linkfests are safe for blogs, right? they won't get me fired or turned away from grad school. and they're so wonderfully easy.
kevin drum has a post noting that reality tv viewership is down a whole bunch this year, and he speculates that people are getting tired of the formulaic boys vs girls competitve format. commenters come up with new teams: Sunni vs. Shiite, Halliburton vs The Carlyle Group, People in superhero costumes versus people in secret identity costumes, George Bush vs the Facts.
my dad sent me the following article: Love and war in Iraq, as seen by Italy's Benigni in Tunisia. apparently the italian stallion, or, well, whatever, is going to do a war movie about an italian poet who somehow ends up in iraq at the beginning of the war and rages against the destruction of the arab lands. it's called "la tigre e la neve" - the tiger and the snow. i'm not an enormous benigni fan (i know, shoot me, i didn't follow over and die because of the wonderfulness of "la vita e' bella"), so i'm not sure exactly how he'll be able to pull this off.
stereogum has a post noting the awesomeness of the music thus far on the o.c., which i totally agree with. they played the excellent a.c. newman's "on the table" at the beginning of the show last night, and the walkmen, of whom i'm not a particular fan, made an extended cameo at the peach pit. i mean, the bronze. i mean, whatever the hell their club that apes absolutely every previous teen show hang out place is called. anyway, the walkmen are much more clean-cut than i'd expected. last night also included songs from the thrills, rachel yamagata, and the beta band. you can keep up to date with what all the cool o.c. indie kids are listening to by clicking on features-->weekly soundtrack on the show's site.
okay, i know i know fuckall about video games, but what the hell is stubbs the zombie? is it a Very Special Indie video game? because check out this list of artists who are contributing to the video game soundtrack. i can't believe video games have soundtracks.
that's all i got. remember to check out the evite. you. are. invited. by anyone to do anything. doo doo doo.

yeah, The OC soundtracks are great...I'm in line to get the Christmas cd.
i've seen the walkmen twice, once at black cat and once at 9:30. they do actually look pretty clean cut in person, but they sure as hell don't sound that good live. i like them, but they just don't sounds as good live as they do recorded. the o.c. is deceptive like that. everything is prettier on the o.c. i *heart* the o.c. so much...
