iTunes, Erasure, and stagnant rage

I decided to dig around in the ole iTunes store to find some new music tonight and discovered a delightful treat in the debut album of a band called Fanfarlo. If you like Arcade Fire or Clap Yours Hands Say Yeah! and/or charming instrumental-ish pop — you’ll be game for sure. If you just like pretty songs that are catchy and well-written, you will also enjoy them. If you like me and think that everything I like is cool, then you’ll surely be down. Either way, you can obtain their album from iTunes right now for only $5.99. That’s a meager investment at best. I will taunt you mercilessly if you don’t pony up and at least give it a go. Though, I have tastes that others seem to not find palatable, so if you’re lame — just continue listening to the Twilight Soundtrack and your old Erasure tapes.

Also, Paul Rudd’s celebrity playlist solidified my crush on him. In contrast, I found myself annoyed at how much I enjoyed Demetri Martin’s selections in contrast to his stupid ass song descriptions. Please, Demetri, break your lame ass too-indie-to-emote “comedic” persona for two seconds and attempt to explain why you picked the songs you chose. You obviously want cred. You picked Deathcab, Grandaddy, and Neutral Milk Hotel…just give it up. Stop being a mop-topped prick for a two point two seconds, dude. You’re marginally talented and you like the same shit I liked in college. Cool. I still like it. Go fuck yourself. Where was I? Oh yeah, Fanfarlo. Check it out.
