Cosmonaut - Your Knife (My Side)
Alex on September 26 2013
Today I write this post with great joy and a sense of life completion. Whilst walking my dog last night an older black gentleman came up to me and proclaimed "I LIKE HIM" referring to my blue pit bull. Obviously I responded with "I like HER too" I told him she's friendly and to say hi to her. We chatted for a bit about pit bulls and parted ways. We take about 5 paces in opposite directions before he finally says it. He turns around and says "I like her a lot.. my man!" I almost fell to my knees in joy. It was the most quintessential Denzel Washington "my man" I've ever heard. I wanted to yell so the world knew "I'M HIS MAN!" For years I've wanted an older black man to call me "my man!" and that day has finally come. My tombstone will now read "Alex Mejias - music blogger, jiu jitsu junkie, and my man!"

The brain is a curious thing. One day you don't have the willpower to even drag yourself along through the mud like a slug, and the next day you feel halfway ok about your futile existence on this meaningless rock hurtling though infinity into this never ending pitch dark void of a universe. You know what I mean? winky face.
Hayden James - Embrace

Comin atcha with another hot Hayden James jam. Why is it that I can never hear Australian or English accents in music. As soon as people sing, they all sound the same. I typed the most racist thing ever and then deleted it and replaced it with this sentence.
Grizzly Bear - Will Calls

I'd love to talk shit about Grizzly Bear and this track but I simply cannot find anything wrong with it. In fact, this is one of the best tracks I've heard in quite awhile -- and that's coming from someone who digs through about 100 new tracks a day (whilst browsing reddit and watching animated gifs of cats). Go ahead with your bad self, Grizzly Bear.
The White Panda - Under Treasure
Alex on September 20 2013
It's Friday so that means it's acceptable to post a cheesy poppy mash up track. More importantly it means my coffee is strong enough to kill small children and pygmy goats.
In other news: I've noticed an influx of don't text while driving PSAs. Do these piss anyone else off? I mean how about a PSA that says "Don't do stupid shit while driving," or better yet "Don't be a fucking idiot - ever." Go ahead and prepare a souffle while driving but don't you dare text Peggy back "OMW" while sitting at a stop light!
On an unrelated note I really want one of those tube sucky things in my apartment -- you know the ones you used to see in offices and drive through banks? I'm not really sure what I would put it in.. possibly dirty t-shirts and those little oval flaps of plastic that seem to inevitably fall off plastic grocery bags.
Holy Ghost - I Wanna Be Your Hand

This album continues to rock my world... but lets talk science. Apparently Ambien can reverse the effects of brain damage caused by strokes and the like. It totally wipes out speech impediments in a matter of minutes. fuck. This song is good too though.
