Cake, the Velvet Underground and what that means to today's youth.

In yet another one of those ubiquitous hipsteriffic iPod commercials, I noticed a song I had heard before...except that I hadn't heard it before. That makes no sense, but then neither does the popularity of neon v-necks. Totally fucking baffling.

Anyway, allow me to explain:

Tell me if you can sense a similarity between this song, Short Skirt Long Jacket by Cake. (especially around the :28 second mark):



...and this song, Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground (starting at the :16 second mark):



Now, I think Cake's a rad band, so they must have done this on purpose, right?

Either way, I really hate the "stupid kids not knowing what good music is" syndrome that these sorts of things foster. I'll give you two examples of what that means:

1) My Freshman Year of college, I was listening to David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World. I asked my roommate if he knew the song and he said, and I QUOTE: "yeah, it's a shitty cover of a shitty Nirvana song". I cried for three weeks after that.
2) 2003: I put on Iggy Pop's The Idiot, and a friend who was sitting in the same room as me said, and I QUOTE: "cool! Is that the new Strokes album?" I cried for three months after that.

I guess the lesson here is that I do a lot of crying. Read the damn URL, sucker.

WEIRD INTERNET PICTURES

Found some weird crap online over the past few months. I keep telling myself that I'm going to create an epically hilarious post showcasing said crap, but instead I'll just post said crap.

So here ya go, kind reader, and I do mean reader (singular). My blog has been emptier than the mind of someone who argues against the "Mosque" "at" ground zero.

Potentially Pornographic Greeting Card: I was looking for an ecard for someone's birthday, and I reached this page. What exactly is going on in the second picture on the bottom on the right, and should I report it to the police?

Tiga Twitter: This guy makes his money writing songs that "our" presumably in the English language, but based on his Twitter page, it looks like he's speaking huhglish.

I wager that Tyga wants to leave it all in the pass.

AOL is For Perverted Old People: I know it's funny that I even still have an AOL email address anymore (I'm actually from the year 1995), but this link to an article popped up in my inbox recently. That's quite the double entendre if I've ever heard one.

I had a bra worth "splurging on" once. It didn't feel like cuddling afterwards, called me a selfish lover and made me apologize for all of the crying during sex. It left without a word in the morning, the only communication a post-it note on my door that simply read "I'm never dating a Jew again".
