DeVotchKa

In another effort to get virtually nothing done at the library I thought I could post about this new-to-me band, DeVotchKa. My friend and pseudo family member Billy Malloy recently passed two of their discs my way and it has been enjoyable every since. Like everything else I post DeVotchKa “fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic and Bolero music with American punk and folk roots” which anyone you know me, you know how I feel about Eastern Europe. Check out their myspace and finally for what one can only hope to be actual facts.

Angry Rants

So I like every other person reading this enjoys watching Kelly get riled up about Vanna White or Rachel about the creepy Santa Head (I’ve only heard wonderful stories about “Rachel on Roids”). So it is no surprise that an angry politically charged article would cause me such pleasure on the longest stint, in the name of the Society of Jesus, to ever take place in the Raynor library. I have been here approximately in an 2 hours and am hunkered down until 11. Anyways here it is. Sorry Michael because you are from Texas, but not really that sorry.

fedexpope.jpgThis just in, this just in.  …I might be spreading around a rumor and bullshit, but according to Cinematical, Cera has joined the cast of Arrested Development movie.  Huzzah!  …Andy Richter (did you know he went to U of I Urbana/Champaign and Columbia College?) is going to be Conan’s sidekick once again.  …Via Ain’t It Cool News, When the Tonight Show with Conan OBrien starts again in june, it will be with Andy.  Still no word on Masturbating Bear or Fed-Ex Pope.  …Via PopCandy, you can watch episodes of Captain Planet on Mother Nature Network.  I didn’t realize that so many celebrities contributed their voices to the show.  …Michel Gondry, a favorite director of mine, is only making himself cooler in my eyes by recently directing a Flight of the Conchords and now getting ready to direct Seth Rogen’s Green Hornet.  …Bedbugs are making a comeback in Chicago.  Having had bedbugs before, I am fucking scared.  …And in political news, Senator Burris is really up shit creek these days.  I don’t read much news; can someone let me know if its me or does there seem to be a lot of people that are being appointed to political offices that have tax problems?  Is this normal?

Lin’s Bin Lifeguard

So I caught this half-way through on the radio this past summer and I’m not even sure why I even remember it now. It’s XRT’s DJ Lin Brehmer’s thoughts on Chicago Lifeguards, I think its worth a listen. I’m still not sure about my thoughts on what he has to say (I’m not sure if he can even understand).
