Here’s where my blog finally posts in the manner that all OTHER blogs do:
THE PERSONAL.
What’s it like inside my head/head?
Sorry you asked, but here goes:
Vampire Weekend, I like them. I like them a lot.
So when they have a new video out, I’m naturally going to be predisposed to like it.
When it looks like the baby of Wes Anderson and Woody Allen, I’m going to like it even more.
Have a look:
The song is “Oxford Comma” and the lovely band is Vampire Weekend. Love it:
Yeah all the blogs say it’s a definite nod to a Wes Anderson-esque film…but what is Wes if not a collection of other great directors?
Here’s a clip from Wes Anderson’s awesome 2001 film “The Royal Tenenbaums”
While the video is not in color (doesn’t feature children in go carts and the music of the a Garfunkle or a Strummer), it sent me to weekend in the Hamptons:
Woody Allen’s 1980 “Stardust Memories”
Then I suppose one could also argue that Woody’s work too, is nothing but a wonderful mix of Fellini and Antonioni (oooh my heart is going to blow up!).
Directed by Federico Fellinin 1960′s “La Dolce Vita”
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni 1966 “Blow Up“
Maybe it’s just the way my brain and heart sorts things out.
I do love Vampire, Woody and Anderson…why wouldn’t it want them to merge in one warm hug of love in my mind?

I’m listening to this, and so should you!

There’s an old saying that nothing ever beats an original, but then you have powerful arguments like: The God Father II, Rocky II, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, and Empire Strikes Back (yeah not technically a sequel sequel), and well you have to shut up because they’re GREAT sequels.
If the same kind of face shutting arguments is to be made for music, then all you have to do is set headphones/speakers onto “Hey! (The Sequel)” by Junk Science with The Boys and Girls Club.
The song is AMAZING.
If you can imagine a song being a bad ass Karate master, “Hey!” would sweep more than the Karate Kid 2′s leg. It would give it the choice of life or death, honk Daniel Son’s nose and send Peter Cetera crying all the way home in a glory of love.
Yeah, I went there cause it’s that awesome.
If you play the “Hey!” (or any of Junk Science and The Boys and Girls Club albums)over and over and over and over again, it’ll be your best weekend times their sequels to infinity.
This weekend is already kicking off so you better get on it.
And you can get it HERE.
Junk Science with The Boys and Girls Club.
The Boys and Girls Club formed in the summer of 2002 as a collaborative effort between Scott (Scott Thorough, Nuclear Family) and Mike (Short Stories). They like rap, books and unspoken truths. Watch out.
