I’ve started a new tumblr. let’s see how this goes.
A Very Special California Dreams
From the Wiki article on the show:
“An old friend of Tony’s is severely beaten by a couple of guys, and another friend wants to get revenge. Tony wants to get revenge using a bat, but also convinces his friend that using a gun isn’t the way to go.”
So remember kids, getting revenge on people that beat you up is okay as long you’re only going to assault someone with a deadly weapon and not shoot them with a gun.

Superchunk - “Throwing Things”
I first heard of Superchunk back in 2003/2004 when I was working at a record store. Despite my love for early 90s indie rock I never really tried to give them a listen. When I heard they were playing Coachella this year I download a few albums and am now kicking myself for not listening to them sooner.
This is one of my favorite tracks along with “Driveway to Driveway,” and “Like A Fool.” And yes I’m sure they have a ton more amazing songs, but I’m late to the party okay. Oh and see them live. They’re amazing.

2 Yellowstone Workers Fired For Peeing In Geyser →

Why the hell would anyone pee in a geyser. Don’t they know that they’d run the risk of having scalding hot water shoot out at high speeds and burn their dicks off. Yes I know it’s fun to piss on unconventional things but I draw the line at pissing on things that put my dick in danger.

Elvis Costello, Maroon 5 man to appear on '30 Rock' season finale | News | NME.COM →

Sometimes I fear that 30 Rock is going the route of The Simpsons. While this season has been funny it has spent too much time focusing on guest stars at the expensive of the characters everyone loves.

Signs I'm Getting Older #4
I’m more excited about who Obama’s Supreme Court nominee will be than who the Oscar nominees will be.
(Sign I might still be young: Excitement about who Obama’s nominee will be is roughly equal to wondering who will play Coachella next year.

I think I’m developing a crush on historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.

The Coming » Birthday Boys/Convoy Interview: Part I →

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.
