chrome "i meet you in the subway"

i solicited the help of a new kid on my radio show. he's going to do traffic and weather. i looked for the groundhog day themesong "i'm your weatherman" but i couldn't find it. however, i did get a helicopter sound to play behind his traffic reports. i have high hopes.

google has a new browser, chrome. i hear it sucks.

update: i'm now using it, but the major claim about it's utility is wrong. it still freezes totally.

superpitcher "happiness"

i am addicted to kompact records. i live usually in an electronica cone of silence, but it was love at first vibration with kompact, notably the field and thomas fehldman. i flipped through the electronic section at sonic boom records here in seattle looking for the characteristic kompact font. i found it first on a record by superpitcher, "kompact's resident softie." his record "here comes love" is gorgeous, especially the song "traume," which features a guest vocalist. i have two acquisitive dreams now in life: to own a polo in every color and to own the entire kompact catalogue.

Chamillionaire "Industry Groupie"

Chamillionaire gives a funny skit introduction to "Industry Groupie." Whichever fan is filming this song is a little too excited and the sound sucks on the actual song. Here's one of those fake Youtube videos of the studio version.

the colonial friend

by director Rachid Bouchareb, this short film, L'Ami y'a bon, is a companion to his 2006 film Indigènes. In bleak animation and sparse percussion, this short recounts the story of a Senegalese man who volunteers for the French Army in 1939 and then is captured during the French capitulation in June 1940. Sent to a concentration camp in Germany, he survives and is freed in 1944. Returning to Senegal, he and his fellow conscripts demand their wages for the previous five years. The French authority denies their request and massacres them all.

Kiss

A side-by-side comparison of kisses from "The O.C.," "Veronica Mars," and "Grey's Anatomy" inexplicably using French dubbed versions of the shows. The VM kiss gets my vote a thousand times over, but I am heavily VM biased and suggest that you watch the first season if you want to experience 935 minutes of sustained bliss.

The kiss is itself a spoiler, so I won't describe it and recommend that you abstain from watching this video until you watch the first season.
