Tobin Sprout - It’s Like Soul Man

I never liked you until I took a good look at myself
And when I saw you there, I saw the best part of me was yourself.

Andrew WK - McLaughlin Groove

Even if I didn’t know the context¹, this song would make me smile every time I heard it.

¹Andrew WK was asked by Faith Salie of the late PRI show “Fair Game” to make a song about John McLaughlin of The McLaughlin Group so Andrew WK just keep the exact words of McLaughlin (because they are batshit insane on their own) and made this song.

The above chart from All Things D shows the wholesale prices cable companies pay for channels per subscriber. (click to embiggen)

If you aren’t a big fan of ESPN and TNT but watch a lot of BBC World News and The Hallmark Channel, you might want to reconsider your cable bill.

From Deadspin:

The City of Edmonton charted water consumption during the [Canada-US Olympic men’s] hockey gold medal game and found that the whole damn town apparently saved its “business” for the intermissions. [Pat’s Papers]

postironyisnotamyth:

LOGORAMA - winner of the best animated short in last night’s ceremony. I might do a longer write up of this short, but in the mean time you should watch it. Not only because it’s a brutal satire of the pervasiveness of the corporate sign but because it’s also really pretty and very funny.

Humor is subjective.
Context is everything.
People caring about the Oscars when they aren’t involved in anyway with the films being honored is still hilarious to me.
Hollie, if you’re sincere, you’re right. If you’re not, then you are the master.

winterwater:

My friends and I playing “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire at my school.

I don’t “know” Layne except through tumblr but I do know from what he posts that he enjoys and perfoms music and seems pretty passionate about it. This video, hands down, is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. I’m not saying it’s perfect or is the best technical version of Wake Up I’ve heard, but I would rather watch a million videos of people enjoying themselves playing music that means something to them than hear one supposedly good song from someone supposedly well-known. Watch and enjoy this video.

Sandra Bullock accepts her Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve in person. (One of my favorite quotes about All About Steve is from Rafer Guzman of Newsday, “The film isn’t merely unfunny and stupefyingly inane but a depressing waste of money, energy and time, yours included.”)

Accompanied with a group of people wearing “Team Bullock” t-shirts, they gave every person in the audience a copy of the movie because Bullock didn’t believe every person in the audience actually watched the movie.

Did you say you've only had 3 people over to your apartment? Why's that?

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:19:00 -0600

I was exaggerating slightly but it’s a small number. [counting in head, hold on…] Eight people. Of that eight, only two people have been repeats. Here’s why:

It’s a difficult apartment to visit from a practicality point of view.
I live in the most northern neighborhood in the city of Chicago which is where no one lives. It’s a pain in the rear for most people to come up here especially if they don’t have a car and parking is a bitch. On top of that, I’ll admit my neighborhood suffers from the “good block, bad block” syndrome where at one moment you are in a delightful little part of it and then you walk a block and there are gang signs in the pavement. And finally, on top of all of that, I have a very small apartment so if people did show up we’d all be standing staring at each other in the center of it.
I’m embarrassed by it. It’s not a bad apartment at all. Frankly, I like it but at my age (I’m an old man in tumblr years) I feel like I should have something a little bit nicer. Frankly, it suits me fine. It literally is a place to lay my head and cook dinner and that’s it. The rest of the time I’m not even in my apartment. Plus, I’ve lived in MUCH worse. My senior year of college, the frat (was not a brother at the fraternity, but friends with a number of the guys that were) house I was living in was being remodeled and the room my friend Mike and I were going to live in wasn’t even finished yet. There was literally a window missing; just a hole in the wall. My mother cried and my father offered to pay for a week at a hotel until I found something else. It turned out fine.
It’s sort of my personal space. Since it’s small, I don’t feel tempted to invite people over even if I wanted. But, it’s nice to have a space that no one can bother me and it’s my own. If I want to be with people I can but I literally have a hideaway that few people know where it is and I can just be by myself. I’m very big on alone time.
