we are still in a recession but things are looking up. obama promised “change” but personally i still can’t grow a beard and that pisses me off. i guess it ok though. the beard economy was hit hard by the recession and hipsters are realizing that they are douche bags after watching 500 DAYS OF SUMMER and coming to the conclusion that their beard wont get them any more loving than the next guy who wears skinny jeans (me?).

here is some more gay music i’ve been listening too to make these hot summer days bearable.

miike snow – animal

Michael Jackson – This Place Hotel

discovery – osaka Loop Line

ghost – from the beginning

crystal fighters – xtatic truth (xtra_loud_mix)

last year i geeked out for bat for lashes when they released their music video for ‘whats a girl to do’. huy always calls that video the #1 alt bmx video ever made. what huy is trying to say is that video is awesome.  so when i illegally downloaded the new album, i didn’t know what to expect. for some weird reason when i listen to some of the songs i picture the life and death story of a town in the wild west. yeah. well maybe you’ll picture something different.

bat for lashes – sleep alone

bat for lashes – daniel

bat for lashes – pearl’s dream

*this is the video for ‘whats a girl to do’ from fur and gold.

UPLOADED FROM MY IPHONE

while millions of americans are getting laid off and living on government bail-outs and unemployment, i decided to say fuck society and give the proverbial middle finger to this thing we now know as “the economic recession”.

yeah, that’s right! i quit my day job and it felt awesome!

the only thing i miss about my old job is that i got to spend A LOT of quality time in my car listening to sweet tunes. and even though it was the worst job in the world and incredibly boring i’ve had some good times blasting jams out of my 2006 nissan sentra and honking at fly ladies strolling the sidewalks of LA.

this is part 1 of songs that i like that may make me gay ::

matt & kim – daylight

passion pit – i’ve got your number

silversun pickups – lazy eye

m.i.a. – paper planes (dfa remix)

coconut records – west coast

the boat people – born in the 80′s
