You've got some Schmidt on your face

I keep on top of my US television. I won't say how, nor will I reveal my sources...but, yeah, it's a thing I do. Also, sometimes I watch really crap television. And I enjoy it...so, there...

Zooey Deschanel, aka Professional Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Internet Ukelele Enthusiast , has a really horrible new TV show, in which she plays a character basically mixes both of those things together in an overly schmalzy, pseudo-hipstery, borderline mentally unsound way. It's called "New Girl" and it's bad. Honestly, don't bother with it at all. I feel like I watched it so that you don't have to.

The saving grace is a character on the show named Schmidt. I suppose it's only a saving grace for me, since most of you do not actually have a friend that you almost exclusively call Schmidt. Your loss. However, I do. And TV Schmidt is so different from real life Schmidt that it is hilarious to me. TV Schmidt's douchebaggery is unparalleled. So much so, that I really want to create a similar video montage (complete with Natasha Bedingfield soundtrack) like this for my Schmidt -- even though he has no use for internet dating profiles:









Also, I want him to start using his name to make cool catchphrases and comebacks, such as the following:







Um, that's all really.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Saturday Night Videos 5

Lately I've taken to supporting artists via crowd-sourcing sites and the like. I recently touched on that a bit in the last show regarding Chali 2na's Against the Current project. Personally, I think it's an easy/convenient way to support indie artists -- particularly, if you like good music and if you're kinda low on funds yourself. Sometimes there a (reasonable) minimum donation amount to get some new music. Sometimes it's a "pay what you can/want". A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant . Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. A...
