These are incredible, cardboard columns by Michael Hansmeyer, which FastcoDesign dubbed as the most complex architecture in the world. According to Inhabit.com, “The dizzying Doric column variations are created on Hansmeyer’s computer using a subdivision algorithm that allows them to have between 8 and 16 million facets (distinct surfaces).” Uh, whoah.

The Guardian has a nice meet and greet with The Strokes in their Sunday Edition, After all the hiatus talk, and all the talk that the band never really got along and that Julian was a control freak, we are actually beginning to hear very good things about the album. Does it matter? No. They have already solidified themselves in the the world of music as the “polarizing guys,” but we think they are the best of retro rock, so read away.

We were excited about this collaboration from the get-go, and being big fans of The xx like most people in this world, and really loving Gil Scott-Heron’s “I’ll Take Care Of You” last year, this track in particular was of interest. And now it is here, and we like all just the same.

ESPN’s “SportsCenter” was the place where Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, and Craig Kilborn owned nighttime sports. It was a place of laughter, intelligence, and high-brow sports analogies in the mid-1990s. It was our Golden Age, and now it is lost in a sea of Scott Van Pelts, Mike and Mikes, and Stuart Scotts. Not good.
Keith Olbermann just took a job at Current TV, after getting fired/resigning from MSNBC because he pays money to causes he supports (which to be honest, makes us like him more, because we assume Rush Limbaugh is such a cheap motherfucking asshole, a hypocrite as well, that he doesn’t he give money to conservative causes … we digress).
(Olbermann donated $2,400 each to three Democratic candidates for Congress: Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.)
So anyway, this was the chance to make sports cool again, and it won’t happen. Isn’t it amazing that the mid-1990s was a time of intellect in sports…. it wasn’t that long ago. Then we went all JB, Terry, Jimmy and Howie… and the world just went to crap.

A lot of mushrooms went into this album, perhaps one of the last great psych, experimental albums we consider to be landmark. My Bloody Valentine’s sound is still singular in that nobody can repeat it, and in 1991, when the rest of the world was starting to go Nirvana and simple rock, MBV was going introspective and layered. Layered is such a simple way of putting it, but it makes sense.
Loveless begins with “Only Shallow” and ends with “Soon.”

Really? It has come to this? Its amazing how fast the world is spiraling out of control. Sometime, in the distant future, it may stop. Literally, the pace of complete absurdity is going to end, maybe with China taking over the world, maybe with the USA falling like Rome, but it will stop, and these moments we will look back on and say “This was a bad idea.”
From Yahoo: “While the stateside ‘Jersey Shore’ locales have become iconic for our audience, it’s really the constantly evolving dynamic amongst the cast that keeps them coming back each season,” MTV programming vice president Chris Linn said. “Europe is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us.”

When one the world’s most important bittorrent sites says, “The music industry can’t even imagine what we’re planning to roll out in the coming months. For years they’ve complained bitterly about piracy, but if they ever had a reason to be scared it is now. It will be a special surprise for IFPI’s 78th birthday, and we’re thinking of organizing a huge festival in Rome where IFPI was founded.”
We are excited. Very excited.

The quote on Etiquettehell.com says: “Your site has redeemed the web and my faith in humanity that there are some basic, fundamental rules to life and personal relationships- and that the poised will someday be victorious over the tacky heathens of the world!” And now a little video fun:

There really isn’t anything more bizarre than airplane safety graphics. Seriously, they are the most devoid of feeling graphics and cartoons you can ever find. Luckily for us, there is a place in this world wide web that has commentary attached to each amazing “safety tip” you find on an airplane.
