The bitches of PFoH...

...wish you a very uncomfortable, slightly awkward, somehow cuddly, 2-headed Valentine's Day.

the dark wizard of egypt

I was gone. Now Im back and Im back with some Michael Jackson videos. I watched these videos around 200 times when I was a kid. My friend Robbie had a copy of Moonwalker and whenever I would go to his house we would watch it and play street fighter 2. Anyways I've been super sick for the past few days and I had a sick dream about a bunny bound in leather. Weird.

pt. 2


I also have been listening to a lot of hot chip over the past few days. Their new album Made in the Dark dropped a few days ago and there are a few quality tracks. I also have been going back in time to check out Coming on Strong. Here are a few tracks for you to oogle over.

You Ride, We Ride, In My Ride - Hot Chip

Destination Love pt. 1: 'We can't be contained, baby. It's you + I vs. the world!'

For the sake of the unavoidable indulgence of the love coming up (& the important face that dark chocolate is involved!) It's probably not a shock to anyone that valentine's day irritates me almost as much as...well..that junior high punk kid walking down my street that just threw a styrofoam container full of of old burrito on my front lawn. damn hooligans! I wonder how awkward & uncomfortable their valentine's day will be; a potentially traumatizing junior high date, for sure. That's how 8th grade always is.



If I was back in eighth grade, knowing what I know now, I probably would have made the educated decision to take my "valentine" to see The Make-Up!'s brilliant, revolutionary, ass-swervin' live show. Primarily because they are now defuncted & are known to perform like masters, but they also only ever played shows that were all-ages. & though they are gone, their gospel yeh-yeh style lives on!

Bike-Lash

Seriously, $140 for running a stop sign? What happened to girls on cute bikes being exempt from ridiculous fines?

Let's Get Hooked on High Places

Here are a few reasons to love High Places:

1. They sound like a timecapsule of tribal music got thrown into outerspace and turned into awesome electronic indie music. And then they made an alien with a beautiful voice sing along.
2. They write about ultimate human questions and package them in satisfyingly sing-song lyrics. In "Cosmonaut": "I've read a lot of books about the future of the sun and how my great great great great grandfather might've been a monkey's son"
3. They're "putting the cat back in catastrophe"
4. Their myspace says they sound like two dads hanging out.

An update on the magic of horses

Or, a message from the Matriarch.

Pocket Full of Horses the radio show is going amazing. For those of you who are too embarrassed to admit that you couldn't listen because the website's down, I have a special surprise for you: You CAN listen, and eat your cereal too! Go to streaming.kzsc.org and you can hear the fabulous voices of the terrible CH twosome. Next week there might be a guest appearance by Christopher's midi keyboard, meaning that listeners will no longer have to hear me try to make up diddles (?) with my voice. Also, we're looking for artists who might want to perform on-air with us, so if you know of anyone, you know who to contact (me: yogurtdestiny@yahoo.com)

Because you're already tired of Kimya

Admit it. You listened to the Juno soundtrack once, maybe twice, maybe three times all the way through and you loved it. And then it got old.

So to fill the hollow with more cute low-fi songs by a girl with an adorable voice, here's SoKo. Plus, SoKo will one up your Kimya by being French and beautiful. Unfortunately, her only release is an EP called "Not Sokute" (as if ironically proving the point) which doesn't have her best work on it. Fortunately, you can listen to a bunch of other songs on her myspace that actually play consecutively. You'll fall in love with her when she tells you she wants to look like a tiger with a tail (not a kitten) and when she sings "I will never love you more than Daniel Johnston". Seriously, this girl is amazing.

Here's her current hit called I'll Kill Her. (you can download it, really, if you click the link. You can also watch her sing it like here.) But really, you should just go to her Myspace instead.


And I really need to learn how to write songs.

drums are never dead

There's not much to say about this flawless display of indisputable cuteness coupled with gold chains. Nothing else could be more perfect to filter through this blog. No matter how much you've already heard of Liars, you haven't heard anything like their new self-titled release. Just get your asses to Slim's in San Francisco this Friday & check der style out!

Liars - Houseclouds

Tune in!

I just got a new radio show and I think this one is going to go beyond excellent. Two awesome DJs, one awesome name: Pocket Full of Horses. First day is this Monday, 4-6pm and I'll be on every week, same time after that. I suggest you listen if you want to hear some really awesome new music or if you have a friend crush on me or if you're just super cool and want to support non-profit radio. Tune in to 88.1fm or go to the KZSC website to stream the show online. Also, call in. Because I love you.

S is for super, E is for exotic

Fergie is so far from fresh I'd throw her in a day-old bag. Here's where she stole her hook for Fergalicious. This is delicious and joins the rank of L'Trimm as being an awesome all-girl hip-hop group from the late 80s/early 90s. This is J.J. Fad (Just jammin' fresh and def) with "Supersonic".
