Every hipster needs a Zombie. and another pretty video I can't stop watching.. while we're at it.

1) Every good hipster loves everything things at a certain distance to be zombified. you know its true. I mean for instance: the Walking Dead. helleeww! get yo hands on this show. or just stop by my house and i will watch it with you and quote every line right before it happens. yep, i am a walking spoiler alert. I get it after many years of practice living with miss caitlin susan laflash.

2) i don't really like a lot of video games. they have the tendency to take up people's time and in general hinder their aptitude towards caring and/or doing other things with their lives and/or the real world. BUT, and its a mild BUT, if i do play video games, i sure do love me some zombie-killin'. or in general killing things within the science-fiction realm of video games.... Science-fiction video games nowadays can be pretty entertaining to play for oh let's say 10 minutes or watch someone else play for oh let's say 10 minutes (and then its not fun anymore). Are you rolling your eyes? I mean science-fiction is much better than killing "real" humans in video games. no, that shit is not cool. i mean you can't just go around killing humans in video game land. that's just strange. that type of killing is saved for real life (new rolling stone magazine, i am looking at you shaking my head at all those crazy fuckers we send to war). no no, for me, only robots, monsters, and zombies will do for my 10 minutes of entertainment (i hope everyone smells the cynicism as well as sarcasm in my writing.. because its there, this society is ridiculous. i mean there are 12 year olds out there playing call of duty just WAITING to kill osama bin laden. it. is. sick.).

(Ranting!).... Anywho, this game satisfies my urges to kill some bitches. zombies. and the music is pretty rad too.

And this little gem is just wonderfully made and the music is entrancing.

LOOKING INTO THE PAST.

I am more and more drawn to really creative photography that transcends boundaries. there is a little too much of these natural/realistic photographs that people take with their $1300 nikon camera plaguing the internets ( a.k.a. flickr) these days. i think its great when people play around, be creative, and change it up. this idea is one of my new favorites. what a cool idea. I want to try this.

VINTAGE.

Old photos make life back then seem noble and racey all at the same time. I want to be there (enter back to the future reference).

 oh lala vintage mac.

I WANT SUMMER RIGHT MOW.

I want summer to come!!! Minnesota is the best place to experience summer. I can't wait until my friends and I can go camping and play outside without having to wear 9 layers.

sniped here.

Daily photographer find from the ever-inspiring flickr. and boy is it a good one! love the colors. love the lace. love the kitty. love everything. bastarde sensible, can we be friends? i swear my cat won't kill your kitty... ?

MR. JUSTIN VERNON

Justin Vernon sure does have his miracle hands (or brain) touching a little bit of everything these days. well really its been all days since around the year 2000 but who's counting. I'm still really enjoying what he is doing lately though. Not only does he have a unique gift for creating eclectic music with a real spirit and romance for chill vibes, but he has the heartbreak to prove it (if i recall correctly, the whole album Emma, Forever Ago was created and recorded after vernon suffered a major break-up, moved back to northern WI and lived in a cabin for three months to recover. and the result? BEST ALBUM EVER). You can hear his emotion in that whole album. the song posted below is a great depiction of what those months in N. Wisco were like. Vernon has also been able to collaborate with the right people/groups that make his talent shine even more. Bon Iver. DeYarmond Edison. Land of Talk. Volcano Choir. and more recently. GAYNGS. St. Vincent. Anais Mitchell. Kanye West.

Don't worry, I am only borderline in love. And... just to repeat this. he is from Wisconsin... so by default he is amazing and better than everyone else. haha. don't hate, I have plenty of Minnesnowta and midwest love to go around.

This is one of my favorite videos and songs by bon iver. the video takes place in WI.

love this one by volcano choir.

lastly, a great song by DeYarmond Edison.

BOOM.

HAPPY SUNDAY.
