Gas in the Tank

When there's gas in the tank on a perfect summer's day, I drive. I don't drive anywhere particularly special, but I do a pretty good job giving myself errands so I have an excuse to make a trip to Borders or stock up on facewash from CVS. I'm actually a terrible driver, but being in the car gives me a chance to PUMP UP THE TUNES and have people walking their dogs give me weird looks. Here are some songs that are on the CD in my car right now. Gasp.

Egyptian Hip Hop - Rad Pitt
Avi Buffalo - Summer Cum
Aeroplane - We Can't Fly
Tortoiseshell - This Girl (Canyons Dub)
Ha! Yes - 80's Overnight (Calvin Harris Mashup)
Dave Barnes - Little Lies *
The Noisettes - Never Forget You
Ratatat - Bilar **

* Dave Barnes is signed to Razor and Tie so, in a way, I work for him too!
** New Ratatat CD Lp4 is amazing

My Darling Gabby

I have officially crossed over to the "dark side" as my friend Ariel calls it; I got a blackberry curve. I KNOW I'M SUCH A JAP (jewish american princess, unfortunately not just japanese.) I am excited because most of my friends also have blackberries > I can bbm them > my mom won't get a three hundred dollar texting bill this month and offer for me to contribute to its payment. I also got a periwinkle case and made the background flowing wheat. I also named it "Gabby" ironically. Tried to avoid the sparkly pink gel cases, but no judgment Ariel. Thought I'd post some music that reminds me of self-conscious, daddy-money toting divas, or music that they listen to.

Literally the ANTHEM for all the JAPs who try to pretend they're hipster
"You can find me at Urban Outfitters buying sweatshop shoes and a book about prison,
Boycotting everything in sight, but I gotta look good for the rally tonight."
Maxx Moon - Urban Outfitters

My sister's and my favorite: Chromeo. Also the french teacher of my friend (???)
Chromeo - Needy Girl
Chromeo - Mamma's Boy

Gaga is quietly a big, fat JAP... here she is in her various reincarnations
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (GRUM remix)
Lady Gaga - Telephone (Alphabeat remix)
Lady Gaga - Alejandro (The Sound of Arrows remix)
Pomplamoose - Telephone (Lady Gaga Cover)

I admit that I pull the JAP move of singing disney songs really loudly in cars
djDOYOU - Can You Feel the Best I've Ever Had (Drake vs. Timon)
djDOYOU - That Girl Worth Fighting For (Wayne v. Pharrell v. Mulan)

Tigers love pepper

Just saw "The Hangover" for at least the fourth time and it was funny as ever. After I illegally created an mp3 of Ed Helm's "Tiger Song," I realized I should do a post about some of my favorite songs garnered with a comedic touch.

The inspiration: Ed Helms (as Stu) - The Tiger Song

The FOTC are old news, but here are some harder to find songs!
Flight of the Conchords - Bret You Got It Goin On
Flight of the Conchords - Jenny

30 Rock has to be one of the funniest shows on television, and it has songs.
(Muffin top also topped the charts in Israel and Belgium for a while ahaha)

Tracy Jordan - Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

My favorite songs from "A Very Potter Musical" available on youtube
AVPM - Get Back to Hogwarts
AVPM - Different As Can Be
AVPM - Ginny
AVPM - Cho Chang
