Guided By Voices - Teenage FBI

Someone tell me why I do the things / That I don’t wanna do / When you’re around me I’m somebody else / Someone tell me why I act like a fool / When things don’t go my way / When you’re around me I’m somebody else

Good news everyone! A new Noah Baumbach (The Squid & The Whale) film is in sight. Greenberg stars Ben Stiller and judging from the trailer (see below) this one does look pretty promising. Always had a soft spot for Stiller anyways.

Major Lazer - Keep It Goin’ Louder

I’ve just finished some major exams (quite successfully, I think/hope) and me and some friends have since started to embark on a party marathon that is extending into the next few days. This is the tune we pretty much had the DJ play non-stop last night. Such a catchy song. The video is freaky good too.

Hahaha, this is a good one…Paramount Studios are actually pushing an Oscar campaign for Transformers 2 as ‘Best Picture’ and Michael Bay as ‘Best Director’. You have to hand it to them it is indeed more creative than just simply setting a big pile of dollar bills on fire! Imagine they came through - best Oscar ceremony ever!?  (via The Playlist)

Okkervil River - The War Criminal Rises And Speaks

My favourite song right now. I’ve somehow never really warmed up to the critically more acclaimed ‘The Stage Names’ but I couldn’t tire of listening to either ‘Down The River Of Golden Dreams’ or ‘Black Sheep Boy’ even if I tried. Great band.

The heart wants to feel / the heart wants to hold / the heart takes past Subway / past Stop and Shop / past Beal’s, / and calls it “coming home” / the heart wants a trail / away from “alone” / so the heart turns a sale / into a well-worn milestone / towards hard-won soft furniture / fought-for fast food, / defended end table that / holds paperbacks and back U.S. News / the mind turns an itch / into a bruise / and the hands start to twitch / when they’re feeling ill-used.

I’ll tell this story because it’s funny for me, but I’ll get shit for it. I was talking to [LCD Soundsystem’s] James Murphy once, and he told me this story of when he was a little kid. He heard the Smiths’ “This Charming Man”. He lived outside New York, so he skipped school to go into the city to get this 12”. He went into Bleeker Bob’s or someplace, and he was like, “I’m trying to get the Smith Brothers?” And the guy’s like, “The Smith Brothers?” And he’s like, “Yeah, the Smith Brothers? ‘This Charming Man’?” And he’s like, “Uh, you mean the Smiths.” And James is like, “It’s funny because here I am, this little kid. I’m skipping school to go get a Smiths 12”. It’s a UK import; it hasn’t even been released yet, and the guy’s still giving me crap.” And I’m like, “Oh wow, James. I have a similar story about begging my mom to take me to Rockingham, North Carolina to buy the ‘Ice Ice Baby’ cassette.” I think that’s a pretty good indicator of how much cooler James is than I am.
