Grizzly Bear's Volkswagen Commercial

Good for them…I guess.

Closing Tentacles:

  • Should more indie bands allow their songs be in commercials?
  • Is it possible to sell out?
  • Should the fact that a song is in a commercial to help a product sell more units detract from how cool it is?
  • Can you ever stop loving Grizzly Bear?

Aesthetic Octopus Radio Show Live Blog 2/6/10

Every week we will be live blogging our radio show. Post requests/comments/famous-sayings in the comments section. Call in at 757-221-3268 to talk to us on the airz!

Would Lady GaGa’s relationship just turn out to be a bad romance? Are we really lame for making such a pun? Should she hook up with James Franco and James Franco’s pillow?

The Sigur Ros documentary is playing at the Kimball Theater two weeks from today. Let’s go see it as a family!

Kids know how to get viral these dayz…

  • Are the kidz already taking over?
  • Could you have come up with this at 5 or 7? Could you come up with this now?
  • Should keyboards be alphabetical?

Lady GaGa + Joanna Newsom collab the greatest thing everz?!!!

We should all get radon checks!!!! A healthy family is a good one.

Backs out of contractz

Justin Bieber unfortunately backed out oh his contract to perform a Soulja Boy medley with Lady GaGa on our show. So blame him. Lady GaGa isn’t here because she is busy getting a boyfriend.

If anyone wants to come into the station and sing Soulja Boy you are more than welcome!!!

Woman are a natural resource

  • Should we start offshore drilling for women? Mining? Do we need alternative sources of women to sustain our civilization?

New Favorite Spam. In reference to a post on a Longcat Fleece Scarf. “Bullet Proof Vests are so important. I have a wife and kids to think about. Always safety first.”

  • Can someone please think about the kids and make a Bullet Proof Longcat Fleece Scarf?!

Snowpocalyspe

Rememberz to lock your doors and windows!!!! Burglar No Burglaring!

Is wearing a live cat on your shirt cool or trying to hard?

  • Is this offensive?

END SHOW!
