Allison Weiss - “Unicorns & Marshmallows”

So this one time I promised my Kickstarter backers I’d write a song about unicorns and marshmallows. Here is the result!

I recorded it myself in Logic so excuse the poor quality (unless you think it sounds great, in which case thanks for acknowledging my skills)!

p.s. it sounds better in headphones…

You’d think if somebody was gonna write a song about unicorns and marshmallows it would sound totally retarded and probably like some kind of children’s cartoon theme song. But Allison Weiss actually turned it into a legit song.

Until about the middle of the last century, most of the turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving would have been what we now call “heritage breeds,” including the Standard Bronze, Bourbon Red, White Holland, Naragansett, and Jersey Buff varieties. These turkeys are gorgeous, hardy creatures, developed in Europe and America over hundreds of years and rich in flavor. Though they are the ancestors to the Broad-Breasted White, a sort of made-up breed that arose in the 1960s with the advent of industrial turkey farms (the Broad-Breasted Bronze was mostly abandoned because its dark pinfeathers put off consumers), they bear little resemblance to that now ubiquitous bird in taste or texture.

Today more than 99 percent of turkeys sold in America come from the roughly 270 million raised on factory farms each year. These birds are bred to be so literally broad-breasted that by the time they are 8 weeks old, they are too fat to walk, much less procreate—every Broad-Breasted White on the market is the product of artificial insemination. They are kept in giant barns, given antibiotics to prevent disease, and fed constantly so that they reach maturity in almost half the time it takes a heritage turkey. The result is bland, mushy meat that we have come to equate with tenderness, but in reality processors inject the dressed birds with saline solutions and vegetable oils to improve “mouth feel” and keep the oversize breasts from drying out.

Julia Reed’s history of the Thanksgiving turkey is like a fine meal. (via newsweek)

Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth.

Just one of the many reasons I’m a vegetarian.

I want to live in that room.

Me too. I’ve decided that I want to design rooms in my house after movie sets. Most of the rooms will be from this and Troll.

And this is why I love you.

Leno: What is the worst rumor you’ve heard about yourself?
GaGa: That I’m from Yonkers.

That was the best moment of her interview with Leno.

Tumblr kind of kills my phone battery.

It’s pretty annoying.

Do you have the Tumblr app? If not you should get it.

I do. And on an unrelated note I just updated it and am really mad that I did.

Still though do you think this is my phone/battery’s problem? My phone’s never died before I got home and I’m glad that I can get it to die completely at convienent times but even if I’m on it all day at work it still shouldn’t be hitting 20% in like five hours, right?

Yeah you might wanna get that checked because something might be wrong with it.

ADULT CONTENT, YOU GUYS.
Text messages following my receipt of this birthday gift from one of the most lady-like ladies I know:
“The bonus part of that gift is that you get to imagine the scenario of me in a bakery asking if they’ll do custom dick cookies.  They asked me for your preferred skin tone, btw.”

Well this is just the greatest thing ever.

present for this little temper tantrum. EMBARASSING, jenny. she was totally on the rag that night.

This video doesn’t quite capture how douchey Johnathan Rice was being that night.

Y’know what? I’m glad she did that. There’s nothing more annoying than trying to enjoy a show and having half the fucking crowd talking through the quite songs. And I feel like stating that I’ve had many a conversation with Lewis and she’s one of the sweetest people. And so is my boy J. Rice.

And I’m pretty sure it’s a concept album about Twilight. Y/N?

Oh, I hope so.

Oh lord. Please let this be true.

I don’t understand why that would be a good thing. Also, it’s obviously not because Gaga is not 12?

Yeah, I wasn’t being serious.

Well, obviously. I think I’m just being a cranky pants cuz I’m sick of hearing about Twilight everywhere I go. It’s inescapable!
