Friday. Around the Interwebs.

Its Spring. So baby lets get married.



Make sure you pic a good mate.



Protect yourself from the bird flu.



Take some good pics of the groom's party. Bro's 4 lyfe.





Make sure you remember to invite your secret ninja cousin.



And your favorite pet.



And those kids you met while at Harry Potter summer camp



Probably most importantly: decide if you want a theme wedding.



And your wedding song:



And finally, make sure those relatives go out of control.

HAPPY FRIDAY FOLKS

Darn I Missed Them: Two Door Cinema Club

We're the coolest people you've ever met on the internet. We know this. We are electrobitches. But even we can't do every drug, make out with every lead singer, see every show. So now we will present, whenever we feel like it, Darn I Missed Them, a collection of bands who played in the District without us being there.

Bright, shiny electro with an ever so slight afropop influence, Two Door Cinema Club* played in DC recently, opening for Phoenix at the DAR. Since Phoenix has been sold out since the dawn of time, I missed them. But try to listen to this and not smile.

*what a great name, am I right?

Brazil on my Mind

I am obsessed. It's official. I can't decide if it's because Portuguese is such a sexy language or because Brazilians are so freaking weird. I have an inkling it's a little of both, but mostly the latter. Case in point: CSS' blog.

If you want a daily dose of weird that's the place to go. I honestly think it's weird in a good way. I especially like Lovefoxxx's (of course) posts. This one about the suitcase gets me every time.

OK, forget all of the above babble. That was really just a tangent I swerved off on. The real reason I'm writing is because I found the song "Pela'o" (Crookers Remix) by Isa and a video to match. It's pretty good. I really only like it because it's Brazilian. You can judge for yourself too.

(Another side note: I found it by going to Marina Gasolina's blog from CSS'...and now it's more obvious how my brain works. What's on my mindgrapes!)

Vintage blogs 4 U

A history lesson: blogs back in time

These savvy magoos didn't let their lack of internet keep THEM from expressing their creativity. Media, or, the ways in which people got their info back then, were often called:

1) TV shows

2) "Magazines"

3) Radio

4) Glenn Danzig

+ A clip from "Flashez", a teen-oriented TV show which aired in Australia from 1976-1977. Old-time wannabe blogger interviewing the infamous creators of Punk Magazine-- Legs McNeil & John Holmstrom.

discovered at Aquarium Drunkard

+ Another wannabe blogger, Glenn Danzig, who is not famous for anything besides trying to get famous on the Weblogs. He tried hard but the internet simply did not exist back then! Here he is doing a sort of "book-blog" entry:

+Best for last: A maybe-stoned Patti Smith & some of her posse goofing around and bothering the crap out of a German interviewer from Rockpalast:

Mid Week 80's - Grace Jones

Uploaded by Grace-Jones. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.



I think its about time we posted Grace Jones for Retro Wednesdays. She is awesome and owns her stuff, and if anyone has an electrobitch attitude, it would be Grace Jones. Even at her age now she is still looking fierce and kicking ass.

This video is from 1985. Mid-80s for our mid-week 80's fix. Win.

The Twelves Rule My World

The Twelves make my days better. Specifically, my work days. Lately I have been listening to their BBC1 Essential Mix to make my work load more bearable. So far it not only makes my work day bearable, but also much more dance worthy (Life as a Remix instead of a Musical?). I dare you to put this on and not move. Cubicles beware around the 33, 40, and 70 minute mark.

Also a heads up: The Twelves will be gracing the infamous NYC Santos Party House with their presence on Thursday, April 29. I want you to be there so bad.

LCD Soundsystem Being Remixed Already

You know things have gotten epic for LCD Soundsystem if they haven't even released their newest album in its entirety and one of its songs has already been remixed. It's especially epic if the mix is good. Behold:

LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls (Holy Ghost! Remix)

Born Free Video

The other day I posted the new single Born Free from M.I.A., well here is the video.

There is some violence and drug use, sex and nudity.

Holy crap. She is sending a message. A ginger - filled message.

A war on wrangers.

The album is what you would expect from the gang, and I'm excited to sink my teeth into the new jams. So enjoy.
