How did I not know about the ‘Record Club’? If you don’t know either, it’s Beck’s side project/experiment where he gathers a troop of [famous] friends and covers an entire album in one day.

Stuff Christians Like →
Hilarious blog. I especially guffawed at the following ones: Fall retreats, Toms Shoes, Reading “love is patient” at your wedding, songs that sound Christian but aren’t, subtly finding out if you drink beer too, rooting for secret Christians on American Idol, calling things “postmodern”, using ‘let me pray about it’ as a synonym for no, wishing you had partied more before becoming a...

Boy, do I love the Between Two Ferns series (not as much as I love it’s predecessor, The Michael Showalter Showalter, though).

Fell in love with The Cool Kids a few years back when they opened the Commodore for M.I.A. . I was hesitant of where to put that last period after ending an acronym in the previous sentence… irregardless - The Cool Kids make you feel like just that - a cool kid.

I love the Onion’s satirical comedy more and more every day. This one really takes the cake though.
