actually, that site with the video is pretty sweet in itself.

lotsa vids to watch.

check these dumbass jocks taunt everyone in line with their their brand new xbox360 and then drop it out the window of their truck while some dude waiting in line grabs it and runs away. hahahaha

good on that dude.

The Beckett ounce explained.

Thanks, ngz. It almost sounds like they've covered someone else, but I couldn't place it. Maybe it just sounds like another song I've heard.

and sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet on the website

yeah the Journal's probably going to have a small blurb, and ED's supposed to do a spread or something after. i dunno. we'll see.
bloc party question: it's a new song, not on the album. it's its own single that came out this summer. (two separate bsides, "HERO" another new song, and "Streets remix of Banquet") you may have heard us play the MSTRKRFT remix of Two More Years at Hipster Twister. i actually have two versions of the song - one version i bootlegged off my Bloc Party FanClub account which actually does not contain the outro lyrics that appear on the official Single release. i may have sent that to you awhile ago or something.

Despite the fact that The Journal and Ed (I think) may be embodied in a single entity at Twister, that's still awesome, ngz. But you neglected the most important part of the shameless plug: what are the prizes?

And while we're talking shameless self promotion, I might as well get this out of the way sooner rather than later:

We're (nearly) up and running. Nearly meaning we need content. But you guys can feel free to check it out at www.whatiftv.com.

Ok, this has been bugging me for a while, and I can't seem to find an answer. Eric, perhaps you (or someone similarly musically knowledge-d) can help me out.

Why does "Two More Years" by Bloc Party sound so familiar? Is it a cover? A rip-off of some other song? Is there something I'm missing here?

shameless self promotion:

hey guys. so yeah i updated the hipster twister site with some new photos and mp3s (brand new hot hot heat song)
but the reason for this post is, next tuesday (DEC 27) is SUPER IMPORTANT for hipster twister - because we have the Edmonton Journal & ED coming down to check it out, and i really want to be able to give them some good pictures -so if you're interested PLEASE COME THIS COMING TUESDAY.
that is all. thanks.

We only got these really terrible chocolate euro coins during our test. They tasted a little like I imagine stale chocolate gum would taste like.

I've decided I should probably try to keep up doing some German over the holidays so I don't forget it all, so I just spent an hour looking for kid's books in German (preferably with pictures) on chapters.com. I found "The Little Prince" in German, and I could order Harry Potter in English, French, Spanish, Welsh, and ancient Greek, but not German. Stupid chapters. And no Narnia series. Does anyone know if there's a foriegn-language bookstore anywhere in Edmonton?

Jump n' Bump? I haven't played that game in ages, I can just see the steven harper and jack layton rabbits deciding to jump on the paul martin rabbit while he is jumping on the trampoline... who will win? It's up to edo's imagination... dream away ed, dream away.

Jess- yup five and a half hours! But I'd much rather be doing that than writing a 300 word german essay, plus he brought us cookies by george... I had a brownie, so I think you're at liberty to complain. And yes we are planning to do the christmas eve service this year, I'll keep you and anyone else who's interested posted.
