Kid Sister - Daydreaming


so apparently this song beat out Santigold's Lights Out as the official song to soundtrack the national campaign for Bud Light Lime.

if i gave a shit about that, i wouldnt have posted it-- i'm posting it cuz it's dope.

Hey Ocean! - Too Soon


Cool video my cousin sent me.

Chiddy Bang - Dream Chasin'


Chiddy Bang is the perfect mix of rap and pop, like a crossword and a playground.

Tokyo Police Club - "Wait Up (Boots of Danger)"

i like this video. it's cute... because of the dogs.

Ke$ha + Katy Perry - Tik Tok California Gurls (DJplaceboing Mashup)






















you know it was bound to happen eventually... the songs are almost identical. well, one's a whore.

Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi

so my friend Nader sent me this video and I cant stop listening to it!


I'd heard of Kid Sister before (she came to NXNE this year) but i wasnt familiar with any of her songs. so thanks to my friend that is now different, and i feel like this song is a great introduction.

great to dance to!

who likes Miike Snow and likes to dance?






















then check this remix out



and here's the original version of the Crookers cut:


lastly, here's another fun one:


thursday the twenty-second






studded.














yes.

cool wallpapers

been searching for a few nifty 'PEGs to spice up your desktop? here are a few:







Married to the Sea












Married to the Sea is an absolutely hilarious webcomic where they take old graphics (15th century engravings, or 1950s household propaganda) and put funny captions on them.














The result is hilarity, although at times it's hit-and-miss. Keep in mind that this husband and wife team (responsible for two other webcomics as well: Toothpaste for Dinner and Natalie Dee, respectively) update every day.















it's good for a once-every-two-weeks checkup to scroll through the images and have a laugh.























some of them are very non-sequitur, some are political.






















I'll tell you what one's my favourite, this one:


















which also just so happens to come as a t-shirt. once again, birthday present?

so M.I.A.'s third studio album /\/\/\Y/\ (why do i even bother typing it out like this? just spell it MAYA, gawd) is out.

honestly, i'm not digging her new stuff. i mean "Boyz" can and always will make me dance my ass off, but something about her new stuff is too harsh (i wanna say violent?) for me.

anyway here's a clip of her on Letterman. watch till the end to see gollum get really angry with a keyboard:















i'm excited for this new film, Welcome to the Rileys; it premiered at Sundance and stars Melissa Leo, James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart.

The trailer looks good.

i actually think that Kristen Stewart is a good actress and has the potential to be great one. she chooses her roles very carefully; it'll be interesting to see what she chooses next.












so i saw Inception last night and i have a new goal in life: BECOME JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT.

Cooler Than Me (Mike Posner vs. Sia)

















i am loving this Mike Posner vs. Sia mash-up. it's by an artist named Neon Hitch.

i love how mash-ups are like the NEW THING ever since Glee, AND how they always say "artist 1 VS. artist 2" as if the artists were like in a fight or something.

thoughts?
yesterday i uploaded a video of me singing my own version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" called "Miss your face."

it's dedicated to all the friends i havent seen in a long time. miss you all!

..and i apologize for the singing, but hey it's a learning experience, right?
Hi, my name's Alan and i'm addicted to communitychannel.

"Hi Alan."




you may have noticed your YouTube homepage looks a bit differently today. yeah, i clicked on the icon too.


but i'm actually excited for this "world in the day in the life" thing by ridley scott and some no-name that i'm sure is really good.

i'm thinking i might bring my video camera up to the cottage and actually film some footage and submit it, a la Canadian north kinda.thing.

also, Vampire Weekend's "Cousins" = WIN.
another dude i'm excited to see at Osheaga is Deadmau5.

i have heard so much about this CANADIAN (woot!) and i cant wait to see him live and just rock out and lose it.

i can already picture it in my head :D

OSHEAGA!













oh.my.jesus i'm so excited for OSHEAGA this year!!

looking back, last year's Osheaga was one of the highlight's of my summer, it was a spontaneous trip to Montreal and i had a blast with my two of my best friends Franco and Angela

I CANT WAIT TO SEE ROBYN! GAHHHH! that reminds me, i shoulb buy my ticket :P





















totes want this t-shirt made by one of my favourite youtubers: disneykid1.

birthday's in less than a month..anyone? i'm a small, just fyi.

NEW ROBYN!

ohmyfuckingtrans! New ROBYN!

this song speaks to me, seriously. like the lyrics and shit: "just dont fall recklessly, headlessly in love with me" fuck, if i had a nickle.

also, how sexy is the english chick's accent?






















check out the original pitchfork story here.

unfuck the gulf.


LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! brings up some good points tho.

my only questions is: are the inks soy-based, or oil-based?

turns out i have a skin infection. just another day in my life.


















so it turns out the itchy, scratchy messiness that appeared on my face at the end of last week was in fact a skin infection. yay.

the skin on my cheeks began cracking, pussing and falling off. literally; it was like my face was melting.

and on top of that i wanted to scrape my fucking face off it was itching so bad, which was the biggest torment. it took everything i had not to touch it.

so then i went to the doctor. yay healthcare! the good thing was he immediately was like, "you have a skin infection. it's not serious; bacteria that are always present on your skin just spread blahblahblah..." it's not contagious.

and then he gave me some antibiotics and topical ointment called fucidin cream. it's like spreading fucking bacon fat on your skin. it's funny because he was like, "you dont mind being greasy for a couple days, right?"

so now it looks like i got in a fight with a ultrasound technician.

the good news is it's getting better.

hope you guys are all doing well.
