Flo looks beautiful enough to be fought over by King Kong himself in this bizarrely beautiful video that would make both Luis Buñuel and Grace Jones happy.

Mood Music
As I’m waiting impatiently to receive the “yay” or “nay” phone call from the company I am most excited about working for, I have realized just how stressful all of this really is. The idea of not having a full time job with benefits lined up has turned me into one seriously crazy bitch. The worst feeling: I can’t seem to stop myself.
Every time the phone rings or every time I see the little email wheel spinning to tell me I might be getting a new message, my stomach does flips until I see the phone call is a wrong number and the email is just the same press release I’ve gotten three times over each day for the past week. Needless to say, my usual smile and laugh has been replaced with some minor doom and gloom but some major growls.
Peggy Sue (formerly Peggy Sue and the Pirates) have an album dropping today, Acrobats (stream at Spinner), which suits my mood pretty well but also seems to match the vibes of some of the other artists I’ve been into lately, such as Radiation City and Dark Dark Dark. It is moody, yes, but not quite angry and not dark to the point of feeling as though all is lost.
I’ll enjoy this for now, but I’m really looking forward to when I can comfortably be happy singing “All I Want for Christmas is You” again.

New Jams For Your Playlist: Kimya Dawson, Body Language & More
This post is brought to you by one of my gayest gay baby pictures from 1987:
Sub Swara’s remix of CREEP’s “You (ft. Nina Sky)” is hottt!
Carter Tanton (Tulsa/Lower Dens’ newest addition) sounds a bit Billy Corgan-ish in his single, “Horrorscope“, taken from his upcoming solo album, Freeclouds. For shits and giggles, here’s a second download, “Murderous Joy” – which I really like a lot.
Listen to the multi-genre-spanning new album from Body Language in its entirety over at NPR. It’s a little Vampire Weekend*, mostly Little Dragon – but all awesome (*I am not a Vampire Weekend fan, but stylistically, there are some similarities).
Kimya Dawson’s latest album drops tomorrow and the following single, “Driving Driving Driving” is a painfully fantastic look at parenthood and how terrifying the already-scary world becomes when you need to worry about the future after you’re gone.
Also hot, this video from New Look. Not only is it graphically cool but the song, “Nap On The Bow” is gorgeousness to chill to in any makeshift lounge setting:
Forest Fire “Future Shadows”
Back from a weekend spent in Indiana for mah Boo’s sister-in-law’s baby shower. Fun was had, too much high-calorie food was eaten and the week ahead is going to be a big one.
Later today I should find out if I’m still in the running for a job I’m really psyched about then have a meeting after work to pitch an idea I’ve got. Life right now is scary, exciting and, thankfully, filled with music like this jam from Forest Fire’supcoming release, Staring At The X (Oct. 18th).

My boy Kosha Dillz has managed to make a hot jam about sweatpants. Love this video – my only problem now is being trapped at work when all I want to do is go home, put my sweatpants on and lay on the couch while I get crunk with Kathy Lee and Hoda.
