Now featuring FRT, Guilty Pleasures, Music I’m Not-Ironically Into, and Friday Cat Blogging, all in one single post! Warning: this post is very heavy on video, ego-stroking, and bad taste. Friday Random Ten Because if it’s Friday somewhere, we might as well. Tanya Stephens - Man Fi Rule

Sorry posting has been slow on my end. I got back to New York two days ago, and between seeing temporarily-returned far-flung friends, setting up my new apartment(! running a million errands, doing my real job and preparing for school on Monday, the blog has taken a back seat. But I have a ton of great stuff in my email box, including a very important call to action on behalf of Jamie Leigh Jones (the woman raped by KBR employees in Iraq) which will be posted very very soon.
Maxwell - For Lovers Only Jill Scott - Sweet Justice Ray Charles - Night Time (is the right time) John Coltrane - My Little Brown Book The Notwist - This Room Yo La Tengo - Tiny Birds Spoon - Believing is Art Bob Dylan - Temporary Like Achilles Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla

I am still working off my post-Valentine’s Day hangover — that’s what happens when you spend V-day with a friend, TeleMundo (it’s the only channel that was working on my TV last night) and two bottles of red wine. But I am not so out of it that I would forget the FRT (as I apparently did last week).
This basically been my life lately. Radiohead - All I Need Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - One Good Son Death Cab for Cutie - Company Calls Epilogue Les Savy Fav - Fading Vibes Yo La Tengo - Georgia vs. Tom Waits - Ruby’s Arms [live] Guided by Voices - Motor Away

First it was Roxanne’s, and then when she gave it up, it was Lauren’s, and it only seems right that there should be one up here. So: Offspring: Pretty Fly Pink Floyd: When You’re In Wicked Tinkers: Gaelic Aire Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Four For Friday - Memorial Day Edition
So I’ve been delinquent on the FRTs for a good month now, which I attribute to traveling and now working. But this week, I remembered to craft my FRT on Thursday night (it’s not technically cheating, since it was certainly Friday somewhere) and set the post to publish on Friday. Genius, I know.
It’s Friday, so that means it’s time for the FRT. Set your MP3 player to shuffle and post yours in the comments. And if you want more great tunes tonight, come by the AuH2O show. First, a song I’ve been obsessed with for weeks now and cannot stop playing on repeat on my way to work:
