Ghost Houses
"mysterious email was sent to me today by a spooky outfit calling themselves Ghost Houses.
the email contained no info except the track title, band name, and the quote
'VIDEO ET TACEO' which, after a brief google search, I discovered means
'I see and am silent' in Latin and was the official motto of Elizabeth I."
Peep track two, let it set in.

First-hand experience is the best way of educating oneself.
Driving a car, playing baseball, or becoming a witchhouse aficionado.
For the latter, fuck googling demonic words or looking up Salem tracks on youtube.
Here's your homework, assigned by SANAFU.
I know nothing whatsoever about SANAFU, so he's already following the
first rule of witchhouse: give the impression you are not actually a pasty human
sitting behind a laptop, but a fucked up spawn of satan going under the name DJ Mengele.
Lots of dark, religious, and geometrical imagery should be on your
myspace page and the worst quality of your songs, the better.
These are all fundamentals for the witchhouse philosophy.
And I'll be damned if I don't love it every time I find a new song.

Sunday
Trey Songz, "Can't Be Friends" (MP3)
Male R&B singers make it really difficult not to hate them.
When they're not peeing on underage girls, they're beating up their R&B singer girlfriends,
or cheating on their R&B singer wives (despite their self-proclaimed "Love King" title).
With Trey Songz, I'm watching his every move, waiting for him to slip.
The thing that makes me most curious about this track is why he didn't name it "Can't Be Friendz"?
That seems like only the right thing to do when your name ends with a 'z'.
Despite my bitching, the song is awesome. So far so good, Songz.
