Getting Skinny Fat

I either lost the motivation or have less time to work out. You could make an argument for either case. In an effort to not get a belly, I am doing something really practical - eating less. It is amazing. I eat slower and when my body says, "Hey boss, we feel good in here. No more." I listen. Now, I don't have muscle, but I am not skinny, so I look thin, so that makes me skinny fat.

I like this band, St. Lucia. 

And then she lost her job....

but it was okay because she had a great night with that guy from that one TV show..... and she never saw him again.



I love The Killers BTW.

Animal Noises

By the time you watch this, it will be viral....

Reggie Watts

I had never heard of Mr. Reggie Watts until last night. He is very, how to say it, original. He is entertaining, talented, vulgar (in some other videos that I will not post. Search at your own risk.), and intriguing. He must have ADD, because it isn't easy following him. I accept him easier because he looks like a crazy man.

Here he is at TED.


And then on Conan:

Female Lead Vocals

TRUEISM: Girls that are in a band (notice I said bands, which eliminates the "popular" ones, i.e. P!NK, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Etc.) are awesome. When they drop their vocal cords on tune, it makes your hair stand up. It feels so good and right you wish they had that on tap. You'd become an heavy drinker of that feeling.

I wish I had found these women, but I didn't. In no particular order, here are some (somewhat recent and are all pretty much in indie) ladies that do it well.

it has been awhile since i've checked up on the big pink - here is a newer song. i know nothing about this band other than i like their songs (especially dominos).

I want these

Take a look at this cool local company, Jay Bird. I want these headphones.

Check out goal keeper for RSL, Nick Rimando, in action.

Twin Shadow

I have listened to this song a lot for the past week. Sorry if you can't appreciate good music. Maybe you should listen to more of your garbage crap music RAP, most of it nowadays is crap. See this LINK and this LINK.

But like I was saying, this song is great.

White Panda

Gotta thank Steve-O for introducing me to this artist. Here is my favorite song. It energizes me. Enjoy.

F.O.T.C helping the children out

If you don't know who the Flight of the Conchords are, take some time and educate yourself, read a book or something... make something of yourself. Cow.


Here are some quick points of interest:
1)Bret and Jermaine constitute the talent of the Flight of the Conchords.
2)They are New Zealand's second most popular folk band.
3)They wrote the lyrics for the newest Muppet movie.

The following video is part of their charity work with CureKids; it's worth watching. It is a little long... skip the first 8 mintues or so if you are pressed for time. Enjoy.

Prince.

I bet you didn't know that Prince's actual birth name is Prince Rodgers Nelson. He also was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is 54 years old. PETA has voted him as the sexist vegetarian. He is a Jehovah Witness. He said that it wasn't a conversion, but more a "realization"; "It's like Morpheus and Neo in The Matrix." Despite his odd fashion and feminine traits, he is not gay. Not even close, according to multiple marriages and girl friends...maybe he is...but I doubt it.

I have heard of Prince, I mean, who hasn't. I can honestly say that before this summer I had never listened to one of his songs. One night I was just looking through Dave Chappelle clips and I found this series called 'True Hollywood Stories,' featuring Charlie Murphy (lots of obscene language FYI). After hours of watching all of the videos, I determined that I needed to know Prince. He seemed like a man for all seasons. Eccentric? Sure. Dynamite? Obviously.

I created a Pandora station, plugged in and was floored. Most of his lyrics are sopping with sexual content, but the dudes voice and beat, off the looptie loop. He can raise that voice to glass breaking octave, then beat you up slow with that deep baritone. I am no musician, but I think I know a jam that people would wanna get down to. He's bad baby. I suggest 'Kiss' and 'Little Red Corvette.'

all day.

if you have heard of girl talk, good for you, i haven't. so here is a little mashup. listen at your own

dis·cre·tion.

Girl Walk // All Day from jacob krupnick on Vimeo.

I like them. They are funny.

Introducing, if I haven't already, THE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS.

Whitney: decent at singing.

Music that TRANSCENDS through the ages... and always will.

Does this song sound familiar? That's because it is. Ever seen Space Jam? Yeah. The greatest soundtrack of all time. Take the time to listen to those tunes.



I heard O.P.P., by Naughty by Nature during the super bowl, so of course I came home and YouTubed it. Which took me down the rabbit hole. I couldn't get out. Two hours later, I wished I had been born a decade earlier.






And you CANNOT beat Marky Mark. Why did he give it up??????????????????????

Job Opening: Lip Sync Professional

I have seen an increase of music videos with people lip syncing. Its got me thinking, how did they get their start? Were they a back up in other videos, just an extra? Maybe they posted their own video on Youtube.... I dunno, if you do, lemme know. I think I could/want to do that. I'll do anything for a dollar. 



This dude kills it... stellar moves. Just mint.

The Century Post.

This is the 100th post. We are not going to recap my presidency thus far. We are not going to stand and cheer while I wave my bat (Cricket loves their century marks). We are not going to make a cake either.... I know that if you add up the posts it doesn't equal 100. To be honest some posts were deleted. But nonetheless there has been 100 posts, just to clarify.

Marty Robbins, an oldie, but a goodie. He also had a song in Rango.

This post is a prelude of a post to come. I suggest that in preparation for that post you watch, Silverado, The Magnificent Seven, any John Wayne movie, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Be prepared to share what you get out of your viewing. Remember, there are no wrong answers or ideas, just ones that don't make sense.

P.S. I love Feleena... I mean, I heart Feleena.

Time to go AWOL.

I credit my brother Daniel for introducing me to this band, Awolnation.



People, Sail, Kill Your Heroes, and Guilty Filthy Soul are some good ones.

One less lonely girl....

I want to make something very clear, Justin Bieber is not gay. I do not understand where all this animosity came from? What did he do wrong; sang some really catchy tunes at the age of fourteen, kicks it with Usher, and is hooking up with ladies almost double his age. Or maybe it is because he was found on youtube? Wait, its because he only has a mom. NO! It is because he is a Canuk! Screw our peaceful neighbors to the north, all of them are jerks. Not one talented person has come from Canada (Celine Dion, Jim Carey, Steve Nash, Kurt Warner, Conan O'Brien, to name a few more worthless citizens of Canada).  I guess I did  fail to mention that he got caught smoking weed.... you're right he is a total fagot. Do you see how foolish it is to hate him? It is really idiotic. People just hate greatness. Kesha on the other hand is utterly obnoxious and has terrible lyrics. She is a legit target for hating, but Justin? Nah. Hey, JB, I got your back. Don't worry about all the haters.
