Couldn't have said it better, Mick.



Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, you can lean on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, you can lean on me

She said, "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"

Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, baby, well you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on
And if you want to, well you can cream on me

I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea
But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded, faded, junky nurse
Oh what pleasant company

We all need someone we can feed on
And if you want it, well you can feed on me
Take my arm, take my leg, oh baby don't you take my head?

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah, and if you want it, baby, well you can bleed on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah, yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don'cha bleed on me
All over

Ahh, bleed it alright, bleed it alright, bleed it alright
You can bleed all over me
bleed it alright, bleed it alright, bleed it alright
You can cum all over me

Foo Fighters Reunite, Krist Novoselic Joins the Band

In what will be the closest thing to a Nirvana reunion since 1994, Krist Novoselic will join his old bandmate Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters as bassist. If that's not enough, the Foo Fighters' next album is being helmed by Nevermind producer and ex-Garbage drummer, Butch Vig.

The Foo Fighters album, their first since 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace is due out next year. Coincidentally, 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, a fact that is surely not lost on Grohl and Novoselic.

Of course, with Novoselic playing bass now, what happens to Nate Mendel, the band's current and original bassist? Currently, there's no word that Mendel is officially out of the band, and he's been busy over the last year playing with his old band, Sunny Day Real Estate. However, not everyone is obsessed with the fate of 90s emo-rock legends, and for those who don't care and just want to hear more about the new record, Grohl says, "Foo Fighter fans are going to freak out because, honestly, it's awesome." [Billboard]

Update: Novoselic will be only "guesting" on bass for the new album. There is no word yet as to how many tracks he will be on. Mendel will continue with the Foos.

Neva gunna



Oregon University Acapella Group "Rick Roll's" an NYC subway. Probably my favorite part of this video is trying to figure out if they are deliberately trying to look nonchalant or if random people on the subway are joining in as well.

Jump Into the River

Kid Sam - We're Mostly Made of Water (Dir. Sherwin Akbarzadeh) from Sherwin Akbarzadeh on Vimeo.


The reason I am drawn to this video is because it depicts the magic of everyday life. As the viewer, you are watching these two human beings aimlessly walking through what seems like a common neighborhood. You start to guess when and if they will cross paths and the suspense you create for yourself is very intriguing, at least it was for me. When finally, you see on either side of the split screen, a common gray house, you start to feel excited for what comes next, where is the music video magic of two humans meeting on the sidewalk and falling in love? You have been waiting for this moment for a whole two minutes. And finally, they simply pass each other. Not a glance, not a pause, just each one keeping to their side of the sidewalk. Wow. This happens everyday and yet, without the music, without the split screen, without the view from both sides of the pathway, no one notices the magic, the mystic, the pure innocence of human beings sharing a space on the planet. Why does it take music for some people to realize how truly moving and beautiful ALL aspects and moments in life are? Maybe that is why music is such a powerful tool for living. We cope through music, celebrate through music, embrace through music, and simply live with music in our ears constantly. You can't walk ten steps on this campus without seeing someone with some sort of MP3 player streaming their personal soundtrack for the day into their ears. We have become a society of hopefuls, wishing our lives were like the movies in that, we need music, we need "movie moments". But a primary goal of movies has always been to recreate true life, to depict how "real" people, real humans live their lives. When did the shift happen when the real people wish their lives were more like the ones in the movies?

That vest is disgusting!

Although I'm not a fan of his fashion choices in this piece, I have to admit, this song is pretty great.

This made me cry from laughing. And yes, I'm a little obsessed with Jersey Shore too.

Ólafur Arnalds - Ljósið (Official Music Video) from Erased Tapes on Vimeo.

This video straight up hypnotized me. It's called "Gentle Fireworks". Very neoclassical, very cool.
