hey i was going to write about something else today but i just discovered this on gorillavsbear and it was too good not to share. a british producer/dj named bullion has created an incredible work entitled "pet sounds in the key of dee." you clever ones may have already put together that this is a mash up of sorts (though once you hear it you'll agree that mash up is not an adequate description) of the beach boys' seminal album and pieces of late beatsmith j dilla/jay dee's entire body of work. the result is something pretty spectacular- not in competition with pet sounds or j dilla themselves but certainly greater than the sum of its parts. is it the new grey album? not really... it's not as tied to the original songs as danger mouse's work was to jay-z's, or as accessible, but artistically it's leaps and bounds above. if you are into the beach boys or j dilla or beats or interesting things, i cannot recommend this highly enough. alright i am going on and on when you should just hear the damn thing for yourself. this is my favorite track so far, but choosing one to rip out of the whole was not easy.
and by the way, THE WHOLE ALBUM IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD ON BULLION'S MYSPACE.
download that shit right away and make your day better than it was.

This is totally Jawsome. Possibly even Sharkdive-worthy.
Ever heard of The Avalanches?
yeah i am a big big avalanches fan, but there's something about specifically reassembling the many brilliant moments of pet sounds (ESPECIALLY the bicycle horn in "you still believe in me") that sets this apart from the avalanches. maybe if i had a stronger relation to the music sampled in "since i left you" i would feel the same way about it.
it's strange-- I had been listening compulsively and repeatedly to Pet Sounds for the past three weeks. and now this just makes it better.
hahaha, thanksgiving cereal FTW
Dont let me down.
because god only knows where I'd be without you.
I found your comics by looking up "scoliosis cartoon", I would be quite honored if I were you. That day I had teased my friend about his bookbag being to high up on his back. He told me that he didn't want scoliosis like the rest of us. The best comeback I could think of was "nerd", not the greatest. Now I think I've gone on for far too long, I just wanted to say that your comics are hilarious.
