Natalie Merchant, “Kind and Generous”
Ever since randomly hearing one of her songs in a flea market (of all places, I know) over the weekend, I’ve been on quite the Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs binge. My parents were actually huge fans of her/them when I was a little kid, and looking through YouTube brought back all sorts of memories that I didn’t even know I had.
Some others:
“Eat for Two”
“These Are Days” (performed at the 1993 Inauguration Ball!)
“Wonder”
“Because the Night”
Writer Evan Ratliff Tried to Vanish: Here’s What Happened
Holy crap what a great read, but life in the Age of Information just got that much scarier.
1 more day until NH!
Wouldn’t be complete without.
PUCK ME.
Half-hearted, especially when compared to the other big showclosers (see: “Somebody to Love,” “Keep Holding On”), but thanks for letting Artie sing lead again!
“Trust me: I’m a cautionary tale!”
According to Project Rungay, same actress who played Kitty (Sal’s wife) on Mad Men.
“I have to go, they’ll think I’m pooping.”
What? Why yes, it is time for your weekly gratuitous Glee screencaps!
Sad Panda, Behind the Mask
Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism student Michelle Tay has sent us this exclusive interview with the man behind the mask. The audio is in Mandarin, but there are subtitles that tell the 62-year-old Jialing Chen’s story — which includes a hard luck tale of being forced to leave his former restaurant job. Unable to find work again, he started out his journey as Sad Panda, where on a good day he’ll make 30 bucks.
I always see Sad Panda on my lunchbreak. After reading this, I’m dropping some money in his bucket during tomorrow’s.
Yesss a new Percy Jackson trailer!
Call me a nerd, I’m stoked for it.
I know I’m a few days late on this one, but goddamn did episode 4x08 of Dexter suck unusually hard or what? I say this out of love, as it’s my favorite show to TV right now, but who did somebody have to blow to get their mistress’s attempt at screenwriting on air? And I know we’re in a recession and all, but that’s no excuse for hiring film school freshmen to do a professional’s job. That’s just sloppy.

The Sartorialist: On the Street….Studded Collar, NYC
I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration from the men on this site lately…
“You are such an egghead.”
“I’m not…people call me a screw up because I think school is for suckers. But I got ambition.”
OMG PUCK ME NOW.
“I want to be very clear: I still have the use of my penis.”
