And then Weiner says, “So, listen, something I want to talk to you about.” I went, “Uh-oh,” and he went, “Yeah, sorry.” And then he broke out some really really good brandy. Some ridiculous brandy that had been in casks for half a century or something. You know you’re in trouble at that point…. I was upset. I’d grown very fond of the character. I had to shed a tear in the car on the way home that this is the way it turned out.
Jared Harris upon finding out Lane Pryce was going to commit suicide
You guys, I’m worried about Jared Harris! Has anyone checked on him lately??

It’s like the way Don fired Lane. I wonder if Weiner told him that he’s started over many times before, and that this moment is the hardest part.

100 HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION: Boy The Earth Used To Talk To
“Youth Culture Phenomenon X was empirically better when I was younger” is the kind of argument that young, supposedly clued-in critics gleefully mock whenever some arteriosclerotic daily-newspaper hack writes a column about how music hasn’t meant shit since the breakup of the James Gang. (Or Pavement.) It’s lazy and specious when those guys make it and it’s lazy and specious here.
Would it be inappropriate, considering the subject matter, to say that he Ethers Rabin?
Also, it’s remarkable, considering their substantive differences, the way this narrative maps on to gentrification stories, too. You know the ones I’m talking about: you’re at a party and someone starts waxing poetic about how this neighborhood was great when they and their friends were the ones gentrifying it, but now that other people are gentrifying it, it’s gone to shit.

Taco Bell is on such a roll after they let Great Plains and Midwest stoners begin to craft their menu.
Nesbittslimesoda keeps it real. Also, I may have explained my excitement for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to my roommate the other day by comparing it to Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Tacos. “You know, it’s like ‘Well, this one thing is awesome, and so is this other thing, so let’s see what happens when we put them together.’”Posted on June 3, 2012 with 2 notes

So In My G4 Over Da Sea?
“Communist Mic (Neutral Milk Hotel vs. Nas)” is really good.
Not sorry.

The new Justin Bieber song is actually pretty good.
Just putting it out there. I don’t know what this means, either.

Look, Amazon.com, I recognize that the concept of a “modern classic” is entirely socially constructed, and I would be the last to argue for some essentialist definition of the term. That being said … Matchbox Twenty’s Yourself Or Someone Like You? Really?

If I told you there was an album featuring In The Aeroplane Over The Sea mashed up with different hip hop tracks called In My G4 Over Da Sea, is that something you might be interested in?
What if I told you one of the song titles was “King of Jesus Walks, Pts 2 and 3”?
Kind of excited, kind of scared. But it sounds pretty good so far.

The Lichtenstein retrospective was great, and the Modern Wing was wonderful as always. But this bit of textual explanation remains my favorite thing in the whole museum. Dude and his wife straight-up bought A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, and then he wrote— I’m sorry, enthused— about said acquisition from an ocean liner.
“YOLO,” he then said.
Okay, he probably didn’t. But he should have.
