I almost forgot this song existed. I first heard it on Indie 103 (the best radio station ever) in Santa Monica. Originally, I thought Of Montreal just had a new single. They didn't. I really miss living and being in California. I cannot wait to go back.
Coconut Records is the musical project of actor Jason Schwartzman. His album, Nighttiming is incredible and I heard he plays all of the instruments himself.
This song always makes me cry when I listen to it.
"West Coast"
Will someone take me back with them? I'll pay rent on time, trust.

Like, Ahhhhhh!!!!
Guess who's coming to the Gwinnett Arena?
New Kids On the Block.
Ahhhhh!!! *Cue school girls screaming, holding up handmade posters and wearing self-made shirts declaring themselves Mrs. Jordan Knight.*
Buy tickets here.
They are cheaper than Kanye's.
Kthxbai.

Winehouse In Lisbon
Oh dear. Amy Winehouse's performance in Lisbon. Draw your own conclusions. Here's a marker and some construction paper.
What would Pete Doherty say about this. Probably, "Good on ya, mate!" I don't know. I just like that British saying.

Retail In Review: H & M at Northpoint Mall
Anyway, here in GA, we never had an H & M. We finally got one, in Northpoint Mall, in Alpharetta. I arrived very optimistic, and excited, thinking, "oh finally!"
OK. Offish, this H & M sucks ass. The aisles are super tiny, and clogged up with less hipsters, more mall skanks and preppy college kids. I couldn't even move. And then I waited in line for 15 minutes for a fucking changing room because there were only five of them. FIVE. CINCO. CINQ. (5). Everyone was in everyone's way, the selection was terrible, and the jewelry section practically didn't exist.
You know what I think? Nothing compares to the H & M at the Beverly Center. Man, I used to hit that place up and ALWAYS find something hot. I rarely waited for a dressing room and the people there were 72939362930 times cooler. I loved it.
Sigh...maybe the flagship store in Atlanta will redeem their steez. Le sigh.

Heart Like Whoa
I don't know who the hell Lady GaGa is. I mean, obvi I would if I bothered to do a little Myspace and blog checking, but I won't. I can, however, tell you that this song is very catchy and annoying...simultaneously. It's like a combination of Whitney Houston circa "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," Annie, and Mariah Carey circa "Honey." Whatev. See/hear for yourself.
"Just Dance"

The Rip
For anyone who doesn't know, there is a new Portishead video out now. I think this will become one of my favorite songs of 2008, because I know Third won't be one of my favorite albums. Ah well, it'll show up on someone's top ten list. (I'm talking to you Pitchfork.)
"The Rip"

Shomer Shabbas
It's, er, Sunday, last time I checked, and there's nothing to do. You know, like that song..."easy like Sunday morning"...hmmm, whatev. Anyways, since news is slow, the Sartorialist hasn't posted anything new, the Long Blondes' new album isn't really worth talking about, and I've just been eating out of an economy sized bag of Sugar Smacks with the same spoon for 5 days, I'm just gonna kick it casual with a really AWEsome quote.
(de NME)
"It's totally racist. Everyone is just so shocked that I don't like R&B. It's stupid. It's pissing me off."

Awwwww...Santi....The world needs more women like her. Unafraid to stand up and confront social norms while sounding like a thirteen year old.
Snaps for Santogold!
