Word for the Week: Wordless

Because...

The 12,000 members of the Writers Guild of America enter into Week 2 of their strike, in the eternal quest for more wad for their words. Which I'm like totally okay with. I mean, what's the big deal? It's only going to postpone or delay the production schedules of 24, Lost, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, The Office, Battlestar Galactica...

WRITE THEM A CHEQUE NOW, YOU PENGUIN SUIT PRICKS!

My Morning Jacket - Wordless Chorus (from Z)
Alt country icons evoke Al Jarreau in the company of some gorgeous, recurring organ triplets.

Cinematic Sunrise - The Wordless (from I've Seen Lovers Dancing In Windows EP)
Emocore punks with nothing to say? Never, as long as the gods of stop-start attacks and bedwetting teens rule and reign.

Venus Hum - Wordless May (from Big Beautiful Sky)
Amidst a stunning meld of IDM blips and fully organic yearns, this Nashville ambient electronica act asks, "Did Jesus make me sing?". I don't know, but they've got me saving up for classes.

The Velvet Underground - Wordless (from Squeeze)
Yes I know, purists have disassociated their darlings from anything to do with this album. Their loss; this cheeky soul jam trots through Alabama on its way to Brooklyn.

Wow! "Penquin Suit Pricks."

As a participant in this expression of economic frustration, I am partly to blame for your "wordless" frustrations. Although, I've been sending my drawings to those in the opposition. With your permission, I will refer to my now former employers as PSPs in all future correspondence. Sorry for the interruption in your television schedule. In the meantime, I can reccomend some books.

Hi anonymous,

Yeah, call them that. Don't forget to drop us some props in your footnotes.
