The amazing new video for the single “Stylo,” off Gorillaz’s new album, “Plastic Beach.”  Honestly, if you haven’t given a look at the brilliant artistic work of recording artist Damon Albarn (Blur) and graphic artist, Jamie Hewlett, you’re under a rock.  Their last two albums were fantastic and this new release promises to be just as good.  Guest appearances by De La Soul and Mos Def fill out this Pop, Punk, Techno, Disco compilation.  It’s bound to have you obsessed for weeks.  Check out ALL of their visually stunning videos on their youtube page here: http://www.youtube.com/user/gorillaz?blend=1&ob=4  (I recommend “Feel Good Inc.” and “El Manana”)

And of course, download their music from iTunes.

“Mess,” by Ben Folds Five.  Listen to that on repeat, if you will…

My friend Josh got a phone call yesterday from Tommy Wisseau.  His sister met Tommy at an indiana screening of Tommy’s film, “The Room.”  ”Who the fuck is Tommy Wisseau” you ask?  He’s an actor/director/writer/Korean Faux Pleather-Coat salesman who made the worst movie of all time.  How bad?  So bad, the movie, “The Room,” has actually developed a cult following across the United States and beyond.  The film is so laugh-out-loud awful, that people show up in droves to see the film in theaters 3 years after its original release.  A screening of the room is on par with a screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Here’s a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b64ZK7KDfTQ

Go see this movie!  It’s like 5 dollars on Amazon.  You’ll thank me.  Oh.  And also, listen to the voice mail.

“Waiting Line,” by Zero 7.  You’ll like this song.  So, says I.

Bed. Bath. And Far Beyond
  • Jon: Should I get the "Sage and Citrus" candle then?
  • Lori: Yes, it's the best. I love it. And typically, I don't like scents.
  • Jon: Who says that?
  • Lori: What?
  • Jon: That they don't like scents. It's like... "Oh. I don't like tastes."
  • Lori: I just don't!
  • Jon: Fine... I'll get the "Sage and Citrus" then. Should I get it in the jar or the tumbler?
  • Lori: Oh. Definitely don't get the jar. It's really hard to put your fist in it.
  • Jon: ... Do I even want to know?
Friendship
  • Jon: It's a shame you guys don't hang out more
  • Mike: Well, Jon. I'll be honest. A large part of the reason that he and I have never been close is because he doesn't like me.
  • Jon: Touche.

“Every Waking Moment,” by Citizen Cope. Great song from off the album of the same name.  If you guys haven’t listened to Citizen Cope yet, you’re really missing out.  Check him out on iTunes.

Let Down
  • Danielle: So, I hear you won a raffle at an art exhibit. What did you win?
  • Jonathan: A woman's T-shirt that says "Madrid."
