Little Bits of Happiness:

• Elizabeth Taylor was 15 minutes late to her own funeral, per her request.
• As much a babe as David Beckham is on his own, seeing this picture & being reminded of what a stud Gaspard is is like heaven.  Make a Reggie sammich please:

Eff!

• Hearing Jeff Bridges voice on tv
• Hot tea
• My long "hospital patient" skirt.  I got it at a thrift store 3 years ago, floor length, white AND pockets. I don't know what else it would be from/for, with an "ID # ______ Official Identification Registered Status" on the front waistband lol.
• Notification from Lion Brand that my yarn is officially en route!
• Julia Roberts singing "... and your *smooch smooch smooch smooch smooch* Kiiihiiis"
• Making me want to watch her Oscar speech, which are a huge guilty pleasure anyhow, but she's absolutely hilarious and she contains one of THE BEST laughs to come out of a being!!

    Thats all for now, but these were the small things that brought a smile to my face at the moment

Thursday Fantômas

    The same year I completed my freshman year was the same year Mike Patton started the supergroup Fantômas, which is named after a French villain and consists of members from other Patton projects along with an addition from Slayer.  Waiting for this other album Mike has said would happen, we'll just have to make do with the amazingness that was released betwixt 98-05.  They're quite melodic and avant-garde, with some very slow songs that have a calming effect like the beginning of Rosemary's Baby.  Then you get very amped up, hyper loud noises that are so incredibly addicting, you have to listen to more.

Its like watching a spaghetti western..

    A quick little interview with Mike to finish off a lovely collaboration of videos.  Then I leave you with a bite from yet another band he has been with, Lovage.  Started by Dan the Automator, Mike and Jennifer Charles on vocals.  Its got a very laid back feel, I mean it is Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By...

    I bid you a good evening and remind you, tomorrow is the big day..

Peeping Tom on Hump-day.

    Amazing collaborations with all sorts of artists from Norah Jones to Massive Attack to Odd Nosdam help make up this album.  I believe the first Peeping Tom song I heard was Mojo and I was hooked, then I heard Sucker and  I just knew that Mike was yet again, a genius.  The name of band & album came from a movie called Peeping Tom, which is on instant Netflix and you should probably take a look at it.

    And currently my favorite (of the week) Peeping Tom song:

    Starting this Mike Patton week had me all excited, but I think I'm over-excited!  He's done so much and its all amazing, to only pick 5 (quite possibly 7) bands/projects is hard, because I'll hear a song by another of his bands and think "OOH! I have to do a bit on this, but blast, I only have x-amount of days".  I would like to think that everyone is a fan of at least 2 of his projects, therefore willing to give the others a chance and fall equally in like when them. 

    I would also like for someone to let me know its not absolutely ridiculous for me to find Mike extremely attractive with that hairnet on.  Wow.

    I can't help myself, so here's some more Patton candy:

and last, but not least

    Happy Wednesday to you all, hope you enjoy and have yourself a drink!

S/S 2011!!!

    I have got to say that I'm pretty damn excited about Banana Republics s/s 2011 collection!!  Because I've slacked on my fashion intake the past couple of months, I just recently saw the photos of the BR runway and fell head over heels!  Along with the lace, the long mega skirt is in this season and I couldn't be more stoked.  This is also going to help with the 3 year search for the ideal white dress!!!

    Also, here are a couple links for a better overview of the whole collection: BR in Style. & BR in Harpers.

Tuesday is for Tomahawk

    Just over 10 years ago, Tomahawk was formed.

    The group includes former and current members of  The Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Battles (<-a clue as to how I personally discovered Battles) & Melvins.  Enjoy

    I would also advise checking out the group members other bands, it'd be a good thing.

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    First, I'd like to say Happy Birthday to Matthew Broderick & Jeffrey Lynn Johnston!
 

Shake it baby now!!

    Keeping with the "M" theme, I'm going to start off with some Mike Patton.  Even more specific, Mondo Cane.  I have a thing for Mike, and last year I came upon this project he did with an orchestra and band singing Italian pop songs.  I seriously can NOT get enough of it, I actually crave it.

    With all this speak of MP, I think I'm going to dedicate the week to him and do a bit on one of his bands/projects each day :D  I just got really excited!!  I think you should be too and I'll take my thank you's in the form of high 5s and go ahead and say "Your Welcome!" now.

zuc zuc zuc zuc

    I would swoon if I ever got to see this live, just melt.  On top of having an awesome vocal range and being an incredible musical talent, the face attached to this man is great (wow, packed that sentence with compliments).  Just watching his face when her performs is entertainment enough.  There are points when he almost looks evil with his eyebrows and smile, then he'll let out that bellow "deep deep doooown" and its just great.

   The fact that he did something different from what I'm used to hearing impresses me.  I grew up loving Faith No More, then Mr Bungle, then Tomahawk, Lovage... etc., and now Mondo Cane.  Whatever the man touches:  

GOLD

    I leave you now to let your ears fall in love with some I-talian pop.  Good day to you.

PS:  Greatly amused by this-

Six; I will not stop until I succeed!

    One; I will never leave anything to chance again. Two; I will marry the girl on my motorcycle. Three; I'll be rich. Four; we'll have a house. A big house, painted yellow, with a garden. And two children, Paul and Michael. Five; I'll have a convertible. A red convertible! And a swimming pool, I'll learn to swim. Six; I will not stop until I succeed!

    -Nemo;  Mr Nobody

    Aside from the fact that you need to get a hold of this movie and watch it, I have to say that I'm pretty excited about the new show FX picked up.  Its originally (from what I've skimmed) a show from Australia I believe, it stars Elijah Wood and is called:

    I hadn't heard a thing about this until yesterday, there was a preview with Elijah in bed tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable.  Pan out and he says "get off the bed" to a man in a dog costume.  Instantly I wanted it to be June!

M'fuckin Music Monday!!!

    Not much to say, just enjoy and thank me later.  I give you:

The Silent Comedy

"Bones"

Tour Prep

    Again, your welcome & I highly advise you go see them as soon as you get the chance.  Meanwhile:

• TSC on Twitter
• TSC on Facebook

Low Budget Rules.

    I just finished watching Monsters, and I think its probably one of the better movies I've seen as of late, aside from Kings Speech & Rango.  No crazy cgi, all edited and put together by one guy (mostly) and great improve & acting by the two actors.

    

    On another note, I've been doing fairly well with my monthly resolution.  I've been working out every day for about an hour and I've just finished 2 more scarves and doing a decent job of putting a dent into my yarn stash.  I didn't get my pictures taken yet, like I had said I was going to because 1) There was no space left on my camera and never got around to taking pics off and 2) I keep telling myself "tomorrow".  So I'm hoping this weekend that I get at least a couple more items listed.

    Just the other day I remembered the Pay It Forward project that I'm doing and that I need to get myself more organized about it.  The whole thing started with a random friend of mine and seeing it posted as her status on FB, then I posted it and decided that "5 people isn't enough" and doubled my PIFs.  I have all of this year to send them something which means I shouldn't feel behind, but I do.  With my list of people, some random ideas, alls I need is to get crackin. 

    Off to watch a bad horror flick and drink coffee at 11:40pm. Good night.

Boooo. BIG FUCKIN BOO!

    I'm about to be a real pissed off lil girl if I just lost a few hundred photos due to an awesome virus.  Not a thrilled girl right now, I'm ok and it won't be the end of the world, but I'm not thrilled.
