My hero Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) recently played a benefit concert with his old school jazz band accompanying him. Check out this live performance of “Lump Sum,” during which some kid starts ripping the nastiest flute solo ever from about the 2:00 mark on. Seriously, this kid shreds the freaking jazz flute like nobody since Ron Burgandy.

Dear Yankees pitcher serial douchebag Joba Chamberlain,
I’m going to give you a pass on the DUI. You don’t deserve it. You make more than enough cash to hire a sober driver if you and your open container want to tear up some cornfields at 1AM.
It seems like you had a tough upbringing, and I agree that you can’t control who your parents are and what they do. So I’m going to give you a pass on your mother’s recent arrest for ALLEGEDLY selling meth to an undercover cop in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I can’t, however, give you a pass on your face. Or the fact that you’re a giant punk b—-h. Or the fact that you look like a fat bizarro Julia Stiles. (Don’t believe me look below.)
As the Finns say, “Toivomme kuse muuntajaan.” May you piss on a transformer.
Love always,

If I told you that about 20 NYU students got together to record a live-music-video (music and video recorded simultaneously in one take) featuring an MC, gospel vocal ensemble, a full string section, a basist, a drummer, a pianist, a guitarist, a banjo player and a dancer and that they together recreated the sonic landscape from Lil’ Wayne’s “Let the Beat Build,” would you watch it?

Rule of Life # 2384890.1A
When you’re selling off a bunch of old sh—, do your research and know what it is you’re actually selling because it might be the original recipe for Dr. Pepper.

I won’t buy this book. But if someone accidentally posts it online somewhere and I accidentally find I might accidentally read it.
Here’s the “inside scoop” from New York Magazine.

Jon Stewart calls Harry Truman a war criminal and then gets pwned by this dude. Long (17 mins), but highly informative and persuasive.

I don’t remember our senior prank, probably because it wasn’t very good.
At least not as good as this one. I mean they welded a car around a flagpole. A freaking car.

“Moth’s Wings” - Passion Pit
Passion Pit managed to earn the #3 spot on my Top 20 Albums of 2008 list even though they didn’t actually put out a full-length. Their first LP is called “Manners” and comes out in a couple weeks. It’s a safe bet for my Top 20 Albums of 2009.
