I've been stumbling across these shoes a lot on my late night internet shoe browsing... Swear shoes from London. Our European pals might know what we're talking about. These look like such cool shoes! Ya feel me? I wish the shipping to America wasn't so much. We're gonna have to totally check them out when we're over the pond. In the meantime, we will continue to gaze longingly. 
Summer's not over yet. Let's jam a little to this beach party jam. SO SHARP Y'ALL.
I want to know where that guy got the cool voice-changer bullhorn. Ch-chopped 'n skrew'ddd.
Love the YouTube comments on this vid:
"Shut the f*ck up to those who hate on the this feel good summer hit. If I had money, im not gonna rap about struggles the whole time. So you telln me that everyday is a struggle where your at. Please, give me another excuse.
This is for a smile on a cloudy day, b*tches."
...And apparently living in Florida! He called us the other day to say how much he liked our band. What a sweet guy! Hear honest Abe for yourself:
What an honor. And here is our response:
If you wanna be cool like Abe, you can call us too: 1 (206) 855-5522
Stay cool y'all!
I just found Kat Dennings on Twitter and YouTube. She's been broadcasting on YouTube since before I knew about her (circa 2006, like after The 40-Year-Old Virgin and well before Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist). Well, there is a lot I didn't know about her. She seems pretty cool, just makin' funky vids in her cool pink room. Very inspiring. I mean, how can you beat lip-syncing to Souljah Boy?
YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME FOR A ROBE? WHEN YOU ARE JUST STRAIGHT LOUNGIN IN YOUR CHILLPAD, FEELING SO FRESH. MAYBE YOU JUST TOOK AN ICY HOT SHOWER IN YOUR RAP-VID WATERFALL SHOWER AND NOW YOU WANT TO REVEL IN THE TIME BEFORE YOU DRY COMPLETELY AND HAVE TO PUT REAL CLOTHES ON. MAYBE YOU WILL CHECK SOME EMAILS OR WATCH FOOD NETWORK CHALLENGE. OR MAYBE YOU WILL STAND ON YOUR DECK WITH THE WIND BLOWING DEFIANTLY AND YOU WILL LAUGH AS YOU EAT YOUR HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS. AND MAYBE YOU WILL WEAR ONE OF THESE ROBES. OH, THE POSSIBILITIES FOR THE DAY.

I was just looking for sheet music and I found this mini report on Vivaldi I did for piano lessons when I was like 9. This is it:
Vivaldi was born on march 4, 1678.
Vivaldi was born during an earthquake.
Vivaldi had red hair when he was little.
I should be a biographer.
But Vivaldi is rad. And so is this dude's hair.
This video is pretty crazy/ambitious. I really enjoy it. We first ran into Janelle Monae at this year's SXSW. I think we saw her perform maybe 3 separate times, and she was definitely one of the onstage highlights of the festival. So watch this viddd!!! I swear she is actually an android in real life. And her guitarist is a beast!
And as if you need another reason to come to Bumbershoot 2009, Janelle is performing. Along with yours truly, of course. Much luv.
This is making me really excited for the movie! And Karen O is doing the soundtrack? Right? Yeah.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE:
YAY TWO DECADES ON THE EARTH! THE BIG XX! 
Join us in giving a big congrats and happy b-day to our pal Claire!
I amended this sheet in the green room in San Francisco. I don't think David ever saw it. MAYBE NOW HE WILL.

In honor of John Hughes and one of my favorite movies of all time, here is a little advice for the ladies (courtesy of condi condi). The only person as cool as Ferris was perhaps, fittingly enough, his girlfriend Sloane. So choice. So take note:
THE GUIDE TO BEING SO CHOICE aka How Sloane Peterson from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Taught me how to be an Awesome Girlfriend.
- Get along with his friends if you don’t get along with his friends you are done. seriously. That is number 1. Even if you think his friends are uptight weirdos or hypochondriac freaks, HEY, he is friends with them for a reason, so cut the shit. You’ve probably got some weird and crappy friends too…
- Rein him in, but only when necessary you are his girlfriend, not his mother. If he wants to sing to the city on a giant float, let him do it. He’s a big man and he can deal with the consequences. You can nicely remind him, Look, if you do that there might be trouble, but if you throw a bitch fit and give him the silent treatmeant you will look fucking retarded when he has a new girlfriend on his arm from the impressive stunts he’s pulled.
- Be funny “He’s licking the glass and making obscene gestures with his hands.” simple as that.
- Be confident Look, one of the reasons Ferris loved her was because she was cool and classy lady, she didn’t stress. She uttered the words and believed “He’s gonna marry me.” She probably knows if her boyfriend was running through a backyard and saw 2 girls tanning he probably would stop and say hello, but she also knows that he would spend hours of stress and risk his neck to get her out of school to just see her. Relax. You have him. He’s not going anywhere, and if he talks to other girls who the fuck cares YOU are the one he wants to marry.
- Say Eloquent Shit did Sloane ever use the word “like” as much as you do in your daily conversation? No. Drop the habit that makes you seem like a dumb valley girl and trade it for stellar vocab terms like “warmth & compassion” and “devastatingly handsome.” Once you’ve mastered talking like an adult, you’ll be able to spew pearls of poetry like “The city looks so peaceful from up here…”
- Pack lightly ever notice how tiny Sloane’s purse was? The bigger the purse, the lamer the girl. Its called baggage for a reason.
- Be able to keep up with the boys Hey, if you’ve got cramps, take a fucking midol and strap in. You don’t ever wanna be the girlfriend who is a drag and never wants to go out. A girl who can say she cruised with the top down in a convertible, swung by the Stock Exchange, and took in a Cubs game all in one day, is sorta girl who you wanna keep around.
- Look badass in a jacket with fringe The End.
The humanthesizer! In this vid our homie Calvin Harris plays his new single using 16 bikini-clad women with conductive paint as the controllers. Pretty rad.
This opens up so many possibilities...
PLEASE, DON'T OVERREACT TAYLOR FANS
Like Luke did when I sent him this picture in iChat and told him it was for real. He has a big crush on Taylor Swift. It was a HILARIOUS PRANK, but it was just that, a prank, not true. Whichever Taylor your sights are set on, they are most likely still available. Unless they're maybe dating Selena Gomez like I read in that J-14 I blogged about the other day... This is just a mooooovie set!
They are filming a movie called Valentines Day, which I just decided to IMDB for the heck of it, and it turns out, the cast is RIDONkULOUS. So star-studded! Like a flashy denim vest. It's like the American Love Actually for Valentines Day.
Valentines Day Cast, in case you are curious too.
And that's the news at 1 AM. Also, I have a sore throat :(
Okay, this isn't the first time I've posted about Miley Cyrus... love her or h8 her, this is an amazing song. It's all I've been listening to for the past few days. Don't h8 on Miley. She is doing it right. PARTY IN THE USA!
I don't exactly know what this is (music video? short film? movie promo?) but it's kinda khute. <3 Zooey.
Has anyone seen 500 Days Of Summer? I have heard good things and bad things. Sweet or saccharine? Can't make up my mind if I should see it. Maybe I'll wait until Fall...
On this Friday, here is some cool disco from Boney M for you. Check out those dance moves! Damn!
BONUS: Lots of fur coats/ENOURMOUS beard vid from Boney M
Aaaand is anyone else excited to see Fantastic Mr. Fox? I didn't think I would be down with it, but it looks good!
I'm packing for 2 days in L.A. right now. Don't let me forget my toothbrush, it's a very nice one I got from my dentist.
In exactly 2 weeks it will be my birthday. I won't be a teenager anymore, and therefore I will not be allowed to read J-14 magazine anymore. 19 is pushing it as it is. 
Lolz I bought that for my friend's birthday, in the grand tradition of buying people J-14 when they are obviously not turning 14, but she's out of town. I hope she doesn't read this and ruin the surprise. We had one on tour and we would try to put the posters against the windows of the van and point frantically at them to get the attention of people on the street, but I don't think anyone ever looked. Maybe one person. But it was endless fun to try!
On the cover of this one it says "#1 Twi-Hard Mag!" and I understand what they're going for there, but I think it sounds a little questionable. If you know what I mean. As in: it sounds dirty.
Sea World! Us next. We wanna meet some penguins and a certain large whale.
p.s. - happy August already! wow time flies.
