South Park, Twilight & LCD Soundsystem

Butters is one of the best things about South Park in recent years and he's just as good in the new season that I think kicked off a couple of weeks ago but I didn't realise until this morning. It feels like it's been months and months since that last episode about a pee epidemic in a water park (a classic as ever). First episode is excellent with the new EA Tiger Wood's game being a laugh out loud moment. Then there's the slightly extended moment of vomiting in a TV interview section of the second episode. Oh god I've missed this show. There's just nothing anywhere near as funny as South Park these days.

I managed to break my personal vow of not watching a Twilight film last night. Venturing downstairs I found my housemate and another mate settled down in front of it. I joined in somewhat reluctantly. It was the second one which was on although I'm not sure what I missed in terms of story from the first. Firstly everything that happens in the film is in the trailer. I was waiting for the rest of the film to kick in, but it never did. Not that anything really happens. It's just Kristen Stewart moping for most of it, either that or breathing so heavily I thought I was watching soft-core porn. The obvious undertones of abstinence are embarrassing as well, made all the more apparent with scenes of eye-staring and heavy breathing that go on for so long I wouldn't be surprised if they made up 90% of the running time. I just don't get it, for such a blockbuster series how can so little happen? I'll stick to Harry Potter I think for franchise movies. At least they have something going on in them.

A track off LCD Soundsystem's new record has leaked and is now being officially streamed here. It's apparently the new single and is called Drunk Girls. Not sure what to think at the moment apart from that it reminds me so much of Blur's Girls and Boys thanks to the lyrics in the chorus. Seems good fun though in a North American Scum kind of vein. File under catchy. May 17th for the new album as well.
