All of them are stupid.
“The key is going to be if Variable A outmatches Variable B in terms of isolated apparently unimportant factor x. But really you never know — there is a always a chance of a surprise — and it all comes down to Obvious Way Winning Is Determined.”
xXxplain this to me in “Mad Men Recap.”
But really, you gotta dance at weddings.

Oh, sure, you could get all earnest, like you did back at the Obama inauguration, taking in hallowed sights like the Lincoln Memorial, or the National Archives, with its original copies of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. But where’s the fun in that? After all, you’re here for an elaborate political pantomime, not to wait in line for civics lessons like some sort of...

I’m confused. If The New Yorker reblogs you, which side has to report it to the FTC?

rendit said: Honest question, not being a jerk, how do you determine ‘EZ listening’ vs. ‘supermarket music’?
A good question for which I do not have a good answer!
Anything Bacharach-y is automatically ez listening in my head, and they’re songs that all right-thinking humans like. The way I see it, supermarket music spans the decades, and is generally more subjective - a supermarket...

A Day for Kites - "Bobby Pin" →
OK, who were the music bloggers asleep at the wheel in 2006 when this sadly now defunct band put out some excellent songs? (Not Said the Gramophone. Anyone else?) They should have been big or at least something like “Tumblr-famous” in today’s parlance. More tracks here. Where are you now, Kerri Carisse??

COFFEE WARS: Gorilla Coffee Is Suing The NYT AND... →
From the comments: Dear Former Gorilla Coffee Employees,
The lawsuit against you is clearly without merit, in our view. In fact, you may be entitled to damages against the employer for filing what in our opinion is a frivolous anti-speech lawsuit. We’ve defeated these suits before and we’d be happy to obtain pro-bono representation in this matter for you from one of the over 300...
