My freshman roommate just reminded me of this song and how we used to wake up to it every morning. I’m so excited to have rediscovered it. There’s something about the lyrics and the juxtaposition (god I hate that word) of talking about punk rock but not being a punk rock song that it is [...]

So I have two options: 1) Give my parents my iPod and throw down a couple hundred quid for a new one or 2) Keep my scuffed up iPod Classic and fill it up with sweet mixes to burn for my parents so they stop listening to Blessed Union of Souls for the summer. Option [...]

Fall comes tomorrow. I’m almost sad to see summer go, mostly because it was a season of indulgences. There was the paid internship at one of the only companies not going under right now. There were home cooked meals for which I didn’t have to pay. There were weekends at the lake. There was ample [...]

Will.i.am and John Legend perform “Yes We Can” For security reasons, I chose not to bring my iPod with me anywhere. To compensate for this self-imposed lack of tunes, I paid more attention to the songs played at the various events, mainly between speakers and underneath the announcer’s voice (who I swear announces for the [...]

So Steph’s Dad finally sent her the *winning* music from Carnival 2008. I swear, both of these songs I was singing in my sleep until about yesterday. So I supposed it’s appropriate that I get the songs now to listen to in the dark and freezing library trying to navigate through the continuity vs. change [...]

So I was studying for Macro Theory (surprise surprise) just now while listening to Cake’s latest release “B-sides and Rareties.” I don’t know how I feel about the CD as whole; it seems like they can’t quite decide if they’re country, folk or alternative. I suppose that’s what you get when you combined old with [...]

As economists and politicians alike are coming to terms with the fact that economic levels and indicators and all the works are perhaps not going to continue to grow and hence may return to levels from a few years ago, it appears that there is one return that no one predicted: the return of the [...]

I usually don’t tell jokes. (I rely on my impeccable wit and incisive cynicism.) But I particularly like this one. So, St. Peter wants to go on vacation and he’s asking God for advice. “What do you think about outer space,” St. Peter asks. “Mmm,” replies God as he shrugs his shoulders. “It’s all right, [...]

Gilmore Girls is officially over. It was a very pleasant and resolved ending. (I mean, come on, Rory’s working for Obama. How could it be more perfect?) But I seriously think that while watching the episode I was the most emotional I’ve been since my mom dropped me off at Middlebury. Oh man. How am [...]
