“and it feels so unnatural to sing your own name” heh. good one, peter. good one.
Maybe one of the most awesome covers I’ve heard in…well, maybe ever.

“Nudity, of course, is an amazingly loaded topic in the conservative cultural and political climate of the United States. Nudity is routinely equated with sex, a fact carefully and skillfully exploited by an unusual alliance of conservative politicians and the advertising industry.”

Nip/Tuck - Official Season 6 Promo - (Widescreen) (via Hutch8824)
Saw this promo for Nip/Tuck on FX. It’s a pretty cool little piece, appropriately disturbing considering the subject matter, and I think the music fits pretty well.
Then it occured to me…Kanye West’s mother died from complications from plastic surgery, didn’t she? And then they put his song in a commercial for NIP TUCK.
Life imitates art imitates life?
“You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
—Ray Bradbury (via jilllian)

Oh my. The truth is stranger than fiction.
Well, at least half the title is accurate.
Everywhere I went today, I was confronted with displays of Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak. Target, Barnes and Noble, Borders, FYE. It was always near the register, almost as an impulse buy, generally flanked by Coldplay’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and often Radiohead’s In Rainbows.
It’s Grammy season, and I totally get that. So as much as Kanye annoys me, I ignored it. It’s what the stores do, especially around the holidays, and it works (how else would I have ended up with this month’s copy of Vanity Fair with Tina Fey on the cover?)
But later, as I placed my things on the conveyor belt at Whole Foods, I was blindsided. There, by the register, next to the organic lavender hand sanitizer (true story) was a small display housing a stack of copies of 808s and Heartbreak.
Needless to say, I’m losing my faith in humanity.

Tumbled this as soon as I read it. I’m sure a thousand others have already - I haven’t even logged in yet this morning…
The beginning of the end.
