I pretty much feel this every time an Open Thread rolls around, but thank god it’s Friday, yeah?

Have you entered my free Oldfish CD giveaway yet? I’ll be closing the giveaway in a few hours — noon PST, to be exact — so I can pick winners and get those posted.

So while I do that, go on and talk amongst yourselves. ;)

SONG OF THE DAY

Mando Diao - “God Knows.” Swedish garage rock. [ Download ]

Been so busy with work and such that I’m totally behind on the news. At this point I think I know more about the Korean entertainment sphere than my local news. This must be rectified. (Or must it?)

I wish I could freeze time. Remember that ’80s TV show Out of This World, where half-alien teenager Evie could freeze time by touching her index fingers together? I used to do that ALL THE TIME, desperately hoping that if I wished hard enough, it could happen. See, that’s what happens when you’re taught the American dream (”try hard enough and you can achieve anything!”) since practically birth. Somebody should have clarified that magical woo-woo items didn’t apply.

SONG OF THE DAY

Aimee Mann - “One.” By far my favorite rendition of this song. [ Download ]

Happy Friday, everyone!

Everyone’s talking about the pope, astronauts, Democrat infighting, creepy polygamists sects… What’s going on with you?

SONG OF THE DAY

Dashboard Confessional - “The Best Deceptions.” Okay, I haven’t liked Dashboard Confessional for several albums — his recent stuff doesn’t have the raw appeal of his earlier music, this ability to capture the raging hormones and painful uncertainty of adolescence, for instance. Or the emotion when he got his heart broken and wrote the intensely personal (and awesomely, spewingly bitter) album “The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most.” But still, who among us wouldn’t want to be able to respond to a cheating boy/girlfriend with this?
