“FOR SOME REASON LIL B IS STILL ANGRY”

Without fail, the people who come into my apartment to buy from my roommate while I am sitting in the chair that looks out at the rest of the apartment say “Later, man” to me when they leave.

– The story of “It’s the Same Old Song” is pretty cute and charming, and exactly the sort of thing that would make rockist idiots and the Internet spheres that derive their cooler-than-thou ethos from authenticity and originality, but it’s better told by Duke Fakir in front of...

Life at the bottom is devastating You’re hardly ever debated, the party is obligated By suckers that wanna be you and never lived in the Matrix And never ever related to struggle and dedication Your hustle was nominated, anonymous and you faded The promise is that a victory lap is surely awaited They vomited every time that a rapper’s annihilated Just wish ‘em happy belated:...

thethirdshift:
A House GOP memo obtained by Mother Jones argues for a controversial “prenatal discrimination bill” by referring to “black abortions” as distinct from abortions in general and claiming that “abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community.” The memo (PDF) was circulated by Republicans on the House judiciary committee on Monday in advance of Tuesday’s markup of Rep....

Missing the Sleigh Bells show in Gainesville tonight because I forgot it was tonight was only the second-worst part of my night.

This Fox News roundtable on the politics of Planned Parenthood that I am watching is definitely full of facts and love and support for women, and definitely did not have a “Wanna hear a Planned Parenthood joke? Knock, knock. Who’s there? You’ll never know!” interlude. Nope.

(I didn’t like that Howard said “I’ll be spending the next 3-4 years at UM” anyway. Going into college thinking three years? ehhh F that). That being said, Fowler seems like a diva too.

Donating to the Best Music Writing series is the functional equivalent of pre-ordering the 2012 edition of the book—which will collect 2011’s best pieces of criticism, reportage, and other media on music from publications of all types and from all corners of the globe. Why not do so today?

your boss assigns you to spend one day trolling for traffic in the most craven, gross, venal manner possible, and you just do your normal routine, and your day was a big success.
Sometimes I think to myself, “Well, I’m not curing diseases or anything,” when it comes to comparing my own work to writing I don’t find particularly stunning, but I’ll always have B____...

Gainesville smelled like smoke for most of the day today, and you know what is NOT helping that? The herbheads* smokin’ doobies** on my patio.

Noz, boldface mine:
Starlito goes in over Frank Ocean’s “We All Try,” which would be suspect as fuck if he was any other rapper. But Lito is on the very short list of rappers dynamic enough to actually make something happen on top of a popular ass beat in these days of everyone lazily jacking beats for blog looks.[4] The thing about Lito is he fucking gets it – the difference between biting and...

You’re not the first person to say that. In fact, for all of the love dude has been getting it seems like there are still quite a few people who have been vocally resistant to jumping in with his catalog. I don’t know if this is because of his occasional cheesiness (which is wholly negated by his honesty and rapping ability) or just because he gets culturally lumped in with a lot of...

Like, having strong opinions about stand-up comics is what people who took AP classes do instead of quote Anchorman.

Before, when we are still at the hotel table, chamomile tea and flickering candle in front of her, she tells me this: “Nothing has turned out like I expected to. Some things have been better, and some things have been much, much, much worse.”
I ask her whether everything she’s been through has changed how she thinks about love.
“Like I said, there’s not an area of...
