New Redneck GReece - posted by Mail Clerk @ 8:10 AM | Permanent Link
Courtesy of the Thrillhammers, the band with whom he recorded his new track, you can now hear Redneck GReece's nuanced take on the immigration issue entitled "Come On In Juan". Even has a Spanish verse. Pretty great stuff.
We Vs. Hall & Oates - posted by Mail Clerk @ 3:16 AM | Permanent Link
Sorry to y'all who've already gotten this over myspace, but I thought this bulletin from We Vs. The Shark was pretty funny and probably worth casting an Internet vote for just for the insider fun that would come if Sam wins...
sam + hall + oates
alright, here's the story: i, sam shark, have loved Hall & Oates for as long as i can remember. so when i found out that i could win a trip to hollywood to see them live by making a music video-- i did it.
and it's made it to the next round!
where you come in: you watch the video, laugh at sam's fake mustache, and vote for the video.
go here. my video is #8 (on youtube it's listed incorrectly as entry #10, not sure why, all the videos are listed incorrectly on youtube. you vote directly from the website though, so just remember #8!). don't forget the email confirmation part!
thanks! send me to hollywood! please! make my dreams come true! xo-- sam
Good luck, Sam! If you win, send us some pics and stories!
Serious Politics - posted by Mail Clerk @ 2:03 AM | Permanent Link
I really couldn't help but laugh when I saw the MySpace homepage yesterday. Try to ignore the trisected (through the magic of screen capturing) Hillary Duff and check out the "Cool New People". (I've since realized that they're putting all the candidates who have pages up there now, but this particular juxtaposition - as opposed to say a business casual Obama with a Jamie Kennedy ad - really works well...) And yes, it's a real page. Why didn't he put "swinger"? It's funny.
Trapped In The Drive-Thru - posted by Mail Clerk @ 12:01 AM | Permanent Link
Continuing our theme of weird people making awesome music, Weird Al has released a full animated video for his 11-minute epic "Trapped in the Drive-Thru". Enjoy...
And because I missed it when it was apparently released a while back, here's a hastily-animated vid for "Don't Download This Song" - another reason why Weird Al is awesome!
Our MySpace Page: Call For Entries - posted by Mail Clerk @ 12:10 AM | Permanent Link
I know that cool people don't have to beg for friends... but consider this a casual reminder that if you or your band or your local organization or a teenager you know have a MySpace page, please invite us to be your friend. Here's our Myspace page. We're all older now than we were a few years back, many of us get out less, and frankly it's a good source for all sorts of news and gossip. We won't send you (m)any updates because we're a blog. But it sure helps us keep up with everyone.
The Day Jobs is a group blog for those who are productively lazy. Each blogger lives, works, and plays in Athens. Expect commentary on music, arts, office culture, television, and many other forms of tomfoolery.
