Hey don't act embarrassed, you're not fooling anyone. (F x's 3 Series #3)

Though it is technically Saturday right now, I have decided that this will be counted as a post on a Friday, simply because I have not gone to bed yet. So there Father Time.

Anywho... Fast Friday Fab...

1. MARCH. Only a few days away, and I know it's going to be an excellent month. 4 concerts, week of best friend/sibling visit, the almost end of the semester, so many good times to come!
2. CRAIG FERGUSON (& STEPHEN FRY) They did a Late Late Show together. No audience, no nothing, just them, shootin' the breeze. And you know, making late night television history. (I'll save my glowing review of this for another evening).
3. WELLIES. I invested in a pair of very green, very waterproof wellies. How do you like them apples, Mother Nature ?!
4. GRAHAM WRIGHT. A couple of days ago he posted a solo demo track on his tumblr account. I really really really really really really love it. He's one of the members of Tokyo Police Club, and if what hes working on is indicator of what they as a group are working on, I see much more brilliance in their future. Also, it was just announced this week that he's opening for Said the Whale and In Flight Safety during their Ontario shows. I can't contain my excitement. ( !!!!!!!!!!!!! )
5. CANADIAN WOMEN'S HOCKEY TEAM. To quote Rick Mercer's tweet "The IOC or any media saying shit about womens hockey team is absurd. Let it go."

the pin-striped men of morning are coming for to dance (F x's 3 Series #2)

Fab Five Fridays... presented to you on Saturday morning...

1.) THE OLYMPICS. 'nuff said.
2.) World Sick. The one song released from the new BSS album - Forgiveness Rock Record. It comes out on May 4th. Very excited. Pitchfork can give you the deets.
3.) This is an amazingly well written review on Vampire Weekend's album Contra. (I find these wonderful things by following much cooler people than myself on Twitter.)
4.) Alexander McQueen. He was a brilliant designer who created truly amazing fashion. Not just clothes, fashion. Take a moment to appreciate his brilliance.
5.) Ginger Ale. I've had the flu this week, and so ginger ale has been catapulted in to the world of fab.

You're Going Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Today is a list kind of a day.

1) That last post was kinda long. Woah. Also, very dorky. I comment on political speeches for kicks? What is my life coming to?
2) I am super into Phoenix right now. Take a listen. I think my room mate might hate them. They've been on repeat since Tuesday.
3) I think the Twitter "over capacity" whale is charming.
4) I took a political thought final exam today and couldn't help but think of ridiculous connections between ancient political philosophers and theorists and pop culture today. Expect a super intensely geeky post soon. (as a teaser i'll just say... Socrates = K'Naan)
5) I have discovered Google Reader. It has made my obsessive blog following so much more organized. Get it (and then add my blog).
6) (parenthesis are fun) SO ARE CAPS.
7) This post makes me sound drunk. Or high. I am, in fact, merely very exhausted. Scratch that. I'm pooped.

came up to the water

Thanks to twitter my musical world has expanded ten fold.

Tonight Said the Whale directed me towards Aidan Knight and his music video for his new song Jasper.

You have to watch it.

Looks like the kind of video some friends of mine would make, and some friends of mine would be in.

You can bet this track will be on a mix soon.

teacher! leave them kids alone

im going to be so very cliche and mention something that is a-buzz in the twitter community...

BOO-YAH !!! sarah palin (aka hockey mum gone wrong) is saying sianara as alaskan governor.

1 down, 21 to go.

i cannot over exaggerate how much i detest republican politicians like palin, and just the thought of her gone a year early makes me jump for joy. i wont get into my reasoning for such strong feelings, but lets just say the issue starts with her idea of a family and ends with her support of war without reason.

though if she runs for president, or even vice president, i will have a hell of a lot more to say on the subject. and would go so far as to predict that the state's so called super powers will meet some serious amounts of kryptonite.
