I heard that joke from this comedian I like, Demetri Martin. I got to hang out with him one time and he followed me around with a note pad. He is adorably funny and sincerely weird. You may roll your eyes at his sing-song comedy, but the guy has some good timing and funny jokes. Glitter joke starts at 7:00.

Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective - My Girls

I'm excited about Animal Collective's new album, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Stereogum is already saying it could be the best album of 2009. "My Girls" is my favorite song along with the other two I'm posting. The uplifting synths, Beach Boys type melody and "woo-woos!" make me really happy. Watch the video and buy this album. Shimoda approved. ;)

My Morning Mood

I'm at my parent's house in Santa Barbara drinking coffee and eating father Shimoda's famous potatoes. I'm gearing up to raid our attic filled with high school year books, random belongings from my kendo fighting grandfather and most exciting, my parent's records. Old talent show videos and vintage kimonos are also on the list.

For now I'm having fun watching music videos and planning my playlist for this Tuesday. Yes, that's right, I will be covering for Joey while he is away in India for the week. This Tuesday, January 6 from 10am-2pm on KXLU, 88.9 FM/www.KXLU.com.

Inspired by Slumdog Millionaire and my recent interest in 80's Bollywood music, I will be paying tribute to the colorful country Joey is visiting.

In the meantime, here are some music videos and MPthreeees I'm listening this second day of the new year. dooood...

Happy New Year!
