Best of '08

Maddie's Favourites from 2008! (i can vouch for that...minus #3)

1. The Jonas Brothers - obvi but not as much Kevin. poor sap

2. Twilight - I read it FASTER than Harry Potter! Not Possible!? Impossible! Harry is illiterate!

3. 30 Rock - Best comedy since Arrested Development in my opinion, even though Kim hates it :( It's true, i just can't STAND that show...but check out Summer Heights High (an awwesome Aussie show) or Ab Fab (British hilarity)!

4. Chuck Bass - Gossip Girl's scheming lothario. Ed Westwick, master of the dark arts

5. Robert Pattinson's Hair - his wavy locks match the color of Edward Cullen's eyes (err..twighlight reference..) until he cut it...I still prefer Jackson Rathbone

6. Circus - NOT Barnum and Bailey, but Britney Spear's comeback album that shrieks in pop ecstasy! not lil' wayne? what happened here?

7. Paul Rust - http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/1634cf5f0f/idiot-authors-writing-tips-from-paul-rust Paul's live music and his dancing take the cake. He sounds like the lead singer of Hello Goodbye just a tad. Adorrrable man!

8. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer - I Loved them before '08, and I'll never stop. "Just Two Guys" "jizz in my pants" "dick in a box" "the 'bu" "HOTROD" I want to marry all three! Ditto. You named quite a few Lonely Island gems. This is probably what makes us such good friends.


I can't think of anything else, and I need to watch BROMANCE! Can't Think?! Never! Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Marley and Me, Hotel for Dogs, Bolt, and every dog movie that recently came out in the past MONTH. 2008 marked the Year of the Dogs...plus it is when i created the memorable dog-call whilst wreaking party havoc...."DAAAAWWWGG!!!"

peas bumble bees ..the bird is still the word.
Madison. & Kimberley!

What's on Your Radio?

This is the offish radio post. Anytime we hear a good song, we'll post it HERE!

If you wanna sing out, sing out


Kimberley: Dec 27 08/ Blondie: "Heart of Glass". It reminded me of Of Montreal's "Wraith..."

christmas punch

This one's on us!

Merry Christmas Scrooge McDuck, (now you can jump into a large mountain of gold coins!)
Happy Hannukkah Jon Lovitz! (or Adam Sandler, just in time for "Bedtime stories")

I was youtub-ing the perfect video to send to a sexy friend in celebration of XMAS (aka The Little Drummer Boy video) and stumbled upon this little nugget of genius (did you give this to bitty! she collects nuggets).

If you're not familiar, the song is from Broadway's Avenue Q and the video is from Rankin/Bass' 1964 classic stop-motion tv special- i just love stop motion/claymation (me and lexi watched rudolph saves frosty with the help of jack frost on stop animation yesterday) .

In otherwords, it is a gift that can be regifted...more timeless than a diamond, Our present to you so... PASS IT ON.



Spiced Eggnog is gross,

PUTS

This post is a bit more PG-13, kids, be forewarned. (if you can't handle rap, you can't handle this)

...can you kick it?? yes? YES you can?! Ladies and gents, put your paws up for PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS!


About three days ago, December 19th to be exact, underground hiphop G's Thes One and Double K of PUTS (peeps under stairs) rampaged on stage at the El Rey.

With Cut Chemist (Trivia: did you know that cut chemist, aka Lucas MacFadden, played the chemistry teacher in JUNO?), Ugly Duckling, & DJ Mark Luv on the lineup (subpar performances on all parties), L.A. rap (statistically targeting middle-class white fans)(white people LOVE rap music. According to "Stuff white people like" AKA my biography!) afficionados gathered round to appreciate/witness the prominent beat-droppers take hits (literally) on stage and play their chronology of song steppin' underground success.

It was long waiting for Cut Chemist to finish his set- doors opened at 830, PUTS (puts puts puts puts do you have it?) went on from 12-2ish-but plenty of time to hound down some booze and light up a joint, if you're into that sort of thing.

When lights dimmed, the curtains closed and reopened to reveal the drizzastic duo alongside random kids crackin' it up on stage to hype the already influence-induced crowd. The random accompaniment of stage-clan fans were sort of too much 'show' for the show, throwing both fries and people into the lack-of-moshing mosh.

Nonetheless, PUTS as anticipated Put-out for their fans as heads bopped, bodies jumped, & smoke filtered through the air.. the whole nine yds.

Samberg would say that This is an irresistible Raaap song (Raap song raap song dropping ones and fives and even TWOS!). Many blazed and enjoyed their ganja to said tune.This is probably one of their better-known ones:

Say What??:

My nigga Spliff was sippin' Becks, I'm slappin hands with Thes
Ok the shady spot so we can circulate the stress
Mary Jane invades my brain now I can't complain
I'm sayin what else is there to do besides relax
Let the problems in your mind become ancient artifacts
Perhaps these raps can help you alleviate
The things that's got you trippin, yo watch me demonstrate
First you ignore the nonsense and clear your conscience
Let your pen touch the paper write verbs and consonants
As the words become a sentence you start to feel indifferent
The stress is out your mind you feel like the weight was lifted
Terrific I'm glad we had this time to discuss
I'm outro call me if you want to blaze one up (uggg i hate weed songs)

Welcome to the applewagon marley!

A couple weeks ago I was stalking some semi-famous people on facebook and I came across the facebook profiles of the less-impressive cast members of SNL (fred armisen, jason sudeikis etc) and I decided to add them as friends i tried to friend david maklovitch of Chromeo. They still haven't added me back however. This brings me to the topic of todays blog.

5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SEE TWILIGHT EVEN IF YOU NEVER READ THE BOOKS OR THINK ITS GOING TO SUCK OR SOME OTHER REASON THAT IS KEEPING YOU FROM SEEING IT:

1. ROBERT PATTINSON: This is really a no-brainer. EVERY girl, and I mean EVERY girl had a crush on him when he played CEDRIC DIGGORY in Harry Potter drool worthy. Even the select few of us who lusted after Rupert Grint changed our minds and fell for the model-cherub-boy-wonder. He's practically Zac Efron 2.0 personally, i think Jasper (jackson rathbone) is much hotter. i'd doubletap that

2. So you can tell everyone how much you disliked Kristin Stewart:
As much as people cry themselves to sleep over Rob Pattinson, they equally loathe Kristin Stewart. She was that annoying hippie in INTO THE WILD, Jodie Fosters daughter in PANIC ROOM, and if you are as creepy as I am then you remember when she was in CATCH THAT KID with Corbin Bleu. Basically, she plays that same offputting, im so arogant, im squinting my eyes cuz I'm an actor, I was never on the disney channel - thing in every movie! It's horribly unbearable to watch on screen. You need to see twilight so when you complain about her, it's justified. you will especially hate her when rpatz pins her down on a boulder ever-so seductively

3. IT'S FUNNY:
It's funny because I don't think it EVER intended to be at all humerous. There are so many close up's of furrowing brows, exclamations of love (i.e. "You are my life now Bella" "you're like my own personal brand of heroin"), candid highschool dialgoue ("Hey Bella how do my boobs look in this dress?") etc etc. It takes itself so seriously. It's probably funnier than MARLEY AND ME, so see twilight instead. "wh-wha-what? nn noo, you..you..cccan't..luhluhleave me."

4. What other movie are you going to see instead?
REally? WHat are you going to see other than twilight? THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL? hardly. 4 CHRISTMASES? nix. What about one of those "oscar" films? MILK, GRAN TORINO, THE WRESTLER? psh. wasteful to see anything other than TWILIGHT. Bolt is always an option...

5. There are 3 more films in the franchise to be made:
If you don't see twilight you will be out of the pop culture loop for the NEXT 3 YEARS as they release the next three book-to-screen adaptations. If you don't see this movie you will be so confused why bella is upset in NEW MOON, or what's wrong with Jacob in ECLIPSE, or how it ends in BREAKING DAWN. You won't see Twilight, and then you wont see any of the future installments and then when everyone at work is standing around the water cooler and talking about that "vampire movie" you wont have anything to contribute. "how's life Fred?" "oh..it's you know, same ol. i've got the wife on my back about the kids, you know how it goes" (mutual cheesy laughter) "And there's nothing worse than not being able to make references to pop culture with your co-workers. "so, (insert your name here) what did you think of that new teen-movie Twilight? Fred and I just loved the realism. the acting was so believable." "It's definitely going to win multiple Golden Globe awards. So what did you think (insert your name here)? It's really the only thing you have in common with them anyways.

Celebrate christmas break by watching a really bad movie starring really hot vampires. It's the best $12 + popcorn, you will ever waste. taste.

Baby it's cold outside, grab yourself a cup of folgers, the best part of waking up!
