high life part two...

he's the hippest guy we know and he's dialed into the scene like no other. ladies and gentlemen, the weekly high life music update:

With The Cure in town on Saturday (well, Randall's Island) with Interpol, The Rapture, and Mogwai this weekend I wish I could list off a hot new goth jam from their latest. While it's not bad, it's no Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

That said, here's this week's installment:

The Walkmen - The Rat. Off their sophomore effort Bows & Arrows. This band should get the ink wasted on Interpol and The Rapture. It's not Brittany's "Toxic", but it is one of the best songs of the year.

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free. I know so little about hip-hop, but this album is unbelievable. Mike Skinner drops a "day in the life" concept album about losing $1000, drugs, getting a girl, getting dumped, and video games. Buyer beware - he's white and British.

And of course, one from the vault - The Cure's Just Like Heaven (1987) off the above-mentioned album. There are 30 better Cure songs, but this really is the perfect pop song. How many high school freshmen's mix tapes do you think this song has graced?

also known as:

sven-deezy's gaming tip of the day...

today's subject: big buck hunter

hunt-hunt and more hunt...the name of the game is to stay focused. true gaming is all about true focus... no distractions such as yelling SHOT at the top of your lungs.

the deer/game that run in the foreground might as well be red herrings, your best shot is to go for the animals behind all the trees and brush and shit, they're more points and give the avid sportsman that much more gratification when they're taken down.

checkmate!

SLIDELL, La. - An argument over a game of chess ended with a fight in which one player rammed the other's head through a plate-glass window, St. Tammany Parish authorities said.

Robert Talley, 34, was booked with second-degree battery and later released on bond, Sheriff's department spokesman James Hartman said.

Robert Henderson, 42, emerged from the broken window with several serious lacerations, deputies said. He was released after treatment at Northshore Regional Medical Center, Hartman said.

The fight occurred about 1 a.m. Sunday at Talley's house, which is about five miles from Henderson's.

"My next point will be so cogent that even you will be able to understand it."

is this worth $44?

you'd probably get more entertainment out of the video game than the pay per view fight.

living the high life in brooklyn...

our first entry from our hipster in residence (he lives in brooklyn, no big whoop). it's gonna be crappy this weekend so download away:

Loretta Lynn's "Miss Being a Mrs. Tonight" - from her Jack White produced "Van Lear Rose". Heartbreak at its finest.

Wilco's "Kicking Television" - Itunes scam, album only crap. Worth tracking down on P2P. Throw back to The Stooges, MC5, and, um, Television.

And one from the Vault - The Cars self-titled debut (1978). From the opening lines of "Let the Good Times Roll" through "You're All I've Got Tonight"this is New Wave at its finest. Julian Casablancas has nothing on Ric Ocasek. Easy to find on CD, but I would recommend tracking down the vinyl. Your older sister probably has it stashed at your parents' place.

we all know that barry beck is our hocky guru, but maybe andre the giant can offer some dating tips?
