What were you reading?
It was this mystery called Don’t Breathe a Word by Jennifer McMahon - she’s one of those mystery writers who really only writes one mystery (her mystery is about kidnapped/missing girls) and this particular one had all of this Celtic folklore stuff blended in with a...
Well, I may not have watched any Gossip Girl while on vacation, but I’m making up for it by watching like 10 consecutive episodes of The OC today.

Yesterday I read a mystery that freaked me out so much that I had to text April at 3:00AM (EST) to tell her how scared I was.
I am having the kind of night where you sit around your apartment alone listening to Sew True while feeling sorry for yourself.

GO WATCH GOSSIP GIRL RIGHT NOW!
Please come be my life coach.
My personal goal for having this whole week off work was to do nothing except sit in front of the television and watch the entire Gossip Girl series and it’s Wednesday night now and I haven’t watched any Gossip Girl at all and I am so disappointed in myself.

What were your thoughts on Lana Del Rey? I heard her for the first time on Christmas and mostly just thought it was boring.
Oh my god, how did I not realize until now that someone had actually solicited my thoughts on Lana Del Rey? I’ve been listening to tons of LDR (or, as theremixbaby refers to her, Del...
SPOTIFY PLAYLIST: ALWAYS TOGETHER: CHART RAP AND...
theremixbaby:
ALWAYS TOGETHER is a 50-song spotify playlist based on the 1993-1997 Billboard Hip-hop/R&B Singles Charts.
The unabridged playlist is 268 tracks and 20 hours long; it reflects the diversity of sounds present in mainstream hip-hop and R&B in the mid 90s: schmaltzy love ballads, filthy sex jams, edgy urban dance-pop, g-funk, slick east coast shit, corny pop rap. You may...

“One wonders if Puff, who does seem to be a bit of workaholic, buried himself in producing in the year following Big’s murder.”

Weird thing is that Puff’s so ostentatious — and, let’s face it — exploitative of his grief that it seems strange to think of how he might have privately reacted to Big’s death. When Jay mentions Big, even in the most self-aggrandizing way,...

I actually really, really liked series five of Skins. It was nice to see them take a step back from their previous model of “partying = authenticity” and try something new. After four seasons...

Did you watch Series 5? If so, what did you think? I just got done watching it and I’m very meh about the new group. Like, they’re individually interesting characters, but the plotting felt lame and less “real” than in past series (e.g. Rich).

Anonymous asked: Are you doing anything from now until the end of the year that you're really looking forward to?
bluebeadsandbones asked: Soo-oo-oo.. What's our band gonna be called? What are your go-to Taco Bell items? Did you get your parents or Drew any funny holiday presents?
robotroadhouse asked: Let's pretend you have to create new ice cream flavors based on bands and/or rock performers. What flavors do you create?
nesbittslimesoda asked: What are you most looking forward to about 2012?

I am having literally the most boring work day of my entire young life. I am begging you to ask me some questions so that I do not have to spend the next 5 hours fighting back tears as I read obits from this incredibly sad New York Times interactive obituary thing.

Alana talks a lot about the band we’re all going to start..
Can we please just start that band already? My hair is getting all long and witchy and I still have no musical talent whatsoever, so I’m basically ready.
I mean, I know how to play 3/4 of “Say it Ain’t So”, plus I can make a...
welcome 2 the tumblr
theremixbaby:
Since 2011 is almost over and since I reached 200 followers last night (although I now have 202 followers! hey yall), I decided to make a list of my best/favorite/most significant tumblr posts over the past year. I tried to avoid posts that were actually just extended commentary on a reblog, and unfortunately that means a lot of my most interesting work has been excluded. But so...

“You could be their Debbie Googe!”
– Drew encourages me to try out for a bassist opening in one of my preferred local bands.

Let’s talk about our flaws! I am shameless eavesdropper. I love listening to couples fight in restaurants. Sometimes I put my bag on the BART seat next to me. I don’t really care for exercise unless it’s a long walk. I will choose bread over a fresh vegetable the majority of the time. Sometimes I forget to water my plants. I’m mean when I’m hungry. Sometimes I compare my...
Anonymous asked: i agree with the general missive, but i think clark is a rather difficult case. certainly the focus on her looks is inordinate and often kind of insulting, but she's also a particularly visually compelling musician (visually compelling being distinct from simply attractive). i think there's definitely something deliberate in the contrasting of this very delicate, feminine appearance and...

Sure, people talk about how male musicians look, I guess, but I don’t think it happens to the degree that it happens with female musicians. Like, I read some reviews of Mirror Traffic this year and some profiles of Stephen Malkmus, but no one was like:
Visually, Malkmus has a long and graceful neck, seemingly better suited for Elizabethan England than...
leftofsound asked: Do you know the author Laura Goode, and more specifically her book Sister Mischief? I just read a review and it sounds like something you would probably immensely enjoy
Anonymous asked: maybe a stupid question, but you say you wish people wouldn't comment on Annie Clark's beauty - or any female artist, is that right? I'm just kind of wondering why, if it is because you're tired of how people tend to look at a singer's beauty if she's a women, or just people talking about looks in general, cause to me it seems like people comment on male singer's...

I feel like my thoughts on this walk a fine, yet confusing, line. I mean, when I read stuff like, “So should we never speak about ‘women in music’? Rather, let’s speak about music. Let’s discuss talented artists and bands that are impressive because of what they’re doing, not because a...
