Ignore the shitty out-the-window nature of this home video -- and yes, whoever made this video is just playing the song in their car while filming out the window. That is missing the point though.
This song plays in that damn Toyota commercial and I had some trouble finding this song anywhere, so here it is for your listening enjoyment. The song is by a fellow named Pete Droge and is, in my opinion, pretty damn catchy.
Tonight me and a group of my favorite associates are venturing to the Tampa Amphitheatre for a Radiohead concert. Radiohead is one of the most slept on bands that I can think of and apparently they give an incredible live show; I am extremely excited for tonight. Besides the good music it should be quite a wonderfully relaxed party scene of sorts -- everyone should be happy, no one should be freaking out.
While it is probably too late for anyone who is ticket-less to go to this particular concert at this point, it is not too late for you to become an appreciator of Radiohead. Enjoy.
I must preface this post with a little information.
I noticed this cyber-anomaly a while back while browsing YouTube for some of my favorite songs. I'm searching Bob Dylan -- one of normal Zach's most beloved icons. To my shock I see myself playing the guitar, much better than I can, I should add. The only problem is I weigh 75 pounds more than I do now.
My understanding is that there is someone out there in cyberspace who looks just like me and is much better than me at everything I do; he even likes the same exact things that I do; he just likes them much more and in a much more impressive way. This guy is a superior being although nearly in the exact same mold, cut from the exact same cloth that I am; he is just much fatter.
Sometimes I take solace in the fact that I am much more physically fit than he is, but at the end of the day Fat Zach and I both know who the better man is. Fat Zach.
