Mike: I think that right there is why I married you.

Kat: That, and my awesome sousaphone skillz. Everyone always wants to marry the sousaphone player.

Mike: You rock the sousaphone like it's goin' outta style. Which it has.

As promised, here is the official Supervillain Mix CD, as built mostly by you guys and damnportlanders, along with a few random songs I found on Soulseek.

Download: Chamber Music for World-Dominators (106 MB .zip file)

Tracklist:
1. Supervillain Theme - Madvillain
2. Skullcrusher Mountain - Jonathan Coulton
3. One Day I Will Kill You - Deadbolt
4. Lament For A Toy Factory - Dr. Steel
5. Star Wars Imperial March (Rage Mix)
6. I Wish I Had An Evil Twin - The Magnetic Fields
7. Orgasmatron - Motorhead
8. Fist of Fear - Kompressor
9. The Time We Faced Doom - MF Doom
10. Red Right Hand - Nick Cave
11. Supervillain - Spaz Kitty
12. Iron Man - The Cardigans

Yeah, I know several artists are on there more than once, but you'd be surprised at how hard it is to find songs that fit the theme! Although I discovered that Dr. Steel, Kompressor, and MF Doom should really get together sometime and make the evilest album ever.

Huh, someone made a Gothic-Industrial Tribute to Smashing Pumpkins, which I found while looking for their song that was written for Batman & Robin but is now apparently being used in the Watchmen trailer.

I got a piece of correspondence at work today that had the following message on large capital letters on the first page:

ATTENTION: THIS MAILING MAY CONTAIN DOCUMENTATION ON VARIOUS MATTERS.

o rly?

Nellie McKay is playing the Doug Fir on August 15th!!

:D :D :D

Squirrel Nut Zippers are playing the day before, but I'll probably have to forgo seeing them.

But OCTOBER!!

Sigur Ros on the 6th
Gogol Bordello on the 8th
Flogging Molly on the 10th

Shit, that's gonna be a busy week.

Songs that are going to be in Rock Band 2 that I'm excited about:

"Aqualung" Jethro Tull
"Everlong" Foo Fighters
"Float On" Modest Mouse
"Lump" Presidents of the United States of America
"Master Exploder" Tenacious D
"Psycho Killer" Talking Heads
"Today" Smashing Pumpkins

I am now the proud owner of a Cake Or Death shirt. That is all.

I need just a few more songs to finish up the swing CD I'm making for Tara and Lacey. I'm looking for non-traditional stuff that still retains the energy and general rhythm of original swing music.

Here is the tracklist so far:
1. Ballroom Blitz - Sweet
2. Think Locally, Fuck Globally - Gogol Bordello
3. It's a Pose - Nellie McKay (the most danceable song about how men are evil that you'll ever hear)
4. Girl Like That - Sweet City Slang (spindiket's band)
5. Weird To Be Back - Firewater
6. A Crimson Rose and a Gin Tonic - Katamari Damacy Soundtrack
7. Little Green Bag - Barenaked Ladies w/ Tom Jones
8. Prince Nez - Squirrel Nut Zippers
9. Devil's Dance Floor - Flogging Molly
10. Mishto - Gogol Bordello (yeah, I put two of their songs on here, they're just that good)
11. Got Ma Nuts From A Hippy - The Fratellis
12. Candy Shop - Andrew Bird
13. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants
14. That's All I Know - Fleming & John
15. Sister Kate - The Ditty Bops (on kimber1337's recommendation!)
16. Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggity-Zag - Marilyn Manson (on fixedd's recommendation!)

What do you think? Any choices you disagree with? I need probably 3 or 4 more songs to round it out. :)

One of the pitfalls of eating really good food over a long span of time:

Going to a lame chain restaurant because it's convenient, dealing with the country music soundtrack and the overly perky waitresses, spending $60 on a dinner that blows ass, feeling dirty and shameful for the rest of the night because you could have used that $60 to buy GOOD food somewhere else. Or at least bought a lot of liquor with it.

When did I become such a food snob?

Good morning, everyone.



Pic taken about 5 minutes ago. I lurv my hair so much.

Oh shit, I'm really gonna have to see this movie. Maybe several times.

So my birthday falls on a Friday this year. Can't remember the last time that happened. I need some good ideas for a rockin' theme party. Don't let me down, guys.

We are such happy dorks.

I need your help, folks. I want to make a villainy/evil themed mix CD. So far this is what we've been able to come up with:

Imperial March
Skullcrusher Mountain (Jonathan Coulton)
Sympathy for the Devil
When You're Evil (Voltaire)
Pretty much anything by Dr. Steel

I need more suggestions, please help. If I can't get enough responses here, I'll try asking DP.


I also thought about making a hero-themed CD, but I couldn't think of anything that would go on it besides movie soundtracks, cheesy 80s songs, and DragonForce.

Also: New alcoblog post up at http://badspirits.blogspot.com .* I'll stop posting about it here once I'm sure you've all subscribed. :)

Awesome weekend in Seattle. I think the blue dye is seeping into my brain. Tomorrow it's time to apply another coat. The teal is cool and all, but it is a little "bubblegum", as spooktress put it.

I'd forgotten how it makes people look at you for just that extra second as they pass you by.

Just one pic for you before I'm off to Seattle:



I had a rockin' good time last night, and today I'll be rockin' on four hours of sleep.
