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. They’ve done about 5 of them so far. Here is one from the day they did INXS’ Kick, with the likeness of Liars, Annie Clark and Daniel Hart from St. Vincent, Sergio Dias...

I’d like the record to show that I’ve had a crush on JGL since 3rd Rock From the Sun, and especially after 10 Things I Hate About You.

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...

Oh wow, didn’t see this until just now somehow. If you are familiar with Seth Galifianakis (refer to Live At The Purple Onion - aka you can borrow it from me), you will especially appreciate this.

Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times
   Watched Charlie Chaplin’s final contribution to Hollywood silent film, Modern Times (1936), in a lecture yesterday, and just loved it.

   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. When I listen to “Black Mags” I feel like I should be playing basketball. If you’re not into them - take the...
