Is it just me or have music videos become really awesome lately? I went through this crazy music video stage in middle school, where MuchMusic was basically crack to me. Then I lost interest for years and years, THEN Youtube was invented, and now I can watch stuff like this:
Only in high quality of course. Do music videos pretty much live on the internet now? Who actually watches them on TV? Sigh….sometimes life produces really hard questions.

Oh hells yeah, Fleetwood Mac are stopping by our lil’ city with “Unleashed: Hits Tour 2009″. I pretty much live by the song “Go Your Own Way” and I WILL be that drunk chick screaming it louder than anyone else, so help me God. There’s something so sadistically satisfying about watching really old rockers, but in any case Stevie Nicks is such a badass; she might as well be the only member in the band for all I care. This woman is infamous for having done so much coke that she can put a BELT through her NOSE. Seriously effed.
But wait, there’s more! Check out this amazingly 80s video; I have never seen anyone so dead in the eyes. This is what drugs do to you kids!
Also, is it some kind of rule that drummers have to be the most creepy-looking member of any band? Just saying.

N.A.S.A (North America South America) have a debut album coming out on Feb. 17th and it’s going to kill, actually SLAY, destroy, annihilate, whatever. If this song (my favorite in the whole wide world at the moment) is any indication of what’s to come, we’re all screwed. Please enjoy this Youtube video/douchey picture of Kanye, since my Interweb skills are not advanced enough for me to know how to post mp3s:

What’s up with all this fog? Fucking weird. Everytime I walk down a dark street alone in this shit I feel like the Headless Horseman is going to gallop out of the mist and throw a pumpkin at me. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this photo from the front page of the Vancouver Sun (which I just realized is a really douchey and oxymoronic newspaper name):

That is the view from Cypress, and downtown is under all that white.

I feel strangely prompted to say how much fun Glory Days at the Biltmore was. Usually I cringe at going out on Saturday nights because shit’ll be expensive, but the Biltmore crew actually throws us a bone with the prices. Thanks to last year’s renovation, it’s not too shabby a place to be partying in either. Sometimes, it’s refreshing not to be somewhere completely skeezy. Just sometimes. Also, it’s nice to have a legit party night at a place that has MULTIPLE BATHROOM STALLS (sorry Sweatshop, but if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it). My memory of the music is a bit foggy but I remember being happy with the variety/danceability. Last but not least, I only met ONE creeper: he looked like someone’s visiting Moroccan uncle, and he approached me by waving his hands up and down in front of my body like he was casting a spell or doing Reiki.
All in all, cheap drinks+sweet set-up+big bathroom+hot tunes+few creepers= a big A+ from Gingerkid.

Although it was really prompted by the movie version of Girl, Interrupted, (who could possibly perform a better crazyfest than Winona Rider, Angelina Jolie, and Brittany Murphy) I think my fascination with psychotic female characters started with lil’ old Alice and her hallucinatory Wonderland. Something about Alice’s clueless innocence when she states “But I don’t want to go among mad people” made me fall in love; since every aspect of Wonderland is a product of her own twisted brainwaves, that makes her the craziest bat in the cave! Although Alice is an unbeatable starting point, there are tons of books about insanity and the female mind. Here’s a list of some of my favorites, a.k.a Gingerkid presents “Crazy Bitches 101″:
