The Greatest Song Ever Recorded?

Tammi Terrell & Marvin Gaye, "Ain't no Mountain High Enough"

Abstract:

Since its original 1967 recording  featuring Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell on lead vocals, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough has gone on to become one of the most often recorded — yet least fuck up-able song of all time.

Hypothesis: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough cannot be fucked-up, no matter who is singing it, therefore, it is the greatest song ever recorded.

I. I Just Give Up.

I don’t even have words.  I’m stuffing gift bags, the rest of America is worried about health care, there are earthquakes in the South Pacific and January Jones is talking about sharks.  Don’t get me wrong.  I watched the episode about them on 60 Minutes, it was really riveting and I was appalled, but why are talking to John McCain?  Isn’t he from a state that’s landlocked? I’m too tired to investigate but something doesn’t add up.

This guy made a bunch of drawings of characters from He- Man and the Masters of the Universe dressed in modern day clothes, then made a website about it:

I imagined them somewhere in the indie/hipster/fashion-scene, as if they were doing a photoshooting [sic] for some magazine. I’m a fashion-nerd myself, so I dressed them up in things that really excist [sic] and that I like.

Rock on.

Text: The piers are out…that sucks. I bet you froze. Sorry I was so short yesterday. We’re trying to move to get this party planned…blah blah. The Kleins will be in Chicago for the marathon on the 11th to support Kerstin running. Will you be around?

How’s the new job? When are we going to a packer game? We need to plan a ski/snowmobiling trip?

Color Me Stoked

So last night I went to the Phoenix concert in Central Park at the Rumsey Playfield with Seth.  We were all set for a night of bopping around to 1901, Lisztomania, Everything is Everything and Run Run Run with super hipsters in skinny jeans, neon American Apparel and unwashed hair. Turns out though, concerts in Central Park don’t receive the hipsters but more like really annoying  yuppies.  I don’t know why but I was really sad to not see any hipsters.

Seth unimpressed with preppy fatty.

I am scared of the guys around me. Seth is flipping them off.

The concert it self was freaking awesome.  They played for about an hour and a half and their set list was full of both new songs and old ones.  They opened with Lisztomania and closed with 1901 (my favorite song).  They sounded great live and had an amazing presence on stage.  PLUS, they are super adoraballs and I may or may not have a crush on each band member.  Why? They’re French, in an awesome band, French, band, marginally cute, band…umm yeah. Anyway. Phoenix in concert. If you ever have the chance to see them live, do it. You won’t be sorry.

Thomas Mars, Vocals (Fun Fact: Has a kid with Sofia Coppola and UPDATE: Dating Mary-Louise Parker? Homeboy knows how to pick the ladies. UPDATE #2: Meredith has brought it to my attention that I can’t read and MLP is dating a Mars with a different first name.  High five me.)

Deck D’Arcy, Bass (Wait, is that lipstick?)

Laurent Brancowitz, Guitar (So French. So Awesome.)

Christian Mazzalai - Guitar (Not the cutest, but I'd still hit it. He's French.)
