Fixing Errors

I took it upon myself to fix some errors that I have noticed.


I refuse to live in a world where Taro Gomi gets away with lying. We all know girls don't poop.



Enough is enough.

Thai Music Thus Far

Inspired by Grish's post, I decided to post again about Thai music.

I posted a while ago about what music's like in Thailand but I've been here far longer and now I have a better idea of how it really is. The most important thing I've discovered is a genre or music called Isan. Isan is the rural territory to the far North and East in Thailand and has it's own style of righteous jams. I've included one song that I absolutely love. It's called "อย่างนี้มันต้องถอน" which sounds like "yong ni mon dtong tawn" and translates into something about having to drink in the morning to get over a hangover. When I first heard the song, I loved it. Then I found out what it's about and I loved it more. Then finally I saw the music video and it wasn't possible to love this song any more than I did. There's really no end to the great things about this video. The visual effects, the singers appearance and mannerisms and air-guitaring to his own song, the rapid-fire karaeoke thai, the FUCKING DANCERS! It's almost too much!

อย่างนี้มันต้องถอน

I'll also include our second favorite song which is another great sing-a-long. I'm not sure of the name of this one but as far as I'm concerned it's just "Doo doo doo". It's a solid reggae tune with a solid reggae singer. The chorus is "look, look, look (that's the doo doo doo), how can you do that to me?"

ดูดู่ดู้

Also, I'm not sure how to embed the videos right on to the page, how do you do that?

doo doo doo,
