Signs I'm Getting Older #2
I now enjoy getting up before 10:00 am so that I can get things done during the day.

My birthday is in about 45 days. Invisibility cloak has shot to the top of my wish list for presents.

They must mean Led Zeppelin and Nirvana tribute bands right?
If you haven’t done so already I recommend going to the bottom left of your Facebook homepage and changing your language of choice to English (Pirate).
Thanks to Deb for pointing this out.
The Coming » Birthday Boys/Convoy Interview: Part... →
My improv group Convoy and one of my favorite sketch groups the Birthday Boys were interviewed by The Coming a few months back. Here’s part one of the interview.
Hey Fringe, there’s better ways to spend your music budget than on shitty She Wants Revenge songs that are 3 years old. I don’t care what douchey psudo gothy night club we’re at but no one wants to hear “Tear You Apart” anymore.
“Manute Bol was a Pavement fan.”
– Stephen Malkmus letting us all know which NBA member loves 90s indie rock. I wonder if Hakeem Olajuwon was into Guided By Voices.
Wednesday really needs to happen, because the internet keeps taunting me with Lost spoilers.
“It’s not about ‘The A-Team;’ it’s the J-Team — the...”

Things I Learned From Pandora
Guided By Voices has a song on the Scrubs Soundtrack. I just wish it was Bob and the gang covering Scrubs’ “I’m No Superman” theme song.
Okay, I’m listening to the remix now and already regret my decision. Lenny better not send me any emails about upcoming tours or I’m going to be pissed.
I just gave lennykravitz.com my email address so I can download the Justice remix of “Let Love Rule.” I expect this decision to come back to haunt me within the week.
“Let’s say this slowly: the Bush administration wanted to use 9/11 as a pretext...”
– Paul Krugman
This makes all the torture more infuriating. It wasn’t to help stop an imminent attack. Bush and crew tortured to find proof to help sell the war on Iraq to America. That is sickening.

People with boring day jobs, I’ve just given you your entertainment for the day. I just can’t wait for them to post King’s Quest.

Gossip Girl just blew my mind.
Dear Trader Joe’s,
Sometimes I just want to buy one tomato. Four packs are nice, but I just don’t need that many tomatoes.

Anyone want to drive to a Ben and Jerry’s to take advantage of Free Cone Day?
Coachella Oberservations
It strikes me as odd when boyfriends stand in front of their shorter girlfriends at a concert. Of course, now that I’ve called this out I really hope I didn’t do this the last time I went to a concert with a girlfriend.
Nothing makes you feel like all is going to be right with the world than singing the chorus to Hey Jude in a field with 20,000 people.
Also, Los Campersinos, thanks for being amazing at 4:30 in the afternoon. You guys killed it.

My improv group Convoy got interviewed for the blog Poop or Chocolate. If you’ve ever wanted to hear us geeking out on improv or making fun of Berg’s sweaty arm pits now’s your chance.

My friend Lien asked me write this for the blog she works for. Enjoy my first attempt at a professional writing job.
This might be my favorite Dinosaur Jr. song.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Phil Spector's Wall of... →
Hey BBC, I don’t think today is really the best day to do an examination of Phil’s Wall Of Sound. And really BBC, you’re going to put “Long And Winding Road” (a low light of Let it Be) and a Starsailor song that no one remembers on your list. Those aren’t even actual examples of the Wall of Sound. At least if we’re going to venture beyond his Wall of Sound...
Bob Dylan: 'The Rolling Stones need Bill Wyman... →
Bob’s right, who can forget Bill’s excellent contributions to such albums as Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels. It’s only after those albums when Bill quit that the Stones started to make shitty records.
Music producer Phil Spector has been found guilty...
