music

if you aren’t already aware, i have a tendency to talk to myself. and not just in my head like jd from scrubs. i actually speak out loud to myself. usually i don’t do this when there are people around, strangers or otherwise, though its been known to happen. essentially i’m just talking thinking out loud, but in a conversational style.

i’ve also a tendency, though with less frequency, to sing quietly to myself if i’ve got a particular song in my head. sometimes i don’t even realize i’m doing it, especially if i’m concentrating on something else. like ordering dinner.

i’ve acquired all sorts of new music, including additional tmbg, tracy, the decemberists, and much more. mmm, new music goodness….

while in search of album art, i came across the tmbg homepage. it’s been while since i visited and i’m pretty sure its all new and shiny looking. it includes a store and all sorts of videos, which i’m working my way through watching. also became a ‘fan’ of theirs on facebook, because their awesome! this is a statement found on their merchandise page:

This site is artist owned & operated. We proudly accept these creepy forms of corporate payment:

you gotta love’em…. here’s a video from them.

also, a facebook friend posted this video and i thought it was just too damn funny not to share with all of you:

translation: you’re all just jealous of us!

if you haven’t seen this movie, you’re missing out. admittedly, the first time i saw it, i didn’t think it was that funny, but i found a whole different appreciation for it the second time around and it just gets funnier and funnier every time i see it.

the following is a dream sequence from the movie, which is funny in its own right, with the soundtrack by kenny rogers & first edition.

yup. the same kenny rogers of the gambler fame. the first time i heard this song, i thought it was by someone like lou reed; the song has that type of feel, but no. i can’t say i’m a huge fan of kenny rogers, but do like the gambler, if only for sentimental reasons. and now i also like just dropped in (to see what condition my condition was in).

good stuff. go see the big lebowski. now!
