i feel like pandora and npr and all of these sites are competing for “most intimate show humanly possible” pandora has “whiteboard sessions,” npr has “tiny desk concerts” and there’s concerts in cafes and stores. i assume the next logical step is cramming a band into a porta-potty and having a jam sesh.
Myi googled greatest directors cause i saw a photo that included carrot top in the suggestions and i thought that was funny and i wanted to see if he’d be there (he was, but is no longer) anyway, what i actually realized was that of the 30-40 google generated suggestions one was Asian (Kurosawa), there was one woman (Kathryn Bigelow), and the rest were white dudes. I googled again to see if that was still true and now there are three Asian men (Ang Lee and Miyazaki) and a Black man was added (Spike Lee). Except Bigelow was not there anymore so yeah

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you have tagged them.

1. Imagine that you’re an insanely talented musician (maybe you already are). All of your favorite bands/artists have asked you to go on tour with them as a backing musician. Who do you go with and why? 2. You're going to open a museum, and you can put anything in it. What are your exhibits? 3. If you don't push the button, it will go unpushed! Do you push it? 4. What movie that many people like do you not particularly care for, or vice versa? Why? 5. Butts? 6. You've been captured by pirates and held at a ransom equivalent to the US deficit. After three months of capture, some US Navy Seals team up with Spetsnaz and MI6 to save you. Who are the first three people you call after your release? 7. After you call those people, David Karp, founder of tumblr, texts you "If I were to change/improve anything about tumblr, what would it be?" You reply? 8.

Or... neither?? 10. You're writing an autobiography. What's the title?
