Yet another song that I love…
Bat For Lashes
Bat For Lashes rock a killer cover of “Use Somebody.”
You don’t need me to tell you this is awesome.

Scary Fox News Shit
The key here, is plausible deniability.
Fox News bullshitter Glenn Beck pleads with his viewing audience to NOT kill the people they disagree with.
Gawker is running with the theory that the folks at Fox are becoming increasingly concerned about the ferocity of the shitstorms they’ve kicked up, citing Shepard Smith’s recent offhand mention of the crazies they know are watching at home.
This bizarre and almost chilling clip is a bit like watching Beck pull down the mask and wink at the audience. For just a moment the blowhard character steps back and is interrupted by the more than slightly terrified performer who hides within. It’s one thing to play a bad guy, quite another to turn around and see the bad guys that will follow you.

Current Best Song Ever
The 80s called. They want their... Oh nevermind.
La Roux is an electro-pop duo from England. Their hit song “Bulletproof” is currently regarded by Sean K. Robb as pretty much the best thing he’s ever heard. Poppy as a veteran and catchy as a bad case of syphilis, it’s got an 80s new wave sound that harkens back to the blue eyed electrosoul of Yaz. Loves it.
And hey, now that we’re talking about Alison Moyet.
