I was told they did this on the show Glee this week. I assume their version was horrible.

World Cup
I'm probably one of the most excited people in the world for this summer's World Cup. Yet even in my excitement, I still want people to know about this:

Minus the Bear - My Time
Their new album, Omni, is really good. Not all the songs sound like this one. It's pretty all over the place, in the best way possible. Go buy it when it comes out in a couple of weeks.

Marlon Byrd
I finally made it out to Citi Field tonight to catch the Mets beat the Cubs. It was a decent game. Good weather, baseball, and beer. Can't go wrong with that.
Highlight of the night was when a group of guys in my section started to heckle Marlon Byrd, with the chant of "Byrd-Shit! Byrd-Shit!" These guys proceeded to get kicked out of the stadium, which then got the entire section to be rowdy and freaking out on the security. Good times.

Why Do I Keep Watching George Clooney Movies?
I watched 2 movies starring George Clooney this week. I'm not really sure why. I don't dislike the dude. In fact, I've actually enjoyed a few of his movies, especially the ones he has directed himself. Yet two Clooney movies in one week was a little overload.
I first watched "Up in the Air." I think I hate this movie. The first part was good, and I really liked Clooney's character. Yet he becomes soft throughout the film. He was a loner, yet he then invites his fling to his sister's wedding. That was crazy to me, and of course it ends up fucking him over. Starting from the scenes at the wedding, the film goes downhill fast.
The other film I watched of his was "The Men Who Stare At Goats." I have no idea what the fuck was going on in this, since I wasn't paying full attention to it. All I know is that Jeff Bridges was out of his fucking mind, Ewan McGregor jumped through a wall, and they kept on playing the Boston song, "More Than a Feeling." Whenever I hear that song, I always think of this:

TV rules
I have been watching a ton of TV lately. That's why I haven't been posting here in months.
There is so many fucking good shows out there...
So in an effort to keep this blog interesting and have less boring stuff about Devin I am going to post stuff about what I have been watching:
Today I want to talk about, Tosh.0
This is the best show ever.
He is funny, and racist (but in a funny way). The videos are funny and racist.
This is the best show since wonder showzen

Cursive - The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song
I'm going to start posting mini-reviews/reflections on some of the albums that really shaped me as I grew up. This is the music that I still to this day constantly listen to as it had a deep impact on me. Here it goes.
Cursive – The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song
In my junior year of high school, I was just beginning to expand my musical tastes from the pop-punk that I had previously obsessed about to the more indie-rock/emo style that was mostly popular among college kids in the Midwest who all wore shitty glasses and even shittier sweaters. It was less than a year after Cursive released “Domestica,” which I consider to be their best record. Yet their earlier record, “The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song,” is really the album that drew me in and got me hooked on them.
I actually stole this cd from an acquaintance. He was an older friend who was in college, and while I was over at his house one day I pocketed a few cd's of his that were just laying out not in their cases. The ones I remember taking were this Cursive album, a Texas is the Reason album, and the self-titled Planes Mistaken for Stars album. It was a damn good haul for me.
What really captured me about this album was Tim Kasher's self-reflective lyrics and his ability to deliver them in a passionate way, yet having a relaxed drawl to his voice. It was the perfect type of intensity that I was looking for, as the passion was the same I was feeling as a confused kid dealing with angst and love and society and simply just growing up.
It was perfect timing too, as Cursive started to slowly change in later releases as they became more self-aware of themselves. They recognized their own style, and even began to comment on it in their own songs. For me, this caused them to lose their genuine and unique qualities that they had. While I do still like them, their later albums just didn't connect with me as much as I connected with “...Semantics of Song.”

Californication - Season 3
I just finished the entire season 3 of Californication in one night. I couldn't do that with most shows, yet this is one of them that just sucks me in. I guess it's possibly the fact that I wish I could be as cool as Hank Moody, minus the parts when he is crying too much about the fact that his relationships never work out even though he is the one to blame.
One of the reasons that I do like this show so much is that it always has a good soundtrack, and inspires me to bust out some old music, especially Warren Zevon. The show references him so much, it's nearly impossible to resist putting on "Excitable Boy."

6am Playlist
I have been up all night for some reason that I can't really put my finger on. I guess it's due to my weird sleeping patterns of late, and hopefully my all-nighter combined with a weekend full of sleep and relaxation will get me back on a normal schedule. It's probably due to my addiction to Football Manager, and my quest to win the Champions League. A pot of coffee probably doesn't help either. It was worth it though, as not only am I kicking ass in Football Manager, but my ipod was right on point with providing me a kickass random playlist:

Tim and Eric's Old Spice Commericals.
Tim and Eric are great. Not because of their tv show, but because Eric was in Ink & Dagger. And also because of their tv show.
