I didn't mention this before, but the "VIP party with the Flaming Lips" last Friday night was really the "Expensive Southern Comfort marketing ploy where they tell you the Flaming Lips will be playing, but instead it is some ridiculously bad local band." We would have walked RIGHT OUT of there in an indignant huff, but there was free SoCo (which is the name their genious marketing people came up with to sell bourbon to the 21-35 demographic. Makes it cool, see?). Anyway, here's a shot of the godawful band.
Here's a little meme-y thing i stole from Otis' big sister's MySpace page today. Yes, I was once again trying to get dirt on people without actual human contact of any kind.
Play the home game! It's fun:
***Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle.
Say the following questions aloud, and press play.
Use the song title as the answer to the question.
How does the world see me?
Song: Ticks and Leeches
Artist: Tool
Comment: Hmm, I’ve long suspected that I might suck at life.
Will I have a happy life?
Song: Hurt
Artist: Nine Inch Nails
Comment: Ruh-roh, that doesn’t bode well.
What do my friends really think of me?
Song: More Adventurous
Artist: Rilo Kiley
Comment: My friends think I’m in a relationship with a man
who can’t commit? This one makes no sense, so I'll just arbitrarily decide that it's the song title that matters instead of the lyrics...Oh, my friends think I'm adventurous? Sweet!
Do people secretly lust after me?
Song: Smack My Bitch Up
Artist: Prodigy
Comment: I’d say that is a kinky and odd “yes.”
How can I make myself happy?
Song: Spit on a Stranger
Artist: Pavement
Comment: Is that all it takes? Nah, this song is deeper than the need to
expectorate on an unsuspecting victim, but I’m too lazy to deconstruct it right
now.
What should I do with my life?
Song: Say Hello to Heaven
Artist:
Comment: You heard the iPod. I’m giving up this life and getting myself to the
nunnery.
Why must life be so full of pain?
Song: Dark Entries
Artist: Bauhaus
Comment: I'd never read the lyrics before, but it could be right...sin, debauchery, and greed could fill life with pain. Or maybe it's the degraded lice that are painful.
Will I ever have children?
Song: Kid Gloves
Artist: Rush
Comment: Well, it has the word “kid” in it, but “glove” could be a condom. So it really doesn’t give me much insight. Lyrics-wise, it just sounds like if I had a kid he'd be picked on a lot. Shocker there.
Will I die happy?
Song: Bye Bye Blackbird
Artist: Miles Davis
Comment: I think this a great one… “Pack
up all my care and woe, here I go, singing low: bye bye blackbird.”
What is some good advice for me?
Song: Smoke Two Joints
Artist: Sublime
Comment: Maybe then I could understand what Louie-dog has been
trying to tell me all these years.
What is happiness?
Song: Chocolate (ps- I accidentally hit the button twice, and it skipped to “Coin-Operated
Boy” by Dresden Dolls. har har)
Artist: Snow Patrol
Comment: That simple, eh? I guess I’ve been looking too hard for happiness,
when in reality it is but a Toblerone away.
What's my favorite fetish?
Song: Beds are Burning (I was afeared it was going to be "Borg Sex" by Satriani)
Artist: Midnight Oil
Comment: Evidently I’m some kind of freaky pyro.
How will I be remembered?
Song: Queen Bitch
Artist: David Bowie
Comments: I can live with that.
My sister has a myspace page?? OMG I really am a horrible sis.
