I Can Funk You

It's no One Direction, but the only direction after hearing them is home. This song is mystery to me. What's its point? So far-- other than maybe pointing out background misinformation or puppetry of people, I learned a bit more about how to establish a green screen studio sans the building. Oh, and also how to fake a live audience.

From it's 2006 album The Warning, Hot Chip's "Over and Over."

Over and over, and over, and over

Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal,

The joy of repetition really is in you.

He Could Play Guitar

I watched Chronicle when it first came out in February. I absolutely loved the film. Great back story (which I can relate to, sans the abusive father) and the relate-able shy, inward high school charm.

Tonight, we rented the Blu-ray version (which looks incredible, BTW), and it was like sitting in that theatre seat. After watching Andrew (the main character) finally stand-up to his father, he needed money to buy his mother's important medicine. To do that, he stole money. And in order to do that, he dressed up as a firefighter (which his dad was) and while he gearing up, I recognized a voice.

Here is that recognized voice. From his 1972 concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust."

So where were the spiders/ While the fly tried to break our balls

Just the beer light to guide us/ So we bitched about his fans

And should we crush his sweet hands?
