Faster, Pussycat! Thrill! Thrill!

January 31, 2008 at 7:25 pm (Internet, phenomena)

Who knew the Thriller dance would be such an enduring fad? Latest iteration , on a London subway train:

In a movie!

In a wedding!

In Bollywood!

And, my absolute favorite: in a prison in the Philippines!

I’ve never been prouder of my Filipino heritage.

You are what you… listen to?

January 18, 2008 at 3:03 pm (Music) (, )

My ipod, on all-songs-shuffle mode, just spit out the following in succession:

  • Ladies of Cambridge – Vampire Weekend
  • C.R.E.A.M. – Wu-Tang Clan
  • Daniel – Elton

If these were your only 3 pieces of evidence, you might naturally conclude that I was an indie hipster harboring gangsta pretensions.  Also, that I was supremely gay. Like, ’70s-flamboyant, nobody-noticed-at-the-time-but-in-hindsight-head-smackingly-obvious gay.  Please draw your own hasty conclusions.  But first, you shuffle your ipod and see what the musical runes have to say about you.
