“In fact, the physical act of moving your possessions from Manhattan to Brooklyn is now the equivalent of a two-year M.F.A. program. When you get to the other side, they hand you three Moleskine notebooks and a copy of “Blogging for Dummies.” You’re good to go.”

- Colson Whitehead, from this brilliant essay about Being A Writer Who Lives In Brooklyn.

Why I Hate Music Writers

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:21:37 -0500

The following quote comes from a concert listing in the local alt-weekly, where people with overpriced degrees write abominable sentences about “ironic” music.

“A finalist on Nashville Star and winner of the Cover Girl Fresh Face of Country Music Award, Miranda Lambert has a résumé that reads like the instructions on a bag of Maruchan Smack Ramen. It’s clear that she was launched from the same bottomless box of blank ammo that spawned the impotent, lucrative careers of LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. But bushwhack through those dubious honors and discover a talent that is re-purposing the powers of this musical munitions factory to push modernizing ideas on an industry plagued by as much misogyny as a 2 Live Crew tour.”

WHAT THE FUCK DOES HALF OF THAT EVEN MEAN. i’d rant about it, but i’ll just let you wallow in the cultural-studies-degree of it all.

"I don’t think the trade is going anywhere."

“I don’t think the trade is going anywhere.”

- Devean George, proud Augsburg College alumnus and scuttler of the Jason Kidd-to-Dallas trade, one of the ballsiest moves I’ve seen from a dude lookin’ out for his contract. Also, he’s saving the Mavericks from themselves. Trust me.

this ad won the super bowl for me, but i’m biased in favor of good-looking ladies in underwear. so much so that it won in spite of its glaring error: waiting ‘til after the game to get it on is for amateurs. if you’re dedicated, you know that there are better things to do at halftime than watch tom petty.

Farewell, Dara.:

The last reason to read our local alt-weekly just left town. Actually, she’s still in town. Just not writing for City Pages anymore.
