And I’m listening to it, and it’s good! I’m on my second round, and it’s really good. But I mean, NPR, I know musical tastes are a matter of opinion, and also that you, Robin Hilton, are probably very smart and have earned money as a music critic and have, you know, “credibility” and “knowledge” and things like that. And I know my qualifications only...

Are you allowed to get a tattoo that says “through being cool” if you were never, technically, cool?
(I’ve been listening to this album more than usual lately. It’s so immediate. Everything is happening right now. It’s kind of a rare quality in music, even in the self-absorbed sad white boy bands I spend most of my life listening to. The songs sound like...

Watchthedailywhat:
This Is Funny, You Should Watch It of the Day: Jason Segel and Paul Rudd, as Sydney Fife and Peter Klaven from I Love You, Man, finally realize their lifelong dream of hanging out with Rush.
Is this a one-off skit, or could a sequel be in the works?
[fod.]
I want a sequel so much. I could watch this movie once a day and I would never love it less.

needless to say, i'm now watching when harry met...
I just realized how often I say “you’re right, you’re right, I know you’re right” in the exact tone of voice and with the exact same rhythm of speaking that Carrie Fisher uses when she says it 900 times over the course of this movie. Stuff like this happens to me a lot. I am not an original human being in any way.

how to wake up
Open your eyes.
Oh, you can see everything! Like, actually see it. So you must have gone to bed with your contacts in. This is a sign that you were real drunk last night.
When did you go to bed?
Realize you don’t remember. So you were real drunk last night.
But! You have pajamas on. Well, you have a bathrobe on. You didn’t fall asleep in a dress and fishnets. Feel better.
Say...

i tried to make a playlist
for the Teenage Dream party. You know, like… of artists I liked as a teenager.
This playlist includes, among many others:
Ani Difranco
Bikini Kill
Brand New
Bruce Springsteen
Jimmy Eat World
Nirvana
Rilo Kiley
Tori Amos
I think it’s safe to say this is going to be a pregame playlist, not a party playlist.

How To Be 1990's →
“Listen to songs on repeat until you cry and you’re not sure why. Feel very disturbed and be unsure why. Mouth off; talk back. They don’t understand you, no one understands you. No one ever will. Think about suicide while being quite sure you’re not actually suicidal. Kind of wish you were. Read about depression and practice its mannerisms. Have sudden fits, slam things, be defiant while all...

Found this link over at Bitch and thought I would share it. I don’t read much YA anymore because I think I’m technically a little old for it but I might say screw it and look into these reads anyhow :)
some of my favorites are on here! as for those i haven’t read, now i will plan on doing so.
This is great. This is like… everything I like, in a list.

things you say out loud during the first weekend...
“I think I’m getting sick. Or maybe I’m just hungover. I hope I’m hungover, because I really want to get drunk tonight.”
In other news, we’re having a party tonight. The theme is “Teenage Dream.” I will be wearing… well, it’s a surprise, but it’s gonna be really teenagery. And trust me, I haven’t been a teenager since...

what do you think is the true point of pandora?
“I would like to discover new music that is similar to artists I already like.”
“My computer is kind of shitty and I’m too lazy to wait for iTunes to boot up.”
Spoiler alert: for me, it’s always the second.

She opens a bottle of Valpolicella and heats up a casserole of lasagna that she had planned to bring up to the office. (She cooks abundantly and expertly but eats none of it; she has seen the bricks of butter, shovels of sugar, gallons of double cream that disappeared into the mix, ready to reappear on her hips. So her creations—the Leaning Tower of Potato, the Seattle Swirl Cookies, the...

WHY IS LADY GAGA WRITING GAY ANTHEMS????
I have a lot of feelings about this and I’m trying really hard not to offend anyone soooo.
I don’t want to, like, say that people cannot self-identify their sexuality, because everyone can and everyone should. But, I don’t know. This makes me...

Tori vs Ani. This is basic.
In high school, were you a teenage feminist/budding lesbian/closeted gay dude/some combination of the above? Because you definitely liked either Tori Amos or Ani Difranco, and possibly (probably) both. They’re opposite sides of the same coin for high school girls. John Green highlights this in Looking for Alaska, which is just another reason that book is weirdly...

THE TORI AMOS MUSICAL
sadydoyle:
Will probably be called “The Light Princess,” is based on George McDonald’s Victorian-era fairy tale of the same title, will contain the song “Winter’s Carol” from her recent Christmas album (if you want to get an idea of what it’ll sound like) and will be written with Samuel Adamson, who appears to have a pretty good resume although I know nothing about musical theater so I couldn’t...
dear pandora,
I don’t know what about my stations (to wit: Tegan and Sara, Mickey Avalon, Taking Back Sunday, Bikini Kill, and Baroque Choral) makes you think that advertising the Katy Perry tour will make me suddenly interested in spending money to see the poor man’s Zooey Deschanel screech offensive things, but here’s the thing: it won’t.

Nina: “I would just like to point out that until ‘grad school’” (this was accompanied by sarcastic scare quotes) “this is our last first day of school ever.” Which.

“It’s an extraordinary fact!” She leans forward again. “Don’t you find it striking? The personality is constantly dying and it feels like continuity. Meanwhile, we panic about death, which we cannot ever experience. Yet it is this illogical fear that motivates our lives. We gore each other and mutilate ourselves for victory and fame, as if these might swindle...
