Is This Thing On?

Friday, August 5, 2011


Been a while; anybody still out there? Here's a list of some things that don't suck. Been a pretty decent summer:


Bon Iver Bon Iver*
Battles Gloss Drop
The Cars Move Like This
Explosions in the Sky Take Care, Take Care*
Foo Fighters Wasting Light
Junior Boys It's All True
Maritime Human Hearts
Release the Sunbird Come Back to Us
Mock Orange Disguised as Ghosts
The Sea and Cake Moonlight Butterfly
Washed Out Within and Without
The Wooden Birds Two Matchsticks
Fringe
Friday Night Lights* (TV) - May not be new to you, but it is to me.
Shark Week
Captain America: The First Avenger
Super 8

Have given in to the realization that Cowboys & Aliens isn't going to be mind-blowingly awesome, but I'm holding out hope it's going to be fun. Let you know after tomorrow...

*If you don't like this Album/Show/Movie, listen to/watch it again, and try harder. If that doesn't work for you, get your head checked.

The Weeknd

Monday, April 4, 2011

I really dig this song so I went ahead and got the rest of the "mixtape". It's free. Pretty disappointed as the rest of it just sounds like ho-hum r&b to me. I'll keep trying though just to see if the hype this artist has received is fo' rell. Again, could not figure out how to put the mp3 player on here so I went with the lazy route. Sound off.

New Pornographers: "Moves" Video

Monday, February 7, 2011

This video is ridiculously good. It contains hollywood stars, drugs, alcohol, and people mouthing vulgarities, but, ironically, no pornography.

Black History Month

Friday, February 4, 2011

It's about effing time! So this is pretty much the perfect segue into the month of February... rumors of a band reuniting who have a song titled "Black History Month". It had to have been planned out all like this. I'm just glad they didn't wait till 2079 or something like that.

Go. Read. Get pumped. But not too pumped. If you can read between the lines you can see this beautiful ray of light shining through that has been created with "Blood on Our Hands" out of a "Dead Womb" and has produced "Sexy Results". Kinda gross, but it's not my fault. Lates, brahs.

Fikak! Best of 2010!

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

It's that time again, skillets. 2010 has been filled with new babies, school, work, and, unfortunately, maybe a little less blogging than we would've liked, but the end of the year is upon us, and Howard Hughes insatiable hunger for the mother of all list-making opportunities is not to be denied. And so Fikak's first "best of" list as a triumvirate will cap off 2010 with our 10 favorite albums and 10 favorite tracks from the past 358-ish days. Maybe next year we'll do 11.
