strip mining

OK, so I don't know if it's because I've had a couple of drinks or what, but this is fucking hilarious to me... of course, only if you know the title of the comic, which is, of course, "strip mining":



Oh, natalie dee, I love you so hard.

And because I've had nothing of interest posted here lately, these are some albums that I am digging really a lot at the moment:


Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster
This is just all kinds of amazing dance-tastic-ness...


Grand Archives - The Grand Archives
OK, so this one (to my knowledge) hasn't even leaked yet, but I've got a promo copy for review. So mostly I'm just bragging. It's really really really awesome.


Juno Sountrack
Can't stop listening... just... can't... stop...


Evangelicals - The Evening Decends
For people who like complete aural fucking freakouts. Fantastic.


British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Yes, yes I do like rock music. Especially, I like THIS rock music.


The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride
Well, I mean, it's the Mountain Goats, so... It's lovely. Plus the album cover is beautiful.


Christian Silva - Onward!
Read. Awesome.


Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
I'm pretty much all about anything Vampire Weekend lately...

the drew & natalie empire, juno, christian silva, aka the addiction post.

I am a huge fan of all the Natalie Dee, Toothpaste For Dinner & Married To The Sea comics.

This one makes me laugh, not because I did ANY of these things, but because I have managed to delete my enter iPod not once, but twice. So this comic made me think of me:



In other and semi-non-related musical news, I finally finally finally saw Juno tonight. As I expected, it was amazing.



Ellen Page deserves every award known to man for this film. She is awesome. And I have a rather, (well, probably because I'm nearly old enough to be his mom) motherly crush on Michael Cera. If you can count yourself among the lucky few to know the absolute genius that was Arrested Development, you know what I'm talking about. The kid is adorable yet talented, and while it seems that he's being typecast lately, I do believe he's young enough to break away from that. The quality projects that he's been involved with indicate a bright future indeed.

We went to the new Landmark in Greenwood Village, and It. Was. Awesome. Imagine a girl's night out with friends, popcorn, and gin & tonic. What in the world could be better?!?

The music-related-ness comes from the Juno soundtrack. It is awesome, check it out.



And just now I'm listening to my most recent (OK, so starting a few months ago and continuing on until NOW) musical obsession: Christian Silva. I'd actually given Christian a break for a while, but I'd had to get a review of his debut album done over the weekend (oh, oh - did I mention that it was featured?!?), and it riled my obsession up all over again. Soooooo fucking good. I even got a really nice comment about it. :)
