Dearest Tumblrs, I am throwing a quite large New Year’s Eve party and have the responsibility of needing to drunkify about 60-70 people. I’m getting a Keg already and a few bowls of hunch punch, but am sort of at a loss for other good “bang for your buck” drink ideas. Your ideas would help. E-mail me at Miseducation at g mail or reblog a brother. Thanks in advance.
And with that, I am officially unsubscribed from...
No, I don’t want to donate money to Progressive organizations that lost money by investing in a Ponzi scheme. Are you going to ask me to donate money to my cousin who always falls for pyramid schemes next?
I can't believe Bowie's real last name isn't...
His real name is David Robert Jones. How do you just make up the name Bowie?
Other real celebrity names I didn’t know:
Jennifer Aniston = Jennifer Anastassakis Probably a good choice.
Ralph Lauren = Ralph Lipschitz The psychotherapist from Rugrats?
Michael Caine = Maurice Micklewhite If I wrote a movie with a character named Maurice Micklewhite, he’d probably have looked like...
“Personally - I’d like Nolan to jettison Bale and make DARK KNIGHT RETURNS...”
– Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News. People need to stop thinking that the only way to tell a good Batman story are to mess with the origin or make him old and crazy. The Dark Knight taught us that decent Batman-in-his-prime stories (that aren’t campy) are practically the only real unexplored...
Study Shows Teens More Popular If They Carry Gene... →
It certainly makes sense, but consider the possibility that this effect isn’t the G-variant promoting popularity, but rather the A-variant promoting unpopularity. A-variant kids could get bullied and not be genetically predisposed to fight back.

U.S. Shows please?
Why I Don't Like That Pitchfork Picked Fleet Foxes...
Because as great at those records are, they still sound way too much like My Morning Jacket to be considered even slightly original.
Here’s my proof:
Find me two bands that are more aesthetically similar. Maybe two singer songwriter folkies? Two power pop emo bands whose members used to be hardcore bands? Okay, hold that thought.
Now think if any other bands in the world sound like those...
Your Personal Year In Review →
My friend Carla’s lessons of the year are more insightful than anything that “Rules for my Unborn Son” douchebag has come up in 300+ tries.

* What are the top three lessons I learned?
1) Don’t trust men
2) Never give a BJ after smoking a lot of pot.
3) Don’t kick nice guys out of your bed because they want to cuddle.

“You’re like a [Blank] with no [Blank], you ain’t got [Blank].”

316. Don't stare directly into a dog's eyes.
Why the fuck not? What kind of crazy shit happened to this guy as a kid? They just stare back at you.

I am being followed...
Don’t feel self-important, I follow a lot of people (but not you anymore, weirdo.) I didn’t realize anybody thought Tumblr’s were especially personal. Do you seriously think I spend any time thinking about who you are or aren’t dating?
Am I supposed to care about shit like that on Tumblr?

With all due respect.
As a means of making one not liable for the consequences of whatever insulting shit you’re about to say, yes it’s a horribly pathetic and overused phrase.
But in a situation where the speaker should probably acknowledge their respect for the person they are about to disagree with (like a judge, police officer or father-in-law) ”with all due respect” can be pretty damn...
WatchRadiohead - Idioteque (live on SNL)
As amazing as this performance is, it’s even better when you remember why it was significant. They played in October of 2000, Kid A had just came out to critical acclaim/bewilderment and the rest America still knew Radiohead as either the makers of “Creep” or “Karma Police.” The number one hit in America was Santana’s...

Langerado 2009
Ugh. After spending all day refreshing the site - I feel like I got coal for Christmas. I’m only really excited about Holy Fuck and Cafe Tacuba.
Ultra’s lineup is so much better and that’s saying something.
laurishly:
Death Cab For Cutie • Thievery Corporation (Live) • Slightly Stoopid • Ryan Adams and the Cardinals • Dashboard Confessional • The Pogues • Matisyahu • Flogging...
WatchPanda Bear playing “Bros” at his Miami show. Word is he got payed 40K to be there for the one off show. He played a bunch of new stuff and the visuals were pretty fucking trippy. Thanks for letting us take advantage of you, art world!
“Grolsch must be Dutch for “free beer at art parties.”
– Passerby at the Panda Bear show last night, which ended up having no guest list at all and was awesome.
