What I Learned From Sarah Palin, or Sometimes Weird Is Just Right

posted Sunday, 30 November 2008

     I did not care for Sarah Palin, I think that was abundantly clear. However, I did learn one valuable thing from her and that is, it's OK to wear a little more blush than I normally do. I've always tended to be conservative with the cheek color, but ever since she came (and went, thankfully), I realized that I could do with a little more contour to my cheeks, hence I'm living on the wild side and applying my blush a little more liberally.

     This has absolutely nothing to do with today's song, other than I think it's a really strange song and I also think that a beauty lesson is an odd thing to glean from someone you can't abide. I promise you'll be able to abide this song, though. It's weird, this is true, but in a way that seems just right.

     Seb Roberts is originally from Canada and this is his second record on Spoilt Victorian Child Records, which is run by a blog friend of mine. I've learned to trust Simon's musical instincts, which, by extension, I hope you will, too.

Seb Roberts--"Dinner With My Doppleganger" mp3 off Yeah, Well, Coué's Dead (buy--comes out Dec. 2nd)

Curses I was literally about to post that track when I thought I'd see if it was on Hype Machine, and what do you know you beat me by a couple of hours haha. It is odd but in a good way as you say.

I had a slightly different dilema with Palin... finding someone so repugnant strangely attractive. Thank god she's gone for now

ha! that's funny, because it took hours and hours for hype to pick it up today. i thought maybe it wouldn't because largehearted boy had it up before me, but i've found that if you doctor the id tag a wee bit, sometimes that fools hype. so i say you should post it anyway! about palin, oh, i know what you mean, too. i think she's a very attractive woman, until she opens her mouth! : )

She's not going away anytime soon. I hear she's getting a book deal, so you'll see her face all over the bookstores in a bit!

I'm so glad you wrote about this because I found myself growing more and more fond of the updo/glasses combo, even as I wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole.

Nat's right, she's not going away.

i actually like her hair better down, myself. ;-) "swallow me whole"--what song is that from? it's all i can think of since i read your comment.


all mp3s are for sampling purposes only. you like it? you buy it. you want me to take it down? let me know. and for the uninitiated, if you wish to listen to a song, click on the little blue arrows and they will stream. thanks, your host and music lover, mjrc.
