White and Nerdy..

Den er gammel, men jeg ser den igen og igen..



Oh, og tjek wikipedia-opslaget for white and nerdy. Guddommeligt!

"Yankovic created his "pimped-out" MySpace page for the filming.[8] "White & Nerdy"'s top eight MySpace friends are Bill Gates, Napoleon Dynamite, Mr. Peabody, Albert Einstein, Screech, Frodo, Pee Wee Herman and Tom[8].

"The Wikipedia article Yankovic vandalizes (by typing "YOU SUCK!" in large letters) is the article about Atlantic Records, referring to the company refusing permission for Yankovic's to include "You're Pitiful", a parody of James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful," on Straight Outta Lynwood.

"The name of his dog, Foofie, is a reference to the Pentium chip flaw known as f00f

Spitting Feathers

Mens jeg har haft travlt med nyt arbejde, og dokumentarfilm i resten af døgnets timer, er det gået mig helt forbi at Thom Yorke har udsendt en 6-spors EP ud efter The Eraser (som jeg tidligere har skrevet om her). Nu har jeg fået fat på den, gennemlyttet, og overvejende glad for EPen, der er udgivet til det japanske marked. Ikke mindst takket være en funky og stærkt forlænget version af "Harrowdown Hill".

Hvad jeg heller ikke vidste var at udtrykket "spitting feathers" betyder "being extremely agitated, most usually because they’re as angry as hell":

"Spitting feathers became common in British slang in the nineties and these days often turns up in newspapers and books. An example from the politically and linguistically conservative Daily Telegraph newspaper for 28 February 2002 shows how it is used: “Edify is working on software which responds to the pitch and tone of a telephone caller’s voice so that, if a complainant is spitting feathers, they can be transferred to a human who can calm them down”.

Der er en udmærket anmeldelse her

Jeg forventer at få lidt mere liv i min blog og gå over til Wordpress snarest. Stay tuned.
