Valentine's Day and Other Fun Stuff...

Alright, I'm back....a massive post today...let's get started...

Check out this disgusting hit from the Pro Bowl last week...my team (the Redskins) stink, but at least they have Sean Taylor, who hits like my mother did when I was seven...this shit has gotta hurt, although how much props can you really give a guy who nails the punter?? (sorry about the quality...the NFL asked all proper videos from live telecasts to be removed from youtube for copyright reasons, so i had to find one of someone taping their television...ah well...you can still garner the violence of the hit from the picture you see...)



Manufactured Landscapes - This movie got a ton of critical acclaim at the Toronto Film Festival last year and for those that have seen 'Baraka', it looks to be in that mold...should be interesting, check out this primer...



Paintball Showdown - This is just plain funny...Jackass funny...I have no idea why I find this so hilarious...it just is....



This should be mandatory at all sporting events, not to mention in all high schools and elementary schools following the morning announcements...click on the link to find a video to what I'm referring to...Funny College Crowd

Goal of the Week - Danny Landzaat vs. Arsenal (stunning strike...I love goals like this)



Here are some songs to get you in the mood for V-Day (how can anyone celebrate a day whose initials are 'VD'....ewwwwww)

Elbow - Switching Off (one of the most stunning odes to love that you will ever hear...the lyrics and imagery on this track are brilliant...one of my favorite songs of all time)

Ben Folds - The Luckiest (a fun song, but true in many ways...it brings up some interesting ideas about love and relationships)

Cloud Cult - Chemicals Collide (this band is tipped for greatness in 2007 and will be on many critics 'best of' lists at the end of the year)

Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently (this track is simply funny...nuff said...play it loud)

And some more new Kings of Leon - Charmer (a little more Nirvana-ish than they're used to...love the bass, not too sure about the incessant sreaming though...)

This song has nothing to do with Valentine's Day...I've just had it on repeat the last couple of days...Beirut - Scenic World (this song could almost be a Wolf Parade track...i love the way it builds on itself...this guy is extremely talented and it's likely that you'll be seeing more from him in this space)

Oh yeah....hot sex this is...The Arcade Fire at Massey Hall on May 15 and 16...can't wait for this one...here's another one off Neon Bible, to be released on March 6...

The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
