Cee-Lo Green - “Fuck You”

It’s Wednesday, and everyone needs a pick-me-up to get them through the day. Well look no further; you won’t find a better pick-me-up on the planet today than a dose of neo-soul like this one. Stop what you’re doing, listen to this song, then play it a dozen more times…and before you know it, the day will be over. Just make sure you don’t sing it around your boss…

Note: this song and video both make extensive use of the word “fuck”. If that kind of thing offends you, or is likely to offend the people around you, maybe you should wait until you get home to listen to it, K?

“Then he gave me some advice about teaching that’s stuck with me for more than three decades: “Just pretend you’re teaching you. How would you do that? What would you want to know? What did you dislike when you were taught? What stories would you tell to make it understandable? What would keep you interested and engaged?”

tuneage:

Jay Jay Pistolet - Happy Birthday You

I found Jay Jay Pistolet while randomly surfing tumblr, and I’m into pretty much every song I’ve come across so far….which granted, isn’t that many. He’s released a couple of singles and one album, Happy Birthday to You. As an indie enthusiast, I’m a sucker for Jay Jay’s soft vocals and acoustic guitars.

Sadly, he’s not touring anymore and iTunes only ever carried three of his songs, but I really like his style (although he sometimes falls into country music patterns). He lists the Beach Boys as a major influence and has done collaborative work with Noah and the Whale and Mumford & Sons.

“There are a few differences of opinion within DP, although for the most part, they are extremely similar in perspective. They hate Obama. They hate progressives. They hate the UN, diplomacy, and peace/disarmament efforts. They hate reforms of health care, Wall St., and immigration. They hate science, in fact many are creationists, and some even blog about it. They hate the secular nature of our nation. They hate environmental protection, requiring polluters to be responsible for their own cleanup, and especially hate climate efforts. They hate unions and any attempt to level the playing field to give all Americans economic opportunities. They hate the government, except the military-industrial complex. They hate abortion rights. They hate public schools and really hate higher education. They hate anyone in the media except far right personalities like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Michelle Malkin. They hate anyone who doesn’t think Obama is a secret islamist and/or marxist who was born in Kenya. They just love to hate.”

“I’ve never been that keen on studying before an exam. I rarely study for more than a half hour, even for big final exams worth more than half my grade. When I do study, I usually just skim over the material and do a few practice questions. For some of my math classes I have yet to do a single practice question for homework. Most people study by cramming in as much information before walking into the test room, whereas I consider studying to be no more than a light stretch before running.”

“Starting as a freshman, he focused all of his extracurricular energies on a serial string of environmental sustainability projects. He started by submitting a model of a green house to a competition. This led him to discover that a local energy company offered a grant program for local high school students. He won a modest grant, and used it, with the help of a retired engineer from his hometown, to retrofit a golf cart to run on biofuels. Leveraging this success, he earned another grant which he used to install solar panels on his school’s maintenance shed. This earned him press coverage, and the resulting Superstar Effect helped wow the Stanford admissions department into overlooking his borderline scores.”
