Almost 800 more titles are about to disappear from... →
That massive section of the Netflix instant website that’s labeled Starz? Yeah, that’s about to disappear, as their partnership with Netflix is about to expire. You know, for a company that claims DVDs are a thing of the past, they’re having a hell of a time holding onto their own streaming titles.

Snowboarding Hurts When You Suck At It, What Songs...
This week, we hit the ski lodge, we play it for today, and we decide we can rhyme at various speeds.
SPOTIFY
RDIO
GROOVESHARK
Ski Lodge - Chandeliers
I went snowboarding for the first time ever last Saturday, and it was fun! I got about as injured, and I was about as terrified, as I thought I would be, but the trip was a blast. I figured, like an idiot, that “hey, I...

of Montreal Got Their Groove Back: What Songs I'm...
This week, I can’t think of a more overlooked album in 2011 than Yuck’s, of Montreal fail to disappoint me for the first time in about 4 years, and Instagram’s an app that photographers hate, but I love.
The Music:
SPOTIFY.
RDIO:
GROOVESHARK, colored to honor the New York Mets, #8:
The Words:
of Montreal - Dour Percentage
Oh, the irony of going with Dour...

2012 Already Has a Couple of Record of the Year...
Updated to correct where I saw We Are Scientists last year. It was Red Hook, not Williamsburg. Hat tip to Lovely Young Woman!
This week, Childish Gambino hates on n*ggas who blog in all-caps, Annie Clark refuses to be your cheerleader, and Jack White tells us the story of a boy named Billy.

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...

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.
