Isn’t one Justin Bieber enough already!? Let these boys grow one armpit hair before throwing them into the claws of Hollywood.

This song is perfect for almost everything. Well, maybe not like murdering someone or choking on a hot dog but you get what I’m saying. Yay for Brett! Remember when he gave me a Father’s Day Card? Good times. NOT.

There’s a Nike store near the apartment in Tokyo, and I only noticed it because they had a giant rubber model of the Nike Free Run sole hanging from the ceiling to display it’s bendable qualities. I never gave it much thought (except OMG GIANT SNEAKER!!!) until I came across this video of Japanese breakbeat duo Hifana hooking up audio sensors to the shoes and creating this awesome music video.
Speaking of running, this was my first time in Japan that I noticed so many runners around Tokyo. The Kaigakan track was across the street from our hotel, which I thought was a feature that most cities should provide–can you imagine a sidewalk designed to be a running track for the public to use??–and almost hourly were groups of runners, making their laps around the circle. Japanese runners go all out, too. We didn’t see regular people dressed in messy shorts and old t-shirts trying to exercise those love handles off. They were decked out in lycra pants, water bottles and even backpacks. Backpacks. If I had to run with a backpack, I’d make sure it was stuffed with tissues I could use as I sobbed my way around. Sometimes we’d even see the same runners twice during our walks around, because that’s how slow we were. They’d run a quarter of a mile in the same span that we’d walk a block. Insane.
I’m going to go eat some Cheetos now.

I walked out of my class tonight into an Alex Chilton-less world and though I hadn’t thought of him in a while, I still felt a keen sense of loss. He was just one of those musicians who you knew wrote music with such brilliance but you always assumed they’d be around. I was introduced to Big Star too late, and they easily rated as one of my favorite bands to enjoy, regardless of time, place or mood. They had several of those songs that I instantly fell in love with and liked even more when I found out they were B’s personal favorites as well.
Their music was one of those things we instinctively agreed upon, despite the fact that he loved metal and I refused to let go of Weezer, and that only added to my belief that we were meant to be together. We made sure to include them on our playlist for the wedding reception, even if the songs were too low or soft to be heard over a crowd of conversations and eating. But it didn’t matter, because the songs were special to both of us. Most of the time, we’d sing along in the car or in the bathroom, making up silly replacement lyrics that made no sense. His songs made me pick up the guitar again, as if playing the notes would somehow be the easiest thing in the world for someone who gave up lessons after learning about bar chords. Of course, I put the guitar away just as fast, after realizing that finger picking the strings was harder than I thought. Fast or slow, Alex Chilton’s songwriting meant something more than what most of today’s artists can boast.
Rest in peace. You will be missed but we’ll keep your music alive, even if it’s just me in my car, butchering your beautiful lyrics.

Occasionally, B will disappear with his “guy friends” for 5 hours straight. This is what they do.
Awwww, look. It’s an actual drum set.
So far, all my requests for them to cover Alkaline Trio, Cake and Linkin Park have been ignored.

Is it just me or are they singing “Gosship Girl”? Does speaking Korean give you an American speech impediment? I know nothing about this Rainbow girl group but this whole music looks like an ad for Forever 21 and I can’t even figure out who’s who.
I also have no idea what’s going on in this video. I really thought it was 4 different girls until I realized it was the same girl with 4 different hairstyles. Does that make me racist?
Welcome to the Moyesidential Debates of 2009, where I need your help to prove that I’m really not all that lame.
So here’s the first question. What’s more embarrassing? The fact that this song used to be MY JAM in the summer of 2000 (and still is, deep down inside my heart) or that B knows pretty much all of the lyrics to 311’s songs by heart?
I say 311.
Since you guys pretty much sided with B over the pumpkin pie argument, you’ll probably agree with him again.
Leave me alone.

What’s more awesome than seeing an entire line-up of some of your favorite bands like the Gaslight Anthem and Alkaline Trio for charity?
Watching another favorite band show up on stage and play an impromptu set.
I don’t think I’ve ever been that excited at a show before. We managed to find some really awesome seats at the Key Club (where there really are no seats) so a four hour show wasn’t as uncomfortable as it could have been!
Photos after the jump.

But this song, Thought I Knew, on Weezer’s Red Album is fucking horrible.
There’s a reason why Rivers is the lead vocal in the band. There’s also a weird reason why he has a Japanese fetish but I don’t want to get into that. There’s no reason why this song should have been included on the album.
And yes, I have listened to this song more than once. I actually liked it in the beginning, but when the song comes back inside your brain with an annoying voice singing lines (SORRREEEEE) that you feel like he came up while taking a dump, then no. This is not a good song. I will say that the song starts of catchy with the guitars…until it completely degenerates into a craptastic pile of poop.
I know I’m not alone, cause check out the tag added on last.fm.
