  2. Via ganzer, who I’m really hoping creates an annotated version that points out all the Americanisms, Pop-Up Video-style. While I’m waiting for that, a historical antecedent…

    …in which our hero fakes his way through a randy song in a made-up language. In both cases, the thrill and delight come from the little bits we can understand, amid all the chaos.

  3. [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    Dear friend of mine
    Been way too long
    Won’t talk to me
    Can’t run

    Punched you in the 
    Can’t write a good
    Can’t face anyone

    New-old music by my darling Yoko.

  5. Resolved: There are wrong ways to be semi-nude.

    • Thumbs down for ladies: Shirtless and bra-less with jeans.
    • Thumbs down for dudes: Shirt up top, nothing below.

    Shirt plus undies is approved for both. (Dudes must remove socks.)

      Thoughts?

    • Via thematerialworld: Cheese On Bread at Pussy Faggot on January 7, 2012. Fearless leader Dan (front right, in shorts) summarizes the evening thus:

      Daoud: I’m glad we decided to go with red, cause I happened to pack this, and this is the only red shirt I own.

      Dan: I love that this is your version of a red shirt.

    • Sasha Frere-Jones on Drake and the dissolution of genre: What is exciting, beyond the music itself, is how Take Care shows that hip-hop (and pop in general) is in a period of transition in which formal constraints have dissolved almost entirely. How do you even know whether something is hip-hop? Its characteristic rhythms and sounds can be found everywhere in pop these days. We may have finally reached the moment when breaking popular music into genres is pointless.

    • A year ago I picked up an odd habit: If I was feeling especially lousy, and I happened to be sitting in front of my computer, I’d quickly snap a picture with the built-in webcam. I don’t have exact dates for these, but I believe they’re fairly evenly spaced over time. The first was taken in December of 2010, the second just a few minutes ago. Dejection and self-examination tend to go hand-in-hand for me: If I’m upset about work or a girl, I’ll zero in on a bad haircut or an acne scar, as if to intensify the mental narrative by illustrating it with something physical. The quirk of this particular experiment is that the instant I’ve captured the image, I feel a tiny bit better.  A year ago I picked up an odd habit: If I was feeling especially lousy, and I happened to be sitting in front of my computer, I’d quickly snap a picture with the built-in webcam.

    • Me: I get so down about this stuff — and then, instantly, I start scolding myself for complaining at all. Like, “Some people will never have any idea what it’s like to have what you have! Man up, dude!” But I don’t know if that’s the right impulse. Because what I end up becoming is just a privileged person who’s sad and pissed off all the time, and doesn’t use that privilege to live a fulfilling life or do anything worthwhile for anybody else. Lars: So you’re Kanye? Me: I guess… I guess so. I guess I’m Kanye. Me: I get so down about this stuff — and then, instantly, I start scolding myself for complaining at all.
