I saw this the other evening and was absolutely floored. It is an extremely poignant snapshot of MJ right before his death, and he’s shockingly coherent and capable. The piece should be shown to the jury deciding the fate of Dr. Conrad Murray. Jackson never should have died. I urge all of you to see it. I’ll probably go again.

Initially, it was like, “What?!” But Thom Yorke did it, and we like him. It’s like: “If dad does it, it’s OK, right?” Radiohead are like parents of good modern rock ‘n’ roll in certain ways. They paved that path.

Chris Taylor, of Grizzly Bear, on why the band decided to record a song for the Twilight album. (via crumbler) (via gloriahawa)

Jessica gave me the New Moon soundtrack yesterday and I really enjoy it. Also: I saw Twilight and loved it. The dialogue was as awful as the make-up job on Robert Pattinson—but it was an immensely entertaining movie and the cinematography was excellent. I had no expectations whatsoever, so I’m sure that helped..

The musical instrument most like a typewriter is the piano, both mechanically and emotionally. I love (or at least like) every Tori Amos album, but this is the one I most often play when I’m working. ‘China’ seems a bit histrionic now, but that song blew my mind once. ‘Happy Phantoms’ did, too. To be honest, they still blow my mind now, if I try hard enough. I also really like the Crucify EP. Her cover of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is pretty dumb, but ‘Winter’ is an extremely moving song. It makes me want to pet a cat.

Chuck Klosterman on Tori Amos’ Little Earthquakes (“12 Albums That Kick Writer’s Block”) (via hailthepagesturning)

Well. I should try this. Because I’ve been producing a whole lot of nothing lately.

Et tu, Mike Montgomery?

As far as I can tell the USC men’s basketball team only has six eligible scholarship players for the first half of the season because of all the drama surrounding their program. And the Stanford men’s team is STILL picked to finish behind them in the standings, while Cal is favored to win the conference. What a sad state of affairs.

H1N1

OK. At least five of my friends have been diagnosed with the swine flu. All of them are going to live (I think). What is going on? Why am I the only person I know not freaking out about this? Isn’t it just a nastier variation of the same bug that goes around every year? It seems like if your immune system is otherwise fine then you won’t end up in the ICU with the piggy flu. Am I wrong? Can someone who is more qualified to speak about this please post some answers? I always get sick, yet I’m powering right through this outbreak unscathed. I almost feel left out.

If only there were some sort of trend to be gleaned from this data … (From this paper (via))

How about: civil rights shouldn’t be voted on by the general public. Because the general public can’t be trusted. (See presidential election: 2000, 2004).

Code Blue

I went to the Apple store this morning at the Beverly Center after 24 hours of my iPhone not turning on. They said my little guy has fallen into a coma.

Literally. The geek said coma.

So now they’re shocking it back to life. And before I handed it over “Para Emergenica” flashed across the screen. I really, really hope I don’t lose all my numbers, and that my little bilingual digital appendage pulls through!

Your prayers are much-appreciated during this difficult time.

nbaplayoffs2009:

Toni Braxton & Ron Artest

Sometimes it seems like the Lakers are intentionally upping the difficulty of their title defense, just to keep things interesting. First, replacing Ariza with Artest. Then, Lamar Odom and the Kardashians. Finally, it looks like Toni Braxton, the only R&B singer that has actively broken up an NBA team, is somehow in the mix as well. She originally caused the Mavs to trade both Jim Jackson and Jason Kidd when they got into a fight over her - what’s going to happen if she’s photographed riding on Andrew Bynum’s shoulders in a few weeks?

I read on CNN this morning that Monica of “The Boy is Mine” fame is looking to make a comeback with a reality show. Perhaps she and Braxton could do a remix with Ron-Ron as the man in the middle.
