the hell? When did Linkin Park get awesome?




I mean, I loved them when I was thirteen, but they've been dead to me for years.  Especially after "Minutes to Midnight".

Nice to hear an actually decent tune from them.  Enjoy.

Randall Munroe is a genius.

Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

So if you haven't heard about the Rally to Restore Sanity yet, here you go: rallytorestoresanity.com

I really want to go to this thing.  Too bad I live almost 10 hours away..

But I've loved keeping up with this shit.  It's refreshing.  It might have comedic overtones, but this is getting serious coverage.  Stewart and Colbert know what they're doing, too.  I'd say they're sincerely interested in trying to change the way politics works, or at least toning it down a bit.



By the way.  Oprah was on the Daily Show.  nbd or anything. Oprah-Daily Show Clip

Obama's scheduled to appear on the Show the 27th.  You know, still nbd. "Pres. Obama Scheduled to Appear on Daily Show"

So, if you're in the vicinity of D.C., I encourage you to go to this.

Alright, feedback is appreciated!

Learning Piano to Get Laid


Bo Burnham - Words Words Words

Alright, so I loved Bo Burnham back in the day.  You actually had to think about his songs to get the depth he was going for.  Yeah, that "depth" was eventually discovering the complex puns he used for "vagina" but dammit, it's good shit.

Now he's out with his second album.  I just listened to it.  It's a little awkward in the beginning, but there's some good material on here.

My personal favorite as of now is "Art is Dead".  It's the first time I've ever heard some real honesty from this dude.  You can tell that wasn't an act.

Here's the torrent for the album: Bo Burnham's Words Words Words (btjunkie)

I suggest you listen.  If you don't want to listen to all of it, just start at "A Prayer/How Do We Fix Africa?".

But alright, here's his new "single".  Enjoy.

Back from College Visits

Okay guys, sorry I've been away for so long.  I've been on a college trip this past week/end.  Yeah, I'm a lowly pre-frosh.

Which I guess leads me to the question, what college do you go to?  Do you like it?

I've been visiting places like Washington University in St.Louis, UPenn, Miami University (Ohio), Johns Hopkins.. etc etc.

I'm hoping to major in Business/Finance.. maybe minor in Comp. Sci..


But yeah, I just visited Wash U in St.Louis this weekend.  Pretty damn nice school.  Got to hang with some old friends who go there.  I can't wait for college.  I'll be getting back into the groove of posting and browsing others' blogs.  See you around.
