Song of the Day: Neon Indian — “Deadbeat Summer” (Though I imagine my summer will be the opposite of deadbeat, I don’t mind this being the soundtrack.)
“The best studies we can find say we are a nation of over 20 million bloggers, with 1.7 million profiting from the work ,and 452,000 of those using blogging as their primary source of income. That’s almost 2 million Americans getting paid by the word, the post, or the click — whether on their site or someone else’s. And that’s nearly half a million of whom it can be said, as Bob Dylan did of Hurricane Carter: “It’s my work he’d say, I do it for pay.” — Mark Penn
Song of the Day: Deer Tick — “Still Crazy After All These Years” (I really enjoyed the two songs I heard off of Deer Tick’s last album, and they’ve got a new one coming out in June. AD has the first track, as well as this Paul Simon cover.)
Considering there are now multiple versions of the Creme Egg, I was unfortunately rendered un-American this Easter.
Seeing that I Twittered “You’re not a real American unless you celebrate the death of Jesus by indulging in a Cadbury Creme Egg or six” on Good Friday, I find this image delightful in ways that I truly can’t articulate. Seriously, I want a print of this blown up and placed into a big fucking frame to hang in my home. I also know a few Jesus Freaks I’d like to gift this to.
Song of the day: Telekinesis — ‘Coast of Carolina’ (I happen to live on the coast of Carolina, where it’s 70s and sunny. This is a particularly good soundtrack for that.)
Song of the Day: Broken Social Scene — “Stars and Sons” (<3 this song before, and even more after “Half Nelson”)
Song of the Day: Luna — “23 Minutes to Brussels” (off Penthouse, an excellent album acquired on recommendation of someone on Twitter; thanks, man!)
