Has The World Gone Insane?

-  The new season of Mad Men premiered tonight.  No spoilers here.  While Betty Draper might be super hot, and pretty much everyone who has eyes would want to dip it in there, I'd never want to get stuck with that stupid bitch for the rest of my life.  The show is still unreal, the episode went well.  I don't think it can hold up to ANY of the episodes from last season though.

-  The new Deerhunter 7" is absolutely dope.  The song "Revival" is unreal.  I love these guys so much.  For some reason when I heard about them I didn't want to give them a chance but I accidentally had them playing on my computer while I laid in my bed and roasted a super serious j.  I went into a half trance half dream and was never the same after Microcastle finished.  So I sweat these guys.  This band can do no wrong in my eyes.  Other suggestion:  Get the Jay Reatard/Deerhunter split and listen to the songs they do.  They're awesome, and Jay's "Oh It's Such A Shame" mimics their long drawn out build ups.  Lose yourself.

-  Some dickhead said that the new Arcade Fire (offficially leaked) is comparable to O.K. Computer.  I'd like to find him and beat him with a tire iron.  This is not only hyperbole but it's baseless.  O.K. Computer is a fucking untouchable masterpiece from start to finish.  It's an opus combining random electronic noises and harkens back to Radiohead's old music (when they used guitars and played instruments).  While the new Arcade Fire may be good, it doesn't hold a fucking candle.  Whoever honestly believes what that dude said is an amateur, and that guy is dead to me.

-  Here's a great one.  The Wall Street Journal says (about a Khmer Rouge leader):

"A U.N.- backed tribunal found a key leader of Cambodia's notorious Khmer Rouge regime guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to 35 years in prison, marking its first successful prosecution after more than a decade of work to bring the group's top officials to justice."

They forgot to mention that Henry Kissinger was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and that he is responsible for the deaths of maybe 10 times as many people.  Guess what?  He'll never be prosecuted or even brought to justice for just one of those murders.
