can't you hear those cavalry drums hijacking your equalibrium. midnight hags in the mausoleum where the pixleated doctors moan. carnivores in the cowloon night breathing freon by the candlelight. coquettes, bitch slap, you so polite til you thank them for the tea and sympathy.
i want to defy the logic of all our sexx laws. let the handcuffs slip off your wrists; i'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home. i'm a full grown man but i'm not afraid to cry.
neptune's lips taste like fermented wine. perfumed blokes on the ginza line running buck wile like a concubine who's mother never held her hand. brief encounters in mercedes benze wearing hepatitis contacts lens. bed and breakfast getaway weekends with sports illustrated moms.
i want to defy the logic of our sexx laws. let the handcuffs slip off your wrists; i'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home. i'm a full grown man but i'm not afraid to cry.

my beautiful dark, twisted fantasy

KANYE WEST IS A MOTHERFUCKING DOUCHEBAG. HE'S A MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE.

and you know what? i love him even more. i love his all caps tweets. i love the fact that his rhymes are disgustingly sick. i love his twisted beats. i love the fact that he has MOTHERFUCKING BON IVER on a track. yeah, that's right... bon fucking iver of 'skinny love' fame. i don't know if anyone else knows that song, but i fucking love it. i love bon iver. i could write soliloquies on how much i love bon iver. i even liked him in the new moon soundtrack with st. vincent; rosilyn? i don't remember-- it's been too motherfucking long since i cared about a gdamn twilight soundtrack.
*insert blatant lie snort here*
i always fucking care about gdamn twilight soundtracks. i obsess over them like no other. it's creepy, i realize this and i apologize in advance for the onslaught of posts that will come in june, or november. when does that breakin' bed-posts, i mean, breaking dawn movie come out? sweet jesus, i don't even remember. i think it's november. they're still shooting in some bog in louisiana, right?

who the fuck cares.

back to kanye.

BECAUSE KANYE DOESN'T GET SIDETRACKED BY MOTHERFUCKING DOUCHEBAG VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES.

i first heard my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy in my friends car just after new years. or was that just before? whatever. the point was, i was freezing my tuccas off and there, my little cherub faced compadre sat in his carhart hoody, waxing poetic over olivia wilde in tron and how sick the turn on the lights track on the new kanye album was. it was at this point he started singing-- nay, rapping-- in kanye's thought provoking fashion. i have to admit, the man writes a mean lyric.
i'm not uneducated in the kanye progression. i liked parts of late registration and college drop out. hated 808 heartbreak or whatever the fuck it was. loved the song heartbreaker, though. paranoid wasn't what the people needed at that point, and although it was poignant, it flopped.
then he had that whole mtv music awards, imma let you finish, but beyonce had the best video of all time, i'm a drunken idiot whose girlfriend seems to be wearing a nylon bodysock, thing. then he was hated. then he started tweeting, and people were like, you're just a douchebag. make music, douchebag and shut the fuck up while you do it. oh, and you're short.
then he comes out with this and i want to jerk off to each beat. not the visual you were looking for? perhaps 'i would like to dance sensually with a member of the male sex on a hot, close, dark dancefloor in just garters?'
the music is sexy. it's raw. it's driving. it's intelligent, oddly enough, an odd occurrance from the rap community to begin with.
for example, take these lyrics from who will survive in america:
us living as we do, upside down, and the new word to have is revolution. people don't even want to hear the preachers spill or spiel, because god's whole card has been thoroughly piqued. and america is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey. the youngsters who were programmed to continue fucking up, woke up one night digging paul revere and nat turner as the good guys. america stripped for bed and have not all yet closed our eyes. the sings of truth were tattooed across our open ended vagina. we learned to our amazement, the untold tale of scandal; two long centuries buried in a musty vault, hosed down daily with a gagging perfume. america was a bastard, the illegitimate daughter of the mother country whose legs were then spread around the world and a rapist known as freedom, free doom... 
you can't tell me that isn't fucking brilliant?! i don't care if that's another poets words. i don't even think it's kanye saying it. but seriously-- that. i think my literary heart just exploded and coated the world with happy sentence, syntax and fucking meaning goodness. i feel like one of those cartoon kids in winnie the pooh (who incidentally was a bear in wininpeg, canada at one point in time, hence the name winnie. winnie, winnipeg; get it?!) when eyeore gets his tail.

so my recommendation for january, although i'm late as shit on this, is to buy/download illegally kanye west's my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy.
now.
and toast to some THE DOUCHEBAGS and THE ASSHOLES when you do it.

across the universe

it's like i just discovered sex.


i've never been much of a beatles fan, it's true. i had always chosen the who or led zeppelin over john, paul, george and ringo. there are still some times i would choose robert plant over a fruity mccartney number. i never understood why people loved john lennon so fiercely-- i always thought he was a bit of a pretentious dick and a perma-fry. george? who the fuck was george harrison? and ringo?! no one cares about ringo! i think he was on a television show in my youth as some hack ass mini train conductor that came out of a painting on the wall.
kids of the 90s... no wonder we all need ritalin and therapy. our childhoods were fucked if this is the kind of programming we got.

i digress.

but seriously, these past two days it's like i've discovered sex in the way that i'm thrilled to pieces with the beatles. something's wrong-- first i'm having a shit fit over the kanye album (i don't/didn't do rap... my how things change), then i'm having (ear)gasmic experiences with the complete beatles discography.

i like the white album FYI, however rubber soul is quickly tramping down that love. revolver, help! and abbey road follow in that order quickly after.
though i still hate octopus' garden. i've always hated that song. even as a kid, driving across the continental united states in my grand parents rv or my parents immigrant/child rapist van, listening to sebastian the crustatian (crustatean? who the fuck cares) cover 'in an octopuses garden under the sea' in his lolling jamaican accent (which to the day i still believe is fake).

i just had to share my oreargasmic experience with ya'll.

but seriously... if this discography had a dick... i wouldn't be walking right. just sayin'

stop! the train is riding down to the station where you lived when we were school kids.
hey! the rails are caught now and i am falling down. fools in a spiral, round this town of steam.
my body tells me no, but i won't quit 'cause i want more; i want more.
my body tells me no, but i won't quit 'cause i want more; i want more.
stop! the train is riding down to the station where i lived when i was a cool kid.
hey! is it my fault that the fallen embers burn down in a spiral, round your crown of thieves.
my body tells me no, but i won't quit 'cause i want more; i want more.
my body tells me no, but i won't quit 'cause i want more; i want more.
and it rides out of town.
oh it's my road and it's my war.
his eyes are open; it's my war.
his eyes are open; his eyes are open.
my body tells me no, but i won't quit 'cause i want more; i want more.

2010

okay, so it's belated. forgive me. i was off doing dirty hipster things and drinking pabst blue ribbon and smoking rollies while my boyfriend with a woods-man beard groped me in public, and telling people that i liked the band, but i hated it's new stuff-- they were much better before.
just kidding. i was working. much less interesting, but the truth.

so i've compiled a list of my favorite songs of 2010; songs taken from my currents here, my ipod rotations and songs i pulled out of my ass. so... here you are: my (100) top songs of 2010.
