8 female products that make me glad I'm a guy
Blog of Hilarity &bull Feb 25, 2010
Its easy to be a guy. Men, for the most part, simply wake up and exist. We shave, shower and brush our teeth. When necessary, a man can be up and ready in seven minutes or better. Men have issues of their own, but its an entirely different, and much more frightening story for women. Theres a whole world of feminine care that I knew existed… Full Story »

Catching Up With... Clem Snide
Paste Magazine &bull Feb 25, 2010
It's a Wednesday afternoon, and Eef Barzelay is cleaning up. But someone still needs to put them in the dishwasher. Compared to other moments in Barzelay's life, this scenereduced to background sounds of running water and clanging porcelain over the phoneis a strangely peaceful one. Barzelay had already survived 15 years of relocation and lineup changes with Clem Snide when the band broke up for a second time in 2006, delaying the release of its sixth studio album by three years. But with the emergence of 2009's Hungry Bird came a reinvigorated band; as if to make up for lost… Full Story »

Going by the Book: Signs from Above
Bike Snob NYC &bull Feb 24, 2010
(Forms are already beginning to trickle in.) Throughout history, humanity has sought to impart meaning on life and to create codes for living. Over the centuries, these codes have been assembled into various books which serve as guides and moral templates. Such books include the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, and Bob Vila's extensive canon of works on home improvement and remodeling. I too live my life strictly according to "the book." More accurately, I adhere religiously to two books. These are my generic Bicycle Owner's Manual: And Stanley's Solid Gold Dream Book: The Bicycle Owner's Manual is the… Full Story »

The Ultimate Hipster Irony
bigthink.com via @basseq &bull Feb 24, 2010The search among urbanites for that ideal “authentic” neighborhood, rife with rustic brownstones, a diverse, culturally robust population, artisans, galleries, vendors, mom-and-pop shops, and familiar pubs pulsating with local music, has not only become banal, it’s destroying the very “authenticity”… Full Story »

Getting to Know... Title Tracks
Paste Magazine &bull Feb 19, 2010
John Davis spent seven years drumming for Q and Not U, part of the last great boom of punk acts signed to Washington, D.C.s Dischord Records around the turn of the new millennium. After the band burned out in 2005, Davis co-founded Georgie James, which drew from the summery sounds of 60s and 70s rock on songs that found him splitting vocal and songwriting duties with fellow D.C. musician Laura Burhenn. By the time Georgie James released its 2007 debut on Saddle Creek, however, the new group was already crumbling under the weight of personal tensions between Davis and Burhenn;… Full Story »

Backward Circles: Fight For No Right to Party
Bike Snob NYC &bull Feb 17, 2010
("I'm not so sure about that." Sign spotted by a reader in Williamsburg, Brooklyn) If you're anything like me, you may be struggling with the fact that today is Wednesday. Sure it's nominally Wednesday, but since Monday was a holiday (at least if you worship "Presidents") it really feels like Tuesday. This is the phenomenon known as "holiday lag." Yes, sometimes things can feel like other things. For example, a monocockular hand-modulated c rabon fribe (CRRRAB-on FREEB) frame with a properly oriented weave that has been impregnated with bong resin and lain up by the small hands of Japanese forest… Full Story »

The Very Best of Peter Gabriel
Paste Magazine &bull Feb 17, 2010
Anyone who knows me is well aware of my not-so-minor fixation with the music of Peter Gabriel. Some people mask their love of 70s prog and 80s pop with a veneer of detached, too-cool-for-school self-awareness. Would that I could be so ironic: I genuinely love the mans songwriting, and recognize the colossal impact… Full Story »
