I know I'm sad and creepy for my Stephin Merritt obsession, but I don't care.
He was just on Fair Game and played two songs from Distortion.

Amazing.
Faith: What do you think of musicals like Momma Mia? Where Broadway takes those songs and turns them into fun family affairs?
Stephin: Um, I am sworn never to discuss Momma Mia.
Faith: (Laughs) Um, To whom did you swear that? Your Gods of Music?
Stephin: I've sworn it again and again. I, uh, formerly only swear to Ganesh.
Faith: Oh, are you Hindu?
Stephin: No.
Faith: Is he the elephant one?
Stephin: Yes...he's the cute one.
Faith: (Laughs) He's the cute one?
Stephin: Yes, I like Ganesh because he's the cute one.
My obsession is justified.

Oculomotor Cues
My eye itches.
Someone please suck it out of its socket.
I'm looking at you, Hoover.
J. Edgar, you dog.
I've been in this obstructive cloud for the past week+/-
I can't get anything done and everything makes me sigh.
But I watched the Forbidden Zone today, and am now fulfilling the prophecy of the clerk from Nicollet Village Video.
You read it here first.

Hesitating Tunez.
How can I post MP3s on here?
Is there a way?
I've been recording a lot and MySpace is lame.

TVC15
Jeez.
I'm obsessed with Pawn America commercials.
You know the ones with the weird bearish guy whose head pops up when the session singers reach the zenith of
"PAWN AH-MER-IH-CA!" in the theme song?
It's so good.
The new Valentine's Day commercial has his head centered in a heart outline while he rattles off their deals on jewelry.
"I heart Heart Day!" He says.
Twice.
It's surreal. Minneapolis has such a strange and charming array of local advertisements. I love the low-budget homemade ones you see for World of Wireless with the non-actors explaining their phone woes. Everything is so cute and really reflects the friendly and welcoming attitude that I associate with Minneapolis.
My alltime favorites, by far, are the commercials for Erik's Bike Shop.
The music is ridiculous. I want to eat it.
