Tumblr Etiquette: Those Red Arrow Things
TUMBLR USERS!
I’m going to get as ahead of this as I possibly can. Just because you CAN put a red arrow next to your posts so that they “pop” on other people’s dashboards doesn’t mean you should do it for every pet post that you like slightly more than your usual. Don’t devalue your usual content, people. It already strikes me as something giving me permission...
Why isn't there an asynchronous mobile version of...
I’d love to look at my phone at dinner and be all “EXCELLENT. My deal for Water Works went through. Now to start saving money for that house on Baltic Avenue,” annoying everyone.

smulligan replied to your post: Puppy Bowl Predictions, Including Another Hospitality Song I’m Loving
Where did you find these? They’re not on the starting line up and I LOVE THAT BULLDOG SO MUCH.
Ah! I didn’t even realize that Animal Planet released their starting lineup. My Puppy Bowl predictions are all fiction, which I now regret, because I could’ve been using real puppy...

Puppy Bowl Predictions, Including Another...
In my Songs post this week, I posted my Super Bowl predictions. Since I’m not a fan of the Giants or the Patriots (the latter of which I hate with the passion of a thousand fiery suns), those predictions got thrown in as part of a bigger post. But this… is…
THE PUPPY BOWL
2 teams of puppies enter. About a dozen puppies who don’t realize they’re on any sort of team...

Do you have 33 minutes? Good!
I will now start including Rdio widgets to these, due to Spotify’s new listening limits. If it turned out you burned your Spotify limit for the month, you can head on over to Rdio to listen as well as listen through the Grooveshark widget. The Rdio widgets only provide previews, because they want you to visit their site to listen to full songs. Other than that,...

Read this frightening Gawker recap of an NYC... →
…and recoil at the awfulness of it, before realizing the irony of all us becoming our parents. To quote the wise old Abraham Simpson:
I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was, and now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s “it” seems weird and scary to me.
For a second, I wondered if this was my “GET OFF MY LAWN!” moment, but then I realized, no. It is the...

WatchWatch David Lynch’s new Signature Cup Coffee commercial which is all weird because David can’t help himself
I’d love to try a cup, except I’m a little bit afraid of hallucinating a creepy baby monster thing that won’t stop crying or something.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to embed the video here (probably because I just can’t), but it stars Aubrey Plaza laying waste to a funeral. You CAN watch it over at EW.com, though. Here’s a widget from which you can download the MP3, as well. Saying this isn’t similar to Fleet Foxes’ sound would be an understatement, but it’s a damn good song...

A word about two of the best shows I've ever been...
I meant to write a little bit about Jeff Mangum’s show over at BAM last weekend in my music post this morning, but to do so would’ve been unfair to the experience a lovely young lady and I had.
And was it ever an experience.
If you’re not a fan of Jeff or Neutral Milk Hotel, you might as well stop reading because this lovefest will completely nauseate you.
Jeff Mangum...

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - The Death of You
I don’t know the actual story behind what happened here, but I’m going to throw wild, irresponsible conjecture and speculation out there anyway. Noel Gallagher and brother Liam famously never got along, and the duo didn’t really get along with anybody else either....

Harvard study says the secret to being a hipster... →
Since everybody’s been trying to define what a hipster is for years now, let’s put the issue to bed, because Harvard’s spoken, and that means science has decided to take it from here, thanks.
Basically, the secret to being hip is that your tastes not line up with those of any of your friends. They use The Decemberists’ in the following, totally-outdated-you-guys example:...

St. Vincent did an awesome thing on Conan, then...
As if to cleanse the palate after that debacle of a Lana Del Ray performance* on SNL, St. Vincent took the stage at the end of Conan’s show one day this week to perform her song, Cheerleader. And my goodness, it was great. First, she paid homage to a famous Elvis Costello moment, in which he and his band played a song not welcome by Lorne Michaels on SNL, after beginning to play a song that...
