Intellect and the Art of Corolla Maintenance
So as I was driving home from work over lunch a few weeks ago, when a cop and I passed each other. I think he probably assumed I was an 18-19 yr old speeder because I’m so freaking young looking (or it might also have been my expired inspection…whatever whatever)…so I was jammin’ out hard to the new Kanye CD (specifically Monster) but having an intense gut feeling that this...

“No no no. Emmet has a good story AND he works hard to take care of his mom AND...”

Boo Boo...I miss your snuggles.
How Glee made Kings of Leon worth listening to... →
I’m over Kings of Leon hard, but I’m so glad they’re not total sell-outs (sans their newest album which is lackluster in my opinion)…Glee, you were good for like a season, now get over yourself…if 7 year olds need help “finding music” their parents need counseling, not an hour of your lame crap show. Done.

I’m so pumped…my interview with Kyle Andrews will be reprinted in Punchline Magazine…somedays you just want to slap someone out of anger, but today, I want to abuse and discipline someone out of sheer joy…kinda like playing “Slap the Bag” with a nice Franzia.

Manon and on...
Last night was really great. Hipster Glasses (HG – I’m still working on a nickname, give me time) and I caught The Grand Nationals at Manon in Lambertville, as my previous post mentions. It was all really lovely. The atmosphere was amazing, the wine not only did its job but it was tasty, and the band sounded really spectacular (seriously GO SEE THEM AT THE TIN ANGEL!!)…I even received...

Ou est Monsieur Pierre Soupçon?????
Normally, as industry standard dictates, Monday sucks, but today it doesn’t super suck like the rest of yours do and that makes me soooo happy. This particular Monday night activity outweighs the bitter 9 degree temps, the non-fat creamer (who’s the ahole in my office who did that?), and the daily routine of being asked “did you get my email” 300 times (yes I got your...
Yet another reason Music Chicks are better than... →
And I love this little anecdote. So relatable. Listen, sometimes you guys do stupid crap and it’s important to emphasize that you’re only allowed to do said stupid boy things if we cool chicks say so…or if you’re super cute or nice or funny or play in a band called Wavves.
Now I’m even more ready to see them live. Love & music…sigh.

Found: Thought of the Day: Uninspired Vegetable...
I thought my lunch today was pretty uninspiring…it not only made me question why iceberg lettuce even exists, it caused me to group said lettuce into the same catagory as cockroaches…bc what’s the point? Then here I am, sitting at my desk eating a salad that reminds me of cockroaches…I guess even cockroaches have Buddha nature’s…so as I’m meandering...

Someone who shall remain nameless with philanthropic hipster glasses just landed us twwwwooooo tickets to the Best Coast/Wavves gig at The Starlight Ballroom…joy joy joy.
See kids, it pays to blog, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Also, I just developed the best station in Pandora history..Best Coast, Wavves, FOALS, and a dash of The Smiths. So hot right now.

Ok..Allllright...Ok...We have BIG Tour Stuff to...
I remember this time last year…and it wasn’t pretty. I was in the penultimate winter blues mood, I was a little loveless, a little surly, and I literally thought I might be clinical when I started crying thinking of never seeing green grass again. Yes, I know, it’s all very tragic, but I don’t want you to worry about me this year. I mean, you should always worry about me...

These guys were not only a good group of musicians but they were a good group of peeps….check em out, listen to their stuff, and like them.

GPOYW: Microwave Chef Edition...
Yep…that’s right. It’s a gratuitous gluten free microwave prepared egg white sammie. Ahh…the joys of microwave cooking in the morning.
If I were on the Next Food Network Star and they asked me what my theme was it’d go: I’d like to cater my potential TV show to those who imbibe laziness, lack of creativity, and poor punctuality…as well as bachelors,...
I have to clean out my car in a wintry mix for fear a crack head will break into it tonight and steal the bag full of volleyballs, Doc Martens (16 holes), countless shoes, random change, empty coffee mugs, broom, Falcons hoody, and yoga mat and sell them to feed their jones’…the things I do for a night on the town.

Birds of a feather...
As previous past posts have indicated, I’m not a huge fan of fashion blogging….don’t get me wrong, I do follow a few people on tumblr who have great little outfits and give me ideas for the clothing orgy that resides in my apartment. Regardless of my disinterest in people who think fashion will save the day, I have to post the lastest development in my follicular...

I have decided....
…my zodiac sign will be determined based on which sounds more attractive. I’ve been a Capricorn up until now, but with this whole shift and the addition of Ophiucius (I prefer to pronouce it Ophuckus)…I’m now a Sagittarius. Granted, I feel like maybe I was living a bit of a lie in being a Cap…the running theme is they’re conservative squares who really like...

Remember when you were a kid, and you’d be super excited to wear a very special outfit on your birthday and you had it all picked out and it was a little dressier than normal but that was ok because you could do what you wanted on your big day.
Well on my big day (shamelss plug, it’s today!!!), life reminds me I am no longer part of the “special outfit” years and...

Pretty much sums it up for me... →
Sometimes when you’re watching a pizza commercial your mouth starts to water, your belly starts to growl, and you itch for a bite…other times you want to go straight to your local worship center, lock all your doors, and keep your children away from the delivery guys…

Is it 5:30 yet?
We, in the office, decided to list the Top 10 Unsexy Accents (we only got to 4 but they’re like REALLY unsexy and no offense if you are one of these, particularly #4):
1. PA Dutch
2. Roxborough
3. Old Jewish Man (we’re allowed to do this bc the suggestion came from a Jewish guy)
4. Swedish Muppet Chef (which ties closely into the PA Dutch accent)

“I am trying to find wedding reception decorations and apparently no one seems to...”
– - Chowey, there’s nothing that doesn’t say classy about those things, add in an “Old Fashioned” Booth and The Game of Things and you’re pretty much describing my ideal wedding.

4. Token hot hipster chick
5. My heart wanted to explode when I heard it

The Decemberists in January! →
NPR offers The new Decemberists album ‘The King Is Dead’ online for your listening pleasure!!!
Now let the self absorbed whining commence:
I’m starting to worry my legitimacy as a music writer is compromised because some of my best information comes from my well researched friends who probably sit online at their desks all day learning epic tidbits about emerging artists while...
