Not sure if you caught this last night, but if you look closely behind Sen. Obama, you will see three dudes wearing Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts. Now, I’m not sure if this just happened to be three douchebags wearing A & F t-shirts, or if Abercrombie & Fitch paid to be placed there. If they did, I’m going to have to seriously reconsider my support of Sen. Obama’s campaign.

Derek, the creator of CD Baby has started blogging again (!!!), he’s a living music industry legend of passion and success. Google if you don’t know.

Read today:
1. Whatever scares you or excites you, go do it (And also Maslow’s Self Actualization)
2. Never have a limit on your income

3. What’s really keeping you from where you need to be? (It’s not piracy.)

Sweet. I had the pleasure of interviewing Derek once and he is incredibly innovative and fascinating. This is a must-read.

Sure, Sen. Obama may suck at bowling, but this is a fucking gutterball.

vaivoda:

Pictures of me cooking alone on Easter become exponentially creepier when filtered through the photo-to-old converter. [via]

If by “creepier” you mean “awesome,” then yes.

cajunboy:

of all the hillary clinton party pics to emerge over the weekend, this is by far my favorite. doesn’t she look like she’d be so much more comfortable with a nice pinot noir in her hand instead?

she looks like shes hiding acorns in those cheeks.

Looks like some Heaven’s Gate ritual. Was she wearing Nike’s?

"She’s packin’ a six-shooter."

“She’s packin’ a six-shooter.”

Billy Bragg - A New England

A familiar favorite to pass the time while I await his new album, Mr. Love & Justice, out later this month.

zetahydrae:

Holy balls. I can’t believe that they aired this on mainstream television; it’s way too sensible and accurate for them.

Wolf Blitzer gets three pundits on the air to discuss the latest political spectacle, Clinton and McCain ganging up on Obama for “belittling” the people of Pennsylvania. This was after a speech wherein Obama said that the people of Pennsylvania were bitter at Washington, left behind in economic frustration. It’s an utterly ridiculous situation, and Clinton and McCain get thoroughly served, especially by Cafferty at the end.

edit: Via Marco, Obama responds to the situation expertly.

NYT: Bryant Gumbel Resigns From NFL Network: If you watched games on the NFL Network the past two seasons, you know why this is a good thing. On the other hand, part of me will miss his awkward commentary.

Happy Hour

Welcome back to Tumblr, Jess….

The level of difficulty inherent in getting me out of bed is directly tied to how nice it is outside.

Today wasn’t too hard.

I completely agree with this sentiment.

I heard this on WXPN yesterday and just had to find it.

This is by far the best version of James Brown’s “Cold Sweat.” If you aren’t feeling this, you should call a doctor.

If this is really who Natalie is dating, I think I have a real chance here.

Looks like Devendra Banhart.

Teenage Music Purchases - Chuck Klosterman - Esquire

Teenage Music Purchases - Chuck Klosterman - Esquire:

peterwknox:

Chuck is right on about the state of the music industry. A good short read that I recommend and can’t attribute to the right person on tumblr (I went through 23 pages and couldn’t find it again).

I read this last night and I completely agree. Anyone who downloads music for free doesn’t have any ill intent. They aren’t “criminals,” nor should they be treated as such. Downloading is almost unconscious at this point. Imagine being a teenager today where free music is available instantly at the point and click of a mouse. Why would you pay for it? These are things the music industry must address.
