Travel Mugs: Reading Rainbow
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2010/05/reading-rainbow.html
Friday, May 7, 2010. Here are some things I think you should absorb:. It's not every day that you can say your boyfriend published an interview with Noam Chomsky. We took our Noamward Bound roadtrip in February, and the results of our rendezvous at MIT are now up; here's Ollie grilling the good Mr. Chomsky. About the government's involvement in science and the arts. Also, if you count excerpts from Dreams From My Father. Joe Biden's dirty mouth has nothing on Obama's. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Travel Mugs: Curve Ball, Fowl Ball
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2010/06/curve-ball-fowl-ball.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Curve Ball, Fowl Ball. Ratatat's new album is coming out a week from today. The video for their single "Party with Children" was released a few weeks ago to a large, collective question mark from the blogosphere. An attempt to catch the tail end of the kitschy bird trend. Octopi are the new owls, anyway)? I like to see it as an homage to Jeph Jacques' yelling bird comics. Regardless, the little parakeet is pretty cute:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Curve Ball, Fowl Ball.

Travel Mugs: June 2011
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Stepping Down from the Blogging Platform? I miss having time to listen to new music every week, gchat about zebras, and peruse the internet more freely. Why did I feel like I didn't have spare time during college? I probably should have converted to tumblr about 2.5 years ago. Or gone the more somber Wordpress route. Maybe I should just forgo tumblr and wait for the next big thing? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stepping Down from the Blogging Platform? Deep, Dark Secrets.

Travel Mugs: May 2010
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. A Band by Any Other Name. I have a cousin in Ohio who is Wedding Present-obsessed. He persuaded me to go see them up at the Beachland Ballroom sometime during my junior year of high school. Being in that. Phase, I purchased a concert t-shirt. By the time the third person asked me, "The Wedding Present? What does that mean? Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Janelle Monae and Missed Opportunities. I have some strong opinions about where the school's pop culture programming is headed, but this i...

Travel Mugs: November 2009
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Yeah, the I-tunes store is impersonal, but so convenient that you pretty much have to use it. And Starbucks, even with their sappy CD collections and fake Italian product names, provides the only public restrooms in Center City. Bombarded with all-too-easy choices like these, What's a small business-supporting music and macchiato connoisseur to do? Monday, November 23, 2009. So we added a postscript: "No questions asked.". Thanks for the sign, Meredith. Friday, November 20, 2009.

Travel Mugs: Janelle Monae and Missed Opportunities
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2010/05/janelle-monae-and-missed-opportunities.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Janelle Monae and Missed Opportunities. David Bazan played way too large a role in my college selection. When I went to visit my alma mater, Pedro the Lion was playing at the school that weekend, largely boosting my opinion of the school. I ended up there eight months later, knowing little else about the place (true story: up until two weeks in I thought the mascot was an eagle. It was, in fact, a falcon.). Also, after watching this, I want saddle shoes in the worst way:. Music I L...

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. I have a new role model: Louise Brown. This 91-year-old Scottish woman just borrowed her 25,000th book from the library. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Are you there, God? It's me, Will Arnett, asking for boobs. Is the first thing that has made me laugh out loud at work in a long time. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Philly, I love you but,. Reading about Bon Iver Indigo Girls. Is making me want to move to California. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Thursday, July 9, 2009. Wednesday, July 8, 2009.

Saturday, September 26, 2009. Here you go for a cute moment of the day! Tuesday, September 22, 2009. A Vacation in a Far Away Forest (continued). Recommended: Kyp Malone's (of TV on the Radio) new solo project, Rain Machine. Listen to his first single, "Smiling Black Faces" here. Also recommended: Read Paste's interview with Malone.

Travel Mugs: June 2009

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Things I Thought Fishtown Residence Would Shield Me From (part 1? 1) Eerily timely poor taste. Spotted at 9:00 am Friday, June 26 in Fishtown. Screen printed Michael Jackson homage t-shirt. I'm not sure if the wearer knew if it was ironic or not. But that's the least of my questions. How he could have possibly had it screen printed in time? Are there t-shirt shops that have homage t-shirts pre-made before celebrities die? 2) Duct Tape Wars. 3) A leopard-print Snuggie. The celebrat...

Travel Mugs: Beyonce's Glasses (and conflagration)
http://travelmugs.blogspot.com/2010/05/beyonces-glasses-and-conflagration.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Beyonce's Glasses (and conflagration). This music video is nostalgic for two reasons. 2) Every time I see big fires like Beyonce's explosion I think about the word "conflagration," which I misspelled in a spelling bee once, and proceeded to cry in the bathroom until the next class period. Enjoy this diva's somewhat successful attempt at re-defining the word "diva" and at following up what Kanye West once called "one of the best music videos of all time! May 11, 2010 at 11:02 AM.
