Her myspace says “she quits”! quit what? don’t quit! More Soko pleeeeease.

Resolutions…
Happy New Year…?
My New Year resolutions for 2k9:
No more fist pounds. If someone comes towards you trying to intiate one, the new thing to do is, “the downward wrist chop”, followed by a firm and audible “no”.
Try to quit smoking. Why not quit smoking rather than trying to? because smoking is so great. Everyone who smokes and tried to quit knows this, sometimes it takes quiting to realize. The most interesting people at any party are always found in the smoking area.
Be really mean. 2k9 is the year of being really mean. The hippie ideal of loving one another has not worked out. This year i’m going to try to be the biggest asshole / jerk / shit head I can. So far it feels great.
Lastly, because I can’t think of any other things that I could improve on, don’t hoard all the good songs. I have this imaginary mix tape that im always making and I save all the good songs for it. Fuck it. Heres to 2k9, isn’t it amazing? How many days till summer? Thankgod for music.
From our BFF’s site Ohh! Crapp.
The Teenagers – Feeling Better (Minitel Rose Remix)

Lifelike usually lays it on a little too thick for my liking. this one is just right
Lifelike – L.O.V.E. Is What You Need
From You Can Call Me Pelski. Dubstepp.
Amy Winehouse – Love Is A Losing Game (Moody Boyz Vocal Mix)
Who won the Passion Pit remix competition on this song anyways? Who won the Reckenor one also? so many questions…
Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (LOL Boys Remix)
Maroon 5 have a remix album out with some top notch producers on board. They have done a great job of actually making M5 listen-able.
Maroon 5 – This Love (Cut Copy Galatic Beach House Mix)
I love this. Songs like this cheer me up.
Ruby Suns – Palmitos Park (El Guincho Cover)
the interview show: the teenagers
If you HAVE to listen to only one track this year, it’s “Homecoming” by The Teenagers. It is a laugh-your-ass-off-funny track—and at the same time it somehow manages to say something almost profound about those 20somethings wanting so desperately to be a character from the The Hills.
The Teenagers, however, are more than just that one kick ass song. They skewer geeky teenage obsession on “Starlett Johansson” and comment on those complete strangers so willing to be your new myspace/facebook best friend on “Fuck Nicole.”
Quentin from the band was surprisingly subdued—insisting that his life is not all about alcohol and ketamine, but “has some other stuff as well, like fruits and veggies.” He also revealed the family-friendly lyrics they use when performing the chorus to their controversial “Homecoming” song—“I touched my American crush”—and talked about his own crush on the original 90210’s Shannen Doherty.
