the motherfucking list: Round Two

Jules Winnfield: I'm back to this motherfucking blog with some more selections. One thing I should make clear is that this isn't one of those year-end lists. Or top ten lists. Those are as interesting as the excuses I encounter in collection - "Some more time man, please!" - After about the 10th time I'd rather put a bullet in my head than the poor sucker on his knees in front of me. No this is a motherfucking list. If you want a ranked list: go fuck yourself.

(JEB: Watch the language asshole!)

Jules: Like I said "Go fuck yourself"....anyways enough of this shit: The Motherfucking List part two.

Hot Chip
"Boy From School"

This video is pretty trippy shit. But even if it wasn't awesome, I'd still put this song on here. The song has this wonderfully mastered electronic dance-pop flowing under the sweet but sad "We tried, but we don't belong." It exudes a wistfully melancholy that touches even the most unsentimental bones.



Candi Staton
"His Hands"

This gospel track is full of sorrow and strength. Its powerful appeal lies in the authentic nature of the characters in the track's story who have all been dragged up from Staton's past. And it is in the climax of the song that she gives us a glimpse of the strength which helped her survive an abusive husband. Gospel and I usually mix like water and oil, but Staton brings the song alive through her own pain and struggle. So here is my props: you have made the motherfucking list! Be proud.

I also feel like I should add: If her ex-husband's shadow ever crossed my door, I'd pump his womanly torso full of steel, slap cement boots on his feet and dump his ass in a toxic waste land fill.

Midlake
"Roscoe"

This track makes you think of some tranquil backwoods. If I was an earthy, sentimental type I would like it more.

Speaking of backwoods, I whacked some guy in a forest last week . A real shame, God rest his soul! But I helped his bride get over it pretty quickly.


(I should point out this isn't the official video, but rather somebody's creation)

The Thermals
"Here's Your Future"

I picked this track because it has this bratty-punk sound mixed with a bleak dystopian outlook. Its so warm, I couldn't possibly resist not spreading it.

Of course if I was Hutch Harris' father I'd tell his whiny-ass his future: Picking weeds on my lawn until your 18th birthday, then you can move the fuck out. And don't ever come back!
