Thursday Playlist: Random things I can’t get off my mind lately
1.) The Human Centipede. I can’t bring myself to watch the movie, but I can’t stop wondering about some of the anatomic and scatalogic little details. Are there any intrepid film-goers out there who care to report? 2.) Will the Euro disappear? 3.) This tour video and song by Glass Candy 4.) How unfair not [...]
Breakroom Literature
Don’t you ever want to leave your desk for a minute, hit the breakroom with some cool office-mates, crack open a refreshing soda, maybe eat a banana and talk about Hepatitis C?
A Little Light Mockery

Current enthusiasms
1. Wild Flag, “Romance” video Wild Flag is Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss (formerly 2/3 of Sleater-Kinney), Mary Timony (Helium) and Rebecca Cole (The Minders). Besides being indie-rock royalty, these four women can crack you up and and kick your ass at the exact same time. The new album came out yesterday. Catch them on [...]
Where Were You?
Two natural disasters have taken place on the East Coast of the United States recently: an earthquake and a hurricane. On August 23rd, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 shook Virginia. Shaking was felt in surrounding areas including where I live in New York City. Everyone had a story that evening. I remember meeting [...]
