Spoon The new Spoon CD, They Want My Soul, came out Tuesday.  I pre-ordered it through Amazon and was able to download it Monday morning.  It’s all I’ve listened to this week.  I’m just…I don’t have any words.  I’m verklempt.  Here’s a gif while you talk amongst yourselves.

Part of me wonders what my musical taste would be like if I didn’t have such hipster tendencies.  The other day, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj released a remix to Flawless and the black/gay/female Internet went nuts.  While I fit into two of those categories, I just can not bring myself to care about either of the singers.  I mean I’m all for feminism and Black women and the Internet, but I just…no.  Give me my Britt Daniel and synthesizer and my headphones and let me be.  Not that I think Beyonce is bad, I just have no desire to listen to it whatsoever. I do love to watch the Internet go nuts over it though.  Especially Kid Fury. But Spoon hasn’t had a cd out in 4 years.  And people normally make a face when I go ga ga ga ga ga over them. ( See, if you knew anything you would know that was a Spoon cd!  That I have the vinyl for on my wall.  (this was an accidental hipster purchase when I also pre-ordered that cd and got click happy and clicked LP, not CD, but I went to Hipster Paradise (read: Urban Outfitters) and got an album frame and voila.  Wall art.) I forgot my point.  Hipstershiz.       (Note: Nikka Costa’s vinyl is signed so yes it got framed)   http://youtu.be/fd6aXM8WHGw   Zombies So I am a firm believer that this serum the doctors have come up with that has done the American ebola patients so well will usher us into the zombie apocalypse.  I refuse to read what exactly happened or bone up on serum knowledge because I don’t want to bog myself down with facts.  I base A LOT of my feelings on what I read and see on movies and The Simpsons so trust me on this issue.  1. Serum.  Really?  Why not just call it a potion since you are choosing to deal in science fiction fantasy nonsense. 2.  If they had this serum why have we not used it to help fix the ebola outbreak in the first place. 3. Has no one seen:

• Outbreak
• Zombieland
• Shaun of the Dead
• Any of the Night of the Living Dead original or remakes
• That movie where Gwenyth Paltrow got everyone sick
• World War Z
• I Am Legend
• Wall*E
• The Matrix

Granted The Matrix does not directly deal with Zombies, but although zombies are getting a leg up, I firmly believe in the Robot Revolution and I need everyone to be prepared. I find it so weird that if it was 1950 and you were to talk about the future, you would think it would be bright and there would be colonies on the moon and cars would fly and everyone would have shiny PDiddy suits and you’d never have to stand in front of your closet and figure out what you were going to wear to space work.

But it’s 2014 and the future is zombies and robots taking your jobs and not learning from 100 years of film making. And still you don’t f around with serums!   Photos WordPress has created a portfolio!  While I have yet to set it up, I’m excited that it’s a thing.  For pictures and stuff.  I just hope this doesn’t result in me staying up late searching for a blog theme. Peonies are out of season, but I found some tulips at Whole Foods. And I still haven’t missed a day so far on my Project 365!!!
