Tenuous Link For Having A Santogold Video

Pancake Tuesday is the business. Everything smelling of lemon and sugar. You have to give it to the church, the only thing they ever did right was incorporating all those pagan festivals to dupe all the natives into taking up a crazy religion. Irish people were always suckers for any religion once they made a festival for eating (take note Scientology).

I'm on total Oscar overload at the moment mainly because people should be talking about far more serious issues (see here) and also trying to figure out how such a poorly developed study gets published in the first place (who is doing the peer review, I want answers!!), social Darwinism/sociobiology strikes again.

Also just finished reading Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, its my favourite offering of his, mainly due to the lack of the hated Arsenal scoring in the last minute to defeat my beloved Liverpool (see Fever Pitch). Anyways this got me thinking about the importance of lists, a recurring nerdy theme throughout the book, and it dawned on me that as far R'n'B or whatever its called these days my list only contains one artist, Santogold. Any video where for some reason they begin by sitting on a horse and then move through a series of mock violence scenes deserves to be praised. I haven't a clue what is going on but the song is catchy, just cant get those beats out of my head. Also gmail is down apparently... the end of the world is nigh!

Loved High Fidelity for the list/mix tape making, struck a little close to home.
As a Spurs fan it's against the law for me to read the other one!

Cracking tune.
And you don't often see a black girl on a horse!
Not round here anyway!

Yeah I also refuse to acknowledge the existence of Fever Pitch!!! As for Spurs you really need to talk to Harry! Putting out a new team against Shaktar again is just not on

Sleepy said...

I know, I know..
But it's taking him a while to buy the old team BACK!

Neil said...

Is Yossi your favourite Yid or what??!!

(Never fear, I'm allowed to say the Y word! As a Spurs fan and one of yer actual Yids!)

Neil said...

He is just so useless!!!! To be honest Southampton would have beaten Real tonight! Favourite player of Israel extraction (im pretending like im politically correct here) has to be Ronnie Rosentahl! His miss was priceless... Yossi has no class like that

Sleepy said...

Ah Ronnie!
The Super Sub...
Haven't thought about him for ages!

Well he won us a league in the eighties with his super-sub routine!! Damn I really should have Eyal Berkovic! A Hammer and someone who didnt get one very well with John Hartson
