Holy shit, my Firefox browser is all fucked up and I don’t know why. I tried to open it and got an error message I couldn’t even read because—-ha ha!—-it’s offscreen and you can’t drag it over. If you press “continue” the browser opens, but won’t pull up my homepage (Calendar), and you have no “File” “Edit” or anything in that toolbar at all. And you know what I don’t have time for? Figuring this out. Shitshitshitshitshit.
Anyway, our panel for South By Southwest is Sunday at 10AM, and it’s called “That’s Not My Name: Beating Down Online Misogyny”.
God, you know what sucks? Safari. It sucks like a $1,000 vacuum cleaner.
Sorry, back to the point. Come to our panel! Don’t take your Firefox for granted! Our panel will be awesome! It’s me, Samhita and Ann from Feministing, and Cecily Walker! It’s named after a fucking awesome Ting Tings song, which will be the original song for your Genius mix. Down with Safari! Leave your random ten or Genius ten in comments. Firefox forever!!1!!!!1!!11!1!11!!!!!!
“That’s Not My Name”—-The Ting Tings
1) “Ready For The Floor”—-Hot Chip
2) “Relax, Take It Easy”—-Mika
3) “Valerie”—-Mark Ronson, featuring Amy Winehouse (On one of the few occasions where I like her and don’t think she’s the most overrated piece of trash out there. But sometimes I think that Mark Ronson could take someone clearing their throat and turn it into a shiny retro-sounding pop hit.)
4) “Standing In The Way Of Control”—-The Gossip (In a just world, the Gossip would have Amy Winehouse’s Grammies. As far as I know, Mark Ronson has not exploited Beth Ditto’s talents. This is wrong.)
5) “Flux”—-Bloc Party
6) “Chelsea Dagger”—-The Fratellis
7) “Dirty Harry”—-The Gorillaz
8) “Munich”—-The Editors
9) “Kids”—-MGMT
10) “Bohemian Like You”—-The Dandy Warhols
Videos under the fold. I’ll try not to rant. Also, this afternoon, I have a South By Southwest Survival Guide for those who descending on the city for the Interactive/Film/Music festival. If you’re staying for one, two, or all three, I hope as an Austin resident and a longtime SXSW attendee, I can help.
Mika:
Instead of “Valerie”, here’s Lily Allen and Mark Ronson singing a cover of “Oh My God” that is, in my opinion, as fun as the Ting Tings.
MGMT:
Okay, there’s your dance party. If you’re coming to SXSW Interactive, come to our panel!
