I knew The Knife wasn't iamamiwhoami.

They’ve just released their opera on their website and all the songs can be streamed, so it’s obviously not them.
That crosses of them and Christina…still going with Röyksopp.
I’d like it to be Röyksopp but they usually produce with more emphasis on percussive elements than what we’ve heard. I’m guessing it’s a solo female act like Imogen Heap or...

– A long ass video game review on ActionButton.net - I think it’s worth quoting this kind of nerd esoterica for the beauty of the simple point he makes here. It’s why people with decent taste in art can spot shit where everyone sees mindless entertainment.
It’s something especially...

The inventive Spanish restaurant is currently only open for half a year as it is and quite possibly the most difficult reservation in the world. The good news is that he’s compiling everything he learns during his hiatus into an encyclopedia — stocking stuffer in 2014?
I e-mailed for reservations three weeks ago. Here’s hoping that still somehow works out. More on what eating...

When listening to Interpol does anyone else sing along but in Paul Banks voice?
Or am I the only idiot that does that?
Don’t worry Leslie, I do that too :)
Not only am I also guilty of this, but my Paul Banks impression is amazing. It’s true.
Dear Tumblr Staff: Spellcheck issue
ronworkman:
Am I the only person that noticed that the spellcheck within Tumblr recognizes TUMBLR as a misspelled word? To be clear: If I write the name of the site that I blog on in a post, that very site tells me that I am wrong in writing the name of that site in which I am posting it about and also on.
I’m damn near positive the spellcheck comes from your browser and not in any way...
Roger Ebert on Making Out
alwayssassy:
Many teenagers today seem to live as hermits, connecting electronically. Sure, we were accused of “living on the telephone,” but it was to plan or recall or speculate or fantasize or gossip about what had/would/might occur in real life among physical people. I learn young people don’t “date” so much anymore. They “go places in a group of friends.” Jeez, haven’t these kids ever heard...

– - Dude on Twitter.
I’m pretty sure that’s the best telling of that kind of bad taste joke I’ve heard tonight. This is why we don’t watch late night TV anymore, the internet gives us more edgy and borderline offensive one liners than a person could ever want.
Imma drink some Miller High Life, because it’s the champagne of beers. Then Imma...

Sam Mendes Will Direct Bond 23 →

Baffling.
Indeed. What a strange choice.
Daniel Craig has got the chops to inhabit a more emotionally competent Bond and I think that’s reason alone to be excited.
I do wonder what part of the contemporary formula he’ll choose to try to improve though. For all that Bond has changed since the 80s, he’s still fighting uninspired SPECTRE...
