i want to smash my soul on your brain.

Since the unexpected & unconventional release of Radiohead's (best album to date) In Rainbows, the blogosphere has been abuzz with music industry news, rumors, and reviews. The most recent hype seen cruising through music & tech blogs alike is comScore's claim that the "name your price" guerilla marketing technique for the sudden release of In Rainbows, was
 ineffective. Radiohead argues that comScore's data couldn't possibly be accurate.

Ho hum.
So sick of Radiohead news.


I mean, I was.
At least until today.
While conducting top secret research on last.fm, I came across their overall (SITE-WIDE) charts section where I was bombarded by the following on-screen image :

                                                                     

What the hell is this shit? Is it seriously possible that the whole In Rainbows album could dominate the TOP 10 OVERALL TRACKS on last.fm? I've never seen anything like it. Out of the 123412343241 users and the 123414624735745645325 tracks scrobbled daily, EVERY TRACK ON THE ALBUM HAS PWNED EVERY TRACK IN THE UNIVERSE. It's like In Rainbows has moved into a rent controlled apartment overlooking Central Park, and it's n ew building is called "Hit Singles are for the Birds--Wait, Actually, They're for Everyone Except Us Cause Every Track on Our Album is a Hit Single and We Have the Data to Prove it."

This video is epic. Don't know who Sparks are? Remember that movie Valley Girl from like 1983? Nicholas Cage played the sexy punk rock boy and the girl who played Dotty in Pee Wee's Big Adventure was the slutty best friend? Ok, good. So remember the part in the movie when that kid goes to this girl's house who has a crush on him, and you think he's going to return her book, but then they make it look like he's boning her mom in the shower, except it turns out that it's really the girl and not the mom? No? Well whatever, the point is that the song playing in the background during that scene is Sparks' 'Eaten By The Monster Of Love.'And it rules. They also have a song called 'Angst In My Pants,' and 'The Fanatic,' both of which also rule. Good stuff, I tell you.

Back to the matter at hand.
This is the video from the first track on their latest release, 'Lil Beethoven, which, to be honest, is not a spectacular record. But c'mon, seriously guys, how many musicians spend their entire CAREERS trying to make something sound as awesome as Sparks did with this ONE song?



About a bazillion.
And that's a fact.
Just frickin' watch it already.

Dude, daft punk seriously pisses me off. I mean, just look at this fucking picture:

Will someone please tell me what the hell this is about? They swear like it’s ok to be this cool. You know that song from Grease 2 that Michelle Pfiefer sings, about how she wants a to date a bad ass--I think it’s called “cool rider”, right—ok well Electroma ascribes a whole new meaning to the letters she sings in the chorus (C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R). Not to mention that it’s ALSO the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Ever. In fact, Daft Punk should really consider re-writing the book called “How To Be Cool”--I’d totally buy it.

Some highlights of the film are as follows:

• THE SOUNDTRACK. It’s amazing. And get this: Daft Punk isn’t even on it. And seriously, these guys actually have really good taste in music.
