Thanks heavens. I hear it's going to be on ABC since ABC owns/bought the studio that produces Scrubs. NBC has said that they are done with the show; that much is certain.

I just realized that the "la la la"s get progressively more melancholy as the song progresses, as though the singer is looking further and further inside. Or inside.

Youtube would be infinitely better if it didn't have the most retarded tagging system in the world. Or as it might render that: most, retarded, tagging, system, world.

I'm glad you pointed out the irony in the how these pro-lifers are incredibly violent. I wasn't sure about how to make that point, but your item (c) does the trick.

The line about abortion being "unarguably murder" gets such a laugh from me because the debate is nothing but an argument about whether abortion is murder.

I really should have flipped through it, as I am now curious about whether the unspoken rules of Facebook etiquette are included.

I was thinking more like "don't post on your own wall" when I was talking about the unspoken Facebook rules. This etiquette advice is retarded. Twenty-four hours? Get fucking bent.

Rant on the first 30 minutes of this episode of This American Life. It's about the sheer ballsiness of the executive branch.

Hey man, I agree with you on that. Pinkerton is my favorite album of the 90's.

Me and Kate last night:
me: you know joanna newsom i presume
kate: I know of her. I don't really like her.
me: i'm thinking of doing her but she's really polarizing
me: i'll table it

At least you chose my favorite Joanna track. Great start!

The guitar and female vocals make me think of some Cranberries song, oddly enough, though I mostly hear Altered Images when I listen to this band. Sound alikes aside, this is a tight track though. I'll have to revisit some Asobi Seksu.

Have you heard their album Citrus? I really like the track "Thursday".

Matthew, we're going to need some names.

As someone who digs a lot of the 80's shoegazey music (Chameleons, Kitchens of Distinction, practically anyone alleged to have influenced Interpol), I'm just curious who you might be singling out. Plus, I've been so out of the 08 music loop that the freshest thing I've heard all year is the Simple Minds back catalog, so I would appreciate knowing what hyped acts to avoid.

Ah, so bands who described as "droning" (in a good way).

It's a good albeit very strange essay. It was written circa 1990, and DFW describes a system where people make their own TV and video content. He essentially describes an indealized vision of YouTube in an Internet-less context.

Here is the problem: This pun actually worked. It's an effective counterexample to the "don't use puns" rule. The rule breaks itself, showing that the original rule isn't much of a rule to begin with.

As a child of the 80's, I know the feeling. When I see people registering for sites with 1990+ birth-dates, I say to myself "That's right, you're a twenty-something now. Have fun."
