Korean Presidents

Onward with the Kickstarter rewards! Today I'm posting two more Mudlust Bedroom Concerts. The first is a reward for Matt in the form of 2NE1's "내가 제일 잘 나가 (I Am The Best)". To all Korean speakers, I'm sorry. The other is a reward for Ben, "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America, one of the most formative bands of my childhood. It was the end of the day and things were getting tired and hairy which may explain the spoken word passage and the part where I go into the corner like it's the end of The Blair Witch Project. Only three more Bedroom Concerts to go before we pack up and move Mudlust central down to LA. Enjoy!


"Peaches" is after the jump along with my final rankings of James Bond movies and theme songs. Fuck you, Quantum of Solace, what a letdown.





James Bond movies in order of personal preference. Skyfall may sink in my estimation in the future but right now I'm pretty psyched on it. Was not prepared for how shitty Quantum of Solace would be, though. It's fighting with the bad Brosnan movies at the bottom which, though they may be qualitatively worse, are definitely more fun to watch than the inelegantly edited action sequences and heavy-handed Jason Bourne-isms of Quantum. Woof. That Jack White and Alicia Keyes song doesn't do anyone any favors neither. It can't compete with the awfulness of Madonna's "Die Another Day" or Lani Hall's "Never Say Never Again", though, in a race to the bottom.
