"Google Maps Find of the Day: The Google Maps van runs over a baby deer."

Sorry guys, this might be my new Animal Collective in terms of "constant drip-feed links."

I can't even remember the last time I was inside a Trader Joe's, but I'll bet a lot of my friends will really appreciate this, and I like anything that nods to Águas de Março.

"Unrecognized power relations go unnoticed. The Internet has become a giant premature discussion of canonicity. The top ten list, a stupid try at creating your own system of domination.

The anti-major label discourse has taken focus off the weirdness of expecting musicians to follow an entrepreneur’s model. Self-aggrandizement. Postures of vanity. It all goes uncriticized. Adolescent fixations. Regressive phenomena.

We are all just downstage from American Idol."

Wishing for a quick trip to MTL: "Bring your sketchbook, yarn, or that lump of clay. Floor lamps, pens, knitting needles, and lap desks will be provided. Five bucks admission includes a free cup of hot chocolate or tea. Music will be provided by Kid Koala. Expect a full 5-hour set of some of his favorite quiet time records that he has collected on his travels around the world. Baked goods will be provided by Kid Koala’s wife, Corinne, who dreams of someday opening a bakery in Montreal and would like to try some of her new creations first."
