Is it just me or does everything feel really good right now?

Awesome new president (who can speak English — well! — and actually knows what a blog is!)… the last year we have to deal with not really knowing what to call this decade (naughts, or, something?)… and an economy that, despite its heinous effect on our collective job security has at least, for once, made Manhattan real estate seem like it’s actually affordable (well, OK, make-a-bid-way-below-our-insane-price-and-we-might-actually-CONSIDER-it-able).

What more could you ask for than that, friends?

OK, OK, I hear you… but we’ve already got that!

Yes, pals, the nostalgia machine has kicked in and we’ve got ourselves some gen-u-wine, awesome turn-of-the-90’s-retro indierockgoodness for your fin de siècle heavyrotationcelebration (oh, well hello there Bill Clinton, Pavement, and studio apartments under a grand!)

So, without further ado and/or meandering (but you know how I like to type… slowly) here are The Japanese Motors…

If you want to know the names and artists some good old house toons back when house toons were actually good, major, danceable and fun (like back before crystal killed everyone’s vibe) check out the phearceness here. This site brought me back to all those saturday nights when I danced until i couldn’t stand any more, kissed who knows how many boys, wore no shirt, and stumbled home and slept for 18 hours. Ahh the days.
