anything with the Muppets is cool. in my mind, the Muppets are the uber cultural subversives. rebels to reason and unreason both. the antihumanity of the modern world. scathingly opinionated and yet jarringly apolitical, adhering to their own drug-addled logic and SFX-altered perceptions of reality, and yet the fucked-in-the-headness of them so artfully subtle that they can pass themselves off as 'good, clean family fun'.
nah, that's all just made-up-to-sound-pretentious drivel. i am by no means trying to warn anybody of an impending threat to the world, especially not specifically one to the human race. pretend i didn't say anything after 'anything with the Muppets is cool'.
Pia has posted something with Muppets over on her blog.
not exactly scathingly opinionated or jarringly apolitical, nor drug-addled or SFX-altered, and certainly not fucked-in-the-head. but i'm sure you see my point.
on rotation with Elvis Costello on the spinner: Muse's Black Holes and Revelations and The Mars Volta's Amputechture.
i really had meant to say more, mainly about the progged-up-Led-Zeppishness of The Mars Volta on Amputechture, and how you absolutely must listen to the CD with cranked-up headphones, but have lost my motivation in all that Muppetness. and though i had more to say about The Mars Volta than Muse, here's something you must see, the Knights of Cydonia:
(also here, on youtube, and there's a cool contest with the video somewhere, but our connection is being annoyingly turtlish and i'm too lazy to dredge it up at the moment, and, anyway, i really ought to be working. but i'm sure google will help you out.)
(ah, what the hell. found it for you, anyway. here it is.)
right. to work.
