I want to marry Liz Lemon : an ohwnt MegaPost

And Jack Donaghy.

This is the funniest thing on TV right now. And Liz and Jack are why.


I really don't know how she keeps a straight face through her "funny business" monologue.

This week's been a good and busy one for OHWNT [not for me, but for the pages]-- for some unexplicable reason so far we're clocking an average of just under 50 hits/day. That may sound pathetic, but hey! That's something to be proud of, so go tell all your friends about today's wonderfully random songs and let's set a record!

I think I already set a record for exclamation points and now I kinda wanna shove one down my throat and barf. Too much happiness.

Enjoy your weekend.

Rokkin With Okkervil River


I've eluded to the awesomeness of Okkervil River's latest album The Stand Ins a few times already, if you've read closely. Or at all. It picks up right where last years The Stage Names left off.

This time the hype is real. Singer/songwriter Will Sheff is almost at Colin Meloy or Dan Bejar's level of writing here. Simply mahvelous.

Here are some tunes from the new album:

Okkervil River - "Singer Songwriter"
Okkervil River - "Starry Stairs"
Okkervil River - "Lost Coastlines"

And one older one that I just recently discovered, from 2002's Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See. It's a murder ballad:

Okkervil River - "Westfall"

Go purchase Okkervil stuff:

Reminder:

My less talkative doppelganger Teiam Player rocks the Majestic friday night at Madison's most awesomest club night. Be there or be striken from my Facebook friend list. Click here to see a slew of related Teiam Player posts, complete with musics and mixes, old and new. I'll save you some time by sharing this nugget, which has been touted by friends as my instant classic. I made it in a time long ago, back before I was even the boyman Teiam Player.

Teiam Player - "Work it Black" [ACDC vs Beyonce]

Favorite Songs of 2007, Part Cinco

I have a few busy days ahead of me and am in the middle of one right now, so it'll most likely be a week of few words for me, at least until I need to come here for solace and for my own sanity. Lucky for you, I'll keep on yesterday's habit of just producing a few short lists. Today, it's two old Teiam Player tracks and a few other Favorites of 2007 which, at the time of typing this were still undecided.

I'm also skimping on the linkage, because I just can't be bothered to do so. To buy anything below, head over to Insound or Other Music or Amazon, ore simply crack open your iTunes.

Okkervil River - "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe"
!!! - "Sweet Life"
Battles - "Atlas"
Digitalism - "Zdarlight"

Teiam Player:
The Islands "Rough Gem" + Outkast "B.O.B" =
"R.G.O.B"
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone "Young Shields" + Cadence Weapon "Sharks" = "Young Shark Shields"
