star wars heads up

two thousand %$&#!!#$ eight.

so i have been thinking about the tops albums of 2008 thus far. i was going to post my list, but i thought that it would seem a bit repetitive. i mean most of our favs have been fairly similar, and mine would have probably been about the same. so i decided to make a list of some of the stand-out tracks this year. let me know what you think.

in no particular order.

1 air france    -  collapsing at your doorstep

2 girl talk   -   in step

3 health    -    crimewave

4 sigur ros    -    festival

5 fleet foxes    -    ragged wood/your protector (tie)

6 ratatat    -    shempi

7 bonnie 'prince' billy     -     i'll be glad

8 the tallest man on earth    -    the gardner

9 no age     -     eraser

10 frightened rabbits    -    good arms vs bad arms

11 wolf parade    -    the grey estates

12 ponytail    -    beg waves

13 the acorn    -    oh napoleon

14 m83    -    too late

15 animal collective    -    street flash

16 the notwist    -    boneless

17 man man     -     el azteca

18 neon neon    -    i told her on alderaan

19 the ruby suns    -    tane mahuta/remember (tie) 

20 damien jurado    -    trials

21 dan friel    -    ghost town pt. 1/horse heaven (tie)

Speaking of....

This is the Ultimate video with the most quotes and most hilarious crap ever. At least I think so.

good friends here

check out these buddies...

blueberry hill

tonight, as i avidly worked on paperwork while terrible visions of car nightmares danced through my head, my hubby bubby from the town of subby decided he'd make a pie. a blueberry pie that tasted like a dream come true.

he's so awesome.

i love how dumb cnn.com's headlines are

for example...

"U.S. exports cigarettes, bras, and bull semen to Iran"

"Spike enters teen's nose, lodges in brain"

"Vatican "regrets" female bishops"

"You're the fattest ballerina"

"Obama, McCain battle for Latino lovers" (not really, it said Latino voters, but when I first read it I thought it said lovers...i wish)

why all felids are good people

" 
these two guys in the video raised this lion (birth name is Christian) for a lot of years. then let him go in the wild, for a whole year without seeing him. after a year, they wanted to go back and see him...this is their reunion. also, in that year, Christian became the head lion of this lion family and took a wife too. like i said to greg just a little bit ago "i have so much more respect for you greg, you come from a long line of good people." 

here ya go
