A Big Fat Waste of Time

These Are People Who died

Well, we're 8 months into 2009 and hardly anyone who was really famous when I was a kid is left standing. Let's take a look back at who we've lost so far:

I'm back in New York for a few weeks. Here are some pics from around town.

What I'm Listening To

Christopher Walken And I Were Separated At Birth

"I love spaghetti. And I like to cook spaghetti. And I used to eat it every day. I weighed thirty pounds more than I do now. You can’t — you can’t do that."

My New Favorite Song Of The Week: "The Snow" By The Eastern Sea

Heard this on the radio yesterday. It's by an Austin band called The Eastern Sea and it's just kinda sublime.

"La Cumbia Del Rio" Brings Cumbia And Dixieland Together

"La Cumbia del Rio" is by Los Pikadientes de Caborca, (Which is a name that deserves its own blog post, I think.), who hail from the Mexican state of Sonora. Their music reflects a sense of humor that is a requirement of Mexicanos these days. (Another one of their songs, "I Love You Te Amo," contains the lyric, "I love you mucho! Un chingo!") The album this is off of, Vámonos Pa'l Rio got a Grammy nod this year. Visit them on MySpace for more good times.

And so begins a new era.

One Of The Craziest Videos I've Ever Seen: "Gorbachov" From ANJ

I don't even like this song, but this video is amazing.
