Federal Funding (email list ringtone sample)
by CAKE

Another teeny-tiny taste of CAKE’s new album, due out who knows when. “Federal Funding” sounds awesome but I dunno. I want my political songs subtle. It’ll never be the same CAKE without Greg Brown. However, they recorded this whole album in a solar powered studio. THESE SOUNDS CAME FROM THE SUN.

New Music Video! Vampire Weekend - “Cousins”
Contra due in stores January 12, 2010.

Remember that episode of Doug where some kid named Todd begins obsessing over everything Doug likes until Doug can’t remember if he still even likes the things he likes?

It’s time to stop being skeptical about Vampire Weekend’s new album and start being excited. Cool video, too.

"The 'Going Rogue' Index": TNR's Seyward Darby literally writes the index mysteriously absent from Palin's book

summerstaycation:

Check it out; it’s quite a feat. There’s a high ratio of effort to output, which usually means a staffer got roped into hours of late-night work for the sake of a one-note (but clever) joke.

At TNR, certain triggers, like Sarah Palin, provoke a rabid zealotry that can inspire former reporters-researchers to read and index a 413-page biography in three days. In case you were wondering, it’s not so much a website or a magazine as it is a jihad.

It’s about time Google updated their image search. This is amazing! It still only works with certain queries, but enough to impress.

Someone donated money to enter a raffle (for charity) to choose this girl’s tattoo, and the winner chose for her to represent Michigan for life. Good choice. servemyworldblog: 132 DONORS, $3,815 IN DONATIONS, 2 HOURS WITH THE NEEDLE: The tattoo is finally here! Natalie, the contest winner, paid homage to our home state, the place that holds everything I love, MICHIGAN! Personally, I love this tattoo. As the artist, the incredibly talented and nice Derrek Everette of Broken Art Tattoo in Silver Lake said, “Look in the mirror and tell me you don’t feel bad ass.” THANK YOU: to everyone who donated and reblogged and spread the word <3

The Fantastic Mr. Fox I fully expected I would dislike this movie, yet came out loving it. The animation is not nearly as creepy or jumpy as it seems in the trailers. It looks great, it&#8217;s very funny, and it&#8217;s got just the right amount of Wes-Andersonishness. Funny, though. I was thinking how great it would look in 3D. (Coraline was mind-blowing - stop-motion translates well.)
