"I like a nap after dinner/and to see the seasons come round in good order."
Today I have no music for you to check out, rather, I have spent it eating, napping, reading Basil Bunting, napping more, then scuttling around the internet like some sort of crab. To that end, I finally saw the video that has set the web ablaze, namely, the overweight guy dancing to Russian pop (excuse me, Romanian pop) in his office on a webcam. I won't give you the link, but if you're that tied up on it, Andrew Sullivan has the link about halfway down his page. Even CNN used the clip at one point on one of their morning shows, but then, CNN is trying to be energetic and newsworthy. For example, on Anderson Cooper 360, they once used Television's "Marquee Moon" as outro music. The track in question, after some research, is called "Dragostea Din Tei" by Ozone. The yodelling is very catchy. Very catchy indeed. Sort of like when I first heard "Baby" by Melody Club.
Speaking of the big fish blogger-types, also linked from Andrew's page is a gallery of fotos of Wonkette, Instapundit, AS, some NYT types &etc. hanging out at some party. They're so much prettier than I thought. Seriously. Well, most of them.
If Elton John can get away with putting his head on a jetliner, then I can get away with a day of no music stuff. Or, I suppose I could just ramble. For instance, Soon, I shall be purchasing albums by the Necks, another Stars of the Lid record (Avec Laudenum, for those keeping score at home) and some delicious pseudo-drone from Staalplaat. Yes, I am heavily in the middle of a drone phase, brought about by Slowdive, nonetheless, which has led me to pronounce The Dead Texan's self-titled record the first great album I've heard this year (even though I get the distinct feeling it was actually released last year). Superwolf is right there with it, and M83's Before the Dawn Heals Us isn't too far behind.
In other news, if you want my band's first full-length, it's available for $5. Self-promotion? Fred Durst does it, so can I. Take that, good taste.
