4. milk-eyed

so i have to admit that joanna newsom was not love at first listen for me. i realize that by saying that i'm losing major indie-hipster points but i am neither indie NOR hipster so it doesn't matter. but you must agree, at first her child-like elf voice is a little jarring and unexpected and very hard to get used to. however, i'm on a new joanna kick. i've been listening more and more to milk-eyed mender and i must say i have changed my fickle mind again. the main reason i made this blog was to show you this picture of her, which in my opinion, captures her folklore style so effortlessly. she's now on my list of girlcrushes. sigh.

3. and our next president will be...

1. he can shake it like a polaroid picture.
2. thus, clearly an outkast fan.
3. thus, pro-blacks.
4. dancing with ellen.
5. thus, pro-gays.
6. getting jiggy with america, one booty-wiggle at a time

clearly it's a close race. somebody this fly up against an old stiff and a lady not hot enough for even her hubby. yeah, low blow, i know. but oh barack, fucking purr.

2. western jazz

my grandpa and i were bored today, sitting in recliners and being bums while i skipped school and he sipped alka seltzer. so in our effortless desperation, we flipped to the western channel.
instead of showing you my top five favorites, i'm going to instead point out my #1 favorite western and my #1 least favorite. curious? duh, of course you are. AHEM.




Shenandoah, my absolute favorite. Not only does James Stewart shine as the blue-eyed well-meaning cowboy father of a million cowboy kids, but Phillip Alford, (who played Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird, 1962) is way convincing as Stewart's disillusioned son, not to mention that he grew up to be rather good-looking... ah

and for the worst:






My Heroes have Always been Cowboys. some films just shouldn't be made. gary busey can't even save this mother. i get irritated just thinking about it. i couldn't even find a not-pixelated picture. piece of shit movie.



in other news, i'm thinking of making a low-budget western. know any cowboys?

1. beginning, baby

alrighty kids. after having a private, super-secret blog for over two years, i decided that it might be a little uplifting to try a blog a bit more lighthearted. enter starfood, where i will post things i'm interested in that you may just get interested in too. besides i've been collecting tidbits of pictures and quotes and ideas for a few months now that i've meant to collect in a zine, but i just don't have the money to make that many xerox copies. plus my printer's busted. so get out your camera, pour a cuppajoe, and sit back and enjoy.
