Retro Good Morning

By Glenn 

One year ago today was a much different time in our country's history. Al Franken was sworn in as US Senator after a grueling, legally exhaustive waste of everyone's time. Health care reform was on the verge of being passed and Iraq banned visits to Saddam Hussein and Elvis Presley's graves.

Here at OYIT, Ingrid wrote a late good morning post (not unlike the one you are reading now). In it, she talks about obsessively washing her hair and introduces us to the band Yeasayer. Let's take a trip back to a more innocent time in our lives with this retro good morning post.

What the heck?! Where is this morning's good morning post? I thought something felt a little off, and now I realize this is it -- the absence of OYIT's daily greeting, which I have come to rely upon as much as oxygen, fresh water, and Pert Plus Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner.

What do you mean, "insert rest of post here"?! There IS no rest of this post! I'm not even supposed to BE here right now! I'm at work, people! WORKING! Yes, I'm still working out here in AZ...just because I live with hippies on a commune does not necessarily mean that I am one. I also still take showers, though the frequency has decreased noticeably.

So I just stopped by to admonish you for slacking on the good mornings ("you" being a general term to include anyone who has ever written one before [excepting myself since I don't have internet at my house since hippies don't believe in technology unless it is the sort of technology that helps transport them to a DMB concert or bring Jerry back from the dead].)

I feel like I should at least post a video while I'm here. One of my new hippie friends introduced me to Yeasayer (reminds me a lot of Fleet Foxes, who everyone but Jake and Benito Mussolini loves). Then he tried to sleep with me. Everyone here tries to sleep with everyone else, but you'll be happy to know I've remained relatively chaste so far.



Good Morning!

Sunday Morning Music Videos

By Jake 

It's Sunday and you just returned from Sunday mass. What is the thing you want to do the very most right now? That's right, go on the internet and watch some music videos personally picked out by me. Enjoy!


This video by Yeasayer is great. They go to some apartment and play somebody's piano. This is the last part of the Yeasayer Take Away Show, and the whole show can be viewed here if you're into it.


Magnolia Electric Co are a great band, but doesn't their singer look like French Stewart with a mustache? Plus, his hat is seriously stupid.


This extremely long video for the Dan Deacon song "Woof Woof," which is a muffled rap song, is seriously weird. The music doesn't start until 6 minutes into the video, but you'll be too busy being confused to notice. I hope they spin this off into a TV show.

um, good morning? july 7 late edition
