Grrrroovy baby!
Is the City of God soundtrack cool or what? My sis burned us a copy last night; I listened to track one while getting dressed for work, and carried on listening when I got here. Am hooked. Now if only I could turn the volume of my speakers WAY UP to do these songs justice. From the Amazon review:
... composer Antonio Pinto (assisted by partner Ed Cortes) has concocted a smart, rhythmically intoxicating cocktail of Brazilian jazz and samba, shaken with a little '70s American funk and R&B and served with cool, tropical flair. Those various styles often melt into each other with a liberating sense of postmodern possibility, giving listeners an experience that's as exotic as it is deceptively familiar.So Jason Mraz was here last month and Incubus are coming over in a few days, right? Got to thinking who I'd pay good money to see, just in case they saw the light and decided to do shows here. Wishful thinking! ;)
1. =w=eezer

Literate Hippo
This is Hepa the Hippo. He is reading the latest MTV Ink. You should too, as it has a short useless article on "how to make mix CDs" (by... me!) as well as a whole spread on that strange musical pseudo-phenomenon known as emo ("Finding Emo," ha ha). And of course -- Poofy comics! (Hi Rob!) :)

The dreamer returns. Bwahahahaha!
Take The Ewan McGregor Test!Hey all. I'm back in NGO country, so I get to blog from the GP office again. Hehehe.

Now this quiz result makes sense.
Take The Ewan McGregor Test!Watched the Oscars on Star Movies last night. Love that Jack Black and Will Ferrell. They were saying the orchestra music played to cut off the winners' long thank you speeches actually had lyrics. Then they sang it together. Some lines: "You're boring", "You don't have to thank your parakeet", "Look at Catherine Zeta-Jones, she's snoring", "We're about to play a Del Taco commercial", or something to that effect.
And that jazzy performance of Belleville Rendezvous was just too cool. Bill Murray looked like he thoroughly enjoyed it. When the Oscars try to make it up to you, they really pile it on, eh?

The Worst Jobs in Science
by William Speed Weed, Popular Science
via boingboing guestblogger Johannes GrenzfurthnerSo you wanna be an astronaut?
Thagard also had the distinction of being the first person ever to clean out animal cages in orbit, on the Spacelab 3 in 1985. Engineers promised him that the cages would be at negative pressure, so none of the weightless waste of 24 rats and 2 squirrel monkeys would escape. But when Thagard opened the cages, air rushed outward, leading to a frantic floating-feces chase scene. A day later, at the other end of the craft, commander Bob Overmeyer was accosted by a truant turd.Other not so dream-jobs: FLATUS ODOR JUDGE, ISOLATION CHAMBER TESTER, CARCASS CLEANER, PRISON RAPE RESEARCHER, the list goes on...
It's not all brown humor, just my mood....Read the article!

Tap Dancers Need Not Apply
For all you singers and songers out there -- a golden, shining OPPORTUNITY! Whoo!
Ape House is run by Andy Partridge, brilliant singer/songwriter of what is perhaps my favorite band, XTC. If I had any musical ability whatsoever, I'd send something in just to be happy with the thought that he'd listen to it. Sadly... I don't.
Is your thing good enough to be released on the Ape label?
Are you quirky, good, inventive, striking, shocking, talented, different, entertaining, worthy, brilliant-songwriter, singer, band, poet, instrumentalist, musique concretiste, tap dancer (okay, delete tap dancer) that needs to get to the public?
Well, we’re willing to hear what you can do. That's right, send your demos/actual recordings/whatever, to our office and we promise that we’ll give them a fair and interested hearing. Please note that we will be unable to return your discs or tapes and that no reply from us will mean that you are merely not our cup of tea/okay/not ready or awful.
However should you throw the switches at Ape, please make sure all contact details are included. Please note we don’t do big advances, i.e. loans, as we aren’t wealthy ourselves but, if you’re the right stuff you will get the fairest deal you can imagine and the opportunity for world-wide release.
So... what are you waiting for.
Send your material to Ape, c/o Weatherbox Limited, Po Box 2126, Storrington, West Sussex. RH20 4WF. England.
