you know me, but who are you?

If you are reading this I want you to tell me. If you are not reading this I want you to read this. If someone else is smelly and you are too, just grab the broom and get sweeping. I know you can dance, dance dance dance like a chicken to your pants.
If you think this is going backwards you just haven't seen the backwards man yet, he also likes sausages with mustard and cheese. If you buy them, you own them and if you book them they will come. Seven times two is still thirty-six, you can't change that no matter how hard you try.

Clementine, oh Clementine, how I heart thee Clementine. I just want to listen to you for hours, then learn to tame lions and mix cement http://tiny.cc/1HNGN

Washington, I thought you were a place I once visited and enjoyed like a kid enjoys cake or a snow leopard enjoys food . But I now know you are more than that and you are music which makes my hairs stand to attention like a battalion on the march or a dog awaiting a treat for being 'such a good boyyyyyy'. The beat and simplicity of How to tame lions is awesome and the inclusion of the 6/8 feel, pushing the track along, it's just a really nice touch. My dog is even kicking along to this one when we sit and listen together.... I didn't know that was possible but he is loving it! Maybe cause he thinks he is a Lion... I don't know...

You know what else is nice? Other than free things and things that make you go mmm... I would say something else that is nice is that sense of happiness you can get just by chillin. My current favourite thing to do to make me feel awesomely relax-od, is just when I get home from ye-old-office-o, just sittin on the veranda, playin some guit guit and just feeling the day whind up. You spend so much time in doors while working (or I do anyway) that it is only on the weekend you feel the day in all its glory, but after work you can feel it breathe its last energetic breaths before it allows night to put it to bed. It is put to rest ahead of another day of allowing us to live. I love it! Coming up with a couple of originals and covering every song I have ever loved (if I can figure it out) and just chillin. Best feeling.

Now another band needing needing needing to be mentioned tonight is Metronomy. These guys. Mate if you haven't heard of them yet or heard one of their gems like heartbreaker or radio ladio, get to this page _ http://tiny.cc/NdYCY I have just changed your musical journey, like Doc did in Back to the Future. It's ok, don't thank me now, just wait until you see them live, then thank me. The show these guys put on is one in a million. Lights on their shirts. Sweet sweet dance moves, the likes seen only in Napolean Dynamite... They have got it all. Check this live footage and tell me you are not impressed http://tiny.cc/wtpE2 the first track in this is called Holiday and is so ridiculously awesome I actually cried twice, like just now writing this to you.

Anyways, enjoy my awesome lovely peeps. I hope you enjoy and if you didn't or don't or doin it like a punk or just bippin and boppin like you is popin and lockin it like a fresh b'biggety from way out west in the big bad city or just blam blam SUCKA BLAM! Have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening/morning/steven/crab_walk/afternoon/choco_pie/evening.... whatever, just whatever, I'm out

Yeow!

What is white, wears a dress and rides a sweet bike?

A girl wearing a white rabbit mask, wearing a dress who is riding a sweet bike...

Anyways wassup? My name Is Jenis Ice Creams and I’m here to tell you the three essentials of Halloween. They could save your house, and your heart... or maybe just your house, I can't protect you from yourself when it comes to heart related problems.. i think someone else probably has a blog for that...

Alright here goes. One - buy a thousand little fake spiders and drop them off the roof of your building onto people walking past. Hours of fun and years of funny stories to tell the kids at Halloween in a ghoulish ghoulish voice. Two - wear a skeleton suit, like that seen in Daft Punks Around The world clip http://tiny.cc/CxKtA everybody loves a skeleton! And Three - Make sure you have plenty of treats for all the awesomely dressed little kiddley-winks. They wait for this day each year and to be disappointed by a poorly organised candy stash... well let's just say it is not a nice feeling...

If you ensure, as a grown-up you have prepared this year I know for a fact that your house will not be egg’d, poop-decked, el-calibried (very complicated... you don’t want it) and you will definitely not be stinky stank bombed. Treat = Treat, Trash = Trick... don’t give trash, we have enough of a rubbish problem as it is, no need to give it to the kids...

Now for some music. I just had the lovely pleasure of being passed a song I have been hunting since last Tuesday. It is a track called Animal and it is by a small Swedish band named Miike Snow. I totally heart this track, and the only thing that is better, is there film clip http://tiny.cc/ZnDGy the animal heads are an awesome little dress up to the band and perhaps this is what inspired my earlier joke. One can not be sure though. I don't know too much about the band itself other than what I am being told by Wikipedia so I will not explain, however they shall receive another mention once I have heard more and follow my nose to the goodness and sweet delight, known as awesome music.

Another track I can't leave you without throwing toward you like a frisbee, whistling with pleasant melodies, is this amazing track by The Middle East, Blood http://tiny.cc/Vv8xC once again the film clip has me gasping. The technique used for the landscapes in this animated piece are awesome and now I just want to be an animated giant... seriously I do, why do you look at me like that? It's true!

So remember Halloween, all about scaring but making the kids happy, and listen to these songs. They made me smile so hopefully they make you smile too. Have an awesome day awesome ones!

YEOW!
