Chicken Blog – #2

Another short weekly wrap up ….for all ten people who might read it.  My work/time i usually have for this type of stuff has been kinda full up lately, so I’m a little low on content at the moment.

• If you know me, you’ve no doubt heard me rave about the new album from She & Him which is a little side project for M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel.  There is a little Interview/LIve session over at NPR.org.  I would pretty much cut off a finger for Zooey, but I was always curious if they could pull of the magic voice live.  They can.
• I’m kind of indifferent to My Morning Jacket for the most part.  But I do actually like the lead singer Jim James and tend to think that he’s a pretty cool guy.  He played a little YouTube DJ over at Velocity Weekly.  Its freakin amazing.  I mean Michael Jackson, James Brown, and Prince on stage at once.  And..Prince making an entrance on the back of some crazy ass wizard or something.  Marvin Gaye and John Prine to boot.  This is NUTS!!!
• I’m not like super Weezer fan.  But come on.  This absolutely blows my mind.  Its kinda like someone going through life without running across an asshole or two that they didn’t particularly care for.  Only kinda different.  Robin Hilton over at NPR  provides my WTF flip out for the week. 
• I believe I heard this on some podcast here or there, but thanks to Whitney over at Pop Candy for reminding me.  CD’s are down, but VINYL is UP!!.  Suckers!!!
• The good people over at NextRound always deliver.  I lost a semester of my life in college to Goldeney on N64.  I’m not much of a gamer, and haven’t owned a console in over 10 years.  But I’m pretty sure I’ve been meaning to ebay this one up for a good 5 years now.  Detailed list on why you hated your friend that played with Odd Job, or maybe just about the game in general.  Also, funniest shit I’ve seen in a while.  Being trapped in a Porta-Jon would suck.
