I've decided I'm going to start playing songs and...
Dare you challenge me to a douche-off now?
Pursant to my post from last night,
I pulled together a top five best songs of 2011 (equally as inexcusably late), excluding songs that were on albums that made the best albums list.
5. Dave Hause - “C’mon Kid” 4. The National - “Think You Can Wait” 3. Chuck Ragan - “Come Around” 2. Architecture in Helsinki - “Contact High” 1. Frank Turner - “Glory Hallelujah”
Or...
So I realized I never wrote a top ten best albums...
Are you ready for this, Tumblr users who exist in a point in time that’s almost April of 2012?
10. Yuck - Yuck 9. Wye Oak - Civilian 8. Telekinesis - 12 Desperate Straight Lines 7. Red City Radio - The Dangers of Standing Still 6. The Decemberists - The King is Dead 5. Wild Flag - Wild Flag 4. Tom Waits - Bad as Me 3. Andrew Jackson Jihad - Knife Man 2. The Mountain Goats - All Eternals...

I’m trying to figure out a way to phrase this, but I can’t get the right words
but the gist is that in music press I so often see shock when black musicians (usually involved with hip hop) reference or collaborate with “high brow” artists, and in a similar vein I see so many references to “accidental genius” when talking about hip hop albums
it’s this weird thing where it’s...

Ah, Sam Adams Alpine Springs.

“Sorry, we’re having trouble letting you see everything on the Internet. I know, that’s totally our responsibility. Looks like you’ll have to do something else. Oh no!”
Fuck you, Tumblr. You don’t get to tell me how to live my life.
Finished bizarre Steven Wright film, switched to...
Little thing at the bottom of the screen at the start of the theme song said, “When you see the robot, drink!” Anything you say, boss.
I was watching this Steven Wright comedy special,
but it was followed by this really weird, non-comedic short film he made about a soldier having an existential crisis. It stars iena.tumblr.com’s doppelganger. Not Steven Wright. A woman. I’m not trying to tell you that iena.tumblr.com looks like Steven Wright. For the record.

scottfriday:
did you know that the term “honky” originated in the fifties when caucasians would pull up in front of the houses of their dates and honk the horn as a signal to the girl to come out, whereas the black gentlemen of the time would park their cars and go up to their dates’ doors and accompany the ladies to the car? the black guys started calling the white guys honkies. now you know.

They should start a post-hardcore band. Preferably in a place that’s not right outside my window.

Dear an inordinately large number of people,
Don’t listen to fun. It’s just unnecessary. Just listen to The Format. It’s like fun., except not terrible.
Sincerely,
Concerned in Columbus
I grabbed a Red Stripe for a Beer Me Monday...
but figured I could wait until I had caught up on the goings-on of my dashboard before taking the picture. I finished that little bastard in maybe seven minutes tops.
Red Stripe. Why are you so delicious and yet so little. You’ve got to work on that.

Two radios got married. The ceremony was so-so, but the reception was great.
Important joke time on Tumblr.

Internet, I didn't die a horrible death.
Actually, it was quite pleasant.
But my rising from the dead? That was terrible. It was like dying.
Another year, another missed opportunity to buy an...

NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIM THOUGH

Internet, I left you alone for, like, ten minutes
and now you suddenly care about what happens to Pauly Shore. What gives?

Jeff Goldblum just told a guy to take a walk in...
Then he told a kid to “go, uh, buy yourself a pizza. Scram.”
This movie is terrible and I love it.
Currently watching Fay Grim,
which exists in a crazy magical fantasy land where a poet is a “literary celebrity.” His literary agent “would be crazy to drop him” because he is “a gold mine.”
EDIT: OH WAIT NONE OF THIS MATTERS JEFF GOLDBLUM’S IN THIS

It's kind of strange how Tumblr suggests tags
that you only used once in a very specific situation every time you start typing a tag that begins with the same few letters. Can you really imagine using some of those tags more than once?

A luxury: every day, you can wake up and tell yourself, “Well, at least I’m not that guy.”

I've unfollowed two people in the past couple...
primarily because they’d been trying my patience for some time, but on both occasions, the final coffin nail had something to do with KONY 2012.
One was claimed any effort to raise awareness is good, which is of course, false if the initial base of information is misleading, which it is in this case. The other said something about how suddenly half the Internet knows what a monster Kony is...
I had to take a break and do some other things for...
but I got around to finishing Happy Tears. Jesus, do not watch that movie. It’s like a hundred little threads of other movies, tied together by a couple characters. Seriously, the characters are the only consistent part of the movie. Even then, they weren’t developed well at all. As soon as the broached any promising storyline, they immediately shifted focus. I did some research and,...
Or maybe this movie just features Rip Torn's butt.
Why?

Tumblr won't let me have italics again.
This is because I made fun of it yesterday. I’m sure of it. It was a joke, Tumblr. Jeez.

You may say, "But allthewhiskeyinheaven,
there’s just no way you can watch all the movies NetFlix Watch Instantly has that feature criminally under-appreciated actress Parker Posey in them.” To which I say, “Clearly you have underestimated how sick and bed-ridden I am.”
I’m going in reverse chronological order, so I’m starting with Happy Tears, a movie with a 31% Rotten Tomatoes rating. NetFlix...

In the same article, it says,
“Celebrities that use Tumblr include Lady Gaga, Zooey Deschanel, and John Mayer.”
I only follow real celebrities, like Britney Spears, Paul Scheer, and Bill Hitchert.

According to Wikipedia's article on Tumblr,
“Tumblr was inaccessible for 47 hours on December 5, 2010 due to maintenance errors.”
I didn’t even know that December 5th had 47 hours in it.
Are those weird Tumblr icons or weird Missing E...
That weird gray box keeps me from seeing how many notes things actually have. This is happening to other people, right? I’m not hallucinating?
Having no tags is pretty terrible, I'll grant you...
but Tumblr also won’t let me put things in italics today. Instead, it unitalicizes them and removes the space prior to where the italics started.
So when I told you to give me things for being white, know I did so emphatically (and sarcastically, but that’s not the point). And when I told you important things about TV, know I did so in accordance with widely accepted citation...

and catch up on what I’ve missed from this season of Psych. This episode has a guy who played a cult leader on an episode of Buffy as the leader of a commune—okay, as a cult leader.

I had to get sick to do that. We live in strange times, times where my vague Polish ancestry was not enough to afford me this right.Give me things for being white already.

It can’t be done! You might as well just go all kindergarten on it and start double-tapping capslock.
I’m still going to do this anyway.

My left shift key does not work.
That’s like the enter key not working. How can I train myself to use just the right shift key.

They do, don’t they?
Irish whiskey and root beer is kind of mediocre.
The flavors kind of run together. The whiskey starts tasting like root beer, the root beer starts tasting like whiskey. Ehh.
Omaha must have asked me for an abortion,
because I’m about to get deep inside of it.
I'm blogging at you from a bus.
Internet on buses. Busses? Bussses? Yeah, I think it’s bussses. That just looks right.
