EMAIL OF THE DAY
Laura saw someone in a Mike Rupp shirt in DC and used this as an opportunity to comment on my odd taste in favorite people: I wanted to ask that girl where she got that Rupp tshirt, as well as why. Because honestly, who else but you is as in love with him?

Some things.

1. Yesterday at work I was listening to an old Fresh Air interview with Rivers Cuomo. A they cut to a clip of "Hash Pipe," a new Alexi order came in from someone whose email was wheresmypipe@....

Of course it was.

2. I like this Jens Lekman review (scroll down):
But you have no idea how fucking endearing the guy actually is until ( Read more... )

After some possible bad news today (I don't want to talk about it until we find out how it's going to turn out, but my stomach is in knots), I got the much better news that Jens is coming back in April! OMG! I can't wait ( Read more... )

Melting Chocolate Bunnies
The hairdryer is definitely my favorite. From Mr. Jacobs.

I recently discovered Out of Character, linked from some other blog, I'm sure. Pretty much anything you can find there is highly recommended, but she links to several choice posts on her "about me" page, and these two were ( Read more... )

The musical genius of Jens Lekman

(And Stereogum's NY review is pretty accurate for the Boston show a couple weeks ago, too. Just subtract the part about ( Read more... )

AND ALSO, I CANNOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT, OMG. If the song wasn't so awesome, I'd say my favorite part is right at the beginning when he notices the camera and smiles, but come on, my favorite part is the whole thing.

*Andy's new college email address is ajv14@hisschool.edu.

There was a Defamer "Privacy Watch" sighting of Tyler Mane, and I didn't recognize the name, so of course I IMDBed him. Still didn't know who he was, but does anyone notice anything funny in his bio? More specifically, that one of his marriages lasted from 1988-2003 and the other from 1997-1999? They're like nesting dolls!

New Jens Lekman song! ( Read more... )

My to-do list for today pretty much doubled in size in the last hour I was here last night, and the sky outside is threatening a masssive thunderstorm, so it's a bit of a gloomy Friday. But I'll do a Friday Five anyway!

I love this photo so much.
