My intentions to go to more concerts will be aided by this nice little program.

Bonde Do Role - Gasolina (Radioclit Remix)
The fact that you get to say a naughty word just by reading the song name is game in my book. I’ve been really into this sexy dance genre for a while, sometimes, even at night…(I listen to it). She don’t tell. So it starts of slow in the beginningThe fact that is in portuguese makes it just the slightest more sessy, because I can barely understand it. Baile always sounds like children throwing tantrums for some reason. But before this hawt trend ends, I would love to make my ways to some back alley in Rio, sweat and other liquids all over the walls, people with little clothing on pretending to keep it stricktly platonic. I should take my parents. I present to you two clips from MTV Brasil. See here and here. Shiteous quality, but I’m just here for the beats.

Juvelen - Of Course I Remember
You wont find this song on no Hype Machine. Dats wassup. Yeah I’m bragging 1.2.3. get over it. This is a smoothen fucken grooven slow jammer. His voice is so fragile but its unique. Juvelen has a nice EP out on Klicktrack. I posted his first single Hanna a while back. Not feeling this song as much as the others, but it is the most obvious choice for a single. See Discobelle for some other tracks.

Girl: Isn’t Rumsfeld gay? I mean, isn’t he, like, a known closet queen?
Queer: I don’t… Is he? Is my ‘dar off?
Girl: I think so.
Queer: No, I don’t. I can’t imagine any gay man would be self-hating enough to fuck Donald Rumsfeld.
Girl: Oh, please. Gay men have been self-hating enough to kill other gay men.
Queer: Yeah, but killing someone and fucking Rumsfeld are two very different things.

Even if one counts our dead in Iraq and Afghanistan as casualties of the war against terrorism, which brings us to about 6,500, we should remember that roughly the same number of Americans die every two months in automobile accidents. Of course, the 9/11 attacks also conjured up the possibility of far deadlier attacks to come. But then, we were hardly ignorant of these threats before, as a glance at just about any thriller from the 1990s will testify. And despite the even more nightmarish fantasies of the post-9/11 era (e.g. the TV show “24’s” nuclear attack on Los Angeles), Islamist terrorists have not come close to deploying weapons other than knives, guns and conventional explosives. A war it may be, but does it really deserve comparison to World War II and its 50 million dead? Not every adversary is an apocalyptic threat. So why has there been such an overreaction? Unfortunately, the commentators who detect one have generally explained it in a tired, predictably ideological way: calling the United States a uniquely paranoid aggressor that always overreacts to provocation.

A little quote from an excellent LA times article on 9/11. Read the rest here if you are interested.

Tickle:
1 to excite or stir up agreeably
2 to provoke to laughter or merriment
3 to touch lightly so as to excite the surface nerves and cause uneasiness, laughter, or spasmodic movements

Regina Spektor - Chelsea Hotel
Rufus Wainwright - Chelsea Hotel
Some Leonard Cohen covers here. Quality is off on the Regina one. I prefer the Rufus number and hearing him say ‘getting head’ is better. Remember: we are ugly but we have the music. Gosh they both happen to be @ Coachella. Regina is cheesy. Rufus is high on my list. I can’t begin to express my lust to see him (a)live. He is a true craftsman of art.

An Atheist fights God…FROM HIS BASEMENT!!! Dun, dun, dun. Shocking developement today in the internets. The Blasphemy Challenge is a good thing and it would be a better thing for you to read this. I recommend Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins as well. They are on the youtube and have bestselling books. Speaking of the youtube I saw this headline today: YouTube Users Watch Less TV, Resist Ads. Awesome stuff, I love how our generation is changing norms.

Three things I am really passionate about in this moment are (in no particular order):
1.) No God
2.) Climate Change
3.) Cryptozoology
Oh and music can come too

Oaxaca. De cara a la nacion. Well some chica had a bolsa today in class with an street address to some store on Calle 5 de Mayo #402. I vaguely remember where that is. But the picture above is quite moving. Street art in Oaxaca is quite famous and this is one of them. If you can read the words, good fer you.
