Assuming you’ve more or less combined financies and can afford the electricity, water (if you don’t live in NYC) and whatever other bills you have, division of labor is probably the most important one here, especially if one of you works longer hours than the other. It’s important for the person working longer hours Read more

I was at the MSG show and I was positive then that they’d reunite at some point. The very fact that its considered cliche will provide Murphy with tons of self-aware (and possibly self-loathing) material. This reunion is the quintessential LCD thing to do and I’m totally ok with that. Read more

I will never understand the appeal of this band, and that’s ok. Read more

I would fully recommend listening to these books vs. reading them. I have listened to a few and based on the pronunciations of some names and locations, I would never even come close. It bugs me when I read books (except for fantasy books for some reason) to not know whether or not I am correctly pronouncing things Read more

Also consider Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q novels, beginning with The Keeper of Lost Causes and Karin Fossum’s Inspector Sejer books, beginning with Eva’s Eye/Eva’s Oye/In the Darkness or whatever it’s titled in the U.S. The “new” Girl/Steig novel is horrendously bad, even if you somewhat liked the originals.

If Cleveland is going to cut everyone who didn’t show up then next year’s roster is going to be Joe Thomas, Gary Barnidge and 51 people plucked from the stands. Read more

Does anyone remember the game “Perfection”? THAT is the best gift for a kid you hate. It’s scientifically designed to be nearly impossible and half the time you’re struggling so hard to hurry up your hands would be shaking and then you’d just feel like such an asshole when you couldn’t manage to get the octagon in as Read more

I remember talking to a friend who was backstage for their tour with Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 2000. He said Weiland had a guy he paid to follow him around 24/7 to make sure he stayed clean. It’s unfortunate that you can realize your addiction is that serious and yet can’t manage to stop it. I can’t even imagine how Read more

Props to Weiland for not getting his pants twisted over Range Life. Read more

Fun Fact; STP was originally going to stand for “Shirley Temple’s Privates.” * Read more

By the time the Wildabouts came around, Scott had given up. You can see it. I don’t think he necessarily wanted to overdose (which is where my money’s at for cause of death, for obvious reasons), but I think for the first time, he didn’t care if he did. Gotta be tougher than one can imagine to go from arenas and Read more

I am totally freaked out right now. I heard this song this morning in the car. When this part came on, I felt the way you just wrote. Read more

I’ll miss you Will. Your numbered paragraphs were odd and your letter grades always seemed to be just randomly selected. But you always seemed to convey a love of movies and film. Best of luck with your work at The New Republic. Read more

I just spent a week in New York after 3 years in the Chicago suburbs. Guess what? New York is kind of a crowded shithole, full of assholes. Read more
