We, too, once swam over 3,000 miles down the Amazon. Except it was more like the Willamette, for ten miles, and we actually didn't leave the boat. But the delirium thing definitely happened.
04.09One fateful night, Refined Taste and Youthful Abandon got drunk and did the nasty. The condom broke and they made a baby. That's us, and we're The Shit.

04.09Word's don't—nay, can't—describe. Apparently Jeezy even ad-libs in interviews.
04.08Gee, this totally doesn't make up for the fact that Paddy still hasn't finished the third volume of his memoirs.
04.05It's definitely about the free booze.
04.05So now he's picking on girls? We are convinced that The Game has become the Hank Kingsley of hip hop.
04.05Martha Stewart is so powerful that she sends Jews to Hell.
04.04UPDATE: We don't know what to believe in this whole Keef matter.
04.04$%*(&@#! MOVABLE TYPE I WILL KILL YOU!!!!
04.04This is the greatest talk show concept ever. Dave Foley has insomnia and he wants to go sleep. He rambles on about American Idol and politics, chats with friends like Lewis Black and Brendon Frasier, and listens to Rilo Kiley playing sleepy music in his backyard. Then he goes to sleep.
04.03Stereogum still sucks, we guess, but we'll take this version of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" performed by The Hold Steady. Also, the Twins suck.
04.03Daft Punk that you've never heard before. No, really, you've never heard this before.
04.03New Wilco tracks. Also, a new Arctic Monkeys track. You know, just in case anyone still cares.
03.01Yes folks, Jeff Goldblum is actually a jazz pianist. And maybe God.
03.01A whole album's worth of freeness. Thanks, Def Jux.
03.01Move over, Obama. The Santana/Carter pairing is actually a Presidential ticket we could get behind. Is Weezy replacing the dynasty sign with Nixon's V?
03.01"They come on strong with the bounciest bounce of the next year, New Rave left dead in its grave, replaced by the rainbow rhythms of the New Age." Ugh. Almost makes you want to pass over this sublime Hot Chip side project. Don't -- it would be a mistake.
02.27You know how Beyoncé showed up at the Oscars without the Jigga Man? Well, that's because she rolls with us now, and we decided, at the last minute, that we weren't going to show up.
02.27So when did it become embarrassing to like R. Kelly? Oh yeah, when he pissed on that 14-year-old girl. We continue to swim against the tide -- of urine! OH SNAP! we are on fire! (go get us some cranberry juice!) -- and link you to anything and everything Kells.
02.27Trash-talking sex kitten Lily Allen is broke, sad, and homeless. You can come and sleep in our bed, Lily!
02.27Nigerian email scammers are tricked into performing Monty Python's "Dead Parrot Sketch." Hilarious. (via Dead Frog)
02.25Jonah Ray presents The Freeloader's Guide To Easy Living.
02.25"What people don't realize is that Bob Dylan wrote every popular song in the last 35 years. Every single one." The Post Show take a close look at Bob Dylan, the greatest Top-40 songwriter who has ever lived.
02.25So, without these digital shorts, Saturday Night Live wouldn't still be culturally relevant, right?
02.25Last week, Philly MC Peedi Crakk showed up for a great interview on The Sound Of Young America, the best public radio program ever.
02.22Elsewhere, our boy JT drops the remix.
02.22All we needed to hear about Miami Horror was this: "imagine daft punk rolling with prince." (And guess what? They're Australian!)
02.22Super-duper awesome remixers Van She Tech are also from Australia
02.22Home Taping digs deep, says Riot in Belgium are actually from Australia. We say, like, "whoa."
02.22Shakes, the very latest in midnight shout and revelry, tipsy dance and jollity, for hipsters!
02.19We say: "Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles." You ask: "How high?" Educate yourself.
02.19Our favorite Brighton-based dancefloor loonies throw down some acid, Egyptian Lover.
02.19New Redman? With Timbaland? Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Umm, awesome!
02.19Once again, Rex the Dog remixes The Knife and, once again, makes The Knife listenable.
02.19Now usually we don't do this, but, uh: another post from fluo kids. R Kelly has outgrown any kind of pretense; if you leave your girl alone for one second, he will have sex with her. Straight genius; Happy Valentine's Day, indeed.
02.1350 Incredible Rap Songs We Need to Hear Right Now? We mean, if we have to.
02.13Why, when we were your age, Stereogum still posted mp3s! A welcome blast from the past, blogospherically and musically.
02.13Elsewhere, Ted Leo's newest leaks, David Banner's making the greatest rap album ever, and Z-Bo might become an all-star (!?!). It is a wonderful time to be alive.
02.13We're not 100% sure about what these kids are saying, but we completely agree.
02.05Have you heard of this M.I.A. person? Hmm. Neither have we.
02.05We know it don't thrill you, we hope it don't kill you: an aptly titled post from the ever-excellent Fluxblog to help you remember that time when you drank, watched football, and drank.
02.05Oh, c'mon! These Bloc Party links don't even work and—wait, is that a new Maximo track? Yes, folks, scroll down for the upcoming single from the most underrated New New Wavers of 2005, who finally have a fresh LP on the way. And after listening to Our Velocity, well: We. Can't. Wait.
02.05The 49th Law of Power: your dad is Quincy Jones.
02.03Juelz Santana is, roughly, a total beast, slouching towards Bethleham to be born. Dipset!
02.03Beanie and Jay-Z: our sentiments exactly.
02.03We have, so far, not met a Ratatat remix that we didn't like.
02.03We've seen maybe 20 posts on this Black Devil Disco Club thing in the last week or so, but this is the only one worth reading.
02.03It's "The Complete Idiot's Guide To ZZ Top." Yeah, really. In considerable detail.
02.02Yoko Ono and Peaches get it on, over an insistently perky beat. Creepy and frightening, but that's just how we like it.
02.02The Stypod's Andy Beta compares obscure British folk singer Anne Briggs -- a talented but unprolific musician whose accomplishments, while impressive, pale in comparison to those of her ex-lover, Bert Jansch -- to Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, and, finally, the Virgin Mary. This is some seriously bad writing, but we would be remiss if we didn't recommend that you download these mp3s. (Especially if you've only heard the Led Zeppelin version of "Blackwaterside." Shame on you.)
02.02The Gossip's rather obvious and unclever aphorisms about jealousy and failed relationships come off so much better when you can dance to them.
02.02That Rapture album. Still good.
02.02It's not that hot; but what if we were to tell you Weezy was involved? Is that something you might be interested in?
01.25Maybe our favorite song off the about-to-drop !!! album. (We know you want us to make a lame joke involving ellipses or other puncuation marks. Fuck you. We're above that.)
01.25Also, in the non-auditory department, Marathonpacks finds Stephen Malkmus dreamy and comes this close to offering a final solution for non-Aryan indie musicians. Yikes on so many levels.
01.25So it sounds like a major "Nervous Tic Motion" fused with a hook from a shitty (with those guys, is there any other kind?) Stereophonics song called "Have a Nice Day." It's still new Andrew Bird, and—dammit—you're gonna like it.
