Dizzee Rascal - P*ssyhole, Lily Allen- Smile (mark ronson remix), El Perro Del Mar (video), more
- Sorry for the extreme lull in posting.  Deovting time to super-sick cancer patients superseded blogging activities.  But I'm back now.  It's not a coincidence that as the weather is starting to warm up, the concert schedule in Chicago is heating up as well.  I am desperately trying to find tix for Neko Case and Matt Pond PA tonight.  Time to scour craigslist.
 -  Fader seems to be the only legit place to hear Dizzee Rascal's tactfully titled "
 P*ssyhole".  Everyone else has been hated on with a DMCA notice, so no, I'm not going there.  The early refrain goes "Don't let me get old school"; I guess he means like pre-feminism.   I am feelin' the re-worked Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock beat though.  Hint: If you view the page source for the above link, you can figure out how to download the file.  No luck with hype machine?  You can try technorati. - A laid-back, summery re-interpretation of Lily Allen's Smile: 
 Lily Allen featuring Wale - Smile (mark ronson DC remix) 
 El Perro Del Mar - I Found a Reason
If you love the Velvet Underground as much I do, you might enjoy this lovely cover from El Perro Del Mar.- New Deerhoof video! 
 Deerhoof - The Perfect Me (video) - My favorite Magnetic Fields song further solidifies its #1 position: I Guess I'm Floating has Arcade Fire's cover of Born on a Train.  I very much prefer the original, but this isn't bad.
 - The 10 Most Magnificent Trees in the World.
Really, it's a lot more interesting than you'd think. - Incubus
The second feature-length film filmed in Esperanto, and starring William Shatner! Thought to be destroyed, a copy re-emerged (to the chagrin of all involved) and has now been re-released. - Some 7 Elevens will change into real Kwik-E-Marts for the Simpsons movie.  Pretty clever tie-in.

 - Goldfish live in a deep fat fryer
What will those wacky Japanese think of next? - How do you get from NY to Dublin?
