They tapdance for percussion!

Do you love Tilly and the Wall yet? Oh my god, you should.

Kimya Dawson is about to have her baby. Read her journal if you're interested. I know I am.

Update!

Kimya had her baby! Panda Delilah was born July 28th at 7:15am and was 8lbs 9oz and 20 1/2 inches long.

I love Japanese TV.

Thanks Matty for the heads up.

Durstbag update.

Looks like Fred Durst was in RI for a reason. Apparently he's directing a film. And according to his myspace account he's marrying a chick from RI. Um. More info here if you give a toot. And a funny related post at Junkiness, filed under Douchebags. Also, Spencer Sloan of goldenfiddle refers to him as the "Limp Bizkit frontdouche". Ha! Christina, is that better than Durstbag?

I think what we've learned here is that Fred Durst is indeed a douchebag, and it's not just me saying it.

Get your summer fill.

A recent shoot Joe and I did.

I'm embarrassed by how excited this is making me.

This will only save me five seconds twice a week, yet I still think it's genius.

Update!
I used it this morning and it only took me two tries. The trial goes through December, fyi.

Shiny and new.

Before

After
Ryan asked me to blog about our new sink. He put it in all by himself (don't tell my co-op board).

The best parts of one of the best movies.

And it's a music video too! It takes a while to start up, but trust me, it's worth it.

Keep diggin' that hole.

Pretty sad.

Mother of god.

What the hell happened to her???

Via What Would Tyler Durden Do?

I so called this.

Big surprise.

Do you like poetry?

If so, please check out my mom's new book. It's called Regrets Only. You can purchase it at Little Pear Press. You can also read about it here or here.

P.S. I took the cover photo!

A Public Service Announcement

According to Gothamist, Shake Shack will have a webcam up this Monday to show the length of the line. Now that Ryan and I have moved, we're an eight minute walk (five minute speedwalk) from Shake Shack. This webcam should come in very handy!


Update!
The Shake Shack webcam is finally up, and the line is currently really fricken' long.


Another update!

I still don't want to stay there though.

Shoppers at Home Depot in MA got something special with their purchases. Via NY Times

I always feed the birds with no pants on, don't you?

Today I looked out the window to find that my across-the-way neighbor was tossing birdseed out the window. Naked. Yes, naked. So I took pictures. I figured that if one is that comfortable with one's naked self, that one won't mind if pictures of said naked self are posted on the internet. Click on the photo for a close-up (you know you want to).

Finally, something good at the McCarren Pool.

From Billboard:
Some of the most popular bands in indie rock will perform this summer at the newly revitalized McCarren Park Pool in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, N.Y. The space opened in 1936 with a pool large enough for 6,000 swimmers but has been closed since 1984; last summer, promoter Ron Delsner Presents announced plans to eventually stage concerts at the venue.

The series will begin July 29 with Bloc Party and Secret Machines, followed the next day by a free performance from Of Montreal. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sonic Youth will team up for an Aug. 11-12 stand, while Deerhoof will perform free on Aug. 13. The lineup is rounded out by Iron & Wine (Aug. 17) and an Aug. 24 triple bill with Neko Case, Joanna Newsom and Martha Wainwright.

-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

You can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster, but they're pretty damn expensive. I say we all go to the free Of Montreal show, huh?

Go green and you'll feel better.

I just signed up to have Green Power through ConEd. It's almost the same price and it's hydro and wind power instead of coal and nuclear power. How great is that?! For you New Yorkers, go here to find out about providers available. I went with ConEd Solutions Green Power, which is just one of the many companies you can choose from.
