The National - Exile Vilify
alex on April 19 2011
The National created this song for the game Portal 2. I'm not a huge fan of the Portal games but Valve and Gabe Newell as a whole have a rock solid business model. Music biz needs more of this shit. In other news: my neighbor listens (at high volumes) to the worst fucking jock jams music from 1994. The kid is also quite flamboyantly gay which generally lends itself to great taste in just about everything. I suppose fate put him across the hall as a ying and yang sort of scenario.
Memory Tapes - Today Is Our Life

Feel good be happy music. I was watching TV last night (I'm currently addicted to Stargate Atlantis) and I was checking out extras chat in the background of a scene. Maybe an actor can answer this for me, in a TV show or movie do the background conversations actually consist of real dialogue? or it most like "Potato Monkey Cheeseburger" then the other guy nods.

I was on the fence about this band but after a few solid listen throughs of the album I'm in fucking love. On a lighter note: you know when you walk into a fast food joint and you see a really fat person grubbing out? Something about that is really satisfying to me, like seeing a lion, eating its prey, in the savannah.
