I love how he’s doing this all from Thailand btw.

i probably love london more than i love new york, but this is bloody brilliant.
Your food sucks. It all tastes like ass until American chefs take two months to do better what you’ve spent hundreds of years sucking at.
The service in your restaurants sucks, because you have to instruct people how to tip by putting a mandatory charge on their tab, like many...

Magazines: “YOU WORK FOR VALUABLE EXPOSURE?” Jaded freelancers: “No. Will work for rent money, however!” There you go.

A couple months ago, I had a chat with someone who does a lot of writing for Condé Nast’s ladymags and she was seriously bumming about how she can’t get $3-4/word anymore. I wanted to lob a pineapple at her, because I’ve never known that luxury and in this kind of economic climate, that’s one of the stupidest expectations anyone can have. This article would’ve...

On LAST.FM, you can do a “search” for those whose tastes match yours. So naturally, I inputted my Top 3 “most played” bands: Girls Aloud (2,452 plays) and Bauhaus (1,054 plays) and The Kills (1,048 plays). Guess how many “matches” came up? NONE. My tastes are unparalleled. Anyway, here’s a thing on Girls Aloud:

STOP MAKING SENSE.
In the past 2 hours, I’ve taken a turn for the worse. Nausea sweeps over me, rendering me helpless and weak. I’m slowly dying—(OK, SHUT UP—ED).

Pop's Top 10 Most Mediocre of 2009
ohrohin:
A caveat, first: Mediocrity isn’t bad. Some (almost all?) of these songs are among my most-played tunes this year. That said, they’re not remarkable and most of them will (hopefully!) recede into the white noise of 2009 as we make our first brave step towards the last year of the noughties. Well-learned pop listeners will find that RedOne has contributed to two of the songs below. No,...

NY Times: Tailoring The Image To Fit The Clothes →
Wordsmiths image conceptualists unite.
Today is a most unusual day.
I’m wearing my hair in a ponytail. My mood is upbeat—purposeful, even. I’m wearing a t-shirt and flats. I’m cleaning! I’m listening to long-neglected albums and loving it.
Especially noteworthy is the absence of dread and/or malaise that surrounds most holidays. Suspect. But welcome!
