Comfortably numb
I’m unsure what’s caused this happen, but for the past few weeks I’ve become a serious TV addict, watching entire seasons of Heroes, Weeds, and most recently, Californication. I’ll normally only have the TV on in the background to watch sports (Knicks/Mets) and the occasional Daily Show/Colbert Report, so it’s been a weird adjustment for me to waste such a large...

Deerhunter - Agoraphobia (Microcastle, 2008)
...
My parents are on facebook, although they only go on every few months or so. Anyway, this morning I log on to unexpectedly see this at the top of my newsfeed:
“[Mom] and [Dad] are now listed as married. They have made it clear on Facebook that they’re hitched.”
Thanks for making it official guys!

The newly redesigned Tumblr front page (“explore”) is awesome. (via danhacker)

Welcome to Opentape! (open-source Muxtape clone)
Muxtape should take this as a compliment. This was sort of inevitable in light of the site’s recent shutdown too.

Is Jon Stewart the Most Trusted Man in America? →
‘For all its eviscerations of the administration, “The Daily Show” is animated not by partisanship but by a deep mistrust of all ideology. A sane voice in a noisy red-blue echo chamber, Mr. Stewart displays an impatience with the platitudes of both the right and the left and a disdain for commentators who, as he made clear in a famous 2004 appearance on CNN’s “Crossfire,” parrot party-line...

Electric Six at Maxwells 8-13-08
The show last night in Hoboken was really fun. They played through all of their crowd-pleasers and nearly the entire place was jumping and dancing around. I was really impressed with lead singer Dick Valentine’s stage presence, and found myself cracking up at his banter in between songs, most of which was based upon his prediction that Mitt Romney would stage an unprecedented comeback...
WatchThis song is really catchy. (via perpetua)
NYC Summer Streets 2008 →
“Sami recently wrote about New York City’s Summer Streets, three consecutive Saturdays, August 9th, 16th, and 23rd, when almost 7 miles of streets will be closed to cars (like the original Ciclovia in Bogota) in NYC.”
This is a fantastic idea.

Reflections on All Points West 08/08/08
Liberty state park was really nice with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as a backdrop.
Kathryn Calder of the New Pornographers is still gorgeous. Their set was fun as usual, but it’s always somewhat disappointing when Neko Case doesn’t show. I’m always hoping for Dan Bejar to make an appearance but that has yet to happen.
Mates of State were very good even though...
