It probably impacts my opinion on the matter that I’m pretty sure I could fit him inside my breast pocket, but the clip of Max Tundra singing “Vision of Love” karaoke makes me want to do karaoke with Max Tundra sometime, at the very least. Two weeks ago, I did, duet-style, “Beast of Burden” [...]

Until they release something new, or play live where I can see them, I’m going to keep posting videos like this of Women. This is a version of “Group Transport Hall” that slows the song down significantly from the recorded version–like playing a 45 at 33 speed–resulting in a nice quasi drone-metal buildup that [...]

Two weeks from the Super Bowl, a report from the Christian Division of the Sports-Divinity Desk:
Phillip Rivers on “chastity as a lost art” (seriously):

“After eleven bottles, Louis shows unbelievable muscular progress. He can lift my left foot and, according to the rabbit, he arm-wrestled the monkey to a draw. (I must have been dialling ex-girlfriends around this time.) I do what might generously be called a cartwheel but really is just me losing my balance. I fall and [...]

“If you go back to the late ’90s, people were really angsty about guitars, and how they were inevitably at the center of indie music. And now we’re ten years later, and that audience is now totally in thrall of an album that is almost entirely keyboards, samples, drum machines and harmonized vocals. The acclaim [...]

Every time I heard a new horror story about job losses related to the economic crisis, I would comfort myself, while huddled in a corner under a blanket watching Hulu, with the knowledge that higher education is recession-proof.
