a lame internet joke, so someone is spending money on a real viral internet marketing scheme. also, she just doesnt look like xxx-tina.

streaming The Knife

their latest album is streaming on the internet right now if you have the time and the inclination to listen.

i have both.

internet mystery

now people are saying that its maybe xxxtina, maybe goldfrapp, maybe the knife. maybe nothing. not ke$ha though.
