Listen! With Tabs!!

I think this is their best song yet. I’m thinking it’s their “Lost My Music,” a song I first dismiss but then absolutely love. It also helps that it’s easier to play on a guitar than any of their other songs. O, Mio, why must you write such cheese ball fun songs?

Oscar Pool Ballots

I think I’ve closed the google form, here’s the link to the
final submissions. It’s what I’ll be using to tally up the scores. And it looks like I’m gonna have to start putting your names in the hat because they all look the same.

So who’s live blogging this? Or better yet, who’s hosting the live chat? And if you join twitter you may see some of my own bitter tweets.

UPDATE 9:46 PM EST
I forgot to add that I don’t actually win if I do get the most points.

The count so far:


UPDATE 10:03 PM EST
I’m building a lead! Suckers! :p

UPDATE 10:30 PM EST
Heh heh Hurt Locker winning sound!

UPDATE 10:38 PM EST

UPDATE 11:12 PM EST
The Hurt Locker is looking to be the winner of the night! But its gonna come down the the foreign picture to make or break the Oscar Pool.

UPDATE 11:19 PM EST
It looks as if the two time defending champion, riss, has been dethroned. I believe that it is the Wyman who may take her crown. But we still have to do the tabulating of results.

UPDATE 11:50 PM EST
Sandra Bullock looks to give Jeremy Benthem the winning hand.

UPDATE 11:56 PM EST
And it looks to be Jeremy Benthem’s! Unless he gets shot…

Link of the Day [2.26.10]

Did you know that Akira Kurosawa would’ve been 100 years old this year if he had lived? I didn’t.

The best way to celebrate is to watch one of his films. There are many to see. You could spend a month. So why don’t you?

TCM is honoring this illustrious director by showcasing his films all March. Every Tuesday evening a veratible smorgasbord of awesome is being shown. I know you have it on DVD or BluRay, but watching on TCM is great. You’ll get a running commentary before each film. You’ll do your own running commentary.

The Blue Hearts “Owaranai Uta”

broderic on February 19, 2010

1st verse:
owaranai uta wo utao
kuso dare no sekai no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
subete no kuso tomo no tameni
owaranai uta wo utao
boku ya kimi ya karera no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
ashita ni wa waraeru you ni

tranlation:
lets sing an endless song
for all the shit in the world
lets sing an endless song
everything is for the shit and all the followers
lets sing an endless song
for me,you and them
lets sing an endless song
as if we “make fun” about tommorow “laughing”

Endless

You’ll hear it all week!

No idea who this is doing the cover, but I had to include it just for spits and jiggles. If you have more familiarity with j-rock or j-pop, let me know so I can torrent their albums…

Owaranai Uta

broderic on February 17, 2010

The ending credits to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” had this run immediately after the end of the movie, but not before the crawl.

This song rocks. You’ll hear this all week….

An Endless Song

broderic on February 16, 2010

The ending to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” Exactly like “Lost My Music” from Live Alive. Another cover of The Blue Hearts. This one is “An Endless Song,” “Owaranai Uta.”

It’ll keep going and rocking in your head all week long…
