What should I b 4 Halloween?

Should I be a pack of teens waiting to be picked up by our parents at the movie theatre?

Should I be a member of Deathcab for Cutie who is pumped to support Barry Obama? He has the spirit of a college student who is experiencing 'his first election with a free-spirited, conscious mind'.

Should I be the chunky guy from 'The Cures'?

Should I be an Alternative Wolverine from the hit cartoon show 'X-Men'?

Should I be 'lil cunt' from the movie Lil Miss Sunshine?

(or maybe I'll be the Guy from The Office/the guy from Talk Soup/the guy from There Is Blood)

Or Should I just stick with the original plan of being JOUSTEECE 4 Halloween?

More Pnau (Not Featuring Ladyhawke)

Pnau's song "Come Together" is a perfectly crafted hit. The first half is compelling enough to get drawn into, then the second half is probably one of the best modern uses of a children's chorus since "D.A.N.C.E."

Sometimes it's fun to listen to the teenz making bloggable hits in Ableton/Logic/etc., but Pnau's production value is pretty NUTZO.

XX BONUS XX

I can't find this mp3, but Breakbot's Remix of PNAU's "Baby" is 'as good as it gets,' like that one Greg Kinnear film.

Andrew Bird: Better than Sufjan?

Andrew Bird's songs are pretty pleasant, but do I appreciate the sincere/contrived arrangements of Sufjan Stevens? I mean, if you had to have either an Andrew Bird album or MICHIGAN in your car for the rest of your life, wouldn't it probably have to be an Andrew Bird album?

"Chicago" is a great song, but do I really want to look out the window and pretend that it makes my life more meaningful? Sufjan seems like a pretty "chill dude," though. He supports America, and that's fine by me. I don't know any thing about Andrew Bird except that his music is pleasant and probably considered to be "well crafted" by critics.

MP3: Andrew Bird - Fiery Crash
MP3: Sufjan Stevens - Chicago HIGHLY REC'D if your name is GREG KINNEAR
