The Moldy Peaches

Despite latent bias against soundtracks in general (cough), I love this Moldy Peaches track from Juno. It pairs two guitars with boy and girl vocals in probably the most perfect way possible. I got a little misty the third time they played it in the film. Also, any song with lyrics like this, is well, <3:

I will find my niche in your car
With my MP3 DVD rumble-pack guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
...
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I won’t spoil the ending, but after you’ve seen it you’ll think this was written for the film. Kimya & co’s music fits this film like Air’s proper for the Virgin Suicides. Find more here and here.

It’s a giant hack, but...

...I added Mark’s blog as a favorite. Primarily because it’s awesome, and also because of his tagline about bacon. <3

To favorite someone’s blog, you’ll need Firefox with Firebug installed.

Open someone’s blog and view source.
Look for an HTML comment like this:

Copy the asset ID (the 6aNNNN... number).
Run this command from the Firebug console (with the above ID):
app.c.addAssetAsFavorite( { asset_id: "6aNNNN..." } )
Check your favorites. It should now be listed!
