Gays, its summer 2010 so... EVERYBODY TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS

awwww xp

I did "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" and The Killers' "Human" at karaoke a few weeks ago.

I don't see the point of karaoke if you don't know the script -- it's like acting. Staring frozen at the monitor -- like these lame chicks singing "Hot Summer Nights" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" for the first time -- is beyond offensive.

right? spielberg lady last night was a whole measure behind on her song (i forget what it was) and it was just like 'man, c'mon with this'

yeah but the worst thing about Karaoke is the people who do it all the time and are really good at it. I'd rather see a frozen chick than some Karaoke expert.

(i learned my lesson the hard way after realizing i don't know how the verses of 'careless whisper' go)

picking a karaoke song is prolly like deciding on a tattoo, it has to declare something definite abt you and i'm not ready for that kind of commitment. also i dont want to sing in front of ppl

that song is hard! i crashed and burned on it at karaoke one time

xp about careless whisper

You guys are invited to my next performance of "Young Americans."

i love how everyone does karaoke with like, no shame

I go to this total bro karaoke bar, and on my birthday two years ago I was almost lynched after I chose Debbie Harry's "I Want That Man."

the place stevie and i went to had people singing sublime and that travie mccoy song (ugh)

were you pointing at bros while you sang?

yes! (my bros though)

J0rdan! before you return to Mizzou we're going to karaoke.

o god you guys please be careful

loving you? that's tough. do you do falsetto?

hell yes I do falsetto! (i sing most of it in my natural baritone range tho and only slip into falsetto for that part)

respect!

Rev, I'd love to see you. I think I missed my chance during EMP a couple of years ago.

i make these same facial expressions btw

i don't think i'd ever done karaoke as of emp a couple years ago tbh! this is a relatively recent thing for me.

other fave karaoke song is "erotic city" cause i can sing all the parts in their original octaves :)

oh ok -- I thought you went to that rockcrit FAP at the karaoke bar.

if i was doing a minnie Ripperton song it would def be "Les Fleur".

no, i think that was the year i was a couple months too young and i ended up going to see this movie (brilliant btw) with a dude i met at the emp conf instead

will somebody wear me to the fair?
will a lady pin me to her hair?

that song is just the best

it is

I always want them to have this at the places I go, and I've only found ONE that does.

also, i'm gonna say it because i feel it: i miss Bimble.

I miss Bimbs too.

I want "Teardrops" everywhere I go but only W&W singing it.

btw the album on which you'll find it isn't great, alas. But Love Wars is a must, must own.

J called out on me at the last moment but we are supposed to hang tomorrow. Trying to get this girl I met to go with me instead.

And she said yes! Yay!

hmmmmm

u gonna open the door for her 'n stuff?

Hi boys! How was your (respective) day?

mm! fine and u cutey pie?

I've on my fourth glass of wine, am blasting "Teardrops," and waiting for you to bring coffee ice cream, corey.

Okay, just a dull work day. Coffee ice cream sounds amazing right now.

amaaazing

Everyone come over then. Bring a bottle of good rioja then.

Exactly like that.

My job is right by the Chi river and I found this spot right on the banks where no one seems to go. It seems like the kind of place I'd sit with a boy and hug each other and watch the ducks and kayakers.

still a bit headache-y from last night but right now very full of delicious mexican food, would like to crash out on my bed 'cept it's covered in all of the detritus i've collected from 2 years in this apt

Are you moving?

yeah, back home w/ my parents to nj. accentuating the positives though - still fairly close to the city but also it'll be kind of nice to escape for a bit

Oh duh, I knew that, it just slipped my mind. You'll have to come to NYC when I visit next month!
