It's like with Robyn. With her terribly empowering attitude and severe Swedish pop style (she played Letterman with a band wearing mascot-bear heads), the odds are long on her being blasted by our wasted youth at the keg party in the wheat field. However, anti-guy lyrics like "you're a selfish narcissistic psycho freaking bootlicking nazi creep" ("Handle Me") and her swooping blonde locks are impossible to ignore. So we like her. And we go and see her show where our DJ friends play alongside her and have her picture taken with her where she is flashing a peace sign. We make ghetto slideshows of party pics featuring "With Every Heartbeat" and we YouTube cellphone vids of live acoustic performances of "Show Me Love." We go gaga at her wacky performances on TV via something called redlasso.com. Even Ms. Perez Hilton herself has endorsed the Scandanavian robo-babe. And who notices? Just us.

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.


Dear, dear Governor Sanford

By Dargus on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 7:13 pm

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

 

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

 

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
