22 going on 23



Woman: I enjoy your show and I've been trying to get through for quite a
while.
Man: Well, We're glad you kept trying
Woman: Umm. I have this problem. Last July, I was assaulted...sexually,
and ever since then,
I've been having trouble sleeping.
Man: How old are you?
Woman: I'm 22 going on 23
Man: Medicine...Counseling...Anxiety...Sleep Programming
..Medicine...Sleep Programming
..Anxiety...Counseling...Medicine...Sleep
Programming...Depression...Anxiety...(etc.)
Woman: Well, they told me, when I have these bad dreams, to try and put
endings on the
dreams, like I come out a winner. But everytime i try to do that, I
just...don't get anywhere. It
seems, I keep having the same dream over and over every night, and
that's why I'm up so late.
Woman: And I watch one soap opera a day. And if he happens to walk in
the house, I'm
paranoid. I just jump up and turn off the TV. Except he says, "Is that
all you're gonna do all
day, just sit around and watch TV?" And I love to travel, so I've
mentioned traveling to him.
And finances are no problem. But he says that he did all the traveling
that he wanted to do while
he was in the service.

Fudge/St. Andy the First



Do you want me to tell you about Andy?

Oh, go ahead.

Anything Andy does is fantastic because he's a saint.

A saint?

Yea.

St. Andy the First.

He really loves people, so anything he does is beautiful because he sees the best in everybody.

Mmm hmm.

He sees God wherever he looks, and in whoever he looks at. So that's why they call it art, because he's just very good, you know, he's very pure so they call it art, that's what they call art, and some things...just done, um, with a touch of divinity.

Fudge.

What?

Fudge.

She wears face paint and plays a ukelele

and sings in a voice that rests somewhere between Joanna Newsom and Ella Fitzgerald. Mix in a two girl vocal chorus, xylophone and two bearded dudes on cello and bass (oh and some other girl i just now noticed) and you have some music that somehow fits this Saturday morning perfectly.



The band is called Honeycomb. I won't lie. After the first two the songs start sounding really similar. But at least it's a good sound in the first place.

A cartoon with no friends


Xiu Xiu have a penchant for making songs so sad they are funny but still sad, and quite honestly I think that's about the best combination of emotions possible in art. Sure enough, their sound has changed from minimalist idm/gamelan creepscapes to merely weird synthpop, their attitude remains in tact.

I say "they," but i guess it's just Jamie Stewart now. Given the content of the new album, "Dear God, I Hate Myself," i wouldn't be surprised if Jamie will become the new Trent Reznor. This I wouldn't mind much at first, because Xiu better shirts.

I'll end with a link to a song off the album. It involves Butters. Yeah, the character on South Park.

A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter



1. Collector agrees that the Artwork will remain connected to a live Internet connection at all times, with disconnections allowed only for the transportation of the work from one venue to another.

2. Upon purchasing the Artwork, Collector may establish a new value for the Artwork. The new value may not exceed current market expectations for the Artwork based on the current value of work by the Artist. This value may be reassessed quarterly.

3. Collector must disclose the terms of this Agreement to persons bidding on the Artwork. Any successful bidder must agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement before title to the Artwork is transferred to such bidder who shall then become the new and next Collector (the “New Collector”). These requirements and terms shall apply equally to Collector and any and all New Collectors.

4. Collector is responsible for any and all fees and charges generated by the Artwork on the Auction Venue.

5. In the event of a sale of the Artwork via the Auction Venue, Collector is required to sell the Artwork to the highest bidder.

6. The Auction Venue’s Terms of Service must be followed at all times and any failure to follow the Auction Venue’s Terms may result in additional penalty including the suspension of the Collector’s Auction Venue account by the Auction Venue.

The title sounds like a metal song. I looked it up but it only returned results for this.
