Clap Your Hands for the Snow Yo
Hey, what’s this shit? Tiny little white things are falling from the sky in Minnesota. Ahh Ha. Dance! I have the absolute best party track of the 2K3 to dance to in the snow. “Get By” (4.3MB), by Talib Kweli is just too damn tight. What a huge anthem to get the new year started on the good foot. The song has this amazing little sixteenth note clap track in the background that just makes it move. And Kweli’s flow on top shakes mountains. Then comes that crazy beautiful hook that makes you want to lick flag poles just to see if your tongue sticks. What a song! In a weird coincidence, the new Bjork song whom Spike Jones directed the video (link via Buffoonery by way of The Reverse Cowgirl Blog) for also features the same clap track. Clap tracks are cool. Note: that cricket thing, stalking bjork in the video, is no friend of mine.

The collective behavioral age of both the missus and I after watching last night’s South Park episode: a blissful 23.7 years.

The Total number of times that South Park was exalted to “best television show ever”: 8.

Best rock band to ever play South Park Elementry School’s Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance: Dio — as in Ronnie James Dio.
