Just read the last three. I was on Fox News!

So here's the long but chilling story:

I pulled myself out of bed this morning, as I do every day. After a delicious breakfast, I groggily got into Kevin's car to go to school. Half-awake, I went through first period, band, and was relieved to get to study hall, a 42-minute period of talking with Dave, Chris, Wesley, Emily, Caitlin, Kiefer, Dane and Jonno. We were let out of band late again, so Dave and I were rushing to study hall when we saw Wesley leaving, saying he had a band lesson. We shrugged it off. Not that unusual, sucks for Wesley. Little did we know: we were about to be trapped in our class for over SIX HOURS!!!!!!!!

Dave and I sat down at the same desk, one of those two person deals that are usually in the science classrooms. Mr. Spinner, our study hall teacher, paid no attention to us. As usual. Little did he, nay, we all, know: we would go through a SIX HOUR ordeal leaving all of us scarred and battered, closer than we had ever been. Close like only a high school lockdown and school shooting threat could leave us.

Person on P.A. system: "Attention teachers, please close your classrooms, we are going into lockdown." Okay not that bad, second or third drug search of the year. Later: "*********** **************, please report to the office." More announcements like this. The bell rings for third period, but we have to stay in because of the lockdown. Yesssssssss!!!!!!!! Cell phones come out, we don't care about being caught. "hey wher r u. whats happenin?" We all just think this is a productive drug search. We hear that a kid ran out of class towards the highway. This is awesome!!! We're missing the chem quiz!!!

Kids are running, we hear that kids with guns are by the creek, we see S.W.A.T. teams coming through the halls, we're let out little by little to go to bathrooms/get lunch, helicopter from Fox News comes, we're all over the news because two kids sent texts/IMs that they might steal a gun. The kids are still missing! Thanks to cell phones and iPod, my friends and I still had a good time and we called everyone and stuff. Jonno got mad because I wouldn't play Belle & Sebastian for him, "I just don't like angry music, I don't see why all music shouldn't be happy." was his response to me playing rap to him. This is a hardcore liberal. Anyway we get let out of school finally, all much closer than before and they're making a TV show about us called The 401_1127331N. Was it 14? I don't know. In conclusion, things were probably intense but we didn't really notice because we were having the time of our lives missing every class, trapped in the best class possible.

9. Surplus of Black Eyed Peas at dance party
8. Gawker, Idolator, Gorilla Vs. Bear
7. Mondays
6. Sundays
5. Saturdays
4. Wednesdays

2. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - The Seedling from his latest album, The Letting Go.
Actually, I don't really hate it, but it's not as good as the Daytrotter session, you know? That means I hate it, because it fails to live up to the potential. I really get pissed off when I listen to it, even though it's still really good. I mean really, really good. Maybe the best track on the album, which is pretty good.
1. Lack of T.I. at dance party

K. TO(K/T) BLOG SPOT ON OTT, GOT (IT)? NOT BOT

Hey why this guy got to be such a downer?

On Riff Market's enormous blog post on 45:33, commissioned work, mp3 blogs:
I feel like you're high on the vision of a future that gives artists money, and it is so fucking hard to make money at art now, I don't blame you, but ultimately, anyone riffing for the man is getting played worse than the worst MP3 blogger.

"I feel like"?! Just say it outright: "You're high." Man oh man be more positive, please!

On parenting
The effort we expend to reassure ourselves that our parents and teachers weren't fucking with us or fucking us up – the blogs, the drugs, the one-album-and-out "bands," the YouTube gag reels – is one huge mashed potato Devil's Tower, and we are drooling in front of it.

I think this is the worst sentence I've ever seen.

On the Arcade Fire
I hate this band.

You don't, really. Your seemingly original opinion is worthless, don't kid yourself; everyone loves the Arcade Fire!

On the worst song ever
"Losing My Edge" is the worst song I have ever heard.

Hmmm! Hmmmmmm!!! Very interesting!!! Well according to your critique of that blender list of worst songs of all time, you say "The Flame" by Cheap Trick is the worst song ever! Very suspicious! Actually I hate "Losing My Edge" too.

On Ryan Schreiber
I don't know the whole of it, but the "sold all my records and moved to the big city" backstory he's been hawking in recent straight-news fluff pieces is a load of shit.

No!!!!! Ryan Schreiber is a hero and a gentleman! How dare you question him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On typed expressions of regret
Sigh.

Don't type that out! Bringing the whole internet down, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh wait this is a guy who wrote a book on Joy Division. This is acceptable behavior then, carry on.

One dream down

After playing all the sound effects and dinosaur noises and Benny Hill Theme on the Jurassic Park themed float at homecoming today, we played "What You Know" at half time when we drove around the track. 20 of my friends dancing to various rap instant hits and me on the mic, rapping along.

We got 3rd.

My biggest problem with Beck's new album

...he leaves out all the articles, pronouns, relevant words and such in the song title. What a jerk! I hate pretentious people who do stuff like this! Will it kill Beck to add those words in that will make it overall more grammatically appropriate? Answer: yes.

Come on. "[I] Think I'm in Love" and "[The] Cellphone's Dead", for starters. He really needs to learn manners or something. Not to mention: "[A] Strange Apparition", "[Those] 1000BPM", "[My] Nausea", "[My Best Friend's] motorcade", "[The] Soldier [That Goes By The Name of] Jane", "We [All] Dance Alone [This Way]".

Good news; he gets it right in one song: "The Information". Yes, that is perfectly fine. Music could generally be better though.

An old TV show pitch I wrote down back in 1991

It's a television adaptation of the famous "Up Series", filmed of real life people facing real life problems just like you! This touching television show follows the life of several young adults this time living together in a house doing ordinary, and sometimes EXTRAordinary things. It's called .00273972602740 Up. Possible alternate title: The Real World.
