Whitney Houston R.I.P.
my heart is heavy today. i'm very SAD about the passing of Whitney Houston. yet another light succumbed to the pitfalls of untreated addiction -- one helluva demon to wrestle with. her struggle is over but her voice will go on. much respect for her talent & big LOVE FOR WHITNEY herself for sharing it for as long as she was able, in spite of her trials & tribulations. may she rest in peace...

videos i like
Miike Snow - video by Andreas Nilsson
my friend from Saturday Night Live
got me in 30 Rock the night of the infamous Lana Del Rey performance. i
didn't even know she was the musical guest till i showed up. i have to
admit, i find her phenomena quite intriguing - like watching a train
wreck in slow motion. i actually enjoy two of her songs. sadly, she
couldn't have been more awkward & terribly out of tune; like she's trying to reach several different voices without ever really achieving that goal... anyway, kudos to Kristen Wiig for her flawless impersonation, which actually defends the poor Lana:
finally, here's the most ridiculous spot i'm loving right now:
