methodist amendment mashup : its what you get for going on youtube maxie

By

a lot has been said over the latest rage in methodism, taking your political viewpoints to youtube. one thing maxie dunham, who seems to have started this should have done his homework on is the concept of mashup’s. cause buddy, you’ve now been mashedup. i think the fact that someone did this is brilliant, rather slanted, but brilliance as i am sure the egos that decided this vehicle was the way to go didn’t see something like this happening.

monday music : my uncool favorite song

By

there is something about josh joplin that i really love. he’s only had one marketable hit, but then again, the grateful dead only had one top hit song too.. anyways, i just love his obscure song “i am not the only cowboy.” if i had to guess why, its resonates with me lyrically. i like the white boy psuedo rap stuff cause i might actually be able to pull that off. note: he does a lot of talking & joking before this song actually starts, ffwd to about a minute & half in.
