Radiohead Gets Jiggy With UNICEF

home skillets!

I would like to share something with you on behalf of the UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) corporation. They have put out a new promotional video for their new campaign called "Put it Right."
The campaign takes a five year initiative to inspire everyone to take action for the protection of children's rights.
Because, I don't know if you've noticed lately, but while were sitting at home watching our televisions and stuffing our fat faces, there are children out there that don't even have proper toilets. just lettin' ya know.

AND...  Radiohead so graciously donated their song "videotape" for the video. yay!

The video really captures the hard times that these children have to go through. No child should have to go through such shit. And I think its about time we did something about it.




and one more thing...
I saw somewhere that the video was directed to bloggers so they would get more people to watch the video (50,000 people to be exact) and check out their youtube channel.

well, i did my job..
so what are you waiting for, damn it? GO CHECK IT OUT!

thank you.


counting crows concert coming soon, i promise. i hope...

Having affairs and counting things.

so im goin to a counting crows concert on thursday. WHAT?!!! and guess what else chaps? im goin'
FO FREE. (dont ask, i just have people. ;))

surprisingly, im excited.
ahhh memories; back in 2002 (or 3?) strollin' in my car singin' "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot." again and again on mainstream radio...yeah those were the days.

apart from that; ive been quite busy with dance and decision making.


oh and sorry about that rant before, the "poet" inside of me wanted to write and for some odd reason mr. and ms. paper and pen had sprouted legs and went on a hike in the mountains. so i used da internets.

anyway, ill be sure to post some stuff from the concert...if you want. i mean, yeah i know its one of those dread-wearin lead singer, 50 different people in the group (every so many years), soundtrackin' for shrek, american bands but i suppose its good to be open minded ya know? i havent listened to them since the early 2000's so it'll be good to hear them yet again.

well, i guess i just lost quite a percentage of my readers. (and who knows how low a number that could be...)


and now its time for RECOMENDATIONS!
(oh dear.)

so if your bloody tired of itunes i think going to these two sites that amp up the underground/alternative music scene to a whole new level of wickedness might be of interest to you (you ain't gonna find any britney spears on these here sites.)

Boomkat.com
the reviews on the albums are absolutely wicked. usually you read a review and youre like "okay, yeah, thats nice..." but the exquisite wording and expressiveness in these reviews is almost scary cuz its so good. the reviews are just..captivating. am i over exaggerating? oh fuck it just go look at the site.

Bleep.com
from flying lotus to chk chk chk or urban tribe. its all up there. beats, beats, and not to mention BEATS. electronica, funk/jazz (even disco!) its all there for thou enjoyment.

and of course theres sad steve if youre broke.

i apologize if these recomendations caused anyone pain or injury.

and now i must leave you. i have quite a lot of things to do ya know. ranging from drawing horrible pictures of people who are asleep to stuffing my face with brownies and prank calling my old teachers from grade school. AHH SO MUCH TO DO!!

        until next time.

"I wanna live, breath, I wanna be part of the human race."

i dont know man.

im looking at everyone, and they all seem so happy. and content with their lives. i think about people who have died, even though they had such a legacy, even though they could only get better in life, it all came to an end. I want to know what the future brings. im lazy. i want to be one of those people who have it happen to them. whats the secret? I know what I am becoming apart of, inside. but i cant let it fall. its not falling together. i want everything to be easy but it isnt. we must become strong. we must live our lives, but not look back. we must not back down.

"I wont stop now, or the penny will drop.
I wont stop now, I wont slack off,
or all of this love will be in vain."

Nevermind.

I look at people and they are having fun. they are getting somewhere. i am working. nothing is happening. i am obsessed, but the more i obsess the less it comes to me. "let it fall, let it fall." i dont know.

im just....
 ranting...

nevermind.

itll be better next time i promise.
